Chapter 549

At this point, Patricia’s face was kinda frozen and her expression was a bit off. She never expected

Ellinor to spot a hole in her conversation with the waiter, Gavin. “Mr. Howard, just take another look.

When your sister was chatting with Gavin, they clearly had some hand to hand contact.”

Ellinor rewound the video by a good ten seconds and played it back in slow motion.

“Look, their hand movements are pretty telling Ms. Howard took something out of her pocket and

slipped it into Gavin’s hand on the sly

Mr. Howard, do you reckon two total strangers would need to exchange items in secret after a few

words of small talk?”

At this point, Ellinor’s tone was laced with sarcasm, but she wasn’t over the top. She was simply giving

Balfour a taste of his own medicine for his previous coldness towards her

Balfour didn’t say a word. After watching the two videos Ellinor had pulled up, his expression gradually

turned serious.

Then he stood up, looking deeply at his beloved sister, his eyes growing complex.

“Patri, did you know this waiter before?”

Although Patricia was feeling a bit guilty, she put on her best innocent face, fluttering her bright eyes

and shaking her head, “I…I didn’t know him before”

Balfour asked sternly. “So, what were you two talking about? What did you sneak him? Tell me the

truth!”

Patricia was really spooked by her brother’s unusual harshness and loud voice. She was extremely

nervous and afraid of losing his trust. She knew her brother hated lies more than anything.

Patricia put on a pitiful face and her voice choked up. “I…I was just ordering from the waiter, I didn’t say

anything…”

Balfour frowned, clearly unsatisfied with his sister’s explanation.

Ellinor chuckled at the side, “What sort of habit is this, Ms. Howard? Ordering food at the restroom

door? That’s a bit too unique, huh? And you were at it for five or six minutes? I wonder what you

actually ordered:

Patricia’s face was visibly strained, but she didn’t show any signs of panic. She quickly composed

herself and answered in an innocent and pitiful tone. “Ellinor, could you please stop making fun of me?

I saw you vomiting painfully in the restroom and knew your stomach was upset. So when I saw the

waiter outside, I asked him if there was any light and stomach-friendly food, so I could add a few more

dishes you’d like”

Ellinor laughed it off, raising an eyebrow, “So, what did you order? I didn’t see any new dishes on the

table.”

“L..actually didn’t order anything. The waiter told us we’d already ordered plenty and advised us not to

waste food. So I didn’t actually place an order”

Ellinor smirked, “Oh, so you chatted with the waiter for a few minutes and didn’t order a single dish? Mr.

Howard, what’s your take on this?”

Balfour’s face darkened, his disappointment was evident. He didn’t answer Ellinor’s question but

sternly asked Patricia, “Patri, what exactly did you hand to the

waiter?”
