Chapter 784
âMr. Howard, we've got a situation!â
Byran was in the middle of doing his homework when Carlos rushed in, interrupting his train of
thought. Irritated, he said, âWhat's up now? Carlos, if you keep panicking like this, I'll slap you!"
Carlos looked innocent, âMr. Howard, there really is a situation. I just saw a guest arrive downstairs.
Dean and Alyssa are being super nice to herâ Byran was even more irritated, âSo what? We always
have guests. They're just old friends of my grandparents; there's nothing weird about that" Carlos
shook his head. âNo, itâs different this time. It's not an old friend of Dean and Alyssaâ, it's a young girl.
You know her toolâ
Byran frowned, "A young girl that I know? Who? Carlos, can you just tell me everything at once?â
Carlos said, âIt's that Ms. Mendoza who always gives you a hard time:
Byran immediately put down his pen, looking surprised, âEllinor?!â
Carlos nodded, âYes, Ellinor! Mr. Howard, don't you think it's weird? The Howards and the Blanchets
have been on bad terms for years. Why are Dean and Alyssa treating Ellinor like sheâs their savior?â
Byran wasn't listening anymore, his eyes were burning with rage, âEllinor dared come here?! Where is
she? I need to settle some old scores with her!"
Carlos replied, âDean just took her to the garden. Mr. Howard, what old scores do you have to settle
with Ellinor?"
Byran rolled up his sleeves determinedly, âYou don't need to know! Finish my homework for me; I've
got to step out for a bit"
Carlos looked troubled, âMr. Howard, I canât do your homework for you. If Balfour finds out, hell kick
me out!â
Byran said dismissively, âJust do it! If you don't tell, I won't tell, how would he know? Hurry up and
write it for me!â
Carlos shook his head in exasperation. He knew he shouldn't have told Mr. Howard the news.
The Howard familyâs garden was huge. Apart from the house in the middle, the rest of the area was
filled with various plants. It was very well maintained and looked absolutely beautiful.
Dean was leaning on a cane with the help of a servant, happily introducing to Ellinor which flowers he
planted and which ones were taken care of by his wife, Alyssa
Ellinor was listening to Dean's introduction while observing the environment of the Howard familyâs
home.
She didn't have much of an impression of the Howard familyâs home.
If her mother had taken her away from the Howard family when she was already five years old, she
should've been able to remember things from that age, but aside from a vague sense of familiarity, she
had no memory of this place.
Or perhaps she had almost no memories from before she was five.
As she was walking, she noticed a particularly stunning sea of flowers in front of her. The flowers were
a rare grayish-blue color and were incredibly beautiful.
Ellinor had never seen such flowers before. She was about to ask Dean what they were when she
turned around and saw that the old manâs face was slightly off, âGrandpa Dean, are you okay?"
Grandpa Dean stopped walking and rubbed his head, âI'm fine. I'm just really happy that you came to
see me today. I forgot to take my blood pressure medicine this morning.â
Hearing this, the servant immediately became nervous, âDean, how could you forget to take your
medicine? You absolutely can't forget that. I'll take you back to take it right now.â
Dean felt it would be inappropriate to leave a guest halfway through a tour, so he wanted to hold on a
little longer.
Ellinor saw what Dean was thinking and said, âGrandpa Dean, it's okay. Go back and take your
medicine first. I'll walk around by myself for a bit and come find you later.
