Chapter 1481
Ha! This was nothing short of absurd.
Three years ago, Theo snuck into the maternity ward to steal away a child from Ellinor, all for the sake of starting a
family with Sophia? Had they been living this shameless charade ever since?
Balfour, his gaze as deep as the ocean, gave an order. “Quinton, guard the front door. Keep a keen eye on the
peephole. If anyone comes in or out, report it to me immediately.”
“Yes, Mr. Howard.” Quinton accepted the order, promptly turning to stand by the flat’s entrance. He watched the
peephole without a moment of laxity.
Balfour rubbed his temples as his gaze turned pensive.
He hardly cared if Theo was alive or dead.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat mattered to him from the very beginning was his sister.
If Theo had deliberately stolen a child from Ellinor and abandoned everything to be with Sophia…
How could Ellinor face the truth?
What did her waiting, searching, and hoping for the past three years amount to?
She would be devastated.
If Theo truly betrayed Ellinor, it would be better if he were dead. At least in death, Ellinor’s pure heart wouldn’t be
so thoroughly wounded.
And as long as Theo’s death wasn’t confirmed, a glimmer of hope would still reside in Ellinor’s heart. Perhaps after
a few years, she could entirely forget this love.
Meanwhile, inside the flat across the street.
Sophia received a phone call from the auction house, asking her to verify her identity. They claimed a client had
questioned if she was the daughter of the owner of Blue River Estates and had manipulated the auction by hyping
up the price.
Without a doubt, Sophia knew Ellinor was behind this.
She brushed off the auction house with a few hasty words, insisting she wasn’t involved, and promptly hung up.
Sophia knew that this wouldn’t be the end of it, and more trouble was sure to follow. All thanks to that despicable
woman, Ellinor.
Wherever Ellinor was, trouble was sure to follow. Sophia felt as if she were cursed to cross paths with her.
Sophia was feeling anxious. She wasn’t interested in the auction. What troubled her more was Marcus’ reaction.
Marcus had seen Ellinor today. Although there wasn’t any immediate reaction, Sophia feared it could trigger his
memory.
Years ago, after she and Theo had finalized their divorce, she made up an excuse for Theo to stay a little longer so

In reality, she had no suitors. Everyone at M State knew her father was Thaddeus. No one would dare have ill
intentions towards Thaddeus’ daughter.
That day, she had deliberately made up an excuse for Theo to stay, waiting for a renowned hypnotist she had hired
to hypnotize Theo.
She wanted him to forget his identity and all his past memories.
Moreover, she also asked the hypnotist to make Theo fall in love with her. She wanted him to be eternally smitten
by her.
Unfortunately, while the memory hypnosis was successful, the emotional hypnosis didn’t work.
Even the world-class hypnotist admitted that he had never encountered someone as stubborn as Theo. Normally,
almost everyone would fall under his hypnosis. Theo was the most difficult person he’d ever tried to hypnotize.
It took a tremendous effort just to erase his memory, but the hypnosis to make him fall in love with her was
completely ineffective, no matter how he tried to prompt

Sophia couldn’t help but sigh. Even hypnosis was ineffective. Was it really that hard for him to fall in love with her?
