Ellinor gave Patricia a light shove. Patricia reacted as if sheâd been pushed with a lot of force, staggering back and almost falling over Patricia was trying to provoke Ellinor into lashing out, hoping to convince people that Ellinor was the one who had hurt the child Just as Patricia was about to fall, someone caught her, preventing her from hitting the ground She thought it was Theo who had caught her and felt a surge of happiness, only to find out it was her brother, Balfour Balfour helped her to her feet and protectively held her, then glared at Ellinor, saying, âLetâs see if you dare push her again.â
Ellinor replied, âI didnât push her, I just moved her hand off meâ
Balfour frowned, âI saw it, and you still deny it?â
Ellinor thought âWhat did he see? Is he just imagining things?â
When she found out that it wasnât Theo who had caught her, Patricia felt a bit disappointed, but she still nestled into her brotherâs arms, tearfully saying, âBro, youâre finally here Baberâs face is ruined.â
Balfour coldly looked at Ellinor and asked, âWhat did the child do to upset you? How could you treat a child who doesnât understand things this way?!â
Ellinor answered calmly, âMr. Howard, I didnât do what Patricia claims I did.â
Balfour sneered, âYou didnât do it? Can anyone vouch for you?â
Ellinor said, âThen call the cops!â
She thought that, at that time, only she and Patricia were present. The waiter would definitely avoid responsibility, they wouldnât own up to anything.
Balfour felt disgusted by Ellinorâs defiant and unrepentant attitude.
While gently patting his sisterâs back to comfort her, he glared at Ellinor, thinking about how to handle her next.
At this point, Bartlett intervened, âBalfour, I think there might be a misunderstanding. Ellinor has no reason to hurt Baber, it doesnât benefit her. There are definitely cameras in the restaurant, just send someone to check the footage.â
Balfour said, âIâve already sent someone to check it. The restaurantâs camera broke last month and still havenât been repaired, nothing can be found.â
Upon hearing this, Patricia cried even harder, âBro, the camera was broken! Ellinor must have known it was broken, thatâs why she dared to hurt Baber!â
Balfour frowned and comforted her, âPatricia, donât worry, I wonât let Baber suffer in vain, she will pay for this.â
Ellinor stood there and found Balfourâs accusatory gaze a bit ironic.
Having worked at the Howard Group for a few days, Ellinor had gotten to know Balfour.
Balfour was extremely astute and calculated in his work and social interactions, one could even say he was a bit cunning. But when it came to his sister, he seemed to lose all rationality.
His obsession with his sister was simply indescribable!
Balfour didnât question Ellinor further, knowing she wouldnât admit to anything. He turned to a man who had just walked out of the emergency room. âTheo, donât you have something to say?â
Theo had just arranged for the childâs hospital treatment. He looked at Balfour and then said expressionlessly, âEllinor, come with me.â
