The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 72

Veronica pondered for a moment, then said, ‘Ellinor, It’s your graduation day. Aren’t we gonna celebrate?”

Ellinor yawned, “Nah, I don’t see what’s there to celebrate”

Veronica, however, got close to her, enthusiastically hooking her arm around Ellinor’s, “Ellinor, surviving college isn’t a piece of cake Let’s go celebrate! I know a mall that just got a whole bunch of limited edition stuff Wanna come with me?”

Ellinor glanced at Veronica’s hand on her arm, raised an eyebrow curiously, “So you want me to go shopping with you now?”

Veronica nodded eagerly. “Yes! We’ve got nothing better to do since we came home so early! Come on, Ellinor, let’s go!”

This friendliness was rare. If she could get along with the Blanchet family, it would save her a lot of trouble.

With that in mind, Ellinor smiled faintly, ‘Alright, let’s hit the mall.”

Veronica broke into a wide grin, then turned to Theo, “Theo, we girls are going shopping. You might wanna sit this one out.”

Theo was engrossed in some document, he replied coldly, “I don’t have the time.”

Veronica was secretly thrilled, “Great! Theo, just have the driver drop me and Ellinor at the mall!”

After the girls got out of the car, Theo rolled down the window, glanced at Ellinor, and said calmly, “Don’t stay out too late. Get back home early”

Ellinor nodded.

At the mall.

They hadn’t been to many shops when Veronica suddenly clutched her stomach, wincing in pain, “Ellinor, my stomach hurts need to use the restroom!”

Ellinor looked around for a restroom, but saw a “Under Maintenance” sign on the nearest one. She frowned, “This floor’s restroom out of order, let’s go upstairs. Hurry!”

Veronica shook her head, “I can’t make it upstairs! Ellinor, I bet there’s a working toilet in there. I’ll go check, you wait here!” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

With that, Veronica dashed into the restroom under maintenance.

Ellinor frowned in resignation, slowly followed, and waited outside. After a while with no sign of Veronica, she grew worried and decided to go in.

As soon as she went in, her vision went black!

Someone had put a bag over her head from behind, and then hit her in the back of the head. She collapsed unconscious!

A restroom door opened, and Veronica emerged, a triumphant grin on her face…

Ellinor, you’ve walked right into my trap this time!

At the Blanchet Hotel.

Suite 3201.

Ellinor lay unconscious on the king–size bed in the suite.

Veronica stood by the bed, arms crossed over her chest, looking down at the now–trapped Ellinor in a posture of victory.

“Make sure everything is clean and tidy. I don’t want to be dragged into this! Veronica reminded.

Morgan patted his chest confidently, “Mrs. Blanchet, don’t you worry. I’ve got everything under control. Nothing’s gonna go wrong!”

Veronica gave him a haughty look, “You’d better make sure everything goes smoothly!”

“I promise you’ll be pleased!” After promising confidently, Morgan turned to a young man standing by, “Did you hear that? Take good care of this lady. When the police con I don’t need to repeat what you need to say ”
