Chapter 416
When Ellinor opened the door, she saw Patricia and Byran standing there, one behind the other
The Howard family. What a pain in the ass!
“What do you want?”
She didn’t have the time or the patience to deal with these two troublemakers right now.
Patricia glanced at Ellinor, then peeked into the room behind her “Ellinor, I’m sorry I’ve thought it through I misunderstood you in the courtyard earlier I thought you wanted me to kneel and apologize, so I did. And you definitely didn’t mean to kick me. Maybe you were just lifting your foot to step and accidentally hit me Ellinor. I’m sorry I caused you to be misunderstood by Balfour and pushed into the water. I apologize to you. Can you forgive me?”
Ellinor watched Patricia’s pitiful performance, pulling the corner of her mouth indifferently, ‘Ms. Howard, just a friendly reminder, Theo isn’t in this room right now, so you don’t have to put on a show!“.
Patricia was taken aback, not quite believing her, and glanced into the room again.
Theo wasn’t here?
Her current attitude was indeed for Theo’s benefit.
Without Theo, there was no need for her to apologize to Ellinor.
Because she and Ellinor were pretty much at loggerheads, an apology wouldn’t make any difference.
However, with Byran standing beside her, she couldn’t treat Ellinor with her true attitude and feigned weakness again.
“Ellinor, don’t overthink it. I’m genuinely here to apologize to you. I’m sorry: please forgive me.
Ellinor knew Patricia’s true colors and wasn’t moved at all.
Patricia’s current attitude seemed sincere and weak, but in fact, she was pressuring and morally kidnapping her
It would make people think that even after Ms. Howard apologized like this, Ellinor, with a heart of stone, still wouldn’t forgive her. would make Ellinor look like the aggressor who refused to let go.
So, most people would choose to forgive under these circumstances to avoid being criticized,
Unfortunately, Patricia miscalculated.
Ellinor didn’t care about other people’s opinions and wouldn’t forgive Patricia just because of her pitiful act.
“Ms. Howard, don’t waste your superb acting skills on me. I’m not a fan of drama, let alone your tricks!”
Patricia looked hurt, as if she had been wronged, “Ellinor, I’m not acting. Why do you have to think of me like that? Do you really hate me that much?”
Hate might not be the right word, but repulsion definitely is!
Ellinor yawned, too lazy to bother with her anymore.
Once she engaged, it would give Patricia an opportunity to continue her act.
She didn’t have the energy to fend her off.
Just as Ellinor was about to close the door for some peace, Byran suddenly stepped forward with a plate of chicken wings, with his handsome face full of youthful vigor, and asked, “Ellinor, what happened in the courtyard just now? Balfour said you made Patricia kneel and even kicked her. What’s the deal?”
Patricia’s done and now it’s Byran’s turn?
Ellinor furrowed her brow, finding the Howard family utterly annoying
She yawned again, clearly irritated, “Well, Ms. Howard suddenly knelt before me, then suddenly fell down. That’s it. End of story!”
Ellinor kept it brief, not wanting to waste words and feeling it was pointless to explain further.
Those who believed her would believe her anyway, those who didn’t wouldn’t believe her no matter how much she explained.
