Chapter 703
Balfour was feeling like Patricia was a stranger to him at this moment. Not wanting to dwell on it any longer, he took
a deep breath. “Patri, I hope you weren’t lying
to me!”
Balfour didn’t probe any further. Patricia heaved a sigh of relief, although she still felt uneasy. It seemed like Balfour
was disappointed in her and no longer trusted her as much.
After such a long squabble, Balfour was also feeling knackered. He didn’t look at Patri anymore and turned to Theo
and Ellinor “You guys should go now! Luckily, Baber’s okay. Let’s call it a day!”

the culprit, and now you’re just gonna call it quits because you say so?”
Balfour frowned. “I just don’t want to continue this. It’s not that Ellinor is not a suspect! Theo, can’t you just give it a
rest?”
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Theo’s eyes. “Mr. Howard, I know what a nitpicker you are. If you were sure, you
wouldn’t let my wife off the hook so easily! You’re just trying to put an end to this because you know you’ve made a
mistake!”
Balfour’s face darkened, and his jaw clenched. “So, what do you want?”
Theo gently stroked Ellinor’s head, like a father protecting his child. “I want you to admit your mistake to my wife
and apologize!”
Balfour’s eyebrows knitted together, and he glanced at Ellinor “Theo, don’t push it!”
How could the eldest son of the Howard family apologize to this little girl in front of all the servants because of what
Theo said?
That was ridiculous!
Theo stared at him determinedly. “Balfour, if you consider yourself a man, you should apologize for your mistake!
Balfour’s face was turning awfully grim.
“What are you all arguing about?”
Suddenly, an old voice broke the tension in the kitchen.
Upon hearing the old man’s voice, all the servants in the Howard family became very respectful and quiet, not even
whispering to each other

The old man looked at the scene in the kitchen and frowned. “I only went out for a walk, and when I came back,
there was no one in the sitting room. What are you all doing in the kitchen?”
Ellinor recognized him at a glance. That old man was Balfour’s grandfather.
He was the blind old man she had run into at The Bund of Trent River before.
At that time, a car had blocked the blind lane, and the old man, in his rage, hit the car with his walking stick. The car
owner happened to come back and wanted to hit the old man.
She was passing by and helped the old man deal with the irresponsible car owner.
She remembered clearly that the old man was blind. How come it seemed like he had regained his sight now?
“Grandpa, you’re back!
