Chapter 578
“Yup, I did it mysell. Byran nodded, nervously asking “Balfour, did I get it right this time?” But Balfour slammed the paper on the table, “I told you to step up your game, not cheat!” Startled, Byran instinctively stepped back and innocently replied, “Balfour, I didn’t cheal!”
“You couldn’t answer a single question just recently, and now after a short break, you can answer a bunch?” Balfour looked at him disappointed, “Who are you trying to
fool
How could he possibly believe that this little guy did it himself?!
At first, Byran not only got every question wrong, but his answers were also way off the mark. One look and he’d know he had no clue about the basics. There was no point in correcting his mistakes
But now, this corrected paper was almost 80% correct With this kid’s brainpower, there was no way he could have done it.
Feeling Balfour’s doubt, Byran knew he must have gotten a lot right, so he quickly explained.
*Balfour, I really did it myself. I could do it because Ellinor taught me a super useful formula I understood it, and then I used the formula to find the answers! If you don’t believe me, I can do another test paper for you to see.”
Ellinor taught him?
Balfour frowned, suspiciously asking. “Why would she tutor you?”
Byran answered truthfully. “She didn’t want to at first; I asked her to. I heard she aced her studies at Creston University, so I thought she may know some study tricks and asked her to teach me how to improve quickly.”
Balfour was silent for a minute and his frown deepened, “Stay away from her in the future!”
Baffled, Byran asked, “Why? I think she’s really nice and she explains things so simply.”
Balfour sneered, “What do you know about judging people? What’s her relationship with you? Why would she tutor you for free? You’re not a kid anymore you should know not to trust people so easily!”
“Oh, but if she’s not good, why do you keep her in the company?”
Balfour was speechless for a moment, “Don’t ask too many questions! Have Quinton take you home to study. Remember to prepare well for your test next week!”
Byran pouted, “Balfour, my bank card”
Balfour looked serious, “Don’t mention your bank card until you pass your test.”
“Oh, got it” Byran sighed sadly, grabbed his work, and went to find Quinton.
After Byran left, Balfour looked down at the paper in his hand, his brow still furrowed. It was impressive that Ellinor managed to improve Byran’s grades in such a short time. Why would she tutor Byran? If she really didn’t intend to marry into the Howard family, what was her real motive? What was she hiding? What was she plotting? What was her real goal?
With her smarts, she could be successful anywhere. Why come here for the high salary offered by the Howard Group?
Balfour couldn’t figure it out and felt a bit tired. He rubbed his temples.
Whenever he felt worn out, he would think of his mother and sister. He reached out and touched the photo on his desk.
Lately, he had a stronger feeling than ever that his mother and sister were still alive
Once, he had sent people to look for their remains with a glimmer of hope. But now, he felt as if they were right beside him and silently watching him.
The next day in the afternoon.
After arranging the execution of the sales plan, Ellinor leaned back in her chair, picked up her phone, and checked the time
With only ten minutes left before quitting time, she dialed Byran’s number.
