The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1072

Ellinor sat calmly in the guest seat. She looked at her and spoke with a smile, “Mrs. Howard, why are you so worked up? I don’t think I’ve finished yet.”

Xenia got even more mad while watching Ellinor sit there, looking all chill. Her words seemed to have no effect on her. It was like she was throwing cotton punches. While grinding her teeth in annoyance, she said, “Ellinor, don’t get too cocky too soon! I bet you’re not having such a great time with the Blanchet family, are you? I just can’t believe that they’d respect a country bumpkin like you that much. Sooner or later, Theo will get bored of you, and you’ll be out!”

Ellinor just shrugged it off, “Thanks for the heads up, Mrs. Howard. Alright, let’s get down to business! You probably know why I’m here, Baber is no longer of any use to you. Keeping him around is just a hassle. Let me take him away, it’ll be better for everyone.”

Xenia’s eyes flashed with anger, “Over my dead body! Baber is my grandson! He was legally adopted by my daughter, so who are you to take him away?” “Because my husband, Theo, is also Baber’s legal guardian, and Patricia is in jail now. This child has no use to you anymore, you don’t even love him, so why are you still holding on?”

Xenia snorted disdainfully, “Yes, this child is of no value to us anymore, but don’t think I don’t know your game, Ellinor. You want to take him back and show off how kind and righteous you are in front of the Blanchets. But I won’t let you have your way! What are you gonna do about it?”
