Patricia was upset, but she kept a cool head. âDonât worry about me, Iâm totally fine! As for Ellinor, I donât think she meant it letâs just drop itâ
Byran nodded without a doubt, âYeah! I also think she didnât mean it, there must have been some sort of misunderstanding Iâll ask her later to find out!â
Unbelievable!
Byran was blindly trusting Ellinort Did Ellinor give him some kind of magic potion or something?
Balfour scowled his voice laced with sarcasm, âYou seen to have a lot of faith in Ellinor? What has she done for you?â
Feeling the pressure from Balfourâs glare, Byran spoke up. âShe didnât do anything for me, but she helped me out a few times without asking for any credit. So I think sheâs a good girlâ
Balfourâs eyes glittered coldly. âThatâs it? Youâre saying Patricia is accusing Ellinor for no reason?â
Byran shook his head, insisting Thatâs not what I mean! I just think thereâs some sort of misunderstanding. Ellinor would never bully Patricia, sheâs just not that type of person!â
Byran rarely dared to stand up to Balfour, who was even stricter than his father. But today, for Ellinor, he found the courage to argue. He just didnât like the way Balfour talked about Ellinor The squabble between Balfour and Byran caught the attention of the others âAre they fighting? What happened?â
âMs. Howard seems to be crying in the middle!â
âI thought Byran was terrified of Balfour. Why is he acting so tough today?â
âWho knows whatâs going on? They were fine just now, why are they at each otherâs throats?â
Balfour stared at Byran thoughtfully for some time with a complicated gaze.
Since childhood, Byran had always acted like a mouse in front of a cat when he saw Balfour.
But now, for Ellinor, he actually showed some backbone.
Though it was misguided backbone Since he was siding with outsiders over his own family.
Not wanting to embarrass Byran in front of everyone, Balfour gave him a way out, âWhether this was a misunderstanding or not, stay away from Ellinor in the future and avoid her!â
Byran frowned, stubbornly saying. âSheâs my friend, I canât avoid her⦠Iâm sorry, but I canât listen to you this time!â
Balfour was pissed, âYou ungrateful bastard!â
So, he dared to defy Balfour for Ellinor!
Byran took a deep breath, mustering up his courage again, âDonât forget, Ellinor helped Grandpa before. She deserves the Howard familyâs gratitude Isnât it a bit ungrateful of you to treat her this way?â
âYou!â
