Byran frowned. He wasn’t really happy with his mom and sister pushing him to inherit the family business. He
couldn’t care less about the Howard family
fortune!
He also wasn’t a fan of his mom always trying to second-guess his brother’s intentions. Sure, his brother could be
tough on him, and yeah, he did kind of scare him, but he never doubted that his brother meant well.
His mom was right. He and Balfour weren’t exactly womb-mates, but ever since he was born, it was Balfour who
had been looking out for him, teaching him to talk and learn.
Balfour might not have spoiled him rotten, but no matter how tough he was, Balfour never did him wrong.

lecture him about not studying, and not long after, his right-hand man, Quinton, would show up with the gear.
He knew very well that Quinton wouldn’t be sneaking him those gadgets without orders from Balfour.
In recent years, Balfour even started teaching him some odds and ends about running the company, but he was
just too stubborn to learn and didn’t pay enough attention.
“Mom, if you keep dissing Balfour like that, I’m gonna get pissed.” Byran stated firmly.
“Byran, I just wish you could be as sensible as your sister!”
Mrs. Howard was getting more and more ticked off at her good-for-nothing son. She felt like she was just spinning
her wheels.
Over the years, she married into the Howard family as she wanted, tying the knot with McNeil, but she never got
any real love or affection from her husband. Even when she was sick, he didn’t give her any tender loving care.
Her son was no better, completely ignoring her requests. Only her sensible daughter was willing to join forces with
her
Suddenly, the bathroom door swung open, and Ellinor came out.
Mrs. Howard turned her head at the sound with a surprised look on her face, “Who are you?”
Ellinor didn’t respond. She just squinted at Mrs. Howard, her eyes flashing with a cold light.
Mrs. Howard was her mother’s good friend and also the other woman in her father’s affair. Now that she had
successfully taken over her mother’s position, she was now trying to coax her son into fighting for her father’s
inheritance.
Although Ellinor and Balfour didn’t share any sibling bond, she didn’t want to see this woman get what she wanted.

Mrs. Howard didn’t get a response and started feeling a bit uneasy. She frowned and turned to her son, “Byran,
who is this? Why didn’t you tell me there was someone else in your room?”
Byran looked at Ellinor and started, “Mom, she is…”
Ellinor cut him off, “Byran, did you solve that question just now? Do you get it?”
Byran was taken aback, “I got it, but I haven’t finished yet. Don’t underestimate me; wait a bit, and I’ll show you
when I’m done.”
Ellinor smiled, “Alright, then hurry up; I’m here waiting to see.”
Mrs. Howard, listening to their conversation, thought for a moment, “So she’s a tutor, huh? Byran, is this another
tutor Balfour sent for you?”
Byran wanted to keep his dignity. He was busy trying to prove to Ellinor that he really got it, so he didn’t get around
to answering his mother’s question.
Even without her son’s answer, Mrs. Howard saw that as soon as he saw the girl coming out of the bathroom, he
started hitting the books, which made her even more certain that Ellinor was a tutor.
