The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo)

Chapter 41

Tracy consoled her daughter, “Sheila, don’t sweat it, Mom's got your back!

We'll restore your reputation Now, no more tears.”

Ellinor stood quietly nearby, watching the mother—

daughter drama unfold before her. A smirk tugged at the corners of her mouth, and she let out a sof Upon hearing Ellinor's laughter, Sheila immediately stopped crying. She scowled, pointing a finger at “Ellinor, it's you! You've set me up

Ellinor put on an innocent face and shrugged. “Sis, I'm just a lowly maid What power do I have to har Indeed, she didn't spend a dime and just used some technical tricks.

Sheila still glared at her angrily, “Even if you didn't hire internet trolls, you're the one driving a wedge out!”

Ellinor frowned, “Sis, wasn't it you who asked Dad to call me back?”

Sheila was speechless

Ellinor continued, “Besides, even if I hadn't come back today, Dad would've found out from the news Sheila had no comeback and could only continue to sob.

Tracy couldn't bear to see her daughter in such distress and revealed her true colors, “Ellinor, stop th front of your dad!”

“I know who I am, even if you don't. But I'm well aware of the kind of people you two are," said Ellinc With that, she turned and left to find Arnold.

She had some words for her father.

Tracy was gritting her teeth in anger as she watched Ellinor strut away.

This little rat, Ellinor, dared to laugh at them!

Just wait and see, she'll get what's coming to her!

Tracy had always wanted to kick Ellinor out of the Mendoza family but never succeeded.

Although their family wasn't wealthy, they had a lot of property left by their ancestors. The rent alone But how could Tracy tolerate this little outsider rat getting a piece of the pie?!

Before, Tracy tried to marry off Ellinor quickly, making her an outsider and losing

her inheritance rights.

But the matchmaking for Ellinor kept hitting snags and dragging on until now.

It looked like she needed to come up with another plan to deal with this little rat soon.

She was a troublemaker in the house!

Arnold was fuming in his study when someone knocked on the door. He snapped, “Buzz off!”

“Dad, it's me.”

Ellinor's sweet voice came through.

Arnold cooled down a bit, “Ellinor? Come in.”

Gently, Ellinor opened the door to the study and walked in with a painting in her hand.
