The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 312

Ellinor smiled, “If it was me, you would have to investigate thoroughly and never give up! if it were your good friend, would you tell me not to pursue it? Ms. Howard, you have obvious double standards!”

“Ellinor, actually, I never intended to go after you in the first place. It was Balfour, being overprotective and all…” Patricia said, looking at bit embarrassed.

Still handcuffed, Ellinor leaned back in her chair, “Ms. Howard, I’d rather not hear you out anymore. Let’s just leave the rest to the cops,

Patricia hung her head, not giving up on defending her friend, “I’m sorry, I know we wronged you. But she’s my best friend. I just hope. you can be a bit more forgiving…”

Ignoring Patricia, Ellinor turned to the stern–faced Balfour, “Mr. Balfour, you’re quite fond of your sister, aren’t you? You wouldn’t let the real culprit off the hook, would you?”

Patricia frowned, turning to Balfour as well, “You know she didn’t mean to harm me, she was just trying to help me, just in the wrong

Seeing a hint of hesitation on Balfour’s face, Ellinor chuckled, “Mr. Balfour, I hope you can stick to your principles and not play favorites like your sister. Don’t make yourself a laughing stock.”

Balfour snapped back to reality, his lips curling into a slight smile, “Ms. Mendoza, rest assured, if the police prove that what Zachary and his family just said is true, I’ll treat it fairly.”

“Good.” Ellinor smiled.

Hearing Balfour’s statement, Haillie broke down, “Balfour! It wasn’t me. Ellinor set me up! You have to believe me…”

The police stepped in to restrain the uncooperative Haillie, handcuffing her and taking her to the interrogation room.
