She immediately spun around, pointing at Ellinor and spat out, âItâs you! This must be your doing! That woman has to be a stand in you found!â Ellinor shrugged innocently. âMs Veronica, are you determined to slap the bad woman label on me today? Is that what will make you happy?â
Veronica snorted. âWhat do you mean âslap a label? You are a bad woman!â
SMACK!
Suddenly, a slap landed heavily on Veronicaâs face Marissa was fuming, the slap just now leaving her huffing and puffing âVeronicaâ Had enough yet? Kicked up a fuss at home, and now youâre at it again in the police station?
Ellinor is your sisterâinâlaw. Why do you keep insulting her repeatedly?â
Veronica, her hand on her slapped face, was in disbelief and crying.
âGranny, you hit me? Youâve never hit me before, and now youâre hitting me for Ellinor, who came into our family not long ago?â
When Veronica started crying. Marissaâs heart softened, but what her granddaughter did today was way over the line!
Marissa gritted her teeth and scolded sternly, â1 should have hit you long ago! If Iâd disciplined you earlier, I wouldnât have spoiled you to this exten!! Now apologize to Ellinor and try to get her forgiveness!â
âGranny! I did nothing wrong! Why should I apologize?â
Veronica, in an emotional meltdown, screamed, âEllinor is the bad woman! Everything I said is true! Itâs her! The woman at the hotel is Ellinor!â
Veronica, cursing and rushing towards Ellinor, furiously grabbed her by the throat, âEllinor, admit it!
Admit that you were a hostess at the Blanchet Hotell You shameless woman.â
Ellinor was shaken so much she couldnât speak.
The police officers in the station gathered around, âWhat are you doing? This is a police station. Stop it now!â
Marissa was about to faint, âVeronica, stop it nowâ
Theo, having finished his cigarette outside the room, walked in just in time to support his grandmother, then coldly looked at Veronica and ordered, âLet her go!â
Veronica instinctively shrank back, âBro, this woman is bad!â
Theoâs face darkened, âDonât make me repeat it!â
Veronica immediately let go of Ellinor.
Theo asked Collin to support his grandmother, walked forward, gently lifted Ellinorâs face, checked the red marks on her neck, and frowned. âAre you dumb? Donât you know how to dodge?â
Ellinor frowned and complained, âDude, thatâs classic victimâblaming! She attacked me. You donât blame her for attacking me, but you blame me for not dodging? Does your Blanchet family have any sense of justice at all?â
Theoâs tense expression suddenly relaxed. Amused by her words. He lightly pinched her face, âYouâre a tough cookie, arenât you?â
Ellinor grimaced, âHumph! My neck just got squeezed by your sister, and now youâre pinching my face again! Your Blanchet family really is unreasonable!â
Theo chuckled, his rough hand gently ruffling her hair, then he turned to look at Veronica, his voice icy, âYou, go home Seeing that her brother was furious, Veronica called out anxiously, âBro.â
But Theo didnât look at her anymore. He lowered his head to check the red marks on Ellinorâs neck, feeling quite unhappy, âDoes it hurt?â
Ellinor rolled her eyes, âNot as much as when you pinched my face!â
Theo smiled slightly. âNow you know it hurts. Next time, dodge earlier.â
Ellinor was speechless and decided to ignore him Seeing how her brother treated Ellinor: the tolerance and patience heâd never shown to other women, Veronica was stunned and glared at Ellinor even harder!
Ellinor was lucky this time, but she wouldnât let her off the hook next time!
Collin accompanied Marissa out, with Veronica unhappily trailing behind And just then, a fat middleâaged man was brought in by two police officers!
The fat man saw Veronica and ran straight towards her, grabbing her clothes with handcuffed hands, âMrs Blanchet! Itâs so good youâre here! Please save me! Ms Veronica Itâs Morgan!
Seeing Morgan at this time, Veronicaâs face turned pale, her eyes darting around, âWhat are you talking about? Youâve got the wrong person! Iâm not Mrs Blanchet. I donât know you at all!â
