The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1008

The duo arrived at the entrance of the Blanchet family's property. Ellinor paused and turned to Haillie, "Haillie, if you've got something to say, now's the time."

Haillie glanced around, hesitating, "But aren't there surveillance cameras here? The Blanchet family's system records audio, right?"

Ellinor chuckled, "Indeed, their system does record audio, but unless something goes wrong, nobody usually checks the recordings. So, no one will know what you said. Go ahead, Haillie."

Haillie looked troubled, "Even if no one checks the recordings, I still feel uneasy leaving a record. Some things are hard to talk about… We've come this far, Ellinor, a few more steps shouldn't hurt, right? There's an alley up ahead where the system can't pick up sound. Let's move over there and continue our chat."

Ellinor glanced at the camera, and the alley Haillie was pointing at. Not only was it out of audio range, but it was also a blind spot for the security cameras.

Haillie was deliberately leading her to a blind spot. Considering she didn't want Veronica to follow, Ellinor couldn't let her guard down.

Seeing Ellinor's hesitation, Haillie asked, "Are you worried I'm up to something, Ellinor?"

Ellinor replied, "Shouldn't I be?"

Haillie gave a bitter smile, "Ellinor, you're overthinking. Since you've told me Patricia's true colors, why would I still work for her? And if I wanted to do something to you, I wouldn't pick now. The Blanchet family’s elders and Veronica all know I'm here to see you. Veronica even saw you walk me out. Not only do I not dare to do anything to you, but I'm also worried that if anything happens to you, they'll blame me."

Ellinor thought for a moment, finding Haillie's words reasonable. She chuckled, "Fair enough, let's go then. A few more steps won't hurt."

With that, she followed Haillie to the alley's entrance but didn't go in, "Can we talk now?"
