They sighed. In the end, the bodyguards retreated even further to the point
where they drove their vehicles a few miles out, fearing that they might disturb
Jared.
Ellen was in a daze from all the kissing as she lay in the man’s arms, her heart
beating wildly. Feelings of fear, love, nervousness, and excitement were all
coursing through her because everything she had been through in her life up to
that point was all shouldered by her alone. Even if she were to get wronged and
hurt, she would still be alone.
This made her hug the man in a fit of panic. Jared, who felt her tightening
embrace, kissed her hair. “Did I scare you?”
“No...” Ellen replied quietly. It was then Jared noticed that her dress was rather
short. With how big the waves were getting, he put his hand around her waist
before saying, “I think we should head back now.”
Ellen nodded, and Jared led her back to the car. As they headed back to the city,
Jared's bodyguards resumed following them. When they reached Ellen's house,
it was already past midnight. Jared said deeply, “Rest up well.”
Nodding, Ellen walked into her residential district. When she turned around, she
found that Jared still had not left yet, making her feel warm inside.
Since it was the weekend tomorrow, it meant that she could sleep in. Tonight is
one of the best nights of my life.
Even though it was already midnight, in Olivia's home, Selena was having a hard
time falling asleep, as her mind was filled with the incident that night. It was
where Jared kissed Ellen and announced that she was his girlfriend.
Although Selena had never liked any man to this point, Jared was the point that
always drove her crazy.
She really couldn't figure out how Ellen was better than her. In her eyes, Ellen
would always remain a bottom feeder, a person forsaken by the heavens.
Selena also heard Jared say that if not for her parents, he would've already taken
measures against her. What do my parents have to do with the Presgraves?
Frustrated, Selena was sleepless, so she went downstairs to get some water.
Coincidentally, Olivia was also having some water in the living room, and she got
shocked by her daughter's sudden appearance.
“Why aren't you asleep yet?” Olivia asked. Sitting on the sofa with unkempt hair,
Selena. looked at her mother and suddenly questioned, “Mom, are we related to
the Presgraves?”
“How in the world could we have that honor?” Olivia sighed.
“Then tell me. Why is it that Dad managed to arrange a job for me at the
Presgrave Group with just a phone call? Where does our money come from? You
and Dad don't have proper jobs, but our household is never short on cash. What
is happening?” Selena bombarded Olivia with questions.
Olivia did not expect her daughter to be curious about all this suddenly. She took
a seat on the sofa. “What is up with you?”
“I'm going crazy because of that woman, Ellen. She was Young Master Jared's
companion tonight, and she caused me to be humiliated by others at the event.
Even Young Master Jared detests me now. He even said that if not for you and
Dad, he would've taken action against me,” Selena whined Stunned, Olivia
exclaimed, “Say what? Ellen got on your nerves again?”
“She took advantage of the fact that Young Master Jared was helping her and
didn’t even bat an eye at me throughout the event. In the end, she even asked
him to chase me out!”
“That hateful wench.” Olivia stood on her daughter's side. “Mom, tell me now!
Where do we get our money from?” Selena asked.

Pondering about it, Olivia thought
that her daughter was grown up now,
so she could not really continue to
hide this from her. Besides, if I tell
her, she might learn to be more
sensible. The content is on
