Chapter 500

The atmosphere suddenly got so tense that you could cut it with a knife. There was dead silence all

around

Was Mr Blanchet eyeballing Balfour’s secretary?

Theo’s gaze was cold and piercing hinting at some complex and dangerous undercurrents that sent

shivers down your spine, even as an onlooker

Aunt Bluna also noticed something was off about Theo’s gaze

Why was he eveing Balfour’s secretary like a kid in a candy store?

Wasn’t Theo satisfied with Patricia? How could he be eyeing another girl?

Men! They were never satisfied with what they had and always wanted more. But She had gotta admit,

his taste wasn’t half bad. That girl, Ellinor, was a real looker

Aunt Bluna wasn’t exactly thrilled about Theo’s arrival and was about to tell him to hit the road when a

servant who seemed to be looking for something walked up, saying “Mrs. Bluna, there you are! Mr.

Howard wants you to come quickly. He says he’s got something to ask you”

“What’s it about?” Mrs. Bluna asked.

The servant shook his head, “Mr. Howard senior didn’t say. He only told me it was urgent and to fetch

you right away!”

Mrs. Bluna gave a nod, apologized to the other guests, and followed the servant out.

This little interruption broke the uncomfortable silence and people started whispering amongst

themselves again.

“Why does Mr. Blanchet keep looking at that girl?”

“Do they know each other?”

“Ms. Howard is right next to him, but Mr. Blanchet barely glanced her way!”

“What’s going on?”

Patricia was anything but pleased when she saw Theo’s gaze fixed on Ellinor and heard the whispers

around her.

She reached out, affectionately tugging at Theo’s sleeve. Theo, you must be tired from your trip, don’t

you want to go rest?’

Theo replied emotionlessly, “No need. I’m leaving soon’

Patricia forced a smile, “Sure. Then, I’ll go with you”

Not wanting Patricia to go out with Theo so late, the usually silent Balfour stepped in, “Theo, why don’t

you stay and have a drink?”

Haillie also chimed in, “Yeah, Theo, stick around. Jonah Wyton and Kemp are here too!”

While saying this, Haillie purposefully blocked Ellinor from Theo’s sight.

“No, I’ve got things to do

With that, Theo headed for the door

As he passed Ellinor, he paused and gave her a cold glance.

But it was just a glance

He lowered his eyes and kept walking.

Seeing Theo ignore Ellinor, a smug smile crept onto Patricia’s face. She quickly followed him, “Theo,

wait for me; I’m coming with you!” And Patricia left with Theo

Ellinor finally relaxed. She had been overthinking

Theo, her former partner, had clearly moved on and held no grudges against her.

What could he possibly blame her for? Their partnership was over, hence why she left.

There was no debt between her and Thea.

Ellinor felt strange, why was she so nervous around him?

With everything settled, Haillie gave Ellinor a displeased look and snorted. It seemed that Theo no

longer saw Ellinor as important and didn’t want anything to do with her.

Haillie hesitated for a moment and then approached Balfour, “Balfour, do you have a moment? I’d like

to invite you to dance with me’

Without any expression, Balfour replied, “Haillie, could you go get Patricia back for me first? It’s late,

we can’t have her running around outside.”
