“Yes, I'm giving up.” Ellen nodded. She now realized that fwas 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 | 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 popularity. 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. | just want to stay with you and live the rest of our lives in peace,” Ellen
answered honestly.

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 glanced 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 beceven more panicked and started fighting back. Suddenly, a
boy’s voice cut through the air.
“Dad? Dad, where are you? Cover and have dinner! Mom and | 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 | can’t

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

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 sometafter her outburst. She was already in her
50s, so she knew that she had to accept 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.
