Balfour frowned, slamming the influencer's phone onto the table and glaring at Byran with disappointment.
"You don't study hard, but you do these hacker things on the Internet! Do you think that as long as you learn some basic skills, you can do evil without being discovered? If you're gonna pull off these uncool stunts, at least remember to not leave criminal evidence!"
Byran blinked back tears, his eyes reddening, "I admit I was involved with the hacking, but that video of Ellinor wasn't edited or spread by me. I never meant to hurt her!"
"You still deny it in the face of hard evidence?"
"I'm not denying. I truly didn't do it!"
Balfour was clearly agitated, "Quinton, take him back to his room. No food until he admits his mistake!"
Quinton obviously hesitated, but finally obeyed, "...as ordered!" Byran wiped the tears that were about to flow with his arm, and said stubbornly: "I won't eat it! You are a fool. You misunderstood Ellinor before, and now you're misunderstanding me! Someday, you'll be misunderstood too!"
Worried that Byran would further infuriate Balfour, Quinton quickly ushered him out.
Seeing this, Patricia breathed a sigh of relief, a smirk playing on her lips. She was thoroughly satisfied.
This way, Balfour wouldn't suspect her anymore.
While Byran was in Balfour's study, she had quickly tampered with Byran's computer system before Quinton brought in the investigators.
All the evidence Quinton had found was planted by her.
