Ellinor looked at Balfour coolly but politely. “Mr Howard, remember I worked for the Howard Group for a hot minute

and then you sacked me?

Balfour squirmed at the reminder, his face cringed with a hint of embarrassment. He stammered, “You can come

back to the Howard Group anytime and take any position you want.”

Ellinor smirked. “Mr Howard, you’ve got it wrong. I was hoping to get paid for those few days! I’m not a fan of

working for free”

Balfour blinked, then looked at her

It was not about the money, Ellinor was clearly hinting that she wanted to cut ties with him. She didn’t want

anything to do with him anymore.

Ellinor arched her eyebrows, “What? Mr. Howard, you’re not willing to pay me?”

Balfour snapped back to reality, “No, that’s not it. I can pay whatever you want.”

He pulled out his wallet from his suit jacket, scribbling down an amount on his checkbook.

After seeing his move, Ellinor snorted, “Mr. Howard, are you going to handle this with a check again?”

Balfour paused, recalling his past dealings with Ellinor via check and feeling a pang of shame.

He hesitated, then put away his checkbook, “You don’t like checks; how about a transfer?”

Ellinor replied, “I want cash. I only worked for the Howard Group for a few days; the pay isn’t much, and you don’t

need to write a check or do a transfer”

Balfour was quiet for a moment, “I don’t carry much cash on me; I’ll have Quinton deliver it to you later.”

Ellinor raised an eyebrow, “Not much; how much exactly?”

Balfour looked at the cash in his wallet, “Around a few hundred dollars.”

“That’ll do Ellinor got up, took his wallet, and pulled out some bills, “Based on market rate, these will cover a few

days of work, but I did close a big deal for the Howard Group, the extra should be my deserved commission. No

objections, Mr. Howard?”

He watched Ellinor eamestly, hoping she wouldn’t act this way, “Pearl…”

“Im Ellinor.” She cut him off; she didn’t like her old name.

Balfour had to change his words, “Ellinor, I know you might find it hard to accept me as your brother, and it’s hard

to forgive my past attitude towards you. I’ll try not to bother or trouble you.

But if you’re wronged in the Blanchet family, or if Theo dares bully you, come find me, I’ll always be here.”

Ellinor smiled, “Mr. Howard, you’re overthinking this. I’m not your sister, Patricia. I’m not fragile, I don’t have many

grievances to bear, and I won’t let anyone take advantage of me

Balfour was speechless, he just looked at her bitterly, his eyes filled with weary red lines, as if he had a lot more to

say.

Just then, Devin stepped forward, respectfully and politely saying his goodbyes, “Mr. Howard, Ellinor needs to rest

now, please leave.”

Balfour sighed heavily, gave Devin a glance, and left.

After leaving the Blanchet family’s villa, Balfour saw his car still parked outside, Quinton hadn’t driven away.
