Jared had also received a call from Stanley: when he was in the living room just now.
He had also watched the video of Connor looking for Ellen all over the internet. He
had to admit that Connor's method was extremely effective, for it took advantage of
Ellen’s kindness and sympathy.
He also predicted that Ellen would soften her heart, but he wasn’t surprised or angry
about it. He knew that Ellen and Connor's family back then were entirely different
