Chapter 1503
Byran pleaded eagerly. “No, no! Ellinor, I’m not trying to mooch a meal off you! There’s something else!”
Ellinor, busy typing away on her keyboard, replied, “Spit it out, Byran! I’m in the thick of something right now.”
“It’s about our brother.” Byran said. “I think he might have gone down the wrong path.”
Ellinor frowned, suspecting Byran was up to his old tricks again.
He had seemed so mature and grown-up earlier that morning, but now he was back to his old panic-stricken self,
just like he was three years ago.
Indeed, a leopard never changed its spots.
“You should be speaking to your parents about your brother, not me. Anything else? If not, I’m hanging up.”
But Byran was truly frantic. “Don’t hang up! Ellinor, we can’t let our parents know about this. Come and help me.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLet’s figure out a way to get him back on track.”
Ellinor was starting to get annoyed. “What on earth has Mr. Howard done? What’s this about the wrong path?”
“Well… I was passing by the Howard Group building at noon today and saw our brother leave alone in his car. I was
curious, so I followed him. He ended up at a hotel and booked a presidential suite. It was the middle of the day. You
don’t think that’s weird?”
Ellinor rolled her eyes, annoyed by his nosiness even towards his own brother.
“So, he booked a room at midday. He’s an adult, Byran. He must have his reasons. You shouldn’t be prying into
others’ affairs. Even if it is your brother.”
“I haven’t finished! After he booked the suite, he didn’t stay long. He left, knocked on the door of the suite across
from his, and someone let him in. He was in there for ages!”
Ellinor pinched the bridge of her nose. “So what? Did you stay outside to spy on your own brother? To see who he
booked the suite with?”
Byran, growing more frantic, raised his voice. “Oh, come on! I’ve made it so clear, so why can’t you understand? If
it was a regular hotel booking, I wouldn’t have stuck around. Don’t you find it odd? If our brother was meeting
someone, he would have just knocked on their door to begin with. Why would he go to the trouble of booking a
room across from theirs? Something’s not right!”
Ellinor smirked. “Regardless if your brother’s behavior is odd or not, you shouldn’t be lurking around. Go do
something productive, or I’ll call him right now. I’ll let him know you’ve been spying on him and see how he deals
with you.”
Byran panicked at the thought. “No, no, no! Ellinor, I called you because I trust you. Don’t betray me! I’m worried
our brother’s been seduced and is having an affair with a married woman. I want you to come and help me
investigate. I’m worried.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf he really is having an affair with a married woman, we need to stop him before it gets out of hand. If not, you can
help hold him back when he tries to beat me up for spying. If he kills me, you won’t have a brother anymore.”
Ellinor sighed. “You think I care about having you as a brother? Fine, quit causing trouble. Is your brother really the
kind of person who would be easily seduced? Go about your business; aren’t you supposed to pick up the kids with
me after my shift? If you come now, I might take you along. If you’re late, I won’t wait for you.”
Byran pouted. “Fine… Maybe overreacted… I’m coming to find you.”
As he spoke, he reluctantly walked towards the door, grabbed his room card, opened the door, and prepared to
leave.
He still felt that something was off. Even if his brother wasn’t being seduced, the person he was secretly meeting
couldn’t be any ordinary person.
As Byran mused, he made his way out and waited for the elevator. When the elevator next to him dinged and
opened, he saw Sophia stepping out and passing by
his elevator.
Byran’s eyes widened. He feared he had mistaken her for someone else, flung open the almost closed elevator
doors, and ran out to confirm.
