Balfours gaze faltered for a moment as he admired the strength in his sister.
This was his sister, who was bold in her love and hate, capable of both acceptance and letting go
She was nothing like Patricia, who only knew how to cry, complain, and play the victim.
Hed really misjudged her before, failing to see how atrocious Patricia was at acting.
Taking a deep breath. Balfour asked, ‘Ellinor, you initially came to work with me to investigate why our
mom left the Howard family with you years ago, didn’t you?”
“Yep, spot-on! Ellinor admitted openly
She had nothing to hide now so she might as well lay all the cards on the table.
Balfour let out a sigh and said, ‘There’s no need to look into it anymore. Il tell you everything you want
to know
Ellinor squinted her bright eyes mockingly, “You’ll tell me that our mom messed up, got caught in the
act, and was booted out by the Howards?”
Balfour frowned at her, ‘Ellinor, I didn’t want to believe it either but I did see Mom leaving a hotel with
another man back then.”
Ellinor laughed, “So seeing is believing? I’ve walked out the front doors of hotels with different men
loads of times! By your logic, Ive had something with every single one of them?”
Balfour frowned, “Don’t spout nonsense!”
Ellinor rolled her eyes at him dismissively, “No matter what happened back then, I believe Mom isn’t
that kind of woman!”
Balfour was heartened to see his sister firmly defending their mother. He nodded. “Hmm, I also believe
Mom isn’t that kind of person. That’s why I’ve been having people Investigate the incident over the
years. But we’ve never been able to find anything conclusive.”
Ellinor was disappointed in Balfour, ‘Just because you can’t find anything doesn’t mean there’s nothing
to find! Use your brain; who would gain the most from Mom getting kicked out of the Howard family?
They’d be the prime suspect! And you! You’ve taken a thief for your mother and switched sides at the
first sign of change!”
Balfour didn’t get angry even though his sister was chastising him. But he felt wronged
He’d never seen Xenia as a mother. For years, he was only nice to her because of Patricia, and he
barely spoke to her otherwise
Not long after Mom left with Ellinor, Xenia showed up with a baby bump, forcing a mamage. Their
grandparents, seeing the Howard heir in her belly, reluctantly let her in.
He suspected Xenia framed Mom to marry Dad, but he was just a student then and was powerless to
investigate thoroughly.
Later, when he took over from his father, the first thing he did was reopen the case about Mom’s
supposed infidelity, hoping to clear her name.
Unfortunately, he still couldn’t find any evidence of premeditation
He told Ellinor there was no evidence and asked her to stop digging
Not because he doubted Mom’s character, but because he couldn’t find the answer, which was just
draining his energy and emotions.
So, he didn’t want Ellinor to get stuck in the past like him, consumed by his failure to protect Mom and
Ellinor
Without refuting Ellinor’s accusations Balfour just sighed and asked “Ellinor, where did you and Mom
go after she took you away? Why haven’t you been living with Mom all these years?”
When asked why she hadn’t stayed with Mom; Ellinor’s expression became complex as her brows
slightly furrowed, I’m not sure. I have a blurry memory of that time. All I know is Mom left me with the
Mendoza family, and then she disappeared without a trace.”
