The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 948

"I don't buy the fact that Ellinor is like what they say on the internet. Besides, what would she want from an old fart like me? Balfour once tried to thank her with a check for half a million for saving my life, and she didn't even take it!"

Alyssa also nodded in agreement with her husband. From their first meeting, she had a natural fondness for Ellinor. Maybe it was because Ellinor slightly reminded them of their missing granddaughter, Pearl.

All in all, they didn't peg Ellinor as a scheming kid.

Hearing Dean's words, Xenia frowned and shook her head, "You guys are too naive! If she had a bigger fish to fry, of course she wouldn't be interested in Balfour's measly half a million!"

Dean has always been a bit skeptical of his daughter-in-law's words. He frowned, "So what's this 'bigger fish' a young girl like her would be after?"

Xenia's face turned a little pale at Dean's words. She forced a smile, "It's not that I didn't want to interfere with Patri, but when it comes to matters of the heart, I can't control them! Patri has been spoiled by Balfour since she was a child, always getting what she wants. So, when she sets her sights on a man, she won't rest until she's got him! I wanted to talk to her, but I can't dictate her marriage!”

She continued, "But that being said, Patri really did save Mr. Blanchet, and it's because of his snakebite that she was left with a health issue. It's just that after all these years, she unknowingly recovered. Even she didn't realize it! Patri is the child you raised; you should know what kind of person she is. She might be stubborn, hell-bent on marrying Theo, but she never made up the facts. On the other hand, Ellinor, just with a few words, discredited all the good things Patri had done and made everyone believe her. Isn't that frightening?"
