The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 994

Patricia's eyes widened in disbelief. Was he risking his life for Ellinor? No way, something was fishy!

Seeing Patricia lost in her thoughts, Haillie nudged, "Patricia, why are you silent? You gotta help me out! If Theo really gets on our case, the Knotts family is done for!"

Snapping back, Patricia replied, "Haillie, it's not that I don't want to help, but I can't! Ugh!"

Haillie was puzzled. "Patricia, how can you not help? You're Theo's lifesaver, and he always listens to you!"

Patricia sighed heavily, a hint of sadness in her voice. "Haillie, you don't know what's been happening. Theo no longer sees me as his lifesaver; he won't listen to me anymore..."

Haillie was taken aback. "What? How's that possible? Everyone knows you risked your life to save Theo, even got left with infertility because of it. Does Theo deny all that? He's not like that!"

Patricia shed a tear. "It's Ellinor... She claimed in front of Theo that she was his real lifesaver, not me. Theo believed her and didn’t regard me anymore. And today, my mom and I were kicked out of the Howard family by my grandpa and sent to live in the countryside. All thanks to Ellinor! Because of her, I've lost everything! Haillie, I really want to help, but I can't. I'm sorry..."

As she spoke, she started crying again...

Haillie was both shocked and furious. "What? Ellinor managed to convince Theo she was his lifesaver. And how did she manage to get you, who's always been the apple of your family's eye, kicked out to the countryside? How the hell did she get that much power?"

Patricia's tone was tinged with irony. "If Ellinor can make my brother risk his life for her, what can't she do?"

Haillie paused for a moment, understanding Patricia's implication. She then seemed resolved and said, "Patricia, I know what to do! Just wait for my good news!"

With that, she hung up.

Patricia smirked, hoping Haillie would handle this more cleanly to avoid future trouble.

Xenia walked into her daughter's room, noticing her deep in thought by the window. She approached and asked, "Patri, what's on your mind? I've got some food sent up. Come have a bite!"

Patricia snapped out of her thoughts and turned to her mother. "Mom," she said meaningfully, "did you know my brother had a car accident yesterday?"
