Chapter 833


    “Are you saying a mother would harm her own kid? Balfour, have you lost your marbles? I also had a


    ss of that pomegranate juice. If it was poisoned, howe I’m still standing?


    If there was indeed something off about the juice, it could simply be a case of bad food pairing, which is


    an ident. There’s no way my mom intended this


    Patricia argued logically using the fact that she had also drunk the juice as her defense. This left


    Balfour with no room for arguments, thus reducing his suspicion towards Xenia, so he kept his mouth


    shut.


    Ellinor chuckled “Ms Howard, did you conveniently forget? Right after you finished your ss, you


    bolted to the restroom and threw it all up”


    Patricia’s e eyes flickered, and her brows furrowed. She swallowed her anger and resentment, looking


    at Ellinor and appearing wronged


    “Ellinor, do you just love stirring the pot? When did i throw up the juice? Got any proof? I simply went to


    the restroom! Why are you so hell bent on rning my mom?” Ellinor calmly looked at Patricia, feeling


    like apuding her for handling this unexpected situation so effectively


    At that moment, the silent McNeil Howard cleared his throat and said, “Enough! No more bickering


    outside the emergency room. The truth will be out once the test results are in ”


    His words carried weight. As soon as McNeil Howard spoke, everyone simmered down.


    Patricia and Xenia exchanged nces, both contemting their next move


    Ellinor was in no rush to find the real culprit. If one didn’t want others to know what they had done, they


    shouldnt have ever done it in the first ce. The mother-daughter duo won’t be able to weasel out of


    this!


    Out of concern for pregnant Ellinor, Thea led her to a nearby waiting chair.


    He gently pressed her shoulder, signaling her to sit and wait.


    Patricia watched this scene with eyes filled with jealousy


    After watching Ellinor being treated so gently by Theo, Patricia approached and said, “Theo, I know you


    have a soft spot for Ellinor, and you’re on her side. But just because you fancy her you cant let her


    use my mom, can you? Even considering that I once saved your life, you can’t sit back and watch


    my family be framed.”

    Theo nced at her, remembering how she saved his life. He was moved but remained silent for two


    seconds before saying, “I haven’t expressed my opinion yet. As for whether your mother is being


    unjustly used, let’s wait for the test results.”


    Ellinor didn’t say anything she just watched Patricia’s performance quietly. She was using the fact that


    she saved Theo’s life to ckmail him.


    It wasughable that over her being his savior was a sham


    She had stolen the credit from others and was still acting high and mighty What a joke!


    ‘Theo Patricia attempted to grab the hem of Theo’s clothes. She always did this because she didn’t


    dare hold his hand. She would lightly pull at his clothes, trying to get his attention, hoping he would look


    at her


    But this time, she didn’t manage to touch his cloilies because, when she was about to touch their hem,


    Ellinor stopped her.


    Ellinor firmly gripped Patricia’s wrist, like a cop catching a thief, holding her hand firmly. With a


    sarcastic smile, she asked, ‘Ms. Howard, are you trying to make an inappropriate move on my husband


    in broad daylight?”


    Patricia’s face went sour She tried to pull her hand back, but she couldn’t


    “Ellinor, what are you doing? Ouch! It hurts… Theo, help ma; Ellinor is hurting me..
