“Yes, I’m giving up.” Ellen nodded. She now realized that fame was exhausting and being herself in her


    quiet corner of the world was the better option instead.


    “Miss Reiss, did you run into any trouble? It’s okay, we can solve it for you.” Miss Lane persisted. Ellen


    was in the spotlight now, and an interview with her would definitely raise their ratings.


    “I’m fine, but I personally don’t like interviews. Thank you, and goodbye.” With that, Ellen didn’t give


    Miss Lane any more chances to convince her.


    When she put down the phone, a pair of arms wrapped around her from behind, and the man gazed at


    her in approval. He was surprised that despite her young age, she had resisted the temptation of


    reputation and poprity. This was considered quite a feat already.


    “Why don’t you want more fame?” he asked. “I don’t want to live under the attention of others. I just


    want to stay with you and live the rest of our lives in peace,” Ellen answered honestly.

    She was already exhausted from the fighting and chaos outside. Simple, clean social circles. and


    connections were the best for her. Meanwhile, in Connor’s home, they could only sit around restlessly


    since Ellen refused to help them.


    They couldn’t contact Ellen again, and they didn’t even manage to get her number. Moreover, the team


    had left Averna as well. “Why are you so useless?!” Olivia shouted.


    Just then, Connor’s phone rang. Connor nced at it but didn’t dare pick it up. Olivia thought it was a


    call from Ellen, who decided to have mercy on their daughter. “Why aren’t you picking it up?” she


    asked.


    Connor gripped his phone in slight nervousness, but he stubbornly refused to answer. Seeing that,


    Olivia reached out to grab his phone. Connor didn’t think she would try to snatch it, so he became even


    more panicked and started fighting back. Suddenly, a boy’s voice cut through the air.


    “Dad? Dad, where are you? Come over and have dinner! Mom and I are waiting for you!”


    Olivia immediately froze in her attempt to grab the phone, while a strong look of panic colored Connor’s


    face. Connor hastily ended the call, not daring to look at his wife.


    “Whose child is it?” Olivia asked through gritted teeth, the fury already raging in her eyes. “They’ve


    gotten the wrong number, Connor said guiltily.


    ‘Connor, are you hiding something from me? Do you have a child with another woman?” Olivia asked in


    a shrill voice. Connor still dared not admit it as he roared at her, “I told you they got the wrong number!


    Why are you still pestering me?!”


    Olivia’s tears gushed down her face. She covered her face in despair as she said, “Connor, you


    b*stard! You got yourself a son with another woman just because I can’t give you one, didn’t you?


    You’re inhumane! You’re a jerk!”


    Realizing that he couldn’t hide this any longer, Connor sat down on the couch in silence.


    Olivia’s heart was filled with pain and regret. She knew that if her husband never had much money all


    this while, he wouldn’t have dared to cheat on her. That sum of money made him bold enough to


    establish another home outside


    “Who is that woman?” Olivia dashed over to him in a frenzy, shaking him as she interrogated, “Who is


    that woman? Tell me, who is she?!” Connor had to protect his son, so he wouldn’t tell Olivia. He gritted


    his teeth and stubbornly refused to say a word.


    “Connor, I’m going kill you! You deserve a thousand deaths! No wonder you don’t care about Lena


    anymore; you’re already devoted to your illegitimate son!” The more Olivia spoke, the more pitiful she


    felt. She began wailing like a crazed woman.


    Likewise, Connor knew he had done something. wrong. He remained silent as he allowed Olivia to hit


    and shout at him.


    As for Olivia, she calmed down sometime after her outburst. She was already in her 50s, so she knew


    that she had to ept the truth event though it was a tough pill to swallow. “How old is that child?” she


    asked.


    “Nine,’ replied Connor. Olivia broke down once again. She thought every man in this world would cheat,


    but her husband was the only exception. Little did she know his illegitimate child was nine years old


    already. That meant that he had already cheated on her ten years ago.


    “Who is that woman? Tell me, who is that b*tch?!” Olivia asked in a hoarse voice.
