The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 794

Mrs. Howard was trying to come up with a plan for her daughter when she asked, “Patri, do you have a photo of that girl, Ellinor? I want to see what she looks like.”

At the mention of Ellinor, Patricia’s eyes gleamed with jealousy. “Mom, I can’t stand her. Why would I have her picture? But I have to admit that even without makeup, she’s not too shabby looking. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s had some work done”

Mrs. Howard wasn’t taken aback. “Theo’s got good taste, so of course the girl he’s into would be a looker. Patri, Theo’s pretty smitten with her right now, so don’t go stirring up trouble; it’ll just make him resent you.”

Patricia retorted, “Mom! Are you saying I should just let this slide? I love Theo, and I want to be Mrs. Blanchet. He’s the only guy I know who has excellent looks, status, and brains. He’s perfect for me, so there’s no way I’m backing down!”
