Ellinor, not in the mood to explain, retorted, “Mr. Howard, seems like you’re fine with Patricia marrying

into the Blanchet family, that’s had beef with yours before?” Balfour’s expression screamed

helplessness as he answered, “From a family perspective, I obviously wouldn’t want them together

because I’d be roasted by the elders. But Patricia is head over heels for Theo; she can’t go on without

him I can only do my best to protect her wishes and ensure her happiness. I won’t allow anybody to

threaten Patricia’s happiness and safety, and I won’t be polite about it either Ms. Mendoza, I hope you

get that.”

Ellinor looked at Balfour, a slight smile tugging at her lips. “Alright, I got it Patricia is lucky to have a

brother like you”

Balfour didn’t care if Ellinor’s praise was genuine or fake, he just hoped she understood to steer clear

of Theo and not mess with Patricia and Theo’s relationship

His love for Patricia included the feelings he had for missing Pearl Howard, two forms of affection

wrapped into one.

Not being able to protect his mother and Pearl fifteen years ago was a lifelong regret.

So he couldn’t stomach Patricia suffering any form of harm.

Especially Ellinor, who always seemed to hurt Patricia. He couldn’t stand her.

After Ellinor emerged from behind the bookshelf, her position was different than when she came in.

At that moment, she was standing by Balfour’s desk, and from that angle, she could see some of the

items on his desk.

She didn’t intend to peek at his stuff, but with a casual glance, she saw a photo in a frame on his desk.

She was instantly frozen.

The photo in the frame was of a beaming woman holding a toddler girl, with a boy around ten standing

beside them, all three laughing heartily at the camera.

The beautiful woman in the photo looked familiar, like…her mother.

The woman’s features were strikingly similar to Ellinor’s memory of her mother.

In her dreams and memories, the fuzzy shadow of her mother finally became clear.

Ellinor’s heart raced and her eyes turned red.

Balfour noticed something was off, he shot Ellinor a warning look, then followed her gaze to the photo

frame on his desk. He furrowed his brows and turned his most precious photo around, away from her

sight.

“Ms. Mendoza, you may leave now! Quinton, show our guest out!”

“Yes!”

As Quinton entered in response, he gave Ellinor a look, then reported an urgent matter to Balfour, “Mr.

Howard, there’s a problem with our client in Arabia.”

“What’s the problem?” Balfour looked up seriously

“The previous translator wasn’t up to par, a lot of technical terms weren’t accurately translated and the

client is very unhappy about this; they’ve already let the translator go. saying they don’t want to see him

again.”

Balfour knitted his brows. The mineral cooperation with Arabia was very important.

“Then find another professional translator for the client!”

The problem that bothered Quinton was exactly this

Tve already looked through the talent pool of Arabic professionals! No one who could get here quickly

meets our standards. And those who do aren’t in Greenhaven, they can’t get here quickly. Now that

things are so messy, the clients are pissed and are pushing to leave immediately.”

Balfour’s brows were knitted tightly, this was indeed a thorny problem, and a rare trace of anxiety

appeared on his usually calm face.

Ellinor raised an eyebrow and said, “If you can’t find a suitable translator, I can give it a shot!”
