The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 997

Chapter 997

Ellinor glanced at the old couple from the Howard family, feeling their affection, then remembered the

dissatisfaction she had heard about her mom when she first arrived at, her heart filled with sarcasm and

indifference.

If they knew she was the kid of Marlinie, whom they disliked, their attitudes would change, right?

Ellinor coolly withdrew her hand, and while smiling, she said, “Well, thanks for believing in me.”

Their so-called “punishment’ for Xenia and Patricia was just sending them to a country house.

Was that punishment?

To her, it was more like a vacation!

The house had everything they needed; they could enjoy delicious food and fine wine, only the long-term stay might

be a bit lonely.

Compared to the way the Howard family punished her mom, this light punishment was nothing, right?

Ellinor’s lips held a polite smile, but her eyes were cold, “By the way, I want to discuss something with you.”

Alyssa spoke gently, “Just tell us what it is. If Grandpa Dean and I can do it, we’ll definitely satisfy you!”

Dean echoed, “Yes, Ellinor, just name it!”

Ellinor kept smiling, “I didn’t come to you because Mrs. Howard and Ms. Howard slandered me, and I just want to

discuss something with you.” Dean and Alyssa exchanged looks, not knowing what Ellinor wanted to discuss. They

could only sense that despite her politeness, she seemed distant.

Alyssa said, “Okay, Ellinor, what is it that you want to discuss with us?”

Ellinor spoke indifferently, “Ms. Howard had previously claimed to be the lifesaver of Mr. Blanchet and falsely

claimed that she became infertile because of saving Mr. Blanchet, making him feel guilty.”

Although Dean wasn’t there at the time, he also heard about it and felt ashamed of his granddaughter’s behavior.

“Uh, we know about that. Ellinor, do you want Patri to apologize or compensate you in some way?”

Ellinor shook her head, “No, we don’t need her apology or compensation. But previously, Ms. Howard used the

excuse of her infertility and her love for children to persuade Mr. Blanchet to adopt a child from abroad with her,

and they named him Baber.

Later, everyone found out that Ms. Howard was not infertile, and she could still have her own children.

As far as I know, the child wasn’t well taken care of by Ms. Howard, often getting injured and sick. I also heard that

Ms. Howard became very indifferent to him once she realized the child was no longer useful to her.

So, I was thinking, if Ms. Howard doesn’t like the child and doesn’t want to take responsibility for him, can we let Mr.

Blanchet take the child? After all, Mr. Blanchet is also one of the child’s legal guardians.”

She had promised Baber that she would help him, and she intended to keep her word.

Baber reminded her of her helpless self when she was a child…

However, when Ellinor stated what she wanted to discuss, Dean, Alyssa, and McNeil all looked at her with surprise

and disbelief.
