When Ellinor opened the door, she saw Patricia and Byran standing there, one behind the other The Howard family. What a pain in the ass!
âWhat do you want?â
She didnât have the time or the patience to deal with these two troublemakers right now.
Patricia glanced at Ellinor, then peeked into the room behind her âEllinor, Iâm sorry Iâve thought it through I misunderstood you in the courtyard earlier I thought you wanted me to kneel and apologize, so I did. And you definitely didnât mean to kick me. Maybe you were just lifting your foot to step and accidentally hit me Ellinor. Iâm sorry I caused you to be misunderstood by Balfour and pushed into the water. I apologize to you. Can you forgive me?â
Ellinor watched Patriciaâs pitiful performance, pulling the corner of her mouth indifferently, âMs. Howard, just a friendly reminder, Theo isnât in this room right now, so you donât have to put on a show!â.
Patricia was taken aback, not quite believing her, and glanced into the room again.
Theo wasnât here?
Her current attitude was indeed for Theoâs benefit.
Without Theo, there was no need for her to apologize to Ellinor.
Because she and Ellinor were pretty much at loggerheads, an apology wouldnât make any difference.
However, with Byran standing beside her, she couldnât treat Ellinor with her true attitude and feigned weakness again.
âEllinor, donât overthink it. Iâm genuinely here to apologize to you. Iâm sorry: please forgive me.
Ellinor knew Patriciaâs true colors and wasnât moved at all.
Patriciaâs current attitude seemed sincere and weak, but in fact, she was pressuring and morally kidnapping her It would make people think that even after Ms. Howard apologized like this, Ellinor, with a heart of stone, still wouldnât forgive her. would make Ellinor look like the aggressor who refused to let go.
So, most people would choose to forgive under these circumstances to avoid being criticized, Unfortunately, Patricia miscalculated.
Ellinor didnât care about other peopleâs opinions and wouldnât forgive Patricia just because of her pitiful act.
âMs. Howard, donât waste your superb acting skills on me. Iâm not a fan of drama, let alone your tricks!â
Patricia looked hurt, as if she had been wronged, âEllinor, Iâm not acting. Why do you have to think of me like that? Do you really hate me that much?â
Hate might not be the right word, but repulsion definitely is!
Ellinor yawned, too lazy to bother with her anymore.
Once she engaged, it would give Patricia an opportunity to continue her act.
She didnât have the energy to fend her off.
Just as Ellinor was about to close the door for some peace, Byran suddenly stepped forward with a plate of chicken wings, with his handsome face full of youthful vigor, and asked, âEllinor, what happened in the courtyard just now? Balfour said you made Patricia kneel and even kicked her. Whatâs the deal?â
Patriciaâs done and now itâs Byranâs turn?
Ellinor furrowed her brow, finding the Howard family utterly annoying She yawned again, clearly irritated, âWell, Ms. Howard suddenly knelt before me, then suddenly fell down. Thatâs it. End of story!â
Ellinor kept it brief, not wanting to waste words and feeling it was pointless to explain further.
Those who believed her would believe her anyway, those who didnât wouldnât believe her no matter how much she explained.
