Chapter 1481


    Chapter 1481


    Ha! This was nothing short of absurd.


    Three years ago, Theo snuck into the maternity ward to steal away a child from Ellinor, all for the sake


    of starting a family with Sophia? Had they been living this shameless charade ever since?


    Balfour, his gaze as deep as the ocean, gave an order. “Quinton, guard the front door. Keep a keen eye


    on the peephole. If anyonees in or out, report it to me immediately.”

    “Yes, Mr. Howard.” Quinton epted the order, promptly turning to stand by the t’s entrance. He


    watched the peephole without a moment ofxity.


    Balfour rubbed his temples as his gaze turned pensive.


    He hardly cared if Theo was alive or dead.


    What mattered to him from the very beginning was his sister.


    If Theo had deliberately stolen a child from Ellinor and abandoned everything to be with Sophia…


    How could Ellinor face the truth?


    What did her waiting, searching, and hoping for the past three years amount to?


    She would be devastated.


    If Theo truly betrayed Ellinor, it would be better if he were dead. At least in death, Ellinor’s pure heart


    wouldn’t be so thoroughly wounded.


    And as long as Theo’s death wasn’t confirmed, a glimmer of hope would still reside in Ellinor’s heart.


    Perhaps after a few years, she could entirely forget this love.


    Meanwhile, inside the t across the street.


    Sophia received a phone call from the auction house, asking her to verify her identity. They imed a


    client had questioned if she was the daughter of the owner of Blue River Estates and had manipted


    the auction by hyping up the price.


    Without a doubt, Sophia knew Ellinor was behind this.


    She brushed off the auction house with a few hasty words, insisting she wasn’t involved, and promptly


    hung up.


    Sophia knew that this wouldn’t be the end of it, and more trouble was sure to follow. All thanks to that


    despicable woman, Ellinor.


    Wherever Ellinor was, trouble was sure to follow. Sophia felt as if she were cursed to cross paths with


    her.


    Sophia was feeling anxious. She wasn’t interested in the auction. What troubled her more was Marcus’


    reaction.


    Marcus had seen Ellinor today. Although there wasn’t any immediate reaction, Sophia feared it could


    trigger his memory.


    Years ago, after she and Theo had finalized their divorce, she made up an excuse for Theo to stay a


    little longer so he could advise her on suitors.


    In reality, she had no suitors. Everyone at M State knew her father was Thaddeus. No one would dare


    have ill intentions towards Thaddeus’ daughter.


    That day, she had deliberately made up an excuse for Theo to stay, waiting for a renowned hypnotist


    she had hired to hypnotize Theo.


    She wanted him to forget his identity and all his past memories.


    Moreover, she also asked the hypnotist to make Theo fall in love with her. She wanted him to be


    eternally smitten by her.


    Unfortunately, while the memory hypnosis was sessful, the emotional hypnosis didn’t work.


    Even the world-ss hypnotist admitted that he had never encountered someone as stubborn as Theo.


    Normally, almost everyone would fall under his hypnosis. Theo was the most difficult person he’d ever


    tried to hypnotize.


    It took a tremendous effort just to erase his memory, but the hypnosis to make him fall in love with her


    waspletely ineffective, no matter how he tried to prompt


    Sophia couldn’t help but sigh. Even hypnosis was ineffective. Was it really that hard for him to fall in


    love with her?
