The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 1315

Chapter 1315

Maybe the Blanchet family had the media in their back pocket, keeping Mr. Blanchet’s mishap under wraps.

Belinda still had tears streaming down her face as she spoke. “He must’ve been set up! Why else would he be at that abandoned factory on the outskirts of town?”

Jacob asked, “Did Mr. Blanchet go alone?”

Belinda choked up. “He brought his trusty assistant and the family chauffeur.”

“What about the other two who went with him? Were they rescued?”

Belinda shook her head. “They’re still missing.”

Jacob frowned. As much as he felt for his girlfriend’s loss, he was lost himself when it came to the complex squabbles among the rich and powerful.

Belinda wasn’t really looking for Jacob to solve anything; she just needed someone to vent to.

She continued, “Home’s a total mess; my parents told me to keep it hush-hush, but I’m really upset. He was always so good to me. He may seem stern, but he’d always give me whatever I wanted.”

Jacob patted his girlfriend’s shoulder, unable to say much more than a helpless sigh. “Belinda, I feel you, but I don’t know how to comfort you. All I can say is, take it easy.”

Belinda wiped her tears. “I’m okay. At least I can let it all out and talk to you. But Ellinor’s not so lucky; she doesn’t even know yet. When I first found out yesterday, I wanted to call her, but Mr. Larios stopped me. He said Ellinor’s about to give birth, and hearing such bad news might affect her health. It could even trigger premature labor. That would be a disaster!”

Jacob was surprised, wondering why Mr. Larios was there with his girlfriend. But he didn’t push it, simply offering some reassurance. “Didn’t Mr. Blanchet and Ellinor break up? And I recall that Ellinor didn’t want to forgive him. So, she might be upset, but it shouldn’t hit her too hard. Don’t worry too much, Belinda.”

Belinda shook her head. “You don’t get it; they had a spat, but we all know they still care for each other deeply. They just have some unresolved issues.”
