Chapter 1505
Byran, a man, had nothing to be ashamed of. He was just worried that his sister would feel uncomfortable.
However, it seemed that his concems were unnecessary. His sister, Ellinor, was not afraid of embarrassment at all.
So he followed Ellinor, heading to their neighbor’s room to knock on the door.
He himself didn’t dare knock, fearing that his brother would open the door and punch him. But with Ellinor there, he felt safer.
They arrived at the door of the adjacent suite. Hearing no sound from inside, Ellinor raised her hand to knock.
Meanwhile, in the suite across, Quinton, who was keeping an eye on the situation, was surprised to see Ms. Mendoza and the young master, Byran, about to knock on the door. Without time to think or ask Balfour for instructions, he immediately opened the door and pulled both Ellinor and Byran inside, then quickly shut the door.
Ellinor, still in the motion of knocking, was pulled inside. At first, she was on guard, ready to fight back. However, when she saw that it was Quinton, she relaxed and started to look puzzled.
Byran looked equally baffled, “Quinton, why are you here?” He asked.
Quinton, rubbing his forehead, looked at both of them. “Young master, why are you here? And with Ms. Mendoza?”
Byran frowned. “I saw my brother going to a hotel alone, so I followed him. Quinton, be honest. Is there something going on between him and Sophia? Are you here to keep watch for him?”
Quinton twitched his mouth, puzzled by his young master’s concerns.
“Do you think I could have an affair with Sophia?” Just as Byran was staring at Quinton, waiting for his answer, a cool voice from behind startled him. It was
Balfour.
Byran, feeling a chill down his spine, turned around awkwardly.
His brother was sitting on the couch, leisurely sipping a cup of coffee.
Wait…
Why was his brother here?
Shouldn’t he be in the other suite?
Balfour looked at his brother’s stunned face while elegantly holding his coffee cup and lifting an eyebrow sharply. “So, you came here to catch me red-handed? And you even brought Ellinor? Interesting.”
Byran, feeling a bit guilty, was sweating on his back. But he decided to voice his concerns anyway. “Brother, why did you meet Sophia in a hotel if nothing was going on?”
Balfour laughed dryly. “You’ve grown a lot in the past three years. You’re daring to question my plans?!”
Byran, not confident, frowned. “Brother, I’m just concerned about you. Sophia is not a good woman; you will surely get hurt if you get involved with her. Right,
Ellinor?”
Not daring to question his brother alone, Byran pulled Ellinor in.
However, Ellinor remained calm. She looked at Balfour and asked, “Mr. Howard, what’s going on?”
Balfour’s gaze softened when he looked at his sister. “Ellinor, come and sit next to me.”
Ellinor did as told and took a seat.
Balfour gestured to Quinton, who quickly understood his intention. He went to the kitchen to prepare a drink for Ellinor.
Quinton handed Ellinor a bottle of fresh juice, then went to give a bottle of soda to Byran, who was still standing by the door.
Ellinor held the juice but didn’t drink it. She looked at Balfour with probing eyes. “Mr. Howard, is this about the land deal? Did Sophia invite you here to give you a hard time?”
Balfour smiled and shook his head. “Don’t worry, the land deal is settled. The auction house finally decided to sell it to us at the original price before Sophia jacked up the price.”
