Chapter 764
Balfour was totally engrossed in the photos.
“Bartlett, were you guys taking pictures just now?”
Patricia’s voice suddenly came from behind Bartlett. Her voice was gentle and curious.
Bartlett was sitting on a single sofa, looking at the pictures he had just taken. Patricia had come downstairs and
happened to walk behind him, seeing the photos on his phone.
Turning his head to her, Bartlett smiled, “Oh, it’s you, Patricia! Yeah, we were taking pictures. Wanna join us for a
group shot?”
Patricia shook her head, “No, I didn’t put on any makeup today. I won’t look good in the pictures.”

Belinda looked at Patricia, stuck out her tongue, rolled her eyes, and muttered, “Yeah right, ‘no makeup. As if we
can’t tell her face is refined.”
Ellinor was sipping her juice, uninterested. She was used to Patricia’s pretentiousness.
Patricia heard Belinda’s murmur. She turned to look at Ellinor and Belinda and also noticed her brother Balfour
sitting there, “Oh, Balfour, you’re here too?” After seeing Patricia, who should have been at home at this time,
suddenly show up, Balfour became a bit stern, “When did you get here?”
Patricia came over and sat down naturally as usual, leaning affectionately against her brother, and sweetly said,
“Balfour, Baber was fussing about wanting to see Theo today. I called Theo, and he told me he was at Pearl Moon,
so I brought Baber over.”
Balfour didn’t spoil his sister like usual. Instead, he frowned slightly after hearing her words, “You brought Baber
too?”
Patricia was a bit scared by Balfour’s sternness. She quietly explained, “Baber wanted to see Theo. I couldn’t
persuade him, so I had to bring him out…”
“The kid was seriously hurt yesterday. Why would you bring him out at this late hour?*
“Balfour, Baber really wanted to see Theo. No matter what I said, he wouldn’t listen.”
Balfour now understood why Ellinor was sitting here alone and Theo had gone upstairs.
It was because of that headache–inducing Patricia!
He rubbed his brow helplessly, “Where’s Theo?”
Patricia replied, “Theo is still upstairs with Baber. I thought he might be thirsty, so I came down to get him a drink.”

As she said this, she picked up a bottle of soda from the table, Tm going to take this drink to Theo.”
Patricia got up to go upstairs. Before she left, she said to Ellinor, “Ellinor, I’m going upstairs. You guys chat. Make
yourself at home.”
Although her words were polite, her actions clearly showed that she was the hostess.
Ellinor smiled slightly. Before she could say anything, Belinda rolled her eyes and said impatiently,
“Ms. Howard, don’t worry; we won’t be shy here.
Yes, Pearl Moon is owned by the Howard family, but today Theo and Ellinor rented this place for the party.
To the Howard family, we are the guests, and guests are supposed to be treated like kings! As such esteemed
guests, why should we be shy around you?”
Patricia’s face turned a bit sour at Belinda’s words; even her usually innocent smile froze, Right, I was being extra.”
Belinda was Theo’s kin, and Theo valued her greatly. Therefore, Patricia didn’t want to fall out with Belinda, so she
didn’t say anything more and turned to
leave.
“Hold on.” Ellinor said.
