The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 574

Byran, looking a tad uneasy, said, "I was really tired from doing my homework this morning, so I went out for a walk to give my brain a bit of rest."

"Tired from doing homework?"

Balfour, as if he heard a joke that wasn't funny, smirked and looked at him sternly, "You didn't even get one question right and you have the audacity to let your brain rest? If your brain rests anymore, it might just stop working altogether. What's the difference between that and not having a brain at all?”

With his head hanging low in embarrassment, Byran stuttered.

Balfour, with a look of disappointment, stared at Byran, “Go back and do your homework right now. By the time I get back, you should at least get two questions right. Or else, your bank card being suspended will become the least of your worries!”

"Oh, got it." Byran turned around, looking pretty mortified. He didn’t even dare sneak a glance at Ellinor and quickly took off.

After Byran left, Ellinor saw that Balfour was still sitting at her desk, showing no signs of leaving.

“Mr. Howard, would you like some coffee?” She said as she walked in, smiling.

Balfour looked at her with a serious and detached expression, "Ellinor, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Ellinor raised an eyebrow, "Mr. Howard, all I did was ask if you wanted some coffee. What else could I possibly do?”

Balfour gave her a contemptuous look, "Ms. Mendoza, you're clearly just looking for opportunities right now. Your main goal must be to target someone of value. Even Byran, who's still in high school, isn't spared. You're crossing a line. Let me remind you, don’t waste your energy on that boy. Even if you manage to make that dumb kid fall for you without my consent, you're not getting into the Howard family.”

Ellinor laughed, "Mr. Howard, you and Patricia truly are two peas in a pod. You both view me as someone desperate to find a man to elevate my status. Let me just clarify, I came to the Howard Group to work. Even if I had other thoughts, it wouldn't be about marrying into the Howard family. So, Mr. Howard, you can rest easy. I'm not interested in you, and even less so in your brother! Even if one day you begged me to become part of the Howard family, I wouldn’t agree!”
