The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 569

Ellinor was still absentmindedly playing her game. "Okay, Mr. Howard, spit it out. I'm all ears."

Byran stood up, leaning on her desk, getting up close and personal. "What's the real reason you left the Blanchet family?"

Hearing this, Ellinor's hand on the mouse hesitated for a moment. She offered a small smile but didn't look up.

"I did what I needed to do, then I left."

Byran looked puzzled, "What was that?"

Ellinor glanced at him, "Didn't you already know? Mr. Blanchet never truly intended to marry me. He just needed me to deal with the Blanchet family elders. I carried out the mission. If I had stayed, I would have become Patricia's rival."

Byran was stunned and at a loss for words as she calmly spilled the beans.

Just then, there was a knock on Ellinor's office door.

Byran's secretary, Jone, poked his head in, "Ms. Howard has left. Mr. Howard asked me to remind you to get back to your homework."

Byran felt a headache coming on upon hearing he had to get back to homework. He was restless.

"Alright, got it! You go ahead; I'll chat with Ms. Mendoza for a bit and then head back myself."

"Okay, Mr. Howard!" Jone respectfully acknowledged Byran's words, shooting Ellinor a look. He couldn't help but feel a bit miffed.

What was with Ellinor? Even kids weren't off-limits.

Once Jone was out of sight, Byran grabbed Ellinor's hand on the mouse.
