Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel
Thinking that her parents didn’t have to bear any responsibility, Selena asked with a raised eyebrow, “On what grounds can you sue my parents? They were under no obligation to take care of you. You were given to your grandma back then, no? Didn’t she take care of you at the time?”
Olivia chimed in, “That’s right, Ellie! Have you forgotten our kindness in fostering you back then? You and your brother stayed with us for a year after your parents died, no?”
“Mom, what’s the point of you trying to reason with her? She’s nothing but an ingrate!” Selena said with a snort. Jared was astonished; he had never seen such a shameless family before.
Jared backed Ellen up, saying, ‘Ellen, I’ll provide you with the best attorney.” Olivia panicked; she thought Jared was poking his nose into this too much. “Young Master Jared, this is a matter within our family, so please stay out of this.”
“Ellen can have you all sentenced to jail just for illegally keeping the compensation payment for yourselves, Jared replied frostily.
Connor, who had been looking on, finally looked up in distress, saying, ‘That’s enough, Oli! Just shut up. We’re indebted to Ellie in the first place, so we’ll compensate her for that. We’ll sell our house and our cars to make up 7.5 million for you as soon as possible.”
“What? Connor, what nonsense are you talking about?! How could we afford to pay it back?!” Olivia was taken aback. She had no desire to sell the house or their cars, as she felt comfortable living here!
“Dad, what are you talking about?!” Selena was shocked, too. Is Ellen trying to tear our home apart? How are we supposed to raise 7.5 million with this house of ours? ‘Don’t go too far, Ellen!” she threatened while suddenly charging toward Ellen.
Connor pulled Ellen into his arms before warning in a cold voice, ‘Stay away from her!” Ellen’s attractive eyes were fixed on Selena. She said coldly, “You guys are the ones who’ve gone too far.”
Selena replied, “You’re demanding 7.5 million from us! This house is the only valuable thing we have now, and there’s still a mortgage on it! Ellen, are you trying to leave us with nothing to our name?” She was clear about the value of her family’s property. Indeed, her family could raise 7.5 million with all of their money, but they would have nothing to eat if they were to give all the money to Ellen!
Olivia also nearly passed out in anger. She walked up to Connor, saying, “Connor, I object to this! I won’t agree to sell our house.”
It went without saying that Connor didn’t want to sell the house either. However, with Jared backing Ellen up, perhaps he would really have to go to jail for what he had done over these years. He would rather go from riches to rags than go to jail to soothe Ellen’s anger. “Ellie, can you please give me some time? I’ll definitely make up 7.5 million for you,” he said to Ellen..
Seeing that he had promised her so, Ellen decided to trust him this time. She gritted her teeth, saying, “Fine, I’ll give you some time, but I must get no less than 7.5 million. Then, she turned to Jared. “Let’s go!”
Jared also didn’t want to stay in front of this family any longer. He led Ellen by the hand out of the house, but Olivia immediately came out after them. She pleaded with an imploring look, “Ellie! Wait, Ellie!
We can still talk this over! You can move in with us; we’ll be nice to you in the future.” “Ellen doesn’t lack a place to stay. She’s staying with me from now on, Jared replied flatly.
Olivia replied, “Young Master Jared, we did you kindness in saving your life back then. Can’t you let us off for the sake of this? You’re so loaded, after all.
Surely it wouldn’t be a problem for you. to give her another 15 million as compensation? Isn’t Ellen just asking for money? She could’ve demanded money from Jared as she pleases! Why does she have to demand money from us?
Ellen replied, “As I said, what I want isn’t money, but justice.” She was seething with hatred. Looking at Olivia, she couldn’t help but recall. how she had greedily asked for money.
“Ellen, what are you talking about? We’re a family. What kind of justice are you seeking?” Olivia really thought Ellen was being unreasonable. All we did was not give her a share of the money, no? Does she have to strip us of every penny for that?
At this moment, Selena came out as well. Seeing that her mother was still pestering Ellen, she had no choice but to brazen it out and said, “Ellen, can you let our family off for the sake that we’re cousins?”
Jared actually feared that Ellen would be softened up. Luckily, Ellen wasn’t softened up at all. Looking at the mother and daughter, she recalled the injustices she had suffered over these years, including how they had shown off in front of her and turned up their noses at her while spending her brother’s money, as well as how they had treated her and Jessica with indifference while living in a fancy house and driving luxury cars when she and Jessica were in the most difficult time of their lives.
