Chapter 1111: Chapter 1111

Bartlett Rex had been hit with the feeling of love, and it hurt just as much as a heartbreak.

Off to the side, Balfour Howard clenched his fist, holding back the urge to punch Theo Blanchet. He decided to turn a blind eye and make a move to leave.

As he turned to go, he caught sight of a heartbroken expression on Bartlett’s face, an expression he’d never seen before.

Balfour was no fool. He quickly figured out what’s going on, frowning a little. He waved at Bartlett, “Quit staring! No matter how much you look, she isn’t yours.”

Bartlett seemed slightly embarrassed at being found out. He shrugged and jokingly said, “Hey, Balfour, don’t be so blunt! Who knows, if Ellinor gets tired of Theo one day. I might still stand a chance.”

Balfour looked at him, somewhat stunned, “Are you serious?”

Bartlett laughed, “Do I look like I’m joking? When have you ever seen me lose my cool over a woman?”

Balfour’s expression hardened, “Regardless, you need to control yourself! You and Theo are friends;

you can’t be chasing after his wife.”

Bartlett shrugged it off, “They’ve always thought behind my back that I’m a bad guy. Why should I care what they think?”

A hint of disgust appeared in Balfour’s eyes, “They’ve given you a lot of respect already. If it weren’t for you messing with Jonah and Kemp’s women, they wouldn’t have distanced themselves from you. It’s generous of them to still consider you a friend. If it were me, you’d have been long gone.”

Bartlett looked innocent, “Hey! Balfour! Why are you being so mean? I explained it all back then. I never messed with Jonah and Kemp’s women. They were the ones who came up to me because their boyfriends weren’t treating them right. I just comforted them a little and ended up getting misunderstood. Don’t you believe me?”

Balfour rolled his eyes and said, “Ha! When you comfort women, do they usually end up naked?”

Bartlett laughed, “What if I say they undressed themselves? Seriously, I never messed with those two women. Trust me, buddy!”

Balfour turned to leave, “Don’t call me buddy. With a friend like you, trouble’s always around the corner.”

Bartlett followed him, laughing, “Balfour! You should think about your own future. Look at you; your sister is married, and you’re still single. Aren’t you ashamed?”

Balfour stopped and swung his crutch at him, “Back off! Don’t meddle in my affairs! You’re a total mess, and you want to chase after my sister? Even without Theo, I would never let Ellinor be with you!”

Bartlett dodged Balfour’s swing, grinning, “Why not? Aren’t I more gentle, more fun, and more humorous than Theo? With me, Ellinor would always be happy!”

Balfour scoffed, “Quit the crap! If she were with you, all her time would be spent dealing with your messy life. Happy? You’re the only one who’d be happy.”

Bartlett laughed off the comment, “You’re too much!”

As night fell and the sky darkened.

Chase Larios saw his boss and Theo arriving together. His expression quickly turned cold, and he smirked, “Mr. Blanchet, back from your trip, are you?”

Theo responded, “Yes, were you looking for my wife?”
