Chapter 1930
Jared retreated to the door in the face of her emotional reaction. “Ellen, it's all my fault. | ran into a serious accident when | was
ten. | was barely hanging onto my life when my parents sentto the hospital.
We contacted your uncle, and he agreed. | cannot be any more grateful to your brother. | was able to survive, thanks to him, and
my family is eternally grateful to yours.
It is only today that | found out you didn’t get your due from the agreement. I'm hurt and angry at your uncle's family. Ellen, please
giveanother chance to make it up to you.” Tears welled in his eyes because of how painful it was to see her in such a state.

eyes. “You done? Get out.” “I'll go, but promisethat you won't do anything silly.” He was worried.
“No matter what | do, it's none of your business. Do not makehate you more, Jared Presgrave. I'll get out of here and the
company. and | won't touch any of those things you bought me. | don’t wish to see you ever again.” Her voice spoke of
determination, albeit soft.
The foreboding of losing her spurred Jared's anxiety, but he tried to soften his voice. “Ellen, we can work this out. Please don’t
leave me.”
She approached him with reddened eyes and placed her hand against his chest, whereas the man was confused by her actions.
The steady heartbeat rendered it impossible to fight back the tears in her eyes; he dared not move a muscle, letting her be.
No one knew how much he wanted to wipe off those tears, but he knew she would hate whatever he did right now. Despite the
agonizing grief, Ellen returned to the living room for the cat. After settling it into the box, she gave it to him. “Take it.”
She was worried she might abandon the cat for real, and if he forgot about it instead, the cat might starve to death. He held the
box as she closed the door loudly, failing to bring himself to leave the place out of worry. This is not what | expected.
Of course, he could understand her stance. After all, Connor and Olivia kept the seven-year- old girl in the dark, so how could Ellen
not hate herself for only knowing the truth now?

But | will protect her and love her forever in her brother's place. Meanwhile, Ellen began packing her stuff behind the door while
anything that did not belong to her remained.
On the other hand, Connor returned honly to be pulled over by Olivia. “I found a way to stop Ellen from coming after us.”
“What?” It was a monotonous voice.
“Ellen owns nothing from the beginning. She's all puffed up because of Mr. Presgrave. What happens to her if they break up? Plus,
we've gone bust. If she insists on getting the money from us, we'll have no choice but to sell the house and cars.”
“Just cut to the chase!” He glared at her. “Lena called Ellen to drive a wedge between the couple, and Ellen is misled into believing
that the Presgraves forced us to sign the donation agreement.
She can’t even bear the sight of Mr. Presgrave now. If she happens to call you, just tell her the sstory. That way, she'll resent
the Presgrave Family to her bones, she recounted.
