Seeing that, Jared was ignited with fury. “What a load of nonsense.” Immediately, he realized that Ellen waking up late recently and her weak mental state seemed to be connected to this issue.
“Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no one can hurt you.” Jared wrapped her into his embrace and led her back into the living room. Once they were both seated on the couch, he took her phone and dialed the number back, only to be notified that the number didn’t exist.
At the same time, he discovered that she had more than fifty missed calls, and some of them were made at midnight, making it clear that this was not just simple harassment. He then opened her text messages and was met with a pile of terrifying messages, which he deleted for her.
“Have you not been sleeping well for the past two days because these calls have been harassing you at night?” Jared asked, his eyes narrowing.
Ellen nodded. “Yes. I thought it was just a prank at first, but I didn’t expect them to go so far.”
“I’ll take care of it tomorrow and make sure that they pay the price.” At that, he turned off her phone and let out a sigh before pulling her into his arms.
“I told you to tell me immediately if anyone. picks on you, no matter what it is,” he said to her in a low and firm voice. With the warmth and security emanating from him, Ellen felt the fear dissipating from her heart, and she said with a nod, “Okay, I will!”
Jared headed to the car and retrieved her dinner while he sat next to her with his laptop, watching her eat as if he were her parent. With him beside her, Ellen felt as if nothing could hurt her anymore, and her mind was soon cleared of the horrifying thoughts that had been plaguing her.
Jared raised his head and asked, “Can you sleep alone tonight?”
After giving it some thought, Ellen nodded. “Yes.”
Jared coughed lightly at her answer. He’d hoped that she would be afraid, but she was surprisingly brave enough. In that case, there was nothing else he could say.
“Alright then. Make sure you eat more. You’ve lost weight.” “Of course not! Look how my face got chubbier. Ellen thought she actually gained weight in the past few days.
Looking at her delicate face under the light, Jared reached over and pinched her soft cheeks. “That’s fine. I like it this way.” He curled his lips into a smile.
Ellen couldn’t help but mirror his smile when she suddenly realized that they sounded like a bickering couple. At the same time, Selena was listening to the report of the person she hired in a hotel room.
“I’ve already taken things a step further. If she’s living alone, it’ll definitely be affecting her mentally by now,” they announced.
“Use all your best tactics on her, I’ll pay you,” Selena ordered, eagerly awaiting the news of Ellen losing her mind.
Back at Connor’s home, Olivia was furious as she had accidentally stepped on a pile of dung and ruined her favorite pair of brand-name shoes when she went downstairs to take out the garbage that night.
Though she couldn’t bear to throw them away, she didn’t want to wash them either. But in the end, she endured the stench and went to clean her shoes. As she cleaned, she screamed inwardly, What kind of life is this?! Is this the life I’m supposed to lead from now on?!
She was now too afraid to even leave the house for groceries, fearing the ridicule of her acquaintances, so Connor had been buying the groceries for a week while she hid away from people.
She had no idea where her daughter went either, and she holed herself up in their rented house, suffering day after day. At this very moment, her husband wasn’t home yet, and she didn’t even know where he had gone.
In a certain luxurious condominium at Lockwood Village, Connor was entering an elevator. A woman holding a boy was seeing him off.
“Dad, will you come to play with me tomorrow?” the boy asked excitedly. “Of course. I’ll come to visit you every day,” Connor replied, returning his enthusiasm.
Aida’s face, however, darkened, especially when she heard Connor telling her about his current situation, which meant that he was doing even worse than her. No matter how broke she was, she still had the 150 thousand that she’d gotten from him. However, she refused to use this money, and she now relied on him for her daily. expenses.
“Nath feels like eating fruits tomorrow, so bring some of his favorites over.” Upon saying that, she took her son’s hand and went back into her house. Connor was the one who bought this house for her. He’d spent over 400 thousand for it and bought it under her name.
