Chapter 730
Veronica shot Ellinor an annoyed look and said to Patricia in a disgruntled tone. âPatricia, ignore this
psycho chick for now. Let's go. I'll take you to my room, where you can shower and change into some
fresh clothes. We'll deal with her laterâ
Patricia nodded, following Veronica upstairs. Halfway up, she turned her head, glaring at Ellinor with a
look of pure venom.
That look was clearly a declaration of war!
Ellinor responded with a smile, clearly not bothered by her, and turned to call over a couple of maids
to clean up the mess on the floor
Devin just happened to be coming out of the kitchen. He saw what had just happened and let out a
helpless sigh, asking Ellinor with concern, âEllinor, that meal isn't edible now, and you can't starve
yourself. I'll have the kitchen make you a sandwich just to tide you over, okay?"
Ellinor was indeed hungry, she nodded and said, âAlrigh!, keep it simple; just stick an egg in it"
Just as Devin was about to go instruct the kitchen, a servant came rushing in, âDevin, Mr. Howard is
here. He said he specifically came to see Ellinorâ
After hearing this, Devin looked surprised, âMr. Howard?"
The servant nodded, âYes, Mr. Howard."
Devin found it strange. The Howard and Blanchet families were always at odds; they usually kept their
distance even when there were no clashes.
Sure, Ms. Howard was an exception. She would visit because of her deep love for Mr. Blanchet.
But it was indeed rare for Mr. Howard himself to show up, and he even said he was here to visit
Ellinor?
Devin felt uneasy; he turned to Ellinor and asked, âEllinor, Mr. Howard said heâs here to see you. Do you
want to meet him?â
Ellinor gave a slight nod, âOkay, let him in
Devin signaled the servant who had informed them of Mr. Howard's arrival, instructing him to guide
Mr. Howard in.
Soon, the servant led Balfour in.
Ellinor sat on one side of the dining room, looking at Balfour with a smile, âMr. Howard, that was
quickâ
Balfour entered alone; his tall and upright figure was impressive.
However, his demeanor was not as calm as before, and his complicated look seemed somewhat
cautious, âI was just around the corner, so I came right over when I got the call
Ellinor nodded and smiled, âWe just had a spill in the living room that's being cleaned up, so we'll chat
here. I hope you don't mind, Mr. Howard?"
Balfour looked at her, his eyes full of self-blame. He shook his head, âNo, it doesn't matter where we
talkâ
Ellinor chuckled, âI thought someone like you would mind having a conversation in a dining room that
smells of food. But since you don't mind, please have a seat, Mr. Howard.
With that, she lazily lifted her hand as a gesture of politeness.
A waiter stepped forward, pulling out a dining chair for the guest opposite Ellinor.
Balfour didn't say anything, he slowly walked over and took a seat.
Before they could start their conversation, a waitress came out of the kitchen with a simple sandwich
and handed it to Ellinor.
