Chapter 1861
“Apologize, you brat! Didn’t you hear what my mom said?” Selena’s voice rang on the other end. Obviously, they
were putting the phone call on speaker.
Ellen took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Then, she said calmly to the other end of the line, “I’ll never
apologize to you for this.” With that, she hung up right away. Her heart was heavy, and it pained her a lot, but she
knew that she didn’t do anything wrong and thus didn’t have to apologize to anyone.
Selena let out a snort in anger when the phone call ended. “Mom, she hung up on us.”
Olivia was stunned, too. She had thought that once she threatened to sever all relations with Ellen, the latter would
immediately be scared into apologizing in order to maintain her relationship with the only relatives she had left.
However, little did she think Ellen would have the nerve to hang up on her instead. “This little brat has got some
nerve, huh?” She was angry as well. “Let’s see who’s gonna care about her when I no longer speak for her in the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfamily.”
Just then, Connor came back.
The instant Selena saw him, she went up to him angrily, asking, “Dad, why did you get Ellen into the Presgrave
Group? Do you know how she bullied your daughter?”
“Weren’t you staying at Ellen’s place? Why did you come back?” Connor asked curiously.
Olivia chimed in angrily, “How could you still be in the mood to ask about this? Your daughter got pulled by the hair
and beaten up by Ellen today!”
“Why would Ellen hit you?” Connor was puzzled. How could Ellen possibly hit someone with her submissive
temperament?
“It was just because I accidentally smashed an ornament at her house. She pulled me by the hair and hit me
without hesitation! My scalp still hurts right now, you know,” Selena lied, not at all looking guilty.
Knowing what kind of a person Selena was, Connor knew Ellen must’ve hit her because she had gone too far.
“Okay, don’t stay at Ellen’s place anymore. Just stay home with us.”
Seeing that he wouldn’t stick up for her, Selena went upstairs angrily to sulk.
Olivia dragged Connor into the small living room on the first floor. Then, she closed the door, saying, “Connor, we
have to watch out for Ellen.”
“Why?” Connor asked in puzzlement.
Olivia replied, “Lena said Young Master Jared is in love with Ellen, so perhaps Ellen will learn about his heart
replacement one day. Won’t we be finished when she asks us about it?”
Connor was startled; little did he expect that Ellen and Jared had become so close. “Why would Young Master Jared
fall in love with Ellen?” he asked in surprise. He couldn’t understand why Jared would love a commoner like Ellen.
After all, the Presgraves were the number-one family of business tycoons in the country.
“In short, Lena heard from Young Master Jared himself that he loves Ellen and wants to court her. Say, Connor, do
you think there are supernatural events on earth? Young Master Jared’s current heart belonged to Ellen’s brother.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCould the late Kevin have helped her without us knowing?” Olivia said as a hint of unease and panic flitted across
her face.
Connor didn’t believe in supernatural events, though. He quickly shot a glare at his wife, saying, “What nonsense
are you talking about? How could such a weird thing exist in the world?”
Olivia replied, “I’m just saying! If not, why would Young Master Jared fall in love with Ellen? What is it about Lena
that makes her inferior to Ellen? Why does he love Ellen instead of Lena?” She simply couldn’t wrap her head
around this My daughter wouldn’t lose to Ellen in terms of looks and deportment Could Young Master Jared be
blind?
Connor was worried as well, but he thought nothing would happen between Ellen and Jared. As a man, he
understood that Jared would end up marrying a lady who matched his wealth and social status. “Don’t worry too
much about it. Only we know about Kevin’s heart donation back then, so Ellen won’t ask about it.”
“What if Ellen learns about this one day?”
“If she learns about it, we’ll give her 20 million as compensation. I’ll brace myself and talk to her about it by then.”
Connor had already come up with a way out of this. And besides, Ellen was his niece, which would make these
things even easier to discuss. Surely my niece won’t turn against me.
