    “I’m not scared or anything I just don’t want to stir up unnecessary trouble and mess with Patricia and


    Mr. nchet’s rtionship.”


    Ellinor responded, ncing at Balfour’s handsome face in the rear view mirror.


    Balfour chuckled softly, “So you think just by showing up in front of Theo, you’ll shake things up for


    Patricia and her fiancé?’


    Staring at the passing scenery outside the window, Ellinor calmly said, “There might be a slight


    disturbance.”


    “Ms. Mendoza, where do you get the confidence to think you can match up with Patri?”


    Faced with his sarcasm, Ellinor stayed cool and cracked a smile.


    “Mr. Howard, it’s only natural that you think your beloved Ms. Howard is iparable. Just like, even


    though you’re amazing in my eyes, you still can’t beat the dog I’ve raised since it was a puppy. It’s the


    same logic!”


    The driver had to mp his mouth shut, afraid that he would burst outughing at Ms. Mendoza’s


    words.


    However, the next second, a chill ran down his spine as he felt Mr. Howard’s displeasure.


    He had been driving for Mr. Howard for over a decade and he had never seen any employee talk back


    to Mr. Howard like that


    Balfour stared at Ellinor in the rear view mirror, ‘Then tell me, in what way do you think you can


    compare to Patri?”


    Ellinor might seem young and naive, but her mind was incredibly mature. She never let others’ doubts,


    sarcasm, or mockery shake her confidence


    She exuded confidence, not the blind kind, but the kind that came with a clear understanding and


    affirmation of herself..


    It was the resilience she had honed through hardship, the fearlessness she had molded in adversity,


    and the indifference to others’ opinions and judgments that made her like this


    ‘I don’t have a privileged background like Ms. Howard, no powerful family, no doting rtives, and I’m


    not a carefully cultivated beauty like a greenhouse flower. The biggest difference between Ms. Howard


    and me is that she is a delicate flower under your protection, while I am a lone sprout growing wildly on


    a cliff.


    Ms. Howard is undoubtedly the favored child of fortune, born to rely on a robust tree like you, blessed


    with the suitable environment and fertile soil of the Howard family. However, my upbringing has made


    me learn to rely on myself to grow into a free that can support me because there’s no one for me to


    lean on forever.


    Throughout my life, I’ve weathered various storms, and no matter the circumstance, I’ve always been


    able to get by on my own experiences and abilities. Therefore, I believe that both Ms. Howard and I


    have our strengths, and neither of us is inferior to the other


    Balfour looked at the girl in the front seat through the rear-view mirror This was the first time he saw


    such a vibrant glow in a girl and felt the tenacity she radiatedContent is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    That powerful andposed vitality was indeed something Pathcked.


    However, Patri didn’t need that extra toughness. As long as he was there, Patri could easily enjoy all


    the best things in this world.


    Balfour didn’t argue with Ellinor anymore. He closed his eyes to rest, ‘I hope your self assessment is


    urate and you can indeed grow into an unyielding tree.” “Thanks for your kind words” Ellinor smiled.
