Chapter 709


    Chapter 709


    Tve been around the block and seen my fair share of people. You think I can’t tell a good girl from a


    bad one? You dare question Ellinor’s character?


    The reason I didn’t introduce her to you is because you don’t deserve her!”


    Balfour raised an eyebrow, feeling unimpressed “And why is that?”


    Dean looked at his grandson He didn’t spoil him like other grandparents Instead, he was rather


    disgruntled “I’m your grandpa, don’t you think I know what type of person you are? You might look all


    high and mighty, but you’re nothing more than a low life


    Even if I introduced a nice girl to you, you wouldn’t treat her right, you’d just mess things up.


    Introducing a good girl to a guy like you would be bloody criminal!


    But Halley is a goodd. He’s just a bit green when ites to love and too wrapped up in his music. If


    Ellinor ended up with him, she’d be well taken care of.

    What a shame that such a good girl got snatched up by Theol


    Balfour sipped his coffee, forcing a smile.


    Sure, he agreed with his grandpa’s scathing opinion of Theo, but he wasn’t too thrilled about the old


    man’s assessment of him either.


    What kind of grandpa talked about his grandson like that?


    However, Dean insisting on finding a girlfriend for Halley brought back some old memories.


    The Porter family and the Howard family go way back; they even had a marriage arrangement.


    Mr. Porter’s grandson had been engaged to Mr. Howard Senior’s granddaughter since they were kids.


    But the granddaughter that was part of the arrangement wasn’t Patricia, it was his long-lost sister, Pearl


    Howard.


    With Pearl missing, the marriage was put on hold. Some people thought about having Patricia fulfill the


    marriage contract.


    But it was no secret that Patricia had always been head over heels for Theo. Everyone knew it, and the


    Howard family chose not to bring it up anymore.


    Because of this, Dean always felt indebted to the Porter family. Now, with Mr. Ponter seriously ill and on


    his deathbed, Dean was in a rush to find a good girl for Halley so that Mr. Porter could pass away in


    peace.


    Dean was a picky man, he even found Patriciacking.


    The fact that Ellinor received praise from him and that he wanted to introduce her to the Porter family


    was intriguing.


    But seeing Theo’s face turn sour was pretty amusing.


    Meanwhile, outside the Howard family’s mansion, in a ck car.


    “Regrets?” Theo opened a bottle of water and handed it to Ellinor.


    Ellinor took the bottle, raising an eyebrow in confusion. “Regret what?”


    Theo opened another bottle for himself, taking a serious sip. “Didn’t you want to meet that talented


    singer and dancer? Aren’t you regretting not saying yes to Dean?”
