    Chapter 490


    York Mayes was leading Ellinor down the gallery on the second floor, nning to take her to a bigger


    room


    Ellinor stopped in her tracks, eyeing the painting hanging on the wall. It reminded her of her mother’s


    style


    Seeing her pause, York Mayes looked confused ‘Ms. Mendoza, is something up? Why the sudden


    halt?”


    Eyes still on the painting, Ellinor asked, “You’re a part of the Howard family, right? You must know the


    ins and outs of their business?”


    York Mayes chuckled. Wanting toe off as clever in front of this intriguingdy, he replied,


    ‘Absolutely! How could I not?’


    Ellinor decided to test him. I’ve heard that the current Mrs. Howard is McNeil Howard’s second wife. Is


    that true?”


    York Mayes knew the answer to that. Yup! McNeil Howard’s first wife is no longer with us. The current


    Mrs. Howard has a son and a daughter. She’s the apple of his eye”


    “I see” Ellinor continued probing “Did McNeil Howard’s first wife pass away from illness?”


    York Mayes let out a mockingugh ‘Rumor has it, she ran off with another man. No news since then.


    Given how long it’s been, I guess she might be six feet under now Hard to believe, huh? Even a man


    like McNeil Howard got his woman stolen.”


    Ellinor pressed on. Really? Who did she run off with?”


    York Mayes didn’t know the truth and didn’t dare make up stories about the Howard family. So he


    changed the subject. ‘Ms. Mendoza, why waste time on this nonsense? Let’s move on to the next room


    and chat about something more interesting”


    But Ellinor didn’t budge. Hold on, I have another question.”


    York Mayes was growing impatient as his mind filled with thoughts of romance. ‘Alright. What’s up?”


    “Did the Howard family have a child named Pearl Howard?”


    “Indeed! Mr McNeil Howard did have a daughter named Pearl. But word on the street is that she’s the


    love child of his first wife and some other man. Poor McNeil Howard


    yed daddy for years!”


    Ellinor’s eyes dimmed. She refused to believe that her mother could do such a thing “Was there


    evidence to support this?”


    York Mayes didn’t know and was uninterested in further discussion. “Ms. Mendoza, let’s move on!


    Enough with prying into other people’s business. We should focus on what’s between us


    Ellinor raised an eyebrow. “What’s between us? What are we supposed to discuss?”


    “What else could a man and a woman talk about? Come on in York Mayes was impatient. He pulled


    Ellinor into a room and locked the door.


    The room was spacious and well furnished. The most eye-catching feature was therge bed and


    attached bathroom.


    Seeing this, Ellinor frowned. “Mr. York Mayes, what are you up to?”


    York Mayes thought she was ying dumb. He found it amusing and said, “Why, we’re going to do


    what you enjoy darling! Strip down, and I’ll show you exactly what we’re going to do’


    Ellinor’s eyes shed with disdain. “Why should I undress?”


    York Mayes was getting frustrated. “Quit ying coy. I’ve been told that you know how to have a good


    time. Strip down ande serve me. Make me happy, and I’ll shower you with money”
