“Is there anyone else in your family?” Jared initiated a conversation. “No. I'm the
only one,” she replied naturally. “You? Alone?” He looked at her in surprise.
“Yup. I'm all alone. My brother is gone a long tago, and my grandmother
passed away two weeks ago.” She could not mask the overflowing sorrow.
“I'm sorry for your loss,” he apologized for pricking her sore spot. She shook her
head. “Thank you.”
Ellen’s address was added to the navigation system. She felt guilty to have him
take the long route just to send her home.
When they arrived at her place, his brows furrowed. “Is this where you live?”
“Yeah, it's my grandmother's place, but it'll be demolished soon.”

vanished from her sight that she finally cback to her senses. Red tinges
crept onto her cheeks, and there was something familiar about that man for

“Your friend lives there?” The subordinate doubted that Jared had a friend living
in such a place.

Selena.
“What's wrong, baby girl?” Olivia held a bow! of bird nest soup into the room.
“Mom, can’t you just drive Ellen out of the company? She's such an eyesore!”
Selena turned her head sideways.
“Just don’t mind her.”
“| remember that tshe didn’t want to giveher toy when | wanted it during
our younger days. | simply borrowed it for a while, yet she accusedof
stealing. Dad even toldoff because of that!” Selena brought up their
younger times.
Olivia secretly did not favor Ellen as she scoffed. “Someone like her is bound to

payment, but there was nothing in Ellen's bank account.
Therefore, she dropped by the demolition company for inquiry. The contractor
told her that the payment was canceled because her nwas not included in
