NovelEnglish“Why did you guys keepin the dark for so long? Why are you only tellingnow that Kevin's heart was donated? As his sister, why don’t | know anything about that?” Ellen continued to question Selena.
“That... It wasn’t that my parents refused to tell you. They were just trying to look out for you! They didn’t want you to feel sad because of that matter, but we told you now, didn’t we?” “Oh? Are you saying | should be grateful to you?” Ellen asked through gritted teeth.
“Shouldn't you? Otherwise, what do you expect us to do? Our family is broke now anyway, so you can’t get any money even if you want to.” At the mention of finances, Selena remained undeniably sour.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“But you guys still have a house, a car, and investments. Regardless, your family has to givehalf of the compensation!” By now, Ellen’s eyes were red. She did not need the money; all she needed was justice.
Connor's family felt no guilt while spending the money they received from Kevin's heart and had been living a glorious life for sixteen years, yet they never thought to visit his grave once. How could such animals have the right to spend that fund? She would rather donate that sum to charity. than let those ungrateful idiots take it.
“Ellen, do not try anything! I'm telling you to stop having any ideas about my family. We're poor as beggars! If you need someone to blame, you have the Presgraves for that! They didn’t even give us much back then! There were only fifteen million, and it's been almost twenty years. Do you think that’s a lot of money?” Selena was flustered as she did not expect Ellen would blher family.
Originally, she thought Ellen would amount to no threat without Jared's backup, but she did not expect Ellen to list her demand.
“Can you swear that every word you say today is true? Did your parents not get tempted by the Presgraves’ money and agree to sign the papers?” Ellen had regained her reasoning. With her uncle and aunt’s personalities, how could they not agree to surrender Kevin's heart a Presgraves promised them fifteen million? “Of course, it's real! The Presgrave Family has power and wealth, and they had their eyes set on Kevin's heart because he was the only one who could save Mr. Presgrave! Where are you now? Is he still with you?” “No.” “Atta girl! I'd say, you should stay as far away from him as possible. He's the one who stole your brother's heart, after all.” As soon as Ellen heard that, she immediately reprimanded Selena silently, Jared was seriously injured and bedridden back then, and his life was also at risk. If Kevin learned about that before he passed away and knew he could save a life, | believe he would certainly agree to it. He was a kind soul, after all.
However, all she desperately wanted to know was whether Kevin's heart was donated out of Presgraves’ threat or an amicable agreement with Connor and Olivia. That, to her, was extremely important.
“Ellen, if | were you, | would hate Jared and the Presgrave Family to death. Also, | wouldn't want. anything to do with them anymore in my life. Would you agree?” Selena asked.
She wanted to hear Ellen utter anything to imply that they had the senemy and that she did not want anything to do with the Presgraves anymore.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Why should I hate him? He was only ten back then and doesn’t know anything,’ Ellen retorted.
Stunned, Selena was not expecting Ellen to be so rational, let alone hate Jared. “Ellen, you're too kind and foolish. How can you still speak up for him? Yes, he has done nothing wrong, but his family is the culprit who stole your brother's heart.” “Please don’t say any nonsense that you can’t prove.” “M-My mom toldthat,” Selena quickly explained.
“If your parents were forced to agree, they shouldn't have accepted the compensation, and they wouldn't have sentto Grandma after getting the money.” Selena choked and said, “Anyway, | can’t do anything about it if that’s what you're thinking.” After that, she hung up.
On the other hand, Ellen sat inside her room, re- evaluating the things she could not comprehend in her unreasonable state that afternoon. Now that she had calmed down, her thought process becmore rational.
Selena didn’t tellthose things out of kindness. Her goal is to makehate Jared. Also, Uncle Connor's call was targeted to push the blonto the Presgraves so that he could justify swallowing the fifteen million.