“No, I can’t. I’d rather not have relatives like you guys, and there’s no way I’d let you guys off either,” she replied frostily without mercy or sympathy.
Olivia and Selena were both foaming at the mouth as they watched Jared and Ellen enter the elevator. Finally, Olivia couldn’t help but swear, “That little b*tch!”
Selena dragged her home. “Mom, we have to hurry and talk Dad out of selling the house! It’s our family’s most valuable property!”
Connor sat on the couch with his head in his hands while sinking into guilt and remorse. It was Olivia who had called the shots on many things over the years. He wasn’t heartless from the start; he had wanted to give Jessica and Ellen several thousand every year, but Olivia had stopped him from doing so. As this happened again and again every year, he slowly turned into a heartless man.
“Connor, don’t you ever sell the house! Lena and I won’t agree to this!” Olivia yelled at him as soon as she returned home.
Selena decided to let her parents refuse to pay the money as Connor had promised. “Dad, Mom is right. We’re not selling the house. We’ll see what Ellen can do about us.”
Connor replied, “If we don’t sell the house, I’ll have to go to jail! Would you rather sell the house or let me go to jail?”
Olivia continued to behave like a shrew. ‘Ellen wouldn’t dare to do that! If she dares to send you to jail, she’ll be an ingrate! You’re her uncle, after all. We’ll wear her down.”
Suddenly, Connor growled at her, “Olivia, had you not egged me on over these years, would Ellie have hated us so much? Would she hate us so much if we had given her a few thousand every year?” He blamed his wife, saying, “It was all your fault! You were insatiable! You are the reason for all of this!”
Olivia was instantly speechless for a moment; little did she think her husband would throw accusations at her. “You could’ve given her the money if you wanted!
You didn’t give her the money just because of the few words I said, huh? Doesn’t that mean you weren’t willing to give her the money as well?” She would never admit her mistakes. Whenever something wrong happened, she would always pass the buck to others.
“You… How could you…” Connor trembled all over with anger. Flying into a rage, he jumped on Olivia, raised his hand, and slapped her hard. across the face.
Olivia was stunned; never did she think her husband would hit out so hard at her. Not only did her cheek turn numb from the slap, but she even tasted blood in her mouth.
“Aah! Mom!” Selena was frightened to see her father hitting her mother. She quickly stopped Connor, saying, ‘Dad, stop hitting Mom!”
“She deserves this! Look how I’m gonna beat her to death!” Connor was mad with rage. At this very moment, he even felt the urge to kill Olivia.
Olivia burst into tears. She yelled, ‘Come at me if you have the nerve! If you dare to beat me to death, you’ll have to go to jail for the rest of your life!” Overwhelmed with rage, she wanted to slap Connor back in return, so she reached out and throttled him..
Selena tried to dissuade them from fighting, but Connor shoved her away. In an instant, the husband and wife got into al scuffle.
Selena was terrified as she watched her parents fight one another. Tears rolled down her cheeks; inwardly, she hated Ellen’s guts. What has become of my originally happy family now?
My parents were so devoted to each other before, but they’ve turned against each other now. It’s all thanks to Ellen! All of this is her fault! “Stop fighting! Stop fighting, both of you!” She rushed over in an attempt to pull Olivia away.
However, Olivia yelled at her, “Don’t get in my way, you little brat!” In the end, someone swung a punch at Selena’s face, causing her to let out a cry of pain.
Only then did the husband and wife stop to look at Selena. Clapping her hand over her face, which was red from being punched, she looked at them resentfully, saying, “I hate both of you!” With that, she grabbed her bag and stormed out the door.
Only then did Connor and Olivia come to their senses a little. They looked at each other, their resentment toward each other lingering.
“I’d never sell the house no matter what,’ Olivial uttered through clenched teeth. “We have to sell it even if you don’t want to,” Connor replied with determination.
Compared to the bedlam in the Aguirre Family, Ellen calmed down a lot as she sat in the passenger seat of Jared’s car at this very moment. It was just that she lapsed into complete silence.
After going through so many things, she finally saw Connor and his family in their true colors. People are so unfathomable. Their interests turned them into a bunch of insatiable people, making them so unrecognizable that they’re no longer the people I remember.
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 time she could do whatever she liked.
“Which area do you prefer to buy a house in? I 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.
