Jared wondered what went wrong. Ellen shouldn’t be that emotional upon knowing the truth. Clearly, someone provoked her with something.
His parents sought consent from the other party before proceeding with the transplant, so it was not a forceful deal. Therefore, he wondered why the permissible deal sounded like a deception to Ellen. He fully believed in his parents, who would never do something like that.
Ellen received the news from the Aguirre Family. Perhaps they contorted the truth?
Everything made sense if he put it that way. The Aguirre Family feared the notion of Ellen coming after their money under Jared’s support. Thus, they decided to seize the chance to drive a wedge between the couple.
On that note, everything Ellen knew was based on how the Aguirres told her the story. If they lied that it was a forceful donation, she would resent Jared for sure. Damn it!
All of a sudden, his resentment toward that family spurred to the roof. Their greed knew no bounds, and they kept hurting Ellen. Now that they had crossed his bottom line, they would not be able to get away from it.
Meanwhile, Selena returned home to watch the show. When she heard the news of Connor joining her plan and lying to Ellen, she could not be any happier. Now, Ellen and Jared were destined to go on separate ways. Who could she rely on without his protection?
Connor slept early due to a headache, whereas Olivia plunged into distress. She had plans for shopping in the morning, but they had gone out of the window. “Your father didn’t manage to get a single penny from that petty Presgrave! He promised to give it this afternoon, yet there’s nothing in our bank account.” She huffed.
Selena was aware of how shrewd Jared was, so it was considered a risk for Connor to ask for money this time. In the end, he came back empty-handed and revealed Kevin’s identity instead.
“Mom, you still got me. I’ll marry someone rich. Don’t worry,” she said confidently. “Yup. You’re the only one we can depend on. We invested so much money in you, so you must find someone rich to marry.”
“I will never let my life go to waste.” Selena always had plans for her future.
Even if Jared and Lambert were out of her league, she could marry someone from a decent family. She was reveling in Ellen’s breakup at the moment, for she need not worry that Ellen would lead a better life than her.
In the meantime, Ellen was clueless about where to go when the cab driver asked for a destination. Her house was demolished, and she seldom kept in touch with her relatives, whom she could not bring herself to disturb.
She had a few close colleagues, but she figured it would be undoing to interrupt their personal space. At long last, she resorted to a temporary stay in a hotel before looking for a house.
As such, she told the driver to take her to the nearest hotel, but he stopped at a five-star hotel, assuming that she was loaded. “Miss, we’re here.”
Ellen alighted from the car without a second thought, and her eyes widened the moment she saw the huge golden sign. Oh, this doesn’t look affordable.
While she was miles away, a sports car accelerated right in her direction as the driver appeared to be on the phone. It was too late when he finally noticed Ellen because both she and her luggage flew a few feets away. Her head hit on the ground, and she lost consciousness immediately.
Since it happened right at the entrance of the hotel, the security guards rushed to the scene. The young man, who got out of the sports car, was frantic. He was talking to his friend over the phone when he ran into her.
It was his first time encountering such an accident. Instantly, he dialed someone’s number. “Lambert, are you at the hotel? I ran into someone by accident. Come here quick!”
