“Apologize, you brat! Didn't you hear what my mom said?” Selena’s voice rang on the other end. Obviously, they were putting the
phone call on speaker.
Ellen took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Then, she said calmly to the other end of the line, “I'll never apologize to you for
this.” With that, she hung up right away. Her heart was heavy, and it pained her a lot, but she knew that she didn’t do anything
wrong and thus didn’t have to apologize to anyone.
Selena let out a snort in anger when the phone call ended. “Mom, she hung up on us.”
Olivia was stunned, too. She had thought that once she threatened to sever all relations with Ellen, the latter would immediately be
scared into apologizing in order to maintain her relationship with the only relatives she had left. However, little did she think Ellen
would have the nerve to hang up on her instead. “This little brat has got snerve, huh?” She was angry as well. “Let's see
who's gonna care about her when | no longer speak for her in the family.”

Just then, Connor cback.
The instant Selena saw him, she went up to him angrily, asking, “Dad, why did you get Ellen into the Presgrave Group? Do you
know how she bullied your daughter?”
“Weren't you staying at Ellen’s place? Why did you cback?” Connor asked curiously.
Olivia chimed in angrily, “How could you still be in the mood to ask about this? Your daughter got pulled by the hair and beaten up
by Ellen today!”
“Why would Ellen hit you?” Connor was puzzled. How could Ellen possibly hit someone with her submissive temperament?
“It was just because | accidentally smashed an ornament at her house. She pulledby the hair and hitwithout hesitation! My
scalp still hurts right now, you know,” Selena lied, not at all looking guilty.
Knowing what kind of a person Selena was, Connor knew Ellen must've hit her because she had gone too far. “Okay, don’t stay at
Ellen’s place anymore. Just stay hwith us.”
Seeing that he wouldn't stick up for her, Selena went upstairs angrily to sulk.
Olivia dragged Connor into the small living room on the first floor. Then, she closed the door, saying, “Connor, we have to watch
out for Ellen.”
“Why?” Connor asked in puzzlement.
Olivia replied, “Lena said Young Master Jared is in love with Ellen, so perhaps Ellen will learn about his heart replacement one day.
Won't we be finished when she asks us about it?”
Connor was startled; little did he expect that Ellen and Jared had becso close. “Why would Young Master Jared fall in love with
Ellen?” he asked in surprise. He couldn't understand why Jared would love a commoner like Ellen. After all, the Presgraves were the
number-one family of business tycoons in the country.
“In short, Lena heard from Young Master Jared himself that he loves Ellen and wants to court her. Say, Connor, do you think there
are supernatural events on earth? Young Master Jared's current heart belonged to Ellen’s brother. Could the late Kevin have helped

Connor didn’t believe in supernatural events, though. He quickly shot a glare at his wife, saying, “What nonsense are you talking
about? How could such a weird thing exist in the world?”
Olivia replied, “I'm just saying! If not, why would Young Master Jared fall in love with Ellen? What is it about Lena that makes her
inferior to Ellen? Why does he love Ellen instead of Lena?” She simply couldn't wrap her head around this My daughter wouldn't
lose to Ellen in terms of looks and deportment Could Young Master Jared be blind?
Connor was worried as well, but he thought nothing would happen between Ellen and Jared. As a man, he understood that Jared
would end up marrying a lady who matched his wealth and social status. “Don’t worry too much about it. Only we know about
Kevin's heart donation back then, so Ellen won't ask about it.”
“What if Ellen learns about this one day?”
“If she learns about it, we'll give her 20 million as compensation. I'll brace myself and talk to her about it by then.” Connor had
already cup with a way out of this. And besides, Ellen was his niece, which would make these things even easier to discuss.
Surely my niece won't turn against me.
