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


    into the nchet 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 rtionship


    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 nce, 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 threeughing heartily at the camera.


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


    The woman’s features were strikingly simr 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 trantor wasn’t up to par, a lot of technical terms weren’t urately tranted and the


    client is very unhappy about this; they’ve already let the trantor 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 trantor 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 trantor, I can give it a shot!”
