“Olivia, how could you...” Connor was stunned by his wife's unexpected response. Nonetheless, Ellen only responded calmly, “Aunt Olivia, that’s between the two of you, and | wouldn't want to be a part of it.” Olivia was taken aback by Ellen’s response, wondering if she no longer treated them as her family. Isn't she going to say something or stand up for me? At the stime, Olivia was not the only one feeling surprised, for Connor couldn't believe his eyes either. After all, Ellen’s indifference suggested that she was probably growing apart from them, indicating that she might not get along with them anymore in the future.

“Takeback to the car, would you, Uncle Connor?” Ellen asked. Sensing her reluctance to stay any longer, Connor opened the door for her and walked her downstairs. Then, Ellen took a card out of her pocket and said, “Here is 145,000. The password is triple six triple six.” “Ellen...” Connor was touched, feeling guilty about what he did to Ellen back then when she could have repaid him with retaliation instead of kindness.

“Say no more, Uncle Connor. Take good care of yourself,” Ellen responded. Deep down, she only decided to help Connor because he was her uncle; she wasn’t concerned about the others. “Alright, | know my way out from here.” Ellen walked away upon finishing her sentence.

At that moment, tears of regret were rolling in Connor's eyes, but he didn’t continue to follow Ellen any further, feeling ashamed of what he did to his own niece. Nevertheless, he was grateful for Ellen’s kindness when she lent him a helping hand in his desperate moments.

After all, Connor found his back against the wall when he couldn't find a job due to his age. Although he tried interviewing for a position as a security guard earlier, he was rejected almost immediately because he was deemed too old for the role.

Soon, Ellen walked out of the alley and was immediately able to see a tall silhouette waiting for her amidst the chilly breeze. While the man was standing outside the Fis bodyguards each took a corner and stood guard.

At the sight of that, Ellen felt a stab of pain in her heart and wished Jared had waited for her in the car instead.

Con! What's he doing outside the car? Doesn't he know how cold it is out here? In fact, the bodyguards wouldn't have allowed Jared to wait outside the car and risk catching a cold, but since Jared insisted, they had no choice but to give in.

Soon, Ellen crunning jared’s way just as the man walked closer to her. However, a cyclist suddenly appeared on her left, shocking Jared just when she fell in his arms in time.

Although she bumped her face against the man’s firm chest, a delighted smile showed on her face. “What's so funny? Do you know how worried | am about you?” Jared pinched Ellen’s nose.

Tm fine, aren't I?” Ellen curled her lips upward and seized Jared’s hands, which were freezing cold. “Why didn’t you wait forin the car? You shouldn't have waited foroutside.” “I knew you wouldn't stay long.” Knowing Ellen, Jared believed she would be back as soon as she did what she wanted to, which was why he decided to wait for her outside the car.

Ellen seized the man’s hand and said, “Let's get in the car before you catch a cold.” After Jared wrapped his arm around Ellen’s shoulder and entered the car with her, the motorcade disappeared on the road in the cold winter.

Meanwhile, Connor and Olivia were informed that they could pick Selena up and immediately headed to the police station. The moment. Selena walked out of the building, Connor slapped her in the face before Olivia could react.

Seeing that, Olivia quickly hugged her daughter and questioned her husband for his unnecessary action. “What are you doing. Connor?!” she bellowed.

“What did I do in the past to deserve a daughter like you?!” Connor couldn’t accept the fact that Selena had seduced a man about his age to set Ellen up.

“Says the man who betrayed my mother! Don’t you also have an illegitimate son?” Selena refuted her father.

“You...” Connor slowly dropped his hand when he realized he had also made a terrible mistake in his youth.

Selena gazed at Olivia, whose expression told her that her mother had already known everything. “Have you found out about it, Mom?” Despite knowing the truth, Olivia couldn't do anything about it, for she wanted to give her daughter a complete family. Although she felt tempted to divorce Connor in the past, she couldn't bring herself to do it in the end.
