Chapter 284
Haillie’s eyes lit up the moment she saw the man about to speak, her tone softening instantly, “Balfour
Howard, you made it
Ellinor noticed Hallie’s bashful reaction and turned around to see
The man standing behind her was tall and handsome, dressed in a finely tailored dark gray suit,
exuding an air of refined elegance. Like masterpieces of art, his eyes emitted
a faint sense of aloofness.
His aura screamed nobility yet coupled with a sense of superiority.
As Ellinor turned her gaze toward the man, he did the same.
Balfour recognized Ellinor, his eyes narrowing slightly. “It’s you?”
Ellinor recognized him too, the grandson of the blind old man from yesterday
Seeing Balfour and Ellinor talking, Haillie panicked quickly becoming alert. She smiled fakely and
asked, “Balfour, you know Ellinor?”
Balfour glanced at Haillie briefly, then shifted his gaze back to Ellinor, “So, your name is Ellinor?”
Ellinor nodded, “Yes, I’m Ellinor”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBalfour didn’t say much, just elegantly raising his hand for his secretary, Quinton, to hand him his
wallet.
Upon receiving his wallet, he opened it, signed the checkbook inside, peeled off a check, and handed it
to Ellinor with a polite, “I heard you thought the money I gave you yesterday was too little. How about
this check?”
Ellinor glanced at the check he handed over. It was a check with a specific figure already filled in five
million, an extra zero compared to yesterday
Haillie was left in a fog, clueless about why Balfour would give Ellinor such a hefty check. She wanted
to ask but didn’t dare interrupt their conversation… Ellinor raised an eyebrow, “Do you think five million
could buy a person’s dignity?”
Balfour’s calm face didn’t twitch a muscle, he simply smiled, “Generally speaking it doesn’t take that
much to buy an ordinary person’s dignity”
Ellinor stared at him, “So, you think that as long as the price is night, you can buy anyone’s dignity and
anything that comes with a person?”
Balfour elegantly chuckled, “Yes”
Ellinor accepted the check, holding it under her nose to sniff it, and beamed, “Money sure smells good!
Sir, are you really giving this check to me?”
“Of course”
Watching Ellinor’s reaction to the money, a hint of contempt flashed in Balfour’s eyes.
He thought she was different, but she seemed like the rest, as long as the price was right
Suddenly, Ellinor slapped the check back onto Balfour’s hand, laughing. Five million is a fortune for
ordinary people! You’re handsome and seem to be worth a good amount, so I’ll use this five million to
buy you for a year!”
Buy him?
Balfour was taken aback, furrowing his brows, “What did she just say?”
In his thirty years of life, he had never been so disrespected.
Quinton was about to intervene when he saw his master being challenged by a woman….
Haillie was also furious, “Ellinor, what are you talking about? Who gave you the guts to speak to Balfour
like that!”
Balfour waved his hand, signaling Haillie and Quinton to step back and keep their mouths shut.

her, “Ms. Mendoza, the thing is, you saved my grandfather yesterday I wanted to thank you and reward
your kindness, nothing more Are you sure you don’t want a penny?”
Ellinor shrugged, “I took it, didn’t I? Didn’t I just use it to buy you for a year?”
Balfour stared at her briefly, then laughed, ‘Oh? Ms. Mendoza, what are you planning to do with me for
a whole year with this mere five million?”
Ellinor firmly said, “I demand that you stay out of my sight for a year!”
Balfour’s elegant smile faded, and he furrowed his eyebrows.
Ellinor’s playful gaze suddenly turned cold, and she said scornfully, “Rich kids like you are always
afraid that others have ulterior motives. So, no matter what happens. you’re quick to throw money at it
to keep things clear. I’m sick of it! Take this five million and get out of my sight!”
At that moment, no one noticed a tall figure standing at the door of room 302 for quite a while.
Theo had heard what sounded like Ellinor’s voice in the corridor and quickly got up to check. Then, he
heard Ellinor’s eloquent words to Balfour
Balfour was known for his pride and ruthless tactics, his cunning reputation in the business world was
well known, even he had once been at a disadvantage in dealing with
Balfour
