The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 612

"Balfour!"

Tears instantly welled up in Patricia's eyes. She sat in her wheelchair, latching onto Balfour's leg, and began sobbing helplessly.

Balfour was surprised by Patricia's sudden outburst. He knitted his brows, "Why are you crying? Is your foot hurting a lot? Don’t worry, I'll take you to the hospital."

Balfour had been busy working in another room upstairs and had no idea what had been happening downstairs.

"No, Balfour, my foot is fine. it's not hurting." Patricia said through her tears.

"Then what's wrong? Tell me." Balfour leaned down, gently rubbing Patricia's back, trying to console her.

Patricia just kept crying and said nothing.

Balfour was at a loss, as Patricia was clearly upset but not explaining why. He turned to Patricia's friend, Haillie. "Haillie, what's up with Patricia?"

Haillie looked shyly at Balfour, then finally spilled the beans, "Balfour, Patricia got bullied. It's all Ellinor's fault. She went too far!"

Balfour's brows furrowed even more, "Ellinor? What has she done this time?"

Haillie continued, "Ellinor tripped Patricia down the stairs on purpose. Since Patricia hurt her foot and couldn't perform on stage, I asked Ellinor to fill in for Patricia, but she ended up badmouthing Patricia in front of old Mr. Bagley, who then reprimanded Patricia.

And then, somehow, Ellinor got old Mr. Bagley to publicly acknowledge her as his granddaughter! Patricia got the cold shoulder from him, and he even said she shouldn't come to the Bagley residence anymore. Can you blame Patricia for being heartbroken?"

Balfour was taken aback. What? Old Mr. Bagley acknowledged Ellinor as his granddaughter?

Old Mr. Bagley was always a strict man; how could he accept someone he just met as his granddaughter?

Ellinor was indeed a cunning girl. In such a short time, she managed to worm her way into being old Mr. Bagley's granddaughter!

What was she really up to today?

"Where is Ellinor now?"

Haillie replied, "She's probably still with old Mr. and Mrs. Bagley. Balfour, Ellinor is a schemer. She'd do anything to climb the social ladder. You can't let her get away with this, or she'll use the Bagley’s influence to bully Patricia even more."
