The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 1029

Chapter 1029 

Patricia turned to Dean again and looked at him with eyes filled with sorrow. “Grandpa… I didn’t… It was Ellinor… She tricked me into saying those things.” 

Dean turned away, looking disappointed. He refused to acknowledge the black sheep in his proud family. 

Patricia had lost all sympathy from her family and friends, and she was on the verge of a total breakdown. 

When a person hit rock bottom, they could lose all reason. Patricia pointed at Ellinor, who was standing next to Alyssa, looking indifferent. 

“It’s her! It’s all her doing! How else could she have faked her own death and now stand here unscathed!” 

Dean and Alyssa looked at Patricia, who was beyond reason, and frowned. 

Ellinor looked down at her and smirked. “Unscathed? Patricia, which eye of yours sees me unscathed? Am I not injured?” 

As she said this, she pointed to the bandage wrapped around her forehead. 

Patricia glared at her and said, “Ellinor, you only got a little hurt; why did you have to fake your death? Just to make me spill everything, right?” Ellinor didn’t deny it, nodding. “Yes, I faked my death to make you reveal your thoughts.” 

Patricia’s eyes lit up, and she quickly turned her pitiful eyes to Dean and Alyssa. “Grandpa, Grandma, Brother, did you hear that? Ellinor admitted it; she tricked me into saying those things!” 

But Dean, Alyssa, and Balfour didn’t harbor any doubts about Ellinor; they only looked at Patricia, who seemed beyond hope. 

Ellinor calmly said, “Yes, I led you on. I made you think I was dead, so you’d lower your guard and reveal your true feelings. Ms. Howard, the words you said were not out of anger but your deepest desires, weren’t they?” 

Patricia, humiliated and angry, lunged at Ellinor. “No! It was you who set me up and led me on; it’s all your fault!” 

Ellinor stepped back just in time to avoid the wild Patricia. 

At that moment, Balfour stepped forward, shielding Ellinor and kicking the crazed Patricia away.
