Why is Young Master Jared here too? Olivia and Connor exchanged a brief look. It’s gonna be difficult for us to say it
this time. They sat down. When the waiter approached them, Olivia ordered a cup of coffee for herself and a cup of
tea for Connor.
“Ellie, we’re really sorry. What happened in the past was our fault. We’ve mistreated you as your elders, Connor
sincerely apologized.
Jared eyed the couple with his penetrating. gaze. Seeing through their lingering resentment, he figured that they
were going to play the misery card to gain Ellen’s sympathy. He said with a squint, “She’ll let you off as long as you
guys give her share of the money back to her.”
“Aren’t you busy today, Young Master Jared?” Olivia asked with a forced smile. ‘I’m keeping Ellen company today,”
Jared answered. “Young Master Jared, can we talk to Ellen alone? Connor pleaded.
Jared reached out and wrapped his arm around Ellen’s shoulders. “I’m Ellen’s boyfriend, so I don’t think there’s

Connor and Olivia exchanged another brief look, feeling so embarrassed that they didn’t know what to say for a
moment. Jared said, “If you’ve got nothing to say, then. please give the 7.5 million to Ellen. We’ve got somewhere
else to go.”
Upon seeing this, Olivia couldn’t help but say, “Well, Ellie, we’ve driven ourselves to the brink of financial ruin in
order to collect the money. We’ve sold our house and our car, you see, yet we’ve got only 7.5 million in our hands.
Your uncle and I are getting old, and we really have no idea how we’re gonna live from now on!”
Jared looked at Ellen. At this very moment, he hoped that she would stand her ground and not sympathize with
them.
Ellen looked at Olivia. Hearing her aunt’s words, she indeed fell silent for a moment, which made Olivia and Connor
wonder if those words had touched her and aroused her sympathy for them.
Ellen looked up at the husband and wife across from her as tears slowly welled up in her eyes. “Yeah, that’s right.
You two are getting old because you spent the best years of your lives on enjoyment when you two should’ve
worked hard.
While you two were indulging in luxury, Grandma and I were struggling in poverty. Grandma skimped on food and
clothing in order to support me through my schooling. Had you two had the slightest conscience over the years, you
would’ve supported us financially, had you shown us even the slightest sympathy, we wouldn’t have had such a
rough life.
However, you two had neither conscience nor sympathy. You two weren’t even willing to give us a bit of the reward
you got in exchange for donating my brother’s heart.”
Listening to her speech, Connor and Olivia hung their heads in shame and avoided her gaze, whereas Jared only
had a pained look in his eyes.
“Sorry, Ellie. I’m really ashamed of what we did,” Connor said before taking the bank card out of his wallet. He
continued, “Here’s 7.5 million on the card, and its passcode is six sixes. Just change the passcode yourself.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing that her husband had actually handed over the card like that, Olivia pleaded brazenly at once, “I’m begging
you, Ellie, please give us a little money for our living expenses, okay? We don’t need much; 750,000 would be
enough.”
Ellen took the card before standing up to leave.
Olivia jumped out of her seat and grabbed her hand. “I’m begging you, Ellie! Take this as my plea to you. Please let
us keep some money for the sake that we’re old and incapable of working!”
“Isn’t your daughter quite capable? She came back after studying abroad. Surely, she could earn enough money to
support you two, Ellen said before withdrawing her hand from Olivia’s grasp.
Olivia then said to Jared, “Young Master Jared, could you please take pity on us and give us some money again? We
helped you back then, after all.” She was so anxious that she lost her mind and actually pleaded with the man.
To her, it was as though the Presgrave Family’s money would fall from the sky, the family was so wealthy that she
could easily get several hundred thousand from them!
Jared darted a look at her. “It’s true that I’ll show my gratitude to the person who saved met back then, but that
person is Ellen, not you and your family.”
