Chapter 539

“Ellinor, you’ve gotta understand that once they check out the surveillance footage, my bro will surely

seek revenge for me and my child and use the tape as evidence to charge you with assault!

The only reason I don’t want to press charges is because you’ve helped Theo deal with the old folks at

home before, so you’re sorta an old friend. But why the hell can’t you change? Why the heck are you

still choosing the wrong path?”

She said all this with such righteous indignation that anyone who didn’t know the truth would think Ms.

Howard was a beautiful, kind, and forgiving lady.

Ellinor saw through her act and chuckled lightly, “Ms Howard, I appreciate the sentiment, but I’ve

always been someone who’s not afraid to face the music. If the cameras did catch me doing what

you’re accusing me of, I’d march myself into prison without a second thought, no matter how many

years they gave me, I wouldn’t appeal!”

Patncia glared at her, grinding her teeth in frustration, but still managed to put on a show of being teary-

eyed and wronged.

She knew very well that things had come to this point because Ellinor was backing her into a comer. If

she didn’t ask to see the restaurant’s surveillance now, she’d look super guilty and suspicious, since

even her brother was starting to doubt her.

“Fine! Let’s do it your way!” Patricia, after all her theatrics, put on a face of helplessness and sighed

deeply. “Bro, I was thinking of letting Ellinor off the hook this time since I was womed that you’d want to

avenge Baber as soon as you saw the tape and be too harsh on Ellinor. But Ellinor doesn’t appreciate

it, and she even hints that I’m lying and that I’m scared. It’s just too much! In that case, I guess there’s

no need for me to pull any punches! Bro, let’s go check the hotel’s surveillance right now!”

Balfour’s suspicion faded when she saw his sister’s reaction getting back to normal, “Alright, let’s go!”

Baber’s nanny had arrived at the hospital. So Patricia gave her a few instructions and was ready to

leave.

Ellinor, on the other hand, was alert to Patricia’s change of attitude.

Patricia knew that the truth from the surveillance would only prove her to be a liar, but she was

suddenly not afraid to check the footage, there must have been something shady going on.

Balfour and Patricia turned around with their eyes full of hostility. He glanced at Ellinor, who was in

deep thought, and said sarcastically. “What are you daydreaming about? You wanted to prove your

innocence, right? Let’s go!”

Ellinor snapped back to reality, nodded, and followed the siblings out.

Bartlett walked over to Ellinor and whispered, “Ellinor, where’d you disappear to earlier?”

Ellinor answered, “Nowhere, I just took a stroll and got some air”

“Oh, I thought you ditched me!”

Ellinor gave him a sidelong glance, “Mr. Rex, you’re a grown-up; you can take care of yourself without

me. If you want to leave, just go! You’re not needed here!”

Bartlett chuckled lightly, “No, we came together and we should leave together. That’s what I call seeing

things through!”

Theo squinted coldly as he watched Ellinor and Bartlett walk side by side. Just then, he received a call

from Collin.

“Mr. Blanchet, I’ve checked all the OB-GYN appointment records in all hospitals; Ms. Mendoza is

indeed,”
