Chapter 585
Today, old Mrs. Bagley mistook Ellinor for their long–lost daughter as soon as she saw her. Thus, old Mr. Bagley got the idea for Ellinor to become his granddaughter. Luckily, she was sharp enough to interrupt the old man before he could even open his mouth, not giving Ellinor a chance to accept.
It was ridiculous! If Ellinor had the backing of the Bagley family, even if she was just temporarily playing the part of the Bagley family’s granddaughter, it would elevate her social status and make her more eligible to compete with her for Theo.
How could she let Ellinor surpass her?!
Absolutely not!
Ellinor responded to Patricia’s words calmly, “I heard that it’s Mr. Howard’s grandfather’s birthday today, so I came here after work.”
Patricia’s heart was filled with dark thoughts, but her face was all smiles. She didn’t care whether Ellinor was willing or not, and she directly grabbed her arm.
“Really! I really appreciate you coming over for my grandpa’s birthday!‘ Patricia said.
*Ms. Howard, you’re being too polite, it’s my duty.” Ellinor’s face was calm as usual. She was just trying to pull her arm away, but Patricia held her tightly
Patricia would never let go easily and give Ellinor a chance to talk to old Mr. Bagley.
She stood in front of Ellinor, turned her head, and sweetly said to old Mr. Bagley, “Grandpa, you must be tired, go sit down and rest! In a bit, you’ll be able to see the birthday present I’ve prepared for you. You and Grandma will love it!”
Old Mr. Bagley’s gaze became heavy. He coldly glanced at Patricia, not accepting her enthusiasm.
Because he was interrupted by Patricia, he didn’t continue speaking and signaled the servant to help him go to the front to sit down.
Patricia still didn’t let go of Ellinor’s arm even after watching the old Mr. Bagley slowly walk away.
At this time, Byran came over curiously and asked, “Sis, what gift did you prepare for Grandpa? Why so secretive?”
Seeing that her grandpa had left and didn’t mention the adoption of a granddaughter again, Patricia was pleased with herself and smiled at Byran, “Byran, don’t be impatient. You’ll know in a bit!”
Byran frowned, “What is it? I want to know now!”
Patricia winked at Byran, “You must behave, my gift isn’t something for boys to see. But girls can take a sneak peek!”
Patricia turned her face and sweetly looked at Ellinor, “Ellinor, let me show you the birthday present I prepared for grandpa!”
Ellinor knew that Patricia was up to something again.
She really didn’t have time to deal with this drama queen today, so she forcefully pushed Patricia’s hand away. After freeing her arm, she waved dismissively, “I’m sorry, Ms. Howard, I don’t have time now.”
However, Patricia came forward again and even started to act coquettishly. “Ellinor, just have a look. Before my grandparents see the gift, I want to hear your opinion first!”
