Chapter 692
A maid who was hiding behind the kitchen fridge was dragged out by a servant of the Howard family.
“Spill it, what were you doing there? The servant hauled the maid in front of Balfour and dumped her on the floor.
The maid panicked and blurted out. “Mr. Howard I didn’t do anything!”
Balfour looked down at her with a scrutinizing and frosty gaze.
Another servant stepped in on his behalf. “You think you can pull the wool over Mr. Howard’s eyes? If you didn’t do anything, why were you hiding?”
The maid shrank back in fear, her voice trembling. “Because I was scared…”
After seeing the maid stutter, the servant was about to berate her again.
Balfour raised his hand, stopping the servant’s harsh questioning. He took a step forward and asked the maid himself, “What are you scared of?”
The maid, seemingly overwhelmed, shook her head frantically. “I saw it, I saw everything…”
Balfour squinted his eyes, “What did you see? Don’t worry, you’re safe with me.”
The maid looked up at Balfour’s handsome face and couldn’t help but blush.
No woman could resist the comfort of a handsome and charming man in her vulnerable moments.
Especially when the man is her employer and held all the power.
The maid calmed down a bit, “I just saw Ms. Mendoza kill Ms. Howard’s child! She was horrifying; she bashed the child’s head violently with a chisel.
After killing Ms. Howard’s child, she warned Ms. Howard to stay away from Mr. Blanchet, or she would be next!
I wanted to get help for Ms. Howard, but I was too scared, my legs were like jelly, I was afraid that Ms. Mendoza would kill me since I witnessed the crime, so I hid in fear. not daring to make a sound
Then you came rushing over! Thank God you came in time, or Ms. Howard would have been killed too!”
After hearing the maid’s words, Balfour glared at Ellinor in anger, wondering if she would show any remorse now that she had been accused.
However, Ellinor just frowned, seemingly annoyed.
Balfour was disappointed with Ellinor’s reaction, no longer expecting remorse from her, and turned his attention to Theo, who was still standing next to Ellinor.
“Now that the eyewitness has come forward, do you still believe this woman beside you?”
Theo remained calm, his large hand gripping Ellinor’s shoulder firmly. “This eyewitness is also from the Howard family, her testimony has no credibility.”
Balfour scoffed dismissively. “You think the Howard family would frame her for no reason?”
Theo responded impassively, “People’s intentions are hard to guess.”
Balfour retorted sarcastically, “If you really understand how unpredictable people can be, then you should be most wary of having Ms. Mendoza by your side. Don’t get played like a sucker.”
Theo’s face darkened, “Mind your own business!”
Balfour turned his unforgiving gaze back to Ellinor, “Ellinor, anything you want to say now?”
Ellinor remained calm, “Nothing to add, call the police!”
