Chapter 314
Ellinor got Theo's drift.
âOh, Mr. Quinne was a senior from our university's law department. He is warmâ

She was just asking Haillie about the situation with Balfour, so she just got out of the police station.

Seeing Patricia approaching, Belindaâs smile disappeared instantly. She snorted, saying unhappily. âThe
Ellinor silently watched Patricia, then glanced at Theo's gentle expression, and looked away...
Balfour helplessly stood not far from a luxury car, waiting for his sister.
Patricia was so lucky. There was Balfour who loved her
