Chapter 821
Ellinor cracked a slight smile but didn’t stand up. She just quietly picked up a glass of water from the exquisite
tableware on the table and took a sip.
“What the hell are you doing? I told you to leave! You dare drink the water on the table? How do you even call
yourself a teacher? Where are your manners? Did you finish helping my son with his homework? Do you just do as
you please? Listen! If you don’t leave right now, I’ll fire your
As she said this, Mrs. Howard went over to grab Ellinor’s arm, planning to yank her up from the chair.
“Xenia! Who do you think you’re talking to?!”
Mrs. Howard was taken aback, and she turned her head to look.
Balfour was there helping Dean, and Patricia was helping Alyssa
The one who had just called her name was Dean.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMrs. Howard answered Dean’s question, explaining, “Dad, there’s a stranger here who just sat down; I was about to
ask her to leave!”
After hearing this, Dean and Alyssa frowned.
Balfour, who was helping his grandpa on the side, also looked displeased.
Xenia felt a strange tension, but she had no idea what was going on.
Patricia frowned unhappily, looking troubled as she said, “Mom? What are you doing? Let go of Ellinor right now;
she saved Grandpa’s life!”
What?
Xenia was shocked. She looked incredulously at Ellinor, whom she was still holding onto, “She is…”
She suddenly remembered this teacher’s last name. So this was Ellinor!
Ellinor was indeed tricky. The first time they met, Ellinor pretended to be a teacher and set a trap for her. No
wonder Patri was helpless against her.
Xenia quickly forced a smile, scrambling for an excuse, “Oh! I’m so sorry! I didn’t know she was the one who saved
Dad’s life; I thought she was Byran’s teacher.”
After Balfour helped his grandpa to his seat, he walked over to Ellinor and asked gently, “Why aren’t you saying
anything? Did she scare you?”
Usually, Ellinor would shake her head and say it was okay.
But this woman was the third party who intervened in her parents’ marriage. If she was lenient with this woman,
she would be letting her mother down.
So, Ellinor lowered her eyes and nodded in a frightened manner, “Mr. Howard, I was just a little thirsty and wanted
to drink some water. I don’t know why this lady came over so aggressively and pulled me, saying that I’m not
qualified to sit here.
Playing the innocent victim was not just something Patricia and her mother could do. She just didn’t bother to use
such tricks normally.

Balfour was already filled with guilt towards his long-lost sister; seeing her wronged made him feel anguished.
He glared and said to his stepmother, “Xenia, it’s your fault for scaring the guest; you should apologize!”
Mrs. Howard was stunned.
What?!
She had already apologized; wasn’t that enough?
And Balfour’s attitude towards her was ridiculous. He actually spoke to her, an elder, using a commanding tone in
front of so many people!
After helping Alyssa sit down, Patricia immediately came over to defend her mother, “Balfour, mom didn’t do it on
purpose; she already explained to Ellinor, didn’t she? I think Ellinor isn’t the nit-picking type, she wouldn’t expect an
elder to apologize to her. Right, Ellinor?”
Ellinor just gave Patricia a glance, completely ignoring her words.
Balfour was not moved at all, “No matter who it is, if they scared our important guest, they need to apologize!”
Patricia’s face also turned very ugly, and she felt extremely embarrassed. Why wouldn’t Balfour even listen to her?
He wasn’t like this before!
