Chapter 613
He wouldnt admit for a second that he was just bad at the game of Go
Einar followed Quinton to Ballour’s quest room
Upon entering the saw Patricia and Haille were also there
Patricia was sobbing in het wheelchair and Haillie was comforting her and offering her tissues
Haillie shot Ellinor a displeased look when she entered
Ellinor chat give a hoot about the two and turned her gaze to Balfour, who was lounging arrogantly on the sofa
He had a steaming cup of coffee in his hand and took a light sip
She approached and asked. ‘Mr Howard, you summoned me. What’s up?”
Balfour looked at her with his eyes slightly narrowed. “Did you push Patri and cause her injury?”
“No”
Ellinor denied without hesitation
Balfour asked again. “Did you just publicly expose Patri?”
Ellinor remained unfazed, “I just told the truth”
Balfour huffed. “Then, what’s the deal with you having my grandfather acknowledge you as his granddaughter?”
Ellinor answered “Old Mr. Bagley took a liking to me, I didn’t want to be rude, so I agreed
Balfour chuckled. “So, you were forced?”
Ellinor nodded, “Yes, I felt very compelled”
Balfours expression turned icy in an instant
Before, he admired Ellinor’s work ethic and had a certain inexplicable fondness for her, thinking she was different from those other cunning women.
But after seeing her so carefully aim at the Bagley family, he couldn’t believe she was innocent
Balfour stood up and splashed the hot coffee onto Ellinor’s face, “Ms Mendoza, you’re trying to fly high and nestle in someone else’s home I believe that with your skills. climbing the ladder is not a hassle. But within my realm, I won’t allow you to run wild!”
Caught by surprise. Ellinor instinctively closed her eyes to avoid getting coffee in them.
She let the hot coffee drip down her face, and after a moment, she slowly opened her eyes, “Mr. Howard, thank you for acknowledging my abilities, but I don’t have the intentions or actions you think”
Balfour looked at her. “You know whether you do or not, there’s no need to argue with me Now you’re not welcome here, you can leave.”
If it weren’t for Grandfather’s birthday dinner today, Ellinor would’ve loved to have a face–off with Balfour.
Ellinor took a deep breath, not wanting to engage with this man, and turned around to leave.
“Hold on”
Balfour called out to her again.
Ellinor stopped impatiently, “Anything else, Mr. Howard?”
Balfour emotionlessly informed her, “Don’t bother coming to work tomorrow, there’s no longer a place for you in the Howard Group”
Hearing this, Haillie’s mouth curled into a smug smile, and Patricia also smirked. Their goal was achieved.
Ellinor didnt say much She just offered a slight smile and calmly left the room.
Ellinor emerged completely drenched, looking a bit awkward.
Going back to play chess with old Mrs Bagley now seemed inappropriate. It might shock her and blow things out of proportion.
It was better to leave for now and visit her grandmother later.
She chose a less crowded route to exit the Bagley family home, not wanting to attract attention. But she didn’t expect to bump into Theo, who was coming towards her
