Jared wondered what went wrong. Ellen shouldn’t be that emotional upon knowing the truth. Clearly,


    someone provoked her with something.


    His parents sought consent from the other party before proceeding with the transnt, so it was not a


    forceful deal. Therefore, he wondered why the permissible deal sounded like a deception to Ellen. He


    fully believed in his parents, who would never do something like that.


    Ellen received the news from the Aguirre Family. Perhaps they contorted the truth?


    Everything made sense if he put it that way. The Aguirre Family feared the notion of Ellening after


    their money under Jared’s support. Thus, they decided to seize the chance to drive a wedge between


    the couple.


    On that note, everything Ellen knew was based on how the Aguirres told her the story. If they lied that it


    was a forceful donation, she would resent Jared for sure. Damn it!


    All of a sudden, his resentment toward that family spurred to the roof. Their greed knew no bounds,


    and they kept hurting Ellen. Now that they had crossed his bottom line, they would not be able to get


    away from it.


    Meanwhile, Selena returned home to watch the show. When she heard the news of Connor joining her


    n and lying to Ellen, she could not be any happier. Now, Ellen and Jared were destined to go on


    separate ways. Who could she rely on without his protection?


    Connor slept early due to a headache, whereas Olivia plunged into distress. She had ns for


    shopping in the morning, but they had gone out of the window. “Your father didn’t manage to get a


    single penny from that petty Presgrave! He promised to give it this afternoon, yet there’s nothing in our


    bank ount.” She huffed.


    Selena was aware of how shrewd Jared was, so it was considered a risk for Connor to ask for money


    this time. In the end, he came back empty-handed and revealed Kevin’s identity instead.

    “Mom, you still got me. I’ll marry someone rich. Don’t worry,” she said confidently. “Yup. You’re the only


    one we can depend on. We invested so much money in you, so you must find someone rich to marry.”


    “I will never let my life go to waste.” Selena always had ns for her future.


    Even if Jared and Lambert were out of her league, she could marry someone from a decent family. She


    was reveling in Ellen’s breakup at the moment, for she need not worry that Ellen would lead a better life


    than her.


    In the meantime, Ellen was clueless about where to go when the cab driver asked for a destination. Her


    house was demolished, and she seldom kept in touch with her rtives, whom she could not bring


    herself to disturb.


    She had a few close colleagues, but she figured it would be undoing to interrupt their personal space.


    At longst, she resorted to a temporary stay in a hotel before looking for a house.


    As such, she told the driver to take her to the nearest hotel, but he stopped at a five-star hotel,


    assuming that she was loaded. “Miss, we’re here.”


    Ellen alighted from the car without a second thought, and her eyes widened the moment she saw the


    huge golden sign. Oh, this doesn’t look affordable.


    While she was miles away, a sports car elerated right in her direction as the driver appeared to be


    on the phone. It was toote when he finally noticed Ellen because both she and her luggage flew a


    few feets away. Her head hit on the ground, and she lost consciousness immediately.


    Since it happened right at the entrance of the hotel, the security guards rushed to the scene. The


    young man, who got out of the sports car, was frantic. He was talking to his friend over the phone when


    he ran into her.


    It was his first time encountering such an ident. Instantly, he dialed someone’s number. “Lambert,


    are you at the hotel? I ran into someone by ident. Come here quick!”
