When the movie came to an end, Jared finally heaved a sigh of relief. It was hinted at the end of the movie that
there was an Easter egg. Ellen wanted to wait for it, but the man took her hand and dragged her away.
“Hey… There’s still an Easter egg in the movie!” The man dragged Ellen out of the theater without a pause. She
couldn’t help but break free of his grasp, asking, ‘Let go of me, okay?”
“Haven’t you had enough of watching the movie?” Jared asked grumpily.
“I-I’m going to the restroom!” Ellen blinked her eyes, confused as to why Jared had lost his temper all of a sudden.
Is he not even gonna let me use the restroom?
Jared relaxed his grip on her hand. As she went to the restroom, he stood in the hallway and became the subject of
discussion among the ladies passing by. A few ladies even purposely stood there just to peep at him. After all, this
was their first time seeing a man in real life who looked just like one of those wealthy scions in the movies!
Just then, Ellen came out of the restroom. Jared immediately wrapped his arm around her and left.
“He’s got a girlfriend!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“That lady’s so lucky to be his girlfriend!”
Ellen happened to hear this. After being startled for a moment, she started feeling somewhat bashful.
As soon as they stepped out of the theater, Ellen’s phone rang. She picked it up and took a look at it, only to see
that it was a phone call from Connor.
Jared noticed it as well. He patted her on the shoulder, saying, “Just answer the phone and get back what’s
supposed to be yours.” Ellen answered the phone. “Hello.”
“Ellie, it’s me, your Uncle Connor. I finally collected enough money to give you by selling my house and my car. Say,
when are you free? Let’s meet up.”
“I’m free right now.” “Okay, you decide on the place, then. We’ll sit down and talk.”
Seeing that the theater wasn’t far from Connor’s house, Ellen replied, “Okay, I’m waiting for you at the mall. I’ll
send you the address.”
Connor sounded gentle and sincere over the phone. “Alright, see you in a moment.” Jared looked at Ellen. “I’ll meet
them with you.”
Ellen nodded. In fact, she would feel more relaxed in his company.
Meanwhile, at Aguirre Residence, Olivia couldn’t help getting excited after watching Connor end the phone call.
“How is it? Did Ellen change her stance?”
“I think so. She’s softhearted in the first place, anyway.” Connor thought it feasible to negotiate with Ellen.
Olivia replied, “That’s great! In that case, can we ask her to give us more of the money?” Her greed went to her
head again; she couldn’t wait for Ellen to pity their family.
She even purposely chose to wear some old clothes today while getting Connor to wear a suit from several years
ago. The clothes were discolored from multiple piles of washing, which made the couple appear shabbier than
before.
Just then, Connor’s phone rang; Ellen texted him her address. After taking a look at it, he said, “It’s not far from
here. Let’s go!”
Olivia pondered while saying, “Ellen will come alone, right? Young Master Jared gives me the creeps now whenever I
see him.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmConnor replied, “I think so.” He thought that a busy man like Jared probably wouldn’t have time to keep Ellen
company. And besides, he also hoped that Ellen would come alone so that it would be easier for him to make the
request.
The couple decided to just brazen it out. As long as they could extract some money from Ellen’s 7.5 million, they
wouldn’t have to live in such poverty after this.
They took a cab to the shopping mall. As soon as they got out of the cab, Olivia complained with a look of disgust,
“What’s that smell in the cab?! It stank so much that I almost threw up.”
She had always gone out in her husband’s Bentley in the past. Its spacious seats were pure pleasure, and besides,
she hadn’t taken a cab for a dozen years already.
Connor said to her, “All right, stop being so unreasonable! Let’s meet Ellen first.” At this moment, he was still
thinking about another pair of mother and son to whom he wanted to give some money, so he yearned more than
his wife for Ellen to give them some cash.
“It’s that cafe, right? Lena took me there before. It’s a nice place,” Olivia said.
Connor nodded while taking her to the cafe’s entrance. As soon as they entered, they saw a couple seated in front
of the French window, and their hearts thumped instantly.
