    That maid who was using her was the same one who had just served her a cup of coffee in the


    living room.


    And she only came to this kitchen following that maid.


    Once she stepped in, the maid vanished


    At first, she was puzzled, wondering how the maid could just disappear like that. But now she


    understood that the maid had been hiding behind the fridge all along, ready to step out and frame her


    The maid was a pawn in Patricia’s carefullyid trap.


    Ellinor was indeed cornered now. With both human and physical evidence against her, she had no


    choice but to let the police unearth the truth and clear her name


    Once the police and the coroner arrived, they would naturally determine the time and real cause of the


    child’s death, and the murderer would be revealed


    However, with her prearranged maid ready to testify against Ellinor, Patricia felt confident of victory. Yet


    seeing Theo’s unwavering trust in Ellinor twisted her heart with jealousy.


    Patricia gnashed her teeth in frustration, then clung to Baber, sobbing in grief and saying, “Since Ellinor


    still refuses to admit her crime, let’s do as she wishes and call the police! We can’t let my Baber’s death


    go unexined”


    Balfour wasn’t going to show mercy to this unrepentant Ellinor, and he signaled the maid to call the


    police.


    Ellinor yawned tiredly. “Theo, they’re calling the cops. Guess we’ll have to stick around for a bit and


    cooperate with the investigation, huh?”


    Theo looked at her, “Didn’t you say you were tired?”


    Ellinor shrugged helplessly. “I’m tired, but I still have to cooperate with the investigation. I want to be a


    law-abiding citizen!”


    Theo caressed her head affectionately as his heart ached. He regretted bringing her here tonight. They


    had just made up, and now she was dragged into this mess.


    After the Howard family’s maid called the police, Ellinor caught a fleeting, provocative smile on


    Patricia’s face.


    Patricia could still manage to smile while still holding her recently deceased son?


    Unfortunately, that twisted smile was brief, and only Ellinor saw it. No one else had discovered


    Patricia’s true nature.


    Ellinor felt a chill after seeing that provocative smile. She suddenly foresaw another hurdle she would


    have to face.


    With Patricia’s cunning and meticulous tactics, she must have factored in all risks when setting up this


    trap. Maybe even the coroner and police were part of her n.


    This fact was evident from Patricia’s nonchnt attitude toward calling the police.


    Ellinor should have realized earlier that Patricia’s sphere of influence was vast


    Now, relying on those bribed by Patricia to uncover the truth was an impossibility.


    This time, she really made a huge mistake. She wrongly assumed that Patricia still had a shred of


    maternal instinct and was fooled by her acting.


    In her worry, Ellinor caught sight of the deceased child in Patricia’s arms. His finger moved slightly, a


    movement so slight but not an illusion.


    Could the child still be alive?!


    and rea


    Ellinor’s eyes dted, and she quickly walked over, crouched down, and reached out to feel the child’s


    pulse.
