Chapter 575
But it was okay, she could put up with it for the sake of her mother’s investigation.
Tomorrow, she was going to meet her maternal grandparents. She was hoping to find out some stuff about the past there. Stuff that could bring her closer to the truth.
At the office door, Balfour suddenly stopped, turned around, and said, “Also, I’ve thought about it, and we can go ahead with the sales plan you made this morning Start getting things ready”
Ellinor snapped back to reality and put on a professional smile. “Sure thing. Mr Howard”
Balfour didn’t respond and just walked out the door
Ellinor was left alone in the office
She sat down at her desk, absently touching her flat stomach.
The things Balfour said earlier. It was like he somehow knew she was pregnant and was hinting that she should get an abortion.
Did Patricia say something to Balfour this morning?
If so, Patricia must have told Balfour about her possible pregnancy.
“Ellinor!”
Just as Ellinor was getting started on the sales plan, Byran barged in again.
But this time, he brought his homework with him.
Having been interrupted, Ellinor frowned and looked at him “What brings you back here?”
Byran slumped down in a chair, throwing his homework onto the desk with a disgruntled look on his face. “I didn’t get a single question right. My brother kicked me out of
his office!”
Ellinor took one of his mock exam papers and scanned it with a frown.
Not only was the handwriting terrible, but every answer was also wrong.
“Mr. Howard, what have you been doing in school all these years?”
Byran scoffed and lifted his chin. “School is boring and class is even more boring. I can’t help but fall asleep when the teachers start talking. And I don’t even want to go to school! I want to be a pro gamer. I don’t need the stuff they teach in school!”
Ellinor raised an eyebrow, looking at him disapprovingly. “Byran, the Howard family might be loaded, but no matter how much money you have, your share will still be finite Whether you want to take over the family business or pursue your dream of being a pro gamer, you’ll need knowledge and wisdom. Having a lot of skills and knowledge is what’s important!”
Byran looked at her dumbstruck, seeming to have understood but unwilling to admit it. He frowned, “Ellinor, are you lecturing me?”
Ellinor gave a soft laugh, then turned her attention back to her computer screen, continuing her work. “I’m not in a position to lecture you. I’m just not pleased with your attitude towards your studies.”
“Hmph, you’re amazing! Aren’t you a top student? If you’re so capable, then teach me!”
