NovelOnlineChapter 1944
Much to Selena’s dismay, Connor vented his anger on her instead. “And you! You never showed any improvement despite all that
money spent on you.”
Selena was stunned; the next instant, she was overwhelmed with disappointment. As expected, Dad doesn’t likeanymore. Only
his son is the apple of his eye, huh? “Dad, you think it's not worth spending money onbecause I'm a daughter, don’t you?!”
she answered back in a fit of pique.
Connor instantly looked at her in alarm. “What nonsense are you talking about?!” “You'd be happy if | were a son, no?!” Selena
asked again.
Seeing that the father and daughter were falling out again, Olivia said to Selena, “Just shut up for once, Lena! Your dad has never
mistreated you over so many years.”
Connor looked at Selena. He couldn't help feeling that her eyes were full of resentment, which filled him with panic. Could she have
found out about my affair?

Selena’s head drooped in bitterness; she felt that her family was no longer what it used to be.
Meanwhile, Jared's car pulled up downstairs outside the neighborhood. Fearing that Connor and Olivia would hit out at Ellen, he
had two bodyguards go upstairs with them to protect. her.
Ellen also got somewhat agitated after entering the neighborhood. She took a few deep breaths while recalling Connor's behavior
over the years, which really chilled her to the marrow.
Selena was just about to go out when she heard the doorbell ring, which surprised her. Who would drop by so early in the morning?
she wondered. The instant she looked through the peephole, she was shocked to see Jared.
Jared's here? She immediately checked her appearance before putting on a smile that she thought was the most beautiful in order
to greet the man. However, when she opened the door, she realized that another person was standing behind him-Ellen.
She involuntarily turned pale with fright. Why is Ellen here with Jared? Haven't they broken up already? She lowered her gaze and
was shocked to see that Jared's hand was holding Ellen's.
She couldn't help but step back while looking at the couple in a panic. Then, she shouted toward the house, ‘Dad, Mom, we've got
visitors!”
Olivia was clearing the table after breakfast, while Connor was getting ready to go out when they heard Selena’s cry. However,
before they realized what was happening, they saw Jared leading Ellen by the hand into the house.
They quickly exchanged a brief look, after which Olivia greeted the couple warmly, saying, “Hey! Young Master Jared, Ellie, what
brings both of you here? Have you had breakfast?”
Selena wanted to close the door, but Jared's two bodyguards suddenly stood at the door. As a result, she dared not close it and had
no choice but to put on a sheepish smile.
Ellen looked at Connor and Olivia, then at the luxuriously furnished apartment. Her heart twinged badly. This was the life of luxury
that they bought with her brother's heart. Not only did they feel not an ounce of remorse about it, but they even enjoyed it as if
they had deserved it.
Connor asked, “Ellie, why are both of you here together? Is there anything we can do for you?” His expression was kind of strained.
He couldn't even bring himself to look Jared in the eye, because he was too ashamed to face anyone for claiming that Kevin was

Suppressing all the anguish within her, Ellen took a deep breath, saying, “Uncle Connor, Aunt Olivia, | only chere for one thing.
| can forget about the fact that you two donated my brother's heart to save Young Master Jared's life, but please giveback 7.5
million of the 15 million that the Presgraves gave you back then. Please do it within three days, or I'll see you in court.”
Before Connor and Olivia could speak, Selena exclaimed, “What? 7.5 million? Ellen, it's not like you don’t know what circumstances
our family is in! How dare you ask for 7.5 million when my parents are already broke?” She sounded as though Ellen's request was
very unreasonable in her mind's eye.
Olivia couldn’t help but pretend to look troubled. “Ellie, we're a family, so can’t we settle the issue of money through discussion?
How are we supposed to fork out 7.5 million for you in one go?!”
Ellen retorted, “How have you treatedover these years after getting so much money? The first thing you did back then after
getting the money was to packoff to Grandma. She borrowed money from you guys when | fell seriously ill and got
hospitalized, but you only gave her 150 despite having 15 million! Have you lost your conscience?
Are you two still human beings?” Tears of anger welled up in her eyes. She stared at this pair of so-called relatives, unable to
believe that they had been so shameless.
