Olivia and Selena were both foaming at the mouth as they watched Jared and Ellen enter the elevator. Finally, Olivia couldn't help but swear, “That little b*tch!” Selena dragged her home. “Mom, we have to hurry and talk Dad out of selling the house! It’s our family’s most valuable property!” Connor sat on the couch with his head in his hands while sinking into guilt and remorse. It was Olivia who had called the shots on many things over the years. He wasn’t heartless from the start; he had wanted to give Jessica and Ellen several thousand every year, but Olivia had stopped him from doing so. As this happened again and again every year, he slowly turned into a heartless man.
“Connor, don't you ever sell the house! Lena and | won't agree to this!” Olivia yelled at him as soon as she returned home.
Selena decided to let her parents refuse to pay the money as Connor had promised. “Dad, Mom is right. We're not selling the house. We'll see what Ellen can do about us.” Connor replied, “If we don’t sell the house, I'll have to go to jail! Would you rather sell the house or letgo to jail?” Olivia continued to behave like a shrew. ‘Ellen wouldn't dare to do that! If she dares to send you to jail, she'll be an ingrate! You're her uncle, after all. We'll wear her down.” Suddenly, Connor growled at her, “Olivia, had you not eggedon over these years, would Ellie have hated us so much? Would she hate us so much if we had given her a few thousand every year?” He blamed his wife, saying, “It was all your fault! You were insatiable! You are the reason for all of this!” Olivia was instantly speechless for a moment; little did she think her husband would throw accusations at her.

Doesn't that mean you weren't willing to give her the money as well?” She would never admit mistakes. Whenever something wrong happened, she would always pass the buck to others.
“You... How could you...” Connor trembled all over with anger. Flying into a rage, he jumped on Olivia, raised his hand, and slapped her hard. across the face.
Olivia was stunned; never did she think her husband would hit out so hard at her. Not only did her cheek turn numb from the slap, but she even tasted blood in her mouth.
“Aah! Mom!” Selena was frightened to see her father hitting her mother. She quickly stopped Connor, saying, ‘Dad, stop hitting Mom!” “She deserves this! Look how I'm gonna beat her to death!” Connor was mad with rage. At this very moment, he even felt the urge to kill Olivia.
Olivia burst into tears. She yelled, ‘Catif you have the nerve! If you dare to beatto death, you'll have to go to jail for the rest of your life!” Overwhelmed with rage, she wanted to slap Connor back in return, so she reached out and throttled him..
Selena tried to dissuade them from fighting, but Connor shoved her away. In an instant, the husband and wife got into al scuffle.
Selena was terrified as she watched her parents fight one another. Tears rolled down her cheeks; inwardly, she hated Ellen’s guts. What has becof my originally happy family now? My parents were so devoted to each other before, but they've turned against each other now. It’s all thanks to Ellen! All of this is her fault! “Stop fighting! Stop fighting, both of you!” She rushed over in an attempt to pull Olivia away.

“I'd never sell the house no matter what,” Olivial uttered through clenched teeth. “We have to sell it even if you don’t want to,” Connor replied with determination.
Compared to the bedlam in the Aguirre Family, Ellen calmed down a lot as she sat in the passenger seat of Jared's car at this very moment. It was just that she lapsed into complete silence.
After going through so many things, she finally saw Connor and his family in their true colors. People are so unfathomable. Their interests turned them into a bunch of insatiable people, making them so unrecognizable that they're no longer the people | remember.
