Chapter 487
“Haillie, Ellinor came with Balfour because of work. It’s not what you’re thinking! Alright, you’ve had too much to drink. Let’s go to the balcony and get some fresh air to sober you up!”
Haillie looked a bit pissed off. She wanted to confront Ellinor but Patricia managed to calm her down. She shot Ellinor a dirty look before following Patricia to the balcony The evening breeze on the balcony was chilling
Haillie sobered up a bit but her resentment didn’t subside ‘Patricia, you shouldn’t have stopped me. I should’ve put Ellinor in her place!”
Patricia shook her head with understanding and patience. Haillie, you were too hot headed. Don’t forget it’s Aunt Bluna’s birthday party””
Haillie shivered as she realized this and instantly regretted her actions
She almost forgot that this party was for the elder of the Howard family, Aunt Bluna.
Aunt Bluna was a tough cookie, and causing a scene at her birthday party would be a surefire way to get on her bad side.
If that happened, not only would Haillie be kicked out on the spot, but she’d also lose Aurt Bluna’s support for her relationship with Balfour
“Patricia, thank god you stopped me. Otherwise, I would’ve pissed off Aunt Bluna, and that would’ve been a mess!’
“As long as you understand, Haillie’
Patricia actually didn’t want to intervene. She would’ve loved to see Ellinor get a piece of Haillie’s mind but only if she could watch from the sidelines without getting involved
But she was right there and if something had happened, Aunt Bluna would’ve blamed her too. She had a stake in this. So she couldn’t let Haillie lay a hand on Ellinor.
“Well, isn’t this Patricia? Long time no see, you’ve become even more stunning!”
A dangerous voice suddenly came from behind
Patricia turned around and saw a man in a plaid suit swaying a glass of red wine with a naughty smile on his face.
Patricia was taken aback for a moment before recognizing him. “York, it’s you”
This man was York Mayes. He was the son of Patricia’s mother’s relative. He was a notorious womanizer, gambler, and all around, troublemaker. A few years ago, he got sentenced for messing with a girl. He should’ve been released by now, but he seemed unchanged
After acknowledging Patricia, York’s gaze immediately landed on the dolled up Haillie
“You must be Patricia’s good friend, Haillie, right? Long time no see. You’ve changed a lot. You look better”
York’s gaze was uncomfortably intense. Haillie stepped back. If he wasn’t Patricia’s cousin, she’d have slapped him already.
Patricia, of course, noticed his inappropriate behavior. She quickly changed the subject, pointing in a certain direction in the banquet hall. “York, look over there! That beautiful girl is just your type, and she’s single!”
York’s gaze finally shifted from Haillie and followed where Patricia was pointing. His eyes lit up when he saw the ethereal beauty, Ellinor
