Chapter 812
Patricia didn’t give up, and she pleaded again, “Quinton, can you let me in for a bit? I just want to chat with Ellinor, and then I’ll be out. My brother won’t know. Even if he did, I won’t let him blame you?
Quinton remained unmoved, “Ms. Howard, I’m really sorry, but I can’t go against your brother’s orders. Maybe you should go spend some time with your
kid.”
Patricia was fuming at his response.
To put it nicely, Quinton was a subordinate of her brother, but to put it bluntly, he was just an employee of the Howard family. How dare he stop her?
Patricia hadn’t achieved her goal of getting Balfour to act against Ellinor, so she was already in a bad mood, and now with Quinton’s attitude, she lost her temper. She gritted her teeth, dropped the nice act, and glared at Quinton, “Move, I’m going in!”
“Ms. Howard?” Quinton was taken aback. He always remembered Patricia as gentle and understanding, but he had never seen this side of her and was a bit taken aback.
Just then, the door to the room opened from the inside, and Ellinor stepped halfway out.
After seeing the door open, Patricia quickly put on a fake smile, “Ellinor, did you come to open the door for me? Quinton just wouldn’t let me in to see you!”
Ellinor lazily glanced at Patricia, ignored her and turned to Quinton, “Quinton.”
Quinton still blocked Patricia, slightly turning his body. “Ms. Mendoza, can I assist you with anything?”
Ellinor yawned, “I’d like some water.”
Quinton respectfully responded, “Sure, I’ll get it right away.”
Ellinor nodded, “Add a fresh slice of lemon.”
“Absolutely! Ms. Mendoza, someone will be here soon to take care of the broken glass in the room. Please be careful.”
Ellinor retreated back into the room and closed the door.
As Patricia watched Ellinor close the door, her eyes widened in annoyance, and she reached out to rush past Quinton, “Ellinor…”
In the end, she didn’t make it past Quinton, and she was cut off by the sharp sound of the door closing.
Patricia clenched her fists tightly. Her mood was extremely sour.
This was her house, yet she was stopped at the door by her own employee. What the hell?
Was it not enough for that woman to have Theo? Did she want to have a place in the Howard family as well? She was too much!
Quinton still stood in front of the door. He called the butler Fred, instructing him to get water for Ms. Mendoza and to clean up the broken glass in the
room
Seeing that Ellinor was comfortably resting in Pearl’s room, Patricia said, “Quinton, let me in to keep Ellinor company. She must be bored alone.”
Quinton shook his head, “Ms. Howard, as you just saw, Ms. Mendoza doesn’t need your company right now. Let’s let our guest rest.”
Patricia frowned unhappily. “Quinton, why are you only concerned about Ellinor’s needs and not listening to me?”
Quinton replied, “Mr. Howard said that Ms. Mendoza saved Dean’s life, so she should receive the best treatment from our family.”
“Keep favoring outsiders! You can’t distinguish between primary and secondary. One day I’ll get my brother to fire you!”
Unable to control her emotions, Patricia glared at Quinton and stormed off in a huff.
