The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 693

That maid who was accusing her was the same one who had just served her a cup of coffee in the living room.

And she only came to this kitchen following that maid.

Once she stepped in, the maid vanished

At first, she was puzzled, wondering how the maid could just disappear like that. But now she understood that the

maid had been hiding behind the fridge all along, ready to step out and frame her

The maid was a pawn in Patricia’s carefully laid trap.

Ellinor was indeed cornered now. With both human and physical evidence against her, she had no choice but to let

the police unearth the truth and clear her name

Once the police and the coroner arrived, they would naturally determine the time and real cause of the child’s

death, and the murderer would be revealed

However, with her prearranged maid ready to testify against Ellinor, Patricia felt confident of victory. Yet seeing

Theo’s unwavering trust in Ellinor twisted her heart with jealousy.

Patricia gnashed her teeth in frustration, then clung to Baber, sobbing in grief and saying, “Since Ellinor still refuses

to admit her crime, let’s do as she wishes and call the police! We can’t let my Baber’s death go unexplained”

Balfour wasn’t going to show mercy to this unrepentant Ellinor, and he signaled the maid to call the police.

Ellinor yawned tiredly. “Theo, they’re calling the cops. Guess we’ll have to stick around for a bit and cooperate with

the investigation, huh?”

Theo looked at her, “Didn’t you say you were tired?”

Ellinor shrugged helplessly. “I’m tired, but I still have to cooperate with the investigation. I want to be a law-abiding

citizen!”

Theo caressed her head affectionately as his heart ached. He regretted bringing her here tonight. They had just

made up, and now she was dragged into this mess.

After the Howard family’s maid called the police, Ellinor caught a fleeting, provocative smile on Patricia’s face.

Patricia could still manage to smile while still holding her recently deceased son?

Unfortunately, that twisted smile was brief, and only Ellinor saw it. No one else had discovered Patricia’s true

nature.

Ellinor felt a chill after seeing that provocative smile. She suddenly foresaw another hurdle she would have to face.

even the coroner and police were part of her plan.

This fact was evident from Patricia’s nonchalant attitude toward calling the police.

Ellinor should have realized earlier that Patricia’s sphere of influence was vast

Now, relying on those bribed by Patricia to uncover the truth was an impossibility.

This time, she really made a huge mistake. She wrongly assumed that Patricia still had a shred of maternal instinct

and was fooled by her acting.

In her worry, Ellinor caught sight of the deceased child in Patricia’s arms. His finger moved slightly, a movement so

slight but not an illusion.

Could the child still be alive?!

and rea

Ellinor’s eyes dilated, and she quickly walked over, crouched down, and reached out to feel the child’s pulse.
