Chapter 574

Byran, looking a tad uneasy, said, “I was really tired from doing my homework this morning so I went

out for a walk to give my brain a bit of rest

“Tired from doing homework?

Balfour, as if he heard a joke that wasn’t funny, smirked and looked at him sternly, “You didn’t even get

one question right and you have the audacity to let your brain rest? If your brain rests anymore, it might

just stop working altogether. What’s the difference between that and not having a brain at all?”

With his head hanging low in embarrassment, Byran stuttered

Balfour, with a look of disappointment, stared at Byran, “Go back and do your homework right now By

the time I get back, you should at least get two questions right. Or else, your bank card being

suspended will become the least of your worries!”

“Oh, got it Byran turned around, looking pretty mortified He didn’t even dare sneak a glance at Ellinor

and quickly took off.

After Byran left, Ellinor saw that Balfour was still sitting at her desk, showing no signs of leaving

“Mr. Howard, would you like some coffee? She said as she walked in, smiling.

Balfour looked at her with a serious and detached expression, “Ellinor, what exactly are you trying to

do?”

Ellinor raised an eyebrow. “Mr. Howard, all I did was ask if you wanted some coffee What else could I

possibly da?”

Balfour gave her a contemptuous look, “Ms Mendoza, you’re clearly just looking for opportunities right

now. Your main goal must be to target someone of value. Even Byran, who’s still in high school, isn’t

spared. You’re crossing a line. Let me remind you, don’t waste your energy on that boy. Even if you

manage to make that dumb kid fall for you without my consent, you’re not getting into the Howard

family”

Ellinor laughed. “Mr. Howard, you and Patricia truly are two peas in a pod. You both view me as

someone desperate to find a man to elevate my status. Let me just clarify, I came to the Howard Group

to work. Even if I had other thoughts, it wouldn’t be about marrying into the Howard family So, Mr.

Howard, you can rest easy. I’m not interested in you, and even less so in your brother! Even if one day

you begged me to become part of the Howard family, I wouldn’t agree!”

Beg her to join the Howard family?

Balfour thought her delusions of grandeur were not only arrogant but also laughable. Beg her? That

would never happen!

Without a word, he stared at Ellinor’s face for a moment, his gaze slowly drifting down to her belly, his

eyes cold and unflinching.

“Ellinor, there are things I haven’t explicitly said, but that doesn’t mean I’m not aware. Things will

eventually come to light. I hope you know your capabilities and do what you’re supposed to Don’t make

me step in and help you”

Ellinor was taken aback, not fully understanding Balfour’s words, but she could clearly feel his

murderous gaze coldly fixed on her stomach, which made her extremely uncomfortable

“Mr. Howard, your words are too profound. I need to ponder over it.”

“Ms. Mendoza, you’re smart. I believe you’ll find the right answer soon. It would be best not to

disappoint me”

With that, Balfour gracefully stood up, not intending to stay in her office any longer.

As he walked past Ellinor, Balfour added. “You were absent without leave today, so you won’t be

receiving today’s wages.”

Ellinor fell silent

First, she was dragged out by Byran to help him buy a gift, and now her wages were docked by Balfour.

She was at a loss for words

It was clear that she couldn’t peacefully coexist with the Howard family and its members.
