Chapter 1309

Ellinor’s gaze moved from the TV screen to Balfour. “What do I want most?”

Balfour snapped his fingers.

Then, a few servants brought in a painting, placed it in front of Ellinor, and uncovered the white cloth on the painting.

Ellinor’s eyes lit up instantly, it was Lady Lotus’s self-portrait!

There were some fine lines at the corners of the woman’s eyes, and the laugh lines on both sides of her nose were slightly deep. She seemed to no longer be in her thirties.
