Bang! Behind Garrett, a car door was mmed shut, prompting him to jump in fright. He turned around and saw a tall, strapping


    male with a thunderous look striding toward him under the streetlight. Instantly, he recognized the man.


    “It''s you.” Garrett was still ina drunken state. If he was sober, he would not dare to go against this young man.


    However, as he recalled being thrown out of the ce this morning, he was filled with anger. He pointed at Jared and yelled, “W-


    Why are you here? I’m warning you, this is our family matter. You’re an outsider, so it’s none of your business!”


    “Do you want to get lost now or wait for the police to get here?” Jared asked coldly.


    “Y-You brat! Do you know who | am? I’m Ellen’s uncle, so how dare you behave so impudently toward me!” Not only did Garrett


    show his drunken ways, but he also attempted to take advantage of his seniority.


    Jared knocked on the door and shouted, “Open the door, Ellen.”


    As soon as she heard his voice, she instantly flung the door open, for she was worried that Garrett would hit Jared. At that


    instance, Garrett rushed over and attempted to drag her as she unlocked the door. Instantly, Jared tugged Ellen behind him and


    stood protectively in front of her. Subsequently, he grabbed hold of Garrett’s arms and shoved him aside.


    Garrett stumbled backward as his expression turned ugly out of anger. “Huh. How dare you guysy hands on me! Do you


    seriously think | wouldn''t be able to do anything to you?”


    After saying that, he found a rock on the ground and grabbed it to hit them with it. Ellen''s face turned pale as a sheet upon


    noticing his action. “Stop, Garrett!”


    Yet, it was a second toote as he had already hit Jared’s body. Worried that Garrett would injure Ellen, Jared turned to her and


    instructed, “Gather your belongings and get into my car.”


    As a result, she hurriedly rushed out of the house with her bag in her hand and noticed that Garrett was in a frenzy under the


    streetlight. He grabbed the rock and attempted to hit Jared with it, but Jared easily dodged the attack.


    The next second, Garrett shifted his target to Ellen and attempted to strike her with the rock. As soon as Jared caught sight of


    that, he lifted his hand to shield her. The rocknded hard on the back of his hand, and she saw the sharp. jagged edges


    piercing through him as a streak. of blood dripped across his hand under the faint light.


    At that point, Jared red up and kicked Garrett aside before dragging Ellen to head over to the car.


    Scrambling up from the ground, Garrett raced after them with the rock in his hand. Indeed, he was out of his mind in a frenzied


    state as he raced toward Jared’s sports car and smashed it repeatedly. Seeing that, Ellen cowered behind the car door and


    shielded her eyes in fear, struggling to even look at him.


    Soon, Jared entered the driver’s seat and started the ignition before stepping on the elerator to leave. Behind them, Garrett


    cursed at them, “Don’t go, you brats!”


    At that moment, Ellen’s face was as pale as a sheet. She looked at Jared’s injured hand, and tears began streaming down her


    face. It pained her to see him wounded. “Your hand... I’m sorry. You got injured all because of me.”


    “I''m fine. It''s nothing major.” He was thankful that he arrived in time. Had he not turned up, the oue would have been


    horrible once Garrett smashed the door open.


    Still, Ellen felt extremely guilty about it. At that moment, she remained frightened due to the shock, and her body trembled


    uncontrobly.


    “Do you have anywhere you can go?” asked Jared. She shook her head as tears welled up in her eyes. “No.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    “You cane over to my ce.” He offered without hesitation. Surprised, Ellen looked at him in disbelief, “Your ce?”


    “I''ve got plenty of spare rooms, so feel free to stay a night.” He was genuinely worried about her. If her impoverished, nasty


    rtives found her, she would not be able to get away from being sought revenge.


    “Would that be appropriate?” She was worried she would disrupt his life.


    Jared nced at her. “I live alone. It’s all good.” At that point, Ellen blushed before adding, “Do you have a girlfriend? That


    wouldn''t be appropriate, would it?”


    He instantly replied, “I’m single.”


    To that, she was momentarily silent. | can’t believe I’ve discovered our big boss’ rtionship status! He’s so handsome, yet he’s


    still single? That is too shocking. A man with his looks and figure should not be single. | wouldn''t be surprised at all if he had ten


    girlfriends.


    “Okay. I''ll stay the night. Tomorrow, I''ll start looking for a ce.” She had no other option but to stay at his ce for the night


    unabashedly.
