Ellinor looked up to see Marissa, slightly surprised and voiced weakly, “Granny? Why are you here…‘
Before Marissa could say anything. Veronica sauntered forward, hands on her hips, scolding. “Ellinor,
you still have the nerve to call her granny? We, the Blanchet family, won’t accept a woman like you
who’s been messing around!”
Byran also couldn’t resist a smug look, chiming in, “Ellinor, you’ve been caught red handed, stop
pretending!
Ellinor furrowed her brows
At this moment, she really didn’t have the energy to argue with them.
Bartlett quietly observed the intruders and the pale–faced Ellinor. He was a bit surprised by their
relationship, but he had a rough idea of what was going on.
After steadying Ellinor, he stood up and smiled, “Oh, it’s Marissa Blanchet. You didn’t send anyone to
notify me of your visit. If I knew you were coming, I would have personally welcomed you.”
Veronica interjected again, scoffing disdainfully, ‘Nonsense! If we had informed you, how could we have
caught you? Besides, my granny doesn’t need to be greeted by the likes of you!”
Bartlett’s smile didn’t faller. He simply glanced at Veronica and ignored her. He continued to calmly
explain to Marissa, “Marissa, Ellinor is not feeling well. She was just resting here. She wanted to go to
the bathroom but almost fell because she’s weak. I was simply helping her, and then you all walked in.”
Byran sneered sarcastically from the side, “Humph! Do you really think we’ll buy your story? Feeling
unwell? that’s just an excuse! A man and a woman alone together, nothing good can come of it!”
Bartlett looked at Byran, his smile not reaching his eyes, “Mr. Howard is here too? I don’t remember
inviting you?”
Remembering how he had snuck in, Byran coughed awkwardly, “Ahem! I’m here in place of my brother,
Balfour!”
Bartlett laughed lightly, “Oh? Is that so?”
At that moment, Haillie Knotts walked in, looking bewildered, “Byran, so you’re here. I’ve been looking
for you! Why did you call me so urgently to come here? What happened?”
When she received Byran’s call, Haillie was nearby having coffee with a friend. Hearing it was about
Ellinor’s affair, she rushed over to see the drama!
Byran pointed to Ellinor on the bed, “Haillie, look, caught in the act!”
Haillie looked at Ellinor, wrapped in a blanket on the bed, then at Bartlett standing nearby. Her face
showed surprise and disappointment, “Ellinor, how could you… Oh my god! I can’t believe you would
do such a thing!”
Ellinor gave her a look but didn’t say anything.
Her indisposition made her look quite bad, as if she was feeling guilty.
Haillie sighed in heartache, then went to stand by Marissa who hadn’t said a word. She reached out to
support her, comforting, “Marissa, don’t get too worked up. What’s done is done, we can’t change it.
We’ll just have to wait until Theo finds out and see how he handles it!
Manssa’s face was stern. She didn’t respond to Haillie’s words, avoided her support, and looked at
Ellinor doubtfully with her old but sharp eyes, “Ellinor, you tell me what happened. I just want to hear it
from you.”
Haillie’s face stiffened and she awkwardly withdrew her hand.
Ellinor was in severe pain and couldn’t help but sharply inhale.
She lifted her head and honestly said, “Granny, I just came to see the art exhibition today. Then I
suddenly felt unwell and rested here. Mr. Rex was just kindly helping me.”
Marissa softened her gaze as she saw Ellinor’s poor complexion, asking with concern, “Unwell? Ellinor,
what’s wrong?”
