Chapter 593
Patricia, full of resentment, stubbornly struggled in Balfour’s arms, nearly bursting into tears “No! Balfour, I’m fine I need to perform! I’ve told Grandpa that I’ve prepared a special gift for him. If I don’t go on stage, he’ll be so disappointed Balfour, you know how long I’ve been preparing this gift”
Balfour frowned, “You need to behave! III explain what happened to Grandpa for you. Nothing is more important than your health right now. stop making a fuss!”
Patricia cried, “Balfour, no Ive been preparing for so long that I don’t want to give up now. Balfour, let me go, let me perform, I’m really fine
Balfour, holding the restless Patricia, was barely able to move due to her struggle. He simply couldn’t get through to her.
Haillie, watching this scene, was both worried about Patricia’s injury and feeling a headache for Balfour.
The more she thought, the angrier she became, and she pushed Ellinor hard, sending her stumbling back several steps.
“Ellinor! Look at what you’ve done to Patricia. You ruined all her hard work! I’d like to see how you’re going to own up!”
Ellinor steadied herself and brushed off where Haillie had touched, “Haillie, be respectful with your words and actions. I won’t accept baseless accusations, nor will I take
blame that I don’t deserve.”
Haillie, enraged, tried to push her again, but this time Ellinor calmly dodged.
Haillie missed and almost fell flat on her face
“How dare you dodge! Ellinor, Patricia was clearly pushed by you and that’s how she got injured. You’ve caused her to be unable to perform and you still have the herve to act so confidently!”
Balfour’s handsome eyes were coldly fixed on Ellinor, his gaze was icy and filled with complex anger. Yet he did not say anything and focused on his sister’s injury.
Ellinor noticed Balfour’s angry gaze and looked at Patricia in Balfour’s arms, who stubbornly refused to get her injury treated. She found it ridiculous.
Others may not see it, but she could see clearly that Patricia was merely putting on an act to gain Balfour’s sympathy and to make him angry at her.
“I didn’t push Ms. Howard If you don’t believe me, just call the police! I’ll cooperate fully with the investigation, but I won’t accept baseless accusations.”
Haillie sneered, “No evidence? Ellinor, don’t think we can’t take action just because there’s no surveillance here! I can testify: the police will accept my statement! You want us to call the police? Fine, wait and see, I’m calling them now!”
Ellinor waited quietly, without any fear.
Patricia in Balfour’s arms reached out to stop her, “Haillie, don’t call the police. I think Ellinor might not have done it on purpose. I don’t want to create a scene at Grandpa’s birthday party Haillie, let it go, put away your phone”
Haillie knew Patricia was right. It was indeed inappropriate to call the police at the birthday party. But she couldn’t just let Ellinor get away with it.
With a look of grievance but determination, Patricia said, “Haillie, come and persuade Balfour to let me go. I still need to perform; it’s not too late”
Balfour frowned, holding his injured sister even tighter, not wanting her to move recklessly, “Patricia!”
Seeing her insist on going on stage, Haillie, like Balfour, was worried about her injury.
Suddenly, an idea popped into Haillie’s mind. She had a brilliant ideal
So, Haillie pointed at Ellinor again, “Ellinor, Patricia’s injury is entirely your fault! Now she can’t perform; if you can help her out of this predicament, her good intentions.
won’t be wasted”
Ellinor raised an eyebrow, curiously asking. “Help her solve the problem? How could I help?”
