Chapter 537
Patricia was a bit rattled by Theo’s piercing gaze Using tears to cover up her guilt, her eyes reddened and tears started to pour
Just then, Balfour finished his call and walked in to find his usually untouchable sister being questioned by Theo in a cold manner that even brought her to tears.
Balfour was pissed, quickly stepping forward and pulling his sister into his arms.
“Theo, what are you implying? Are you suggesting Patricia would frame Ellinor on purpose?”
Theo remained stoic as he met Balfour’s gaze, “What I mean is, she might have made a mistake”
Patricia leaned against her brother, shaking her head with a mix of resolve and hurt, “No, I didn’t make a mistake. It was Ellinor who poured hot soup on Baber Theo, did Ellinor say something that made you distrust me?”
“Nothing was said.”
“Then why don’t you believe me? Do you think I’m the kind of person who would slander others on a whim? Theo, I’m not like that.”
Balfour couldn’t stand to see his sister crying so hard.
“Theo, are you questioning Patricia’s character? Just because Ellinor sidestepped responsibility with a few words, you start doubting someone who nearly lost her life to save yours?!”
Remembering Patricia’s past kindness, Theo’s expression softened, he looked at Patricia with a bit more leniency and guilt.
He stopped questioning Patricia and simply said, “I had a peek at the restaurant’s surveillance before leaving; the camera wasn’t broken; it was the surveillance system. Fix it, and we can pull up everything that happened and reveal the truth.”
Balfour agreed. “Sure! It would be great if we could fix the surveillance system. I’d like to see what really happened, whether Patricia is wrongfully accusing Ellinor
or not.”
Hearing that the surveillance could be fixed, Patricia froze. Her face went pale and her expression turned ugly.
Oh crap! Once the surveillance was fixed, wouldn’t everyone realize she was lying and that she was framing Ellinor?
Patricia didn’t expect that the broken surveillance system could be fixed.
No way! She couldn’t let that happen.
If they found out she was lying, not only would Theo despise her, but even her doting brother would be disappointed
Patricia felt incredibly uneasy. She quickly put on a magnanimous and forgiving face and sighed softly, “Let’s forget it, since Ellinor is gone, I think it’s time to let it go! I’m really tired, I don’t want to pursue this anymore, and I don’t want you and Theo to worry!”
Balfour was deeply moved to see his sister still think of others despit

Balfour was deeply moved to see his sister still think of others despite being wronged. He softly said.
“Patri, we can’t just let this slide! Baber is hurt, we can’t just let it go! If you’re tired, stay here and rest with Baber, leave this to me, don’t worry; I won’t let you and Baber be wronged for no reason!”
Patricia was very anxious when she saw that her brother was still insisting on pursuing the matter. She tugged at Balfour’s arm to persuade him again, “Bro, let’s drop it! I really don’t want to trouble everyone with this! To be honest, I should also be blamed for this! I insisted on inviting Ellinor to dinner, and because she dislikes me, she took her anger out on my child! It’s my fault, I’ll just keep my distance from Ellinor from now on!”
