Jared couldn't help but look at her a few times. with concern, fearing that she would really sink into depression out of anger.
“Wanna grab something to eat?” he asked. “No.”
“Then what are your plans after this?” Ellen replied, “I'd like to buy a small house and settle down in a small home.” Her plans for
the future were simple.
If she managed to get the 7.5 million from Connor, she would be able to stay unemployed for a long time, during which tshe
could do whatever she liked.
“Which area do you prefer to buy a house in? | can go house-looking with you,” Jared immediately replied. Of course, he would buy
the house for her, too. No matter where the house was located and how expensive it was, he would buy it for her as long as she
liked it.
Ellen replied, “It's not necessary. | can go house- looking myself.” She knew the man’s intentions. Although Connor and his family

had shown them enough gratitude.
“Ellen, | want to return your kindness. Just tellif you want anything. I'll satisfy you,” Jared replied frankly. Even if she didn't
bring this up, he would return her kindness from now on in every way possible.
“l don’t want anything.” Ellen shook her head while regretting what she had said to the man yesterday. She apologized, ‘I was too
impulsive yesterday. | lost my mind after Selena suddenly said those things to me. Don’t take it to heart.”
“Why would | blyou for that? I'm the one who should apologize. | actually didn’t find out the donor's identity for such a long
time. Had | learned sooner that it was your brother, | would've shown you my gratitude already instead of tarrying until now. It was
my fault for being stupid, Jared replied remorsefully. This whole thing was my fault. | was too slow.
Ellen pursed her lips for a moment. Then, she shook her head, saying, “I wouldn't blyour for that. Besides, I'm proud of my
brother for saving your life.”
“Speaking of it, Ellen, it was magical that my heart pounded when | first laid eyes on you. It was like | was destined to get to know
you. Do you still remember?
You were carrying such a big garbage bag at the golf course that day. The instant | saw you, | felt that | couldn't bear to see you
like that,” Jared said. Ellen smiled in surprise. “Is that so? Was it that magical?”
Jared nodded; he believed that it must be the case, “It's true. | think your late brother must be hoping that | can take care of you
and protect you on his behalf.” Ellen was moved by his words. I'm so lucky to get to know him! she thought.
“Why don’t you stay at my place for the tbeing until you find a house? Your suitcase has been delivered to my place, anyway,”
Jared said, making an excuse. He had insisted that Stanley take Ellen’s suitcase to his place this morning.
Indeed, Ellen had nowhere to go. She replied with a nod, “Well, then, I'll bother you for a couple of days. Once | find a place to stay,
I'll move out.”
Jared didn’t want her to hurry, though; he was willing to let her stay at his place for the rest of her life. “Okay!” He was delighted.
I'll make use of this period to soften her up into lettingtake care of her for the rest of her life. What reason do | have for not
taking care of her? It was all thanks to her brother that | could stay alive, after all.

Jared thus took Ellen to his home. Even the scenery around them seemed to becwonderful along the way, and she relaxed a
bit as a result.
That afternoon, Connor called a real estate agent to put his family’s house up for sale. The real estate agent told him that the
houses in his neighborhood were in high demand and sold very well on the real estate market, so the house was valued at a little
over 8.5 million, which was already the highest selling price.
Connor did scalculations. If the house could really be sold at 8.5 million, he would have to give Ellen 7.5 million and pay the
mortgage’s outstanding balance with the remaining one million.
However, the outstanding balance was about 1.7 million, which meant he would have to fork out another 700,000. Because of that,
he decided to sell his car, too. This time, he was really going to sell everything they had. He didn’t even know where to get money
for his family’s living expenses in the future.
Olivia shut herself in the room while crying her heart out. Now that she looked at this house, she was really reluctant to part with it.
Still, however reluctant she was, she had to take the consequences into consideration. Ellen would bring a suit against them, and
perhaps she and Connor would have to go to jail.
