NovelEnglishChapter 1945
Connor hung his head. At this moment, his conscience was gnawing at him like thousands of ants. Now that his conscience had
finally returned to him, he held his head in his hands as tears suddenly sprang to his eyes. He apologized to Ellen in a choked
voice, “I'm sorry, Ellie! I'm a wretch; | couldnt bring myself to face you.”
Olivia turned to look at her husband. He's admitting our guilt by reacting like this, no? She wouldn't admit her guilt that easily,
though. She couldn't help but say to Ellen, “Ellie, what are you talking about?! In any case, we're your elders. We've been nice to
you over the years, no?”
Jared's hands clenched into fists as he looked on. Seriously, I've never seen such a shameless person before! He said coldly, “You
two don’t deserve to call yourselves her elders at all.”
Olivia was speechless for a moment; after all, she dared not yell at the respectable young man. She let out a sigh and pretended to
have her own reasons, saying, “You were still little back then, so how could we dare to give you so much money?!

We had no choice but to keep the money for you. Well, we got a little greedy and failed to stop ourselves from spending the
money, but the money's really gone.”
Ellen argued, “Were you just greedy? You sent your daughter abroad to study and used the Presgrave Family's connections to your
advantage, but what about me? You guys have long forgotten about me! Aunt Olivia, don’t you find it ironic that | had to thank you
with overwhelming gratitude when you madewear hand-me-downs from Selena?
You guys never treatedas one of your kin at all. You were only brushingoff like | was a beggar!” She really couldn't forgive
them for belittling her like that as she recalled Olivia's past doings.
Olivia's face reddened with shame. Little did she think Ellen would point out her intentions back then so clearly. Indeed, she had
given Ellen the hand-me-downs with a sense of superiority. At this moment, her cheeks were burning as though she had been
slapped across the face.
This was Jared's first tlearning that Ellen had been treated like that. Clenching his fists again, he thundered angrily, “You guys
really are a bunch of monsters!”
Selena couldn't help but shudder in fright. Jared looks so scary at this moment!
Olivia replied, “You can’t say that, Young Master Jared. How could you be still alive had my husband and | not signed the agreement
back then? You should be thanking us for that!” She immediately brought up the favor they had done back then. It's true that we're
indebted to Ellen, but we don’t owe Young Master Jared anything!
Jared replied frostily, “I'm thankful to you guys for signing the agreement back then, but the Presgraves have been kind to you
guys over these years, so | consider the favor returned. From now on, Ellen is the only person to whom the Presgraves will show
our gratitude.”
“Then why should Ellen ask our family for money? Young Master Jared, can’t you just give her another 15 million?” Selena said with
a snort.
Ellen replied through clenched teeth, “Do you think I'm asking for money? I'm only seeking justice! | want you all to pay the price
for everything you've done over these years!”
Selena’s face flushed crimson with anger. “How could you...”

Seeing that Ellen was only seeking justice, Olivia thought they would definitely be able to talk her into letting them off if Jared was
absent. “Ellie, we know we were wrong; we're just getting what we deserve for being greedy. It was our fault for being ignorant
over these years, so can you forgive us for that? Let's talk this over nicely, shall we?” she asked brazenly.
“l don’t want to talk about this. If the 7.5 million doesn’t get credited to my account in three days, just wait until | bring a suit
against you all!”
Thinking that her parents didn’t have to bear any responsibility, Selena asked with a raised eyebrow, “On what grounds can you
sue my parents? They were under no obligation to take care of you. You were given to your grandma back then, no? Didn't she take
care of you at the time?”
Olivia chimed in, “That's right, Ellie! Have you forgotten our kindness in fostering you back then? You and your brother stayed with
us for a year after your parents died, no?”
“Mom, what's the point of you trying to reason with her? She's nothing but an ingrate!” Selena said with a snort. Jared was
astonished; he had never seen such a shameless family before.
