Chapter 552
Balfour looked down at his sister, who had suddenly collapsed in his arms, making no move to
comfort her.
In the past, he would have gently patted her back, telling her not to cry and not to be afraid
because he was there for her and she didn't need to worry about anything,
But now he felt like the sister in his arms was not real.
Ellinor gave a soft chuckle as she watched Patricia continue her act.
âMs. Howard, when Gavin accused me just now, he didnât provide any chat logs or transfer records
either. But you were quick to insist that I admit my mistake and stop fighting back. Why is it that
when the same thing happens to you, you think his words hold no weight? Don't you think you're
being a bit hypocritical?â
Balfour scrolled through the chat logs, reading each message carefully.
He spotted a message sent by Patricia to Gavin via the social media app half an hour ago.
âGo to the private room and destroy the memory card in the camera right now. I'll transfer the
money to you immediately!â
Gavin: [Ms. Howard, I've flushed the memory card down the toilet, just like you asked. Here's the
proof!
Patricia: Delete the record of me being your friend and all our chat logs! You know what to say next,
right?
Gavin: [Yes, don't worry, I know!]
Balfour's heart ached.
Since they were kids, Patricia had always been a sweet and innocent girl in his eyes. He had always
doted on Patricia and protected her from any harm or bullying. All the love he had for his lost sister,
Pearl Howard, was poured into Patricia.
But had he spoiled Patricia into a cunning, ruthless, and deceptive girl?
His real sister, Pearl, would never have done something like this. She would never have become
someone like her!
