Jared was both amused and annoyed by her reply. He said, “How can you possibly embarrass yourself in my presence? This is part

of your job, so you have to go with me.”

Ellen blinked her eyes before asking for confirmation, “Do | really have to go with you?”

“Yes, you have to,” Jared asserted in an authoritative tone.

Ellen nodded. Mustering up her courage, she replied, “Okay, I'll go with you.”

At the end of the dinner, Jared drove her home, telling her on the way to go to bed early and be careful while living alone.

Ellen got out of his car after they arrived downstairs outside her neighborhood. She said with a wave of her hand, “Drive safely on

your way home.”

Jared told her to enter the neighborhood first. After she had safely entered the neighborhood, he finally made a U-turn and left.

When Ellen returned hand saw how clean and cozy it looked after being tidied, she couldn't help curling her lips into a smile.

Recalling how the man even helped her make the bed, she felt both embarrassed and warm at the stime.

Just then, her cell phone rang. Who would callat such a late hour? she wondered. She picked up the phone, only to see that it

was a phone call from Olivia. Her heart clenched. Don’t tellshe’s gonna givea dressing-down! Knowing that she couldn't

escape from being chastised, she braced herself and answered the phone. “Hi, Aunt Olivia.”

“Ellen, all Lena did was break that lousy thing of yours to pieces, no? How dare you hit her and pull her by the hair for that? Don’t

you have the slightest respect for her? She’s your cousin! Olivia yelled angrily in a reproving tone of voice. Moreover, she even put

the blon Ellen without listening to her side of the story Before Ellen could answer, she warned her, “I'm telling you, Ellen, if

you dare lay a hand on Lena again, | won't let you get away with it! | was kind enough to keep you and your brother back then, but

little did | think you'd grow up to becsuch an ingrate! | really regret it!”

Seeing how Olivia talked about her kindness in fostering her and her brother, Ellen had no choice but to reply, “Aunt Olivia, | admit

that what happened was partly my fault, but it wasn’t my fault alone. Selena was in the wrong, too.”

Olivia replied, “Ellen, Lena has toldeverything. You've got Young Master Jared at your back, so you're turning your nose up at

everyone right now, huh? Did you ever think about who was the one that got you into the Presgrave Group? It was your uncle who

pulled strings to get you into the company, remember? If it weren't for our family, you'd probably be working as a waiter in some

obscure place now! How ungrateful!” She let out a sneer. “Don’t you worry that you'll get your comeuppance for that?”

After she finished her speech, Selena snatched the phone from her, saying, “Mom, lettalk to her.” She then said to the other

end of the line, “Ellen, | want you to apologize to me.”

Hearing that it was Selena, Ellen bit her lip, saying, “I won't apologize to you.”

“It was thanks to my dad that you got into the Presgrave Group. If not for my dad, you wouldn't have gotten to know President

Presgrave. Without my dad, your resettlement compensation would've been taken by others long ago. Ellen, as long as you

apologize to me, | can forget about this.” Selena just wanted to see Ellen bow down to her.

“That's a different matter, Selena. What about my wound?”

Selena replied haughtily, “That little wound of yours is nothing. Also, how much is that thing of yours? I'll pay you for that, but you

have to apologize to me.”

“l won't apologize to you,” Ellen said stubbornly.

Selena threatened, “You... Fine, don’t cto my place anymore. My parents won't look after you anymore either. From now on,

you're on your own!”

The words ‘on your own’ pricked Ellen’s heart.

Just then, Olivia took the phone back from Selena. “Ellen, your parents died early, so we fostered you and your brother out of pity.

Now that you've grown up, you don’t obey us anymore. Not only are you unfilial to you even hit my daughter. Who would dare to

marry an ungrateful lady like you in the future? Your husband's us, but family will kick you out if they learn about this.”

These words didn’t sound unpleasant to the ear, but they were as hurtful as a curse.

Olivia then threatened, “I'm telling you, don’t seek us for help in the future when you need your elders to back you up. We don’t

have such a heartless niece. Either you apologize to my daughter, or we'll sever our relations with you.”

Ellen’s heart twinged; she felt an overwhelming pressure weighing down on her.
