Chapter 704

Upon seeing her grandpa return, Patricia raced towards him, wiping away the tears from her eyes in distress

Dean Howard took a look at the teary-eyed Patri, furrowing his brows, “Why are you crying again? You’re always

complaining about not feeling well or crying over minor issues. Your grandma and I are much older than you, but

we aren’t this fragile”

Patncia fell silent.

She was expecting comfort from her grandpa, but instead, she got a scolding Patricia looked embarrassed

Growing up, she was pampered at home. Her parents and brothers all treated her like a treasure. However, in front

of her grandparents, she felt a bit inferior compared to Balfour and Byran Howard.

So she always felt that her grandparents favored boys.

“Grandpa, I didn’t cry on purpose, it’s because someone caused a commotion at home today”

“Grandpa, it was just a small matter earlier, it’s all sorted now. You don’t have to worry about it” Balfour interrupted

Patricia, giving her a stern look. He then turned Dean, “Grandpa, you must be tired from your trip; let them help

you upstairs to rest.”

Dean looked at Balfour, clearly not pleased, and huffed, “I think you’ve overly pampered Patri! She’s so fragile now

that any small problem makes her cry, even a gust of wind could shatter her!”

Dean’s words made Balfour frown. He began to wonder if he had spoiled Patri too much over the years.

Seeing that nothing much was happening in the kitchen, Dean didn’t care to investigate further. He signaled his

attendant to help him upstairs to rest.

As Dean left, the people in the kitchen dispersed.

Ellinor yawned sleepily. “Theo, it’s late, let’s go home and sleep”

Theo looked down at her as his heart ached, “Just like that?”

Ellinor shrugged nonchalantly after recognizing that Theo was referring to her being falsely accused by the Howard

family, “Let it be, you can’t wake a person that’s pretending to be asleep.”

She was referring to Balfour.

Being a smart man, he knew that Patricia might be at fault, yet he chose to protect her and hide the truth to end

the matter

Balfour, who was escorting Dean out of the kitchen, paused and turned back, squinting at Theo and Ellinor

He surely caught Ellinor’s sarcastic remark. Balfour’s face darkened, and his eyes revealed a hint of annoyance, but

he couldn’t react with Dean still around.

Meanwhile, Patricia, still in the kitchen, was glaring at Theo and Ellinor. Seeing the man she loved talk to another

woman so gently made jealousy bubble up inside her like sulfuric acid corroding her from within.

Had all her meticulous planning today been for nothing?

Why! Why could Ellinor always escape trouble? It was infuriating!

Ellinor didn’t want to dwell on it, but Theo wasn’t about to let Balfour off so easily. Some things were intolerable to

him. The Howard family’s false accusations and humiliation of her had happened more than once.

they weren’t taught a lesson, they might never realize the gravity of their actions.

However, Theo didn’t want to waste time at the Howard family’s place. Considering she was tired and sleepy, he

decided to take her home to rest. The issue at hand. could wait for another time to make the Howard family pay.

Theo replied, “Alright, let’s go home.”

Theo gripped her hand tightly, leading her slowly towards the door.

They’d just left the kitchen when suddenly a cane came swinging at them.

The cane was clearly aimed at Ellinor!

Theo reacted swiftly, grabbing the cane and shielding Ellinor behind him.

To his surprise, it was Dean!

Theo frowned, “Dean, what’s the deal?”

Balfour looked just as surprised, “Grandpa?”
