The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 723

Veronica was frowning and looked a tad upset. "Devin, all you care about is whether Ellinor is mad. Why don't you ask if I'm pissed off too?!"

Devin fell silent.

Feeling neglected, Veronica was annoyed with both Devin and the servants around them. "Huh! This house is turning into the Mendoza family circus, with everyone siding with that outsider!"

Devin looked helpless; he hadn't favored anyone. It was Ms. Blanchet's fault for barging into Ellinor's room in the first place.

The servants, too, felt they hadn't done anything wrong. They weren't favoring Ellinor; they just thought Ms. Blanchet had been too rash.

Veronica fumed more and more as she stormed back to her room, so she called Patricia.

The call quickly connected, and Patricia's familiar and gentle voice echoed. "What's up, Veronica?"

Veronica didn't hide her anger. "Patricia, do you know?! Ellinor is acting all high and mighty! She's parading around the Blanchet villa like she's the lady of the house!"

On the other side, Patricia paused for a moment before responding. "Veronica, don't panic; tell me slowly, what happened? Did Ellinor do something outrageous?"

Veronica thought for a moment, trying to stay calm. "She didn't do anything specific; she just unfairly has my brother wrapped around her little finger. Now everyone at home treats her like the lady of the house; they don't even look at me! She's even using my brother's support to treat me like a maid. I'm so mad!"

Pretending to sympathize, Patricia said, "What? She treats you like a maid? Veronica, I too think Ellinor's attitude is a bit over the top; isn't Theo at home? Doesn't he care?"

Veronica replied. "My brother has already gone to the office, and that woman, Ellinor, is comfortably sleeping in my brother's bedroom! Even if my brother was home, he would only help her, not me!

Patricia, you don't understand. My brother is now completely under Ellinor’s charm; he listens to everything she says. I really don't know what Ellinor did to my brother!
