The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 911

"Ellinor, you have so much dirty laundry back in the sticks. You hurt so many people, and now you're here, living all high and mighty as Mrs. Blanchet! I regret ever raising you!"

Arnold got out of the passenger side of the sports car; his temper was still as fiery as ever, ready to chastise before understanding the situation.

Tracy Mendoza also hopped out of the car, her eyes filled with schadenfreude.

Upon seeing Arnold and Tracy, Ellinor remained unperturbed, "What are you on about? What dirty laundry do you think I have? You guys made a special trip to confront me?"

Arnold, fuming, pointed at Ellinor's face, "Don't you know what you've done? I should have dealt with you ages ago and saved myself the shame. You ungrateful woman!"

Her brother had given her a look before he went into the room with their grandfather, a look that said he was worried about Ellinor. So here she was.
