Chapter 580
Ellinor, following Byranâs lead, glanced in the direction of the man who had just
stepped out of his car. He was dressed in a dark suit, had neatly combed hair, and his handsome featur
She knew she would encounter him here today, but she didn't expect to see him right off the bat.
Enthusiastically. Byran hopped out of the car. âTheo, you're early tool
âHmmâ Theo responded coldly, his gaze seemingly sweeping over Ellinor, who was just getting out of th
Ellinor didn't meet his gaze, instead, she looked around the Bagley familyâs grand courtyard.
Byran said, âMr. Blanchet my sister is already here, she must be waiting for you! Come on, let's go in to;
The Bagley family's place was buzzing. Guests trickled in, gathering around the sofa to present gifts anc
Byran handed over his own present, âHappy birthday, Grandpa. This is my gift for you!"
Old Mr. Bagley took a look at the gift Byran presented with a stern yet tender expression, âYou're still a
Byran emphasized, âGrandpa, I'm not a kid anymore; I'm an adult now!"
Old Mr. Bagley frowned, âBut you're still in high school, stop trying to be a grown-up!â
Everyone in the family knew about Byranâs failure to get into college, so he felt both embarrassed and c
At this moment, Collin stepped forward, presenting a rectangular gift box,
âOld Mr. Bagley, this is a token of appreciation from Mr. Blanchet. Happy birthdayâ
Old Mr. Bagley smiled, nodding for a servant to accept the gift, âThank you, Mr. Blanchet.â

âTheo, how's your grandpa doing lately? He must be recovering well after the surgery, right?â
Theo nodded. âThank you for your concern, heâs recovering well. When he returns, I'll have him come o\
Old Mr. Bagley chuckled, âGood, that old coot must be bored out of his mind lying in bed all this time. I
Theo politely agreed and chatted with old Mr. Bagley for a bit.
âTheo, you're here!â
Patricia Howard's voice rang out like silver bells.
Dressed in a sparkling diamond gown, Patricia emerged from the crowd, looking incredibly gorgeous a
She walked up to Theo, looking up at him with longing in her eyes, âI thought you'd be busy with
work and come laterâ
âI don't have much work todayâ He replied indifferently
Patricia flashed a sweet smile, then turned towards old Mr. Bagley on the sofa, saying softly.
âGrandpa, I have prepared a special birthday gift for you. I think you'll really like it!
However, old Mr. Bagley didn't respond to Patricia's words, instead turning to chat with his wife.
Patricia felt a bit awkward and forced herself to maintain a smile
She was the center of attention in the Howard family. But in the Bagley family, her status was pretty lou
In reality, the old folks of the Bagley family were not her grandparents.
The Bagley family was the family of her fatherâs exâ
wife. Patricia was the daughter of her father and his second wife and had no blood relation to the Bag!
It made sense that the Bagley family would treat her coldly. However, old Mr. Bagley treated Byran exce
Yet for her, they always turned a blind eye. She couldn't understand why there was such a disparity in t
