The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1817

Before Ellinor could say anything, Arnold cut them off. "Shut up! Both of you! Are you itching for another beating?"

Tracy and her daughter immediately shrank back, remaining silent.

Ellinor was now a member of the Blanchet family. She was a force to be reckoned with.

Arnold spoke to Ellinor with a touch more respect. "Ellinor, what brings you back here? Missing your old man?"

Hearing Arnold speak made her feel sick, and she coolly replied, "Mr. Arnold, watch your manners. I had some business here, but after seeing your family in this state, I guess it's not necessary anymore."

Sheila couldn't help but interject. "Dad, see! I knew she came back just to gloat!"

Arnold was, of course, unhappy. He got beaten because of Ellinor, but he couldn’t provoke her further and remained silent.

Originally, Ellinor came back for revenge on behalf of her mother. But after seeing them battered and bruised, she decided not to add insult to injury. It was enough.

Losing interest in the spectacle, Ellinor turned on her heel and walked away.

While leaving the Mendoza household, she didn't hear a peep from the family. Of course, she knew that once she was gone, Tracy and her daughter would undoubtedly badmouth her.

Whatever. She couldn't care less. This family, even if she left them alone, wouldn't lead a good life. Their greed would eventually lead to their downfall.

After leaving the Mendoza house, Ellinor prepared to return to Chase and Belinda's wedding reception. They were her close friends, and she wouldn't miss the rest of the celebration for any other reason.

While walking towards her car, Ellinor suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. After whipping her head around, she saw no threat. She only saw a man walking away with a helium balloon in his hand.
