Chapter 1341 âTheo, everyone thought you died in that blast, but I never bought it! I knew you wouldnât check out on us so easily. My gut feeling was right! Iâm over the moon to see you alive and kicking again.âTheo gave her a slight nod. âYeah, sorry to have you worried.â Sophia suddenly seemed a bit down. âTheo, about Ellinorâ¦â Theo started. âSheâ¦â âBro, it looks like Ellinorâs gone missing!â Veronica, who had just settled Marissa into a police station chair, realized that Ellinor was still missing when Sophia mentioned her, so she retraced her steps to tell him. Sophia put on a worried face. âTheo, Ellinorâs pregnant, and now sheâs nowhere to be found. If anything happened to herâ¦â âIt seems like Miss Sophia was kinda looking forward to some bad news, huh?â Ellinorâs calm voice echoed within the police station walls. Both Sophia and Veronica snapped their heads towards the interrogation room door, only to see Ellinor walking out. Upon seeing her, Theo immediately moved towards her, naturally reaching out to support her. Veronica beamed. Sophiaâs face was a bit off. âEllinor? You⦠youâre back too! Brilliant!â Ellinor, not pushing Theo away, put her hand on his forearm, looked at Sophia, and raised an eyebrow. âYou really think thatâs brilliant?â Sophia nodded. âYes! Itâs fabulous that both you and Theo are okay. We can all breathe a sigh of relief.â Ellinor smiled. âWhy do I get the feeling that youâre not too thrilled? Is it because your plan of taking me to the blast site so those goons could nab me and kill me didnât pan out?â Veronica frowned at Sophia. âSo youâre the one who took Ellinor to the blast site? And when I called, asking about her, you played dumb?â
Sophiaâs face stiffened a bit. âVeronica, I donât know what sheâs talking about! I donât know why Ellinor would say that. Itâs been a while since I last saw her!â Sophia glared at Ellinor resentfully. âEllinor, Iâm really glad you made it back. But why are you framing me? When did I ever take you to the blast site? I wouldnât dare go there!â Ellinor wasnât surprised that Sophia was maintaining her poker face. She chuckled. âWhy would I have any reason to frame you?â Sophia frowned and said, âEllinor, I know youâve never had a soft spot for me, maybe because of the marriage certificate Theo and I have. But Iâve explained that our marriage was just a way for me to help him; thereâs nothing more. Youâre misunderstanding us! However, you canât just make false accusations about things Iâve never done.
You canât pin baseless charges on me!â Baseless? Ellinor found her act hilarious. âMiss Sophia, Iâd like to ask. Did you make those leaflets and toss them into the Howard familyâs yard so Iâd learn about Theoâs incident and put myself in harmâs way, ultimately even harming my baby? Did you also spread rumors claiming Marissa and Putnam made a secret will in the dead of night, leaving all the Blanchet Corporation assets to my unborn child? Were you trying to make me the new target of those goons?
You helped me escape the hospital and led me to the ruins, where you were planning to have those goons take me away, hurt me, or make me lose my baby to eliminate potential threats, right? You thought I wouldnât make it, so now you canât deal with seeing me and my baby safe and sound, can you?â
