Theo turned around, got into his car that was parked behind him, and then drove away.
After watching Theo's car vanish at the end of the road, Chase turned his gaze to Ellinor and asked, "Ellinor, what's the deal? Why did Theo drop you off again, and you mentioned that someone's got it in for you? Is that true?"
Although Theo had left, Ellinor let out a sigh of relief, but her anxiety didn't ease up. She waved her hand tiredly, "It's a long story! I'm beat; let’s head home and rest first.”
…
Meanwhile, somewhere else.
In a car on the road, Collin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned to look at Mr. Blanchet in the back seat, whose face was as dark as thunder. He felt the pressure and dared not speak.
However, when Mr. Blanchet stepped out of the car to rescue Ms. Mendoza, he left his phone in the car and Ms. Wesley called. Fearing it might be an emergency, Collin picked up the call instead.
He had to relay what Ms. Wesley had told him to Mr. Blanchet.
After a moment of consideration, he mustered up the courage to speak.
"Mr. Blanchet, Ms. Wesley just called. She said it's her mother's birthday today and she hopes you can come over for dinner to celebrate."
Belinda Wesley's mother was almost twenty years older than him.
Theo's mother passed away when he was very young, and Belinda's mother had always cared for Theo like a parent.
