“You’re right! I can’t find it! Did they take it down?” Her friend on the other end of the call happened to have contact with the media, so she suggested, “I’ll ask around for you! I have a close friend there.”
“Quickly, then. Find out what’s going on.” Selena really wanted to know. She was worried that Jared hadn’t seen it yet. This could be the best evidence that could break Ellen and Jared’s relationship.
Her friend called her back not long after.”The staff there said that the news was taken down. Someone also warned them to watch out.” “What? Who was it?”
“My friend didn’t tell me, but she said that any scandals about Ellen are not allowed to be reported in the future, or the media company will be sued. My friend also said that even their boss was trembling in fear. Can you imagine how scary the person who warned them is?”
Selena’s eyes immediately went wide when she heard that. Did Jared take care of it? Lambert couldn’t have been the one who did it, and it’s not like Ellen is capable of doing something like this. After giving it some thought, she decided to shamelessly call Lambert.
“Hello?” Lambert’s magnetic voice rang out. ‘Hello, Mr. Orey. I came across news about you and Ellen this afternoon, but I can’t seem to find it now. Did you have it taken down?”
“It wasn’t me.” Lambert actually saw it earlier, but it had been taken down. It was obvious who did it. “Who else could it be, then?!” Selena pestered.
She wanted to get an answer. “It’s Mr. Presgrave, obviously!” “Huh?! He wasn’t jealous of you, was he?”
“Isn’t this in accordance with your plan? I’m warning you, don’t use me to hurt Ellen, or I won’t go easy on you.” With that, Lambert swiftly hung up the phone..
Selena’s face turned red in an instant. Even though she was home alone, she felt that she had become someone Lambert hated. She had also picked up his protectiveness for Ellen from his tone.
I don’t understand. She bit her lip. What does Ellen have that I don’t? Why does every man who sees her end up wanting to protect her?
She understood now that Jared was the one who took the news down and warned the media. The man did so much to protect Ellen.
Ellen, will you still like him if you knew that Jared took away your brother’s heart? Will you still love him then?
Selena suddenly looked forward to the day Ellen found out about it. But at the moment, she couldn’t let Ellen know because her parents took Kevin’s money. She will still find out the truth one day and when the day comes, she will hate Jared down to the bone!
What Selena didn’t know was that her interference was what prompted Jared to force Ellen into being his girlfriend earlier.
From the beginning to the end, Selena had been of help in Ellen and Jared’s relationship. She heard a phone ringing right then, but she saw that it wasn’t hers. Whose phone is it? she wondered.
She couldn’t help but go searching in the direction of the sound. When she found a ringing phone in her father’s pocket, she took it and answered the call.
“Connor, Nath was in a car accident! Come here, quick! He has been looking for his dad!”
The phone Selena was holding in her hand fell to the floor with a dull thud. Her eyes widened in disbelief. Who is the woman on the phone?
Who is ‘Nath’?
And who is this ‘Dad’ that ‘Nath’ is looking for?
She was in shock after she answered the call. She was no fool. A thought soon came to mind -the woman on the phone was her father’s mistress, and ‘Nath’ was her father’s illegitimate child.
“How could this be? How could Dad have a mistress and another son?” Selena was overwhelmed by what she had just found out. The first thing she thought of was that she now had a competition over the family property.
She thought that Connor wouldn’t favor sons over daughters. Due to her mother’s body that wouldn’t support another pregnancy, Selena was the only daughter Connor had. She never would have expected her father to have an illegitimate child. In other words, the family’s property would not belong to her alone in the future.
Her head felt like it was about to explode. She couldn’t imagine how angry her mother would be when she found out about this. She doubted this house would still feel like home.
Chewing her bottom lip, she looked at the phone and called back the number earlier.
“Is that you, Connor? Nath was hit by a car and we are at the hospital. I have no money with me. Can you send me some more to pay for his medical expenses?”
“Listen up, you homewrecker-I’ll kill you if you ask for my father’s money again. Take your b*stard son and piss off.”
“Lena, is that you? I know it’s you!” Not only did the mistress not panic, but she also seemed to know who Selena was.
Selena was caught off-guard upon hearing that. “Why do you know my name?” she hissed. “Of course, I know your name. I met you when I first knew your father.”
“Who the hell are you? How dare you, you homewrecker?!” Selena was so enraged she wanted to tear the woman apart.
“Where’s your father? Nath is his son. He has to take care of our boy.” The woman on the other end of the call sounded righteous when she said that.
“I am my father’s only child. My father isn’t even the father of your son. Try taking what’s mine and I’ll come for your necks!” Selena roared and smashed the phone on the floor.
She hated her father for having a child outside of their home. She was deeply hurt when she felt that she was no longer the apple of her father’s eye.
She used to be proud of being her parents’ treasure whom they pampered and loved, but now she realized how ridiculous her thoughts were.
Looking at her luxurious home, Selena was overwhelmed by the feeling that the money her father had no longer belonged to her
Ellen was preparing for her date with Jared tonight. She picked an off-white dress and put on simple make-up. She was born with a face that looked good both dolled up and without makeup. Wearing less makeup made her stand out more.
Her long hair was casually flowing down her shoulders. With her hair framing her petite face, she gave off the feeling of a young and lively lady.
At 5.30PM, she received a call from Jared saying that he was on the way.
After the call, she went out to wait for him at the gate of the housing area with her bag in her hand. Out of nowhere, a middle-aged woman stepped out of a car with her assistant and handed a business card to Ellen, who was waiting for her ride. “Miss, I am a manager for an entertainment company. You are very beautiful. Are you interested in entering showbiz?”
Ellen didn’t expect to meet a talent scout like this. As such, she couldn’t help but smile and wave her hands in rejection. “I’m sorry. I’m not interested in joining the industry.”
“But I think being a celebrity will suit you well. Moreover, you have a distinguishable appearance. As long as you agree to it, we can immediately package you and make you al dazzling star.” The woman really wanted Ellen to sign with her and she refused to leave. She thought that Ellen might be short on money, judging from the simple outfit she had on.
However, the woman heard the low roar unique to sports cars at this moment. She couldn’t help but turn around, only to see an expensive sports car elegantly driving up to Ellen. Seeing this, Ellen politely refused the woman again. “Thank you, but I really am not interested.”
After she finished speaking, she opened the door of the passenger seat of the car and got in. The manager quickly leaned over, and she saw the noble and charming man exuding the air of a wealthy family’s son in the driver’s seat. She instantly understood then.
Ellen wasn’t short on money at all! Even with all the artists she handled, the manager didn’t have the resources Ellen did. “Who were they?” Jared asked out of curiosity.
“Talent scouts. They were asking me if I would like to enter the entertainment industry. I have met many people from this industry before.” Ellen was not surprised by their approach.
“Don’t pay attention to this kind of people in the future.” Jared was angry for some reason. These people often claimed that they were scouts when all they did was look for beautiful women to send to ‘unclean’ places.
“Mhm, I know,” she murmured with a smile.
When Jared stopped at a traffic light, his eyes shot up and down at the woman beside him. There was an impure light in his eyes. She’s so charming even though she’s casually dressed, he mused.
He decided to buy more pretty clothes for her after they had their dinner. He wanted her to wear nice clothes for him to see every day.
