Chapter 303
Patricia Howard walked between the two handsome men, attracting envy and attracting everyone’s
attention.
The only way they had to pass was Ellinor’s ward, which was guarded by a police officer. A man with a
briefcase was talking to the police officer at the door of the ward, explaining his purpose. Balfour
Howard recognized the man from a distance, his eyes sharpened instantly, “Is that Case Quinne?”
Case Quinne, an important figure in the legal field; the founder of the top law firm in Greenhaven, was
currently served as head of legal department at Crescent Society.
This barrister was usually responsible for some major economic cases, how could he personally come
here today to handle a small case of attempted wounding? Patricia naturally knew who Case Quinne
was. She looked to the man next to her in disbelief, “Theo, are you still trust Ellinor? Did you even bring
in Case Quinne to defend her for her sake?”
The expression on Theo Blanchet’s face was elusive, and his deep voice had no warmth, “I didn’t invite

What?
Patricia was taken aback, her eyes were surprised. It wasn’t Theo who invited him?
Then how did Ellinor invite Case Quinne?
You know, most people would not be able to ask this barrister to act in person, especially for such a
small case. Balfour gave Theo a sarcastic look. He didn’t beleive that Ellinor could invite Case Quinne
on her own.
Until….
The negotiation between Case Quinne and the police officer was successfully concluded. When he
was able to enter the ward, he suddenly saw two acquaintances walking down the corridor. He stopped
immediately, turned around, smiled and nodded to them, “Mr. Theo, Mr. Balfour, long time no see.”
Theo nodded back.
Balfour smiled and nodded too.
Case Quinne politely excused himself, “I’m sorry, I still have work to do. So I am leaving first.”
After speaking, Case Quinne entered Ellinor’s ward… Only then did Balfour believe that Mr. Quinne
might not have been invited by Theo. If Theo did found him, Case Quinne would at least come over
and have a chat with Theo because of their employment relationship, not keep his distance like he just
did, being polite but rusty
However how could Ellinor contact the authoritative lawyer Case Quinne himself and invite him?
The three of them stopped in their tracks, not moving forward.
The three of them seemed to have a tacit understanding, but each had their own thoughts, wanting to
know something…
About ten minutes later, Case Quinne came out of the ward.
Case Quinne looked serious and polite, and said to the police officer guarding the door of the ward:
“My client Ellinor has entrusted me with full responsibility for the case. Mr. Police Officer, I need to go to
the police station to meet the criminal who attacked Ms. Howard and find out the case. Who can take
me there?”

Before the police could respond, Balfour spoke not far away, “Mr. Quinne, I’m also heading to the police
station to provide some evidence. Shall we go together?”
Balfour stepped forward gracefully, with a modest smile.
Case Quinne responded politely and professionally, “Mr. Balfour, I apologize, I am now Ellinor’s
attorney, it’s not appropriate for me to have private contact with the victim and her family. I hope you
can understand.”
“I get it. Completely understand.”
Balfour was just a little curious and wanted to chat with this Mr. Quinne and find out how Ellinor invited
him here. Their Howard family had a case once, and despite paid a lot of money at it, they couldn’t get
Case Quinne.
Patricia watched Balfour and Case Quinne talking, then glanced at Ellinor’s ward, her brow furrowing
slightly, looking somewhat wary.
Could this country girl like Ellinor, without background in Greenhaven, have other connections?
She tumed her head unconsciously again, and glanced at the expression of the man beside her.
Theo’s eyes were slightly narrowed, his face expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking.
