Xenia was taken aback, and she started to question, "Balfour had a car accident? What's the deal? He didn't seem to come home last night. Was it because of the accident?"
Patricia squinted her eyes, showing a crafty smirk, "Maybe! He probably didn't want to cause concern for Grandpa and Grandma, so he didn't come home."
Xenia didn't have any affection for her stepson Balfour, and he didn't respect her much either. If he bit the dust because of the accident, she wouldn't bat an eyelid, and she might even be glad.
Only if Balfour kicked the bucket could Byran take the reins of the Howard Group. Once Byran became the inheritor of the Howard Group, she wouldn't need to kiss anyone's ass in the Howard family anymore.
Patricia in reality, didn't care much about Balfour's fate either. She knew since she was a kid that Balfour's attraction to her was only because she reminded him of Pearl Howard, something she had to scheme hard to achieve.
She was pondering something else, or rather, a possibility...
"Mom, do you know how my bro got into this accident?"
Xenia replied nonchalantly, "I couldn't care less how he got into the accident! He doesn't treat you well anymore anyway, Patri. Why are you still worrying about him? Just forget him."
Patricia shook her head, "No, I'm not worrying about him. I’m suspecting something."
Xenia was taken aback, "What's that?"
