The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 702

Chapter 701 

A few of the cops obviously knew about the clout the Blanchet family had, which made them look very upset, “Mr. Blanchel, don’t make our job harder. We’re just trying to play by the book here” 

Theo snorted and furrowed his brow, “Play by the book? Just based on what some people from the Howard family said, you want to take my wife away as a murder suspect?” 

Wait, what?! 

This girl named Ellinor Mendoza was Mr. Blanchet’s wife?! 

The cops were now totally flustered! 

At first, when they saw the girl standing next to Mr. Blanchet, they thought she might just be his girlfriend. They never expected her to be Mr. Blanchet’s wife 

They couldn’t afford to offend her. If Mrs. Blanchet really was innocent, they could hardly imagine the consequences. Even their bosses might not have been able to handle the fallout 

Balfour could tell that the cops were intimidated by Theo’s power. He frowned, stepped forward, and said, “Theo, the police just want to take Ellinor back for questioning, not to arrest her! If she’s really innocent, they’ll let her go. Don’t challenge the law‘ 

Theo stared at him coldly, and everyone fell silent. The cops were clueless about what to do. 

Just then, Balfour’s phone started buzzing. He toned down his aggression a bit, pulled out his phone, and saw it was Quinton calling. 

Womed that something might have happened to Baber, Balfour didn’t delay and stepped aside to answer the call. 

Balfour asked, “What’s up? How’s Baber doing?” 

Quinton hurriedly said, “Baber’s okay; you don’t need to worry!” 

After hearing that Baber was fine, Balfour’s brow relaxed a little, “Anything else?” 

Quinton was silent for a few seconds, then said with a complex tone, “Baber just said it wasn’t Ellinor who hurt him, so… I thought you should know this so you don’t get the wrong idea about Ms. Mendoza.” 

Balfour’s eyebrows knitted together, and his icy gaze tightened, “What exactly did Baber say?” 

Quinton told Balfour everything about Baber’s situation. 

After hanging up, Balfour looked troubled, then turned around and said in a deep voice. “Officers, you can head back now! This was all a misunderstanding; my apologies.” 

The sudden twist left everyone dumbfounded 

The cops, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. They were already at their wits end.
