The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 962

McNeil sighed and pulled his gaze away, ready to head in to wash his hands, but bumped into his son, who was just about to leave the house.

"Aren't you going to the office today?" McNeil asked, but got no reply from his son.

Balfour gave his father a cold look and casually said, "I'm on my way."

McNeil was already used to his son’s behavior, so he watched his son coldly bypass him and leave as he walked into the house.

Inside, the atmosphere was tense. Xenia and Patricia were huddled together, crying.

McNeil calmly glanced at them with an indifferent gaze, as if all this had nothing to do with him. He didn’t ask any questions and just went upstairs to wash his hands.

In the living room, Dean was listening to the crying, feeling really annoyed, and grumbling, "What the hell are you two crying about? Especially you, Patricia, look at the mess you've made!"

Patricia looked pitiful with her red-rimmed eyes but had nothing to say, "Grandpa…"

Xenia wiped away her tears, trying to defend her daughter, "Dad, Patricia…”

But Dean didn’t want to hear her explanations, "Xenia, just shut up! This is the daughter you’ve raised. I think Patricia turned out like this because of your education. She will do anything to get what she doesn't deserve!”

Xenia’s face fell, and she started crying even louder, "Mom, Dad, why would you believe an outsider over me and Patricia? Patricia exposed Ellinor's actions, but have you ever considered whether Ellinor really did those terrible things. Patricia was only standing up for justice!”
