I originally thought she was a decent person, so I respected her like a big sister But she kept crossing the line and always tried to snatch what we cared about the most Even with my good temper, I canât stand being pushed around like this! When youâre enduring the unendurable, itâs time to stop enduring Haillie nodded in total agreement, standing on the same side as Patricia, âPatricia, what should we do now? We canât let old Mr. Bagley really consider Ellinor as his granddaughter Patricia said to Haillie, âHaillie, I really donât know what to do Iâm afraid we canât beat Ellinor, youâve seen how tough she is Haillie looked frustrated. âBut we canât let her do whatever she wants!â
Patricia said thoughtfully. âHaillie, Iâm actually more worried about youâ
Haillie was puzzled, âWorned about me?â
Patricia looked worried, âYeah, because I think the fact that Grandpa took Ellinor as his granddaughter today will affect you quite a lot You know, my relationship with Theo has been very stable since we had Baber. Theo is no longer interested in Ellinor, so even if Ellinor gets the support of the Bagley family, it doesnt make any difference to Theo.
When Ellinor realized she couldnât attract Theo, she shifted her target.
Haillie, I know you have deep feelings for my brother, so Iâm worried Didnât you notice? Ellinorâs current target is my brother. She did everything she could to get a job at the Howard Group just to get close to my brother, and now sheâs successfully become the granddaughter of the Bagley family.
Once she makes my grandparents happy, if one day they decide to marry Ellinor off to my brother, youâll be out of the game.
And when it comes to my brotherâs marriage, my parents will respect my grandparentsâ wishes.â
Patriciaâs analysis made perfect sense, making Haillie anxious when she heard it, âWhat? How could that happen? Ellinor is not fit to be engaged to Balfour!â
Patricia sighed helplessly. âHaillie, no matter what happens, youâre the best choice in my mind to be Balfourâs wife. But if my grandparents intervene and stand up for Ellinor, I wonât be able to speak for you in front of Balfour, I wonât be able to help youâ
Her biggest wish in life was to marry Balfour, and she always believed that with Patriciaâs help, she could succeed.
But now that Ellinor suddenly stepped in and tried to compete with her for him, she became her biggest threat.
Under Patriciaâs guidance, Haillieâs sense of crisis increased, her eyes became fierce, and she clenched her fists.
âPatricia, you donât need to worry about me, I can handle Ellinor!â
Patricia pretended to stop her, âHaillie, donât be recklessâ
Haillie gritted her teeth, âEven if Iâm reckless, itâs because she forced me! How could she dare to have intentions for Balfour? I will never allow it!â
âWho has intentions for me?â
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Balfour came back after finishing his work. He walked in slowly with a relaxed and leisurely tone.
Haillie and Patricia were taken aback and quickly adjusted their expressions when they saw him come in.
âWhat were you two talking about? Why do you both look so off?â Balfour asked calmly. He walked gracefully towards Patricia and asked gently, âPatricia, how are your feeling? Is your foot getting better?â
