I originally thought she was a decent person, so I respected her like a big sister. But she kept crossing the line and always tried to snatch what we cared about the most.
Even with my good temper, I can't stand being pushed around like this! When you're enduring the unendurable, it's time to stop enduring!"
Haillie nodded in total agreement, standing on the same side as Patricia, "Patricia, what should we do now? We can't let old Mr. Bagley really consider Ellinor as his granddaughter."
Patricia said to Haillie, "Haillie, I really don't know what to do. I'm afraid we can't beat Ellinor; you've seen how tough she is."
Haillie looked frustrated, "But we can't let her do whatever she wants!"
Patricia said thoughtfully, "Haillie, I'm actually more worried about you."
Haillie was puzzled, "Worried about me?"
Patricia looked worried, "Yeah, because I think the fact that Grandpa took Ellinor as his granddaughter today will affect you quite a lot.
You know, my relationship with Theo has been very stable since we had Baber. Theo is no longer interested in Ellinor, so even if Ellinor gets the support of the Bagley family, it doesn't make any difference to Theo.
When Ellinor realized she couldn't attract Theo, she shifted her target.
Haillie, I know you have deep feelings for my brother, so I'm worried.
Didn't you notice? Ellinor's current target is my brother. She did everything she could to get a job at the Howard Group just to get close to my brother, and now she's successfully become the granddaughter of the Bagley family.
Once she makes my grandparents happy, if one day they decide to marry Ellinor off to my brother, you'll be out of the game.
Patricia pretended to stop her, "Haillie, don't be reckless."
Haillie gritted her teeth, "Even if I'm reckless, it's because she forced me! How could she dare to have intentions for Balfour? I will never allow it!"
"Who has intentions for me?"
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Balfour came back after finishing his work. He walked in slowly with a relaxed and leisurely tone.
Haillie and Patricia were taken aback and quickly adjusted their expressions when they saw him come in.
"What were you two talking about? Why do you both look so off?" Balfour asked calmly. He walked gracefully towards Patricia and asked gently, "Patricia, how are you feeling? Is your foot getting better?"
