    “I don’t buy the fact that Ellinor is like what they say on the inte. Besides, what would she want from


    an old fart like me? Balfour once tried to thank her with a check for half a million for saving my life, and


    she didn’t even take it!”


    Alyssa also nodded in agreement with her husband. From their first meeting, she had a natural


    fondness for Ellinor. Maybe it was because Ellinor slightly reminded them of their missing


    granddaughter, Pearl.


    All in all, they didn’t peg Ellinor as a scheming kid.


    Hearing Dean’s words, Xenia frowned and shook her head, “You guys are too naive! If she had a


    bigger fish to fry, of course she wouldn’t be interested in Balfour’s measly half a million!”


    Dean has always been a bit skeptical of his daughter–inw’s words. He frowned, “So what’s this


    bigger fish’ a young girl like her would be after?”


    Xenia looked worried and sighed, “You guys didn’t go to the hospital the day Byran was admitted, but


    you must’ve heard about what happened, right? Ellinor denied that Patri was Mr. nchet’s lifesaver


    just to break off Patri’s connection with him! And Mr. nchet bought Ellinor’s story hook, line, and


    sinker, thinking Patri had been lying to him all these years.”


    Hearing that, Dean and Alyssa looked at each other.


    Dean frowned and said, “We did hear about that, but isn’t it true that Patri made up a lie about being


    infertile just to get Mr. nchet tomit to her? What she did was wrong She’s been lying to him for


    years, isn’t that enough to shame our Howard family? Besides, our family has never supported her


    marriage with the nchets. She never listened. You, as Patri’s mother, knew about our conflict with


    the nchets but didn’t do anything. Now you’re trying to pin the me on Ellinor?”


    Dean’s views were still lucid and his arguments sound, despite his old age.


    Xenia’s face turned a little pale at Dean’s words. She forced a smile, “It’s not that I didn’t want to


    interfere with Patri, but when ites to matters of the heart, I can’t control them! Patri has been


    spoiled by Balfour since she was a child, always getting what she wants. So, when she sets her sights


    on a man, she won’t rest until she’s got him! I wanted to talk to her, but I can’t dictate her marriage!”


    She continued, “But that being said, Patri really did save Mr. nchet, and it’s because of his snakebite


    that she was left with a health issue. It’s just that after all these years, she unknowingly recovered.


    Even she didn’t realize it! Patri is the child you raised; you should know what kind of person she is. She


    might be stubborn, hell–bent on marrying Theo, but she never made up the facts. On the other hand,


    Ellinor, just with a few words, discredited all the good things Patri had done and made everyone believe


    her. Isn’t that frightening?”
