Chapter 1927

Did Mr. Presgrave see through my lies? Is he aware of Kevin's identity?

Connor's countenance turned pale for embarrassing himself. He resented Olivia for coming up with this horrible idea. Forget about

the money, | bet Jared would not even wish to seeanymore.

Benjamin drove his car away, leaving Connor standing all alone in the sspot. It took him a while before he called Olivia.

“Honey, how did it go?”

“Your idea is literally stupid. Mr. Presgrave has found out that Ellen’s brother is Kevin, and you toldto blabber all those

nonsense to him? Do you think he'll give us the money now?”

“What? He knows that Kevin is Ellen's brother? Honey, did you actually do as | say? How can you be this silly? | was just thinking

out loud. You shouldn't have taken it seriously.” She refused to take the blame.

“You! I-If we don’t get the money, you're gonna get it from me.” His ineptitude made him vent his anger on his wife.

Meanwhile, Olivia was an irresponsible person who never acknowledged her wrongdoings. The money received from Jared was the

reason Connor and Olivia could put up with each other this long. Otherwise, they would've separated ways eons ago.

Connor's face was burning in embarrassment. We're done for. We're not getting another penny. and now Ellen’s gonna cafter

us. On the other hand, Olivia was equally livid after the phone call. She dialed Selena right away.

“What? Mr. Presgrave found out that Kevin is Ellen's brother? We're doomed, Mom. If Ellen knows that we didn’t give her a share of

the money, she’s gonna take her revenge!”

“| doubt she dares! She was way too young back then. What did she even know at that age? Even if we had given smoney to

her, would she have been able to use it?” Olivia acted like an elderly person with a conventional mindset.

“Mom, it's possible, if Mr. Presgrave helps her. With his backing, she might be able to take away half of the assets we own right

now.” Selena, who had been to college, knew the laws better.

“What? Is it that serious? What are we gonna do?” Olivia was surprised because Selena had a point.

“We mustn't sit still doing anything. It’s possible that Ellen will hate Mr. Presgrave if she knows that he has Kevin's heart. Let's

hope that she'll hate him.”

“Ellen is head over heels for him, though. Why will she hate him?”

“Tell her that the Presgrave Family set Kevin up when he hadn't passed away. That way, she'll resent the Presgraves to the bone.”

“Will it work?” Olivia was at her wit's ends.

“Trust me. Mom, just sit back and watch. I'm sure this will drive a wedge between her and Mr. Presgrave. Alright. | think | should

give her a call right now.” Selena had to be one step ahead of Jared before he revealed the truth to Ellen.

Selena, who was at a hotel, dialed Ellen’s number. Meanwhile, Ellen was patting the cat on the balcony. Life was peaceful and

wonderful at that moment.

Suddenly, her phone rang. Her brows knitted when she realized that it was a call from Selena. Why is she calling me?

Ellen decided to ignore it, but Selena did not stop calling her. Did something happen to Uncle Connor? His affair is a tbomb

after all. She answered the call at long last, albeit with an unfriendly tone. “Hello.”

“Thank God you answered the call. You know what? | overheard something shocking and | must tell you this.” Selena sounded

urgent.
