When Corey heard that, he immediately ran inside the living room. “Ellen’s injured and requires ample rest, so she has decided to
stay at my place for a couple of days. Mr. Presgrave, please leave,” Lambert said with his arms crossed.
“She’s my girlfriend. I'll take care of her,” Jared retorted coldly. He did not need anyone else to take care of his girlfriend.
In the meantime, Corey patted Ellen’s cheek, which surprised her so much that her eyes widened in shock. Then, he quickly
shushed her. “You're Miss Reiss, right? Something's gone wrong, and someone cto find you.”
“Who?” “It's Mr. Presgrave. He's having a face-off with Lambert outside!”
Ellen was stunned as she did not expect Jared would find her hideout. She then stood up while supporting herself on the couch and
left the living room. In the meantime, Corey, being an avid -watcher, followed behind her for sgossip.

Showing herself at the door, she was hit by the afternoon sun and was dazed for a while before using her hand to block the
sunlight. “Ellen,” Jared exclaimed in surprise as he felt relieved to see her in one piece.
At the stime, Lambert turned around to look at her. The sunlight shining on her made her look frail, and her long black hair
was tackled by the breeze, revealing her pale face. Overall, she resembled a shaky wisp of smoke that would disappear at any
moment.
Instantly, her appearance evoked distress from the two men. “Ellen, | cto pick you up.” Jared's tone was exceptionally gentle.
She merely glanced at him and shook her head but could not hold back her emotion once again, shocking the men as tears began
streaming down her face. It was then that Lambert becmore certain that Jared had hurt her in sway for her to be so
emotionally hurt.
When she looked up at them with teary eyes, she looked pitiful yet resilient. “I'm not leaving with you, nor am | coming back to
you. Just leave!” She made it clear to Jared while standing beside Lambert.
Within seconds, the contrast in mood becevident between the two men. One was hurt while one was surprised.
“Don’t you see, Mr. Presgrave? Ellen is willing to stay with me.” Lambert gave Jared a provocative stare. “No, you must leave with
me.” There was no way Jared was willing to let Ellen stay with Lambert.
Ellen shook her head again. Since she had planned to stay at Lambert's place for only a couple of days, all she wanted from then
on was stranquillity. ‘I'm not leaving with you,” she replied determinedly.
“Fine. If you're not, I'll stay.” Jared was parroting her move. However, Lambert was unhappy about that. “Hey, Mr. Presgrave. This is
my home, not a motel.”
“I'll be staying in the car. If you dare to touch a strand of her hair, I'll beat you up.” Jared turned around and left the doorway after
leaving his remark. Indeed, he was dead set on spending the night inside his car outside of Lambert's house.
“Is he nuts?” The frustrated Lambert then turned to Ellen and asked, “What happened between you two?”
Not wanting to talk about it, she looked at him gratefully. “Mr. Orey, I'm sorry to trouble you. I'll leave after a moment.”

“Wait. You can rest assured that | don’t find you troublesome, so please stay.” He was joyous that she declared her desire to stay.
Also, he felt ecstatic in the face of a furious Jared.
Looking at the hungry and lethargic-looking woman, Lambert immediately ordered sfood from a restaurant nearby and had it
delivered to his doorstep. His assumption was spot on as she indeed bore an empty stomach until night came.
By the tshe finished her meal, Corey had left, and she was led to a guest room on the third floor. “No one has stayed in this
room before, so you can rest assured. I'll protect you,” said Lambert.
“Mr. Orey, I'm sorry for troubling you.” Ellen was apologetic toward the kind man.
“It's fine. Corey was the one who hit you with his car. Didnt you already forgive him? Why don’t you see this asmaking up on
his behalf? It's not a big deal, really.” He assured her, sincerely wanting to take care of her.
Nodding, she closed the door and cto the balcony that so happened to oversee the front. entrance. The car glowed under the
dark sky, prompting her to wonder if Jared truly intended to stay the night in his vehicle.
