The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 57

When Veronica saw that Grandma seemed willing to believe Ellinor, he immediately interrupted, "Gran, don't listen to her excuses, don't let her fool you again. If she's really feeling unwell, why isn't she in the hospital but hanging around with a guy in the lounge? Gran, we, the Blanchet family, can't tolerate such a woman with loose morals. She has character issues, not only is she having an affair, she even swiped Haillie's watch yesterday. Ask Haillie if you don't believe me!"

Haillie put on a generous expression and shook her head, "Actually, I don't mind, it's just a lost watch, no big deal. But what Ellinor's done today, it's really unfair to Theo..."

Ellinor turned pale, gave a little smile, but ignored Haillie and the others.

She threw off the blanket on her, propped herself up and said to Marissa, "Gran, whether you believe it or not, I haven't done anything to wrong the Blanchet family."

Seeing her face so pale, Marissa wanted her to sit down before they continued...

But Byran, impatient, came forward, grabbed Ellinor by the collar and said, "Enough with your excuses! No one here is going to believe your lies! If you know what's good for you, admit your mistake and leave the Blanchet family. Don't wait for us to kick you out!"

Bartlett came over and pulled Byran's hand away, "Let go of her, can't you see she's not feeling well?"

Byran laughed, "Oh, you stood up for her like this? And you dare say there's nothing going on between you two?"

Bartlett didn't bother arguing, "Innocent people are naturally innocent! Mr. Howard, you'd better watch what you say, because there are consequences for speaking recklessly!"

Bartlett, who always had a smile on his face, now had a serious look, his sharp eyes emitting an intimidating aura.

Byran felt a bit uncomfortable, mumbling, "I didn't say anything wrong. You two were caught together in the lounge..."

Bartlett ignored Byran, turned around to look at the weak Ellinor, and supported her wobbling shoulders, "Ellinor, how are you? Are you okay?"
