    Chapter 685


    She was loungingfortably on the couch, yawning and taking in the surroundings in a leisurely


    manner


    So this was the Howard family’s mansion?


    This was where she was born


    Weirdly, she had no memory of this ce


    “Ellinor, can we have a private chat somewhere else? Patricia suddenly asked


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Ellinor was not up for it. No need I can’t be bothered to move just spill it out here. This is your turf, I


    ain’t scared What’s there for you to freak out about?”


    Patricia was unable to convince her ‘Ellinor, I’ve underestimated you all along, but I ain’t going down


    without a fight!


    Ellinor didn’t want to get into a tit-for-tat with her, she didn’t give a hoot about who would win or lose in


    an argument with Patricial


    But there was something she wanted to ask Patricia


    “Ms. Howard, it’s just the two of us now, let’s cut the crap! Did the kid really go missing, or are you just


    putting on a show?”


    Using that innocent kid to mess with Theo was Patricia’s typical move.


    Ellinor started to question the authenticity of Baber’s disappearance


    Patricia, however, was wiping her tear-streaked face. “Do I look like I’m joking? I genuinely can’t find


    my kid”


    Ellinor didn’t buy her crocodile tears, “If Baber really is lost, instead of crying here, why don’t you go out


    and look for him? Even if the kid ain’t yours, you are supposed to ensure his safety


    Patricias face changed, she knew that Ellinor had found out that the kid was adopted


    “Yes, you’re right! The kid is not mine! But even if he’s adopted, he’s still the tie that binds me and Theo


    together! Theo is a responsible man, and he would never abandon us! Ellinor, don’t even think about


    snatching Theo away from me, it ain’t gonna happen!”


    Ellinor wasn’t particrly bothered by the existence of the adopted kid, she just looked at Patricia and


    felt puzzled, “Ms. Howard, don’t you get tired?”


    Patriciaughed hysterically. “I’m not tired! I am willing to pay any price to keep Theo by my side


    because I love him!”


    Ellinor shook her head, “No, that’s not love.”


    Patricia was indignant, “Then what is love? No one loves Theo more than I do! Including you!”


    Ellinor looked at her with pity. “You’re just a freak!”


    Patricia stood up in anger, “Ellinor, what do you know? One day. Theo will realize that I’m the one who


    loves him the most!”


    Ellinor was speechless. She chuckled, indicating that she didn’t want to deal with this crazy woman


    anymore.


    Patricia stomped her foot angrily and turned around to leave, probably to look for the kid


    After a while, a maid brought her a cup of coffee. “Ms. Mendoza, please have some coffee.”


    “Thanks” Ellinor was feeling thirsty, she took the coffee cup and was about to take a sip, but was


    caught off guard by a drop of bright red liquid on the white cup, which made her stop in her tracks.


    That red liquid didn’t look like a beverage.


    Ellinor was alert, she lightly touched the red liquid with her fingertip, then sniffed it. Was that blood?


    Why was there blood on the cup?
