“I think so too. After all, being the wife of a wealthy family isn’t something that an innocent person can handle. And if you want to capture a man like President Presgrave, besides being beautiful, you need to have tricks up your sleeve and be capable on your own. Otherwise, when he dumps you one day, all you’ll be able to do is cry.”
“Let’s bet, then. We’ll see how long Ellen can stay by President Presgrave’s side.” ‘Okay. I bet three thousand on five years!” “I bet three years.” Frozen, Ellen stood in the cubicle, but she didn’t blame these two people for saying that about her because she seemed to be incapable.
She had been working hard for a living these years, striving to have enough food on the table. In the future, she really should improve herself and become someone who can shine on her own without relying on others.
Only after the two women left, did she push open the door and walk out. Her expression was very calm, and she wasn’t ashamed of being ridiculed. Instead, she was made known of her weakness. A few years later, she might be grateful for their ridicule today.
Coming out of the restroom, she didn’t return to Jared’s office. She stood at the floor-to-ceiling window on the aerial corridor, looking out at the distant scenery. At this moment, she was seriously contemplating her future because too many things had happened to her recently, making her unable to focus on planning her future.
In terms of money, she no longer lacked. For a girl like her, who had over five million in savings, learning financial management could increase her income, and the interest could support her daily life.
However, she needed to find her passion, one that didn’t involve making money. Ellen had a lot of thoughts in her mind. Just then, she heard footsteps coming this way, along with many people talking.
She couldn’t help but hide behind a pillar. When she sneaked a peek, she saw a group of middle-aged men surrounding the young Jared. They were all listening attentively to what he was saying. Their expressions were respectful and serious, not daring to show any hint of negligence.
When Jared stopped to contemplate something, the people behind him instantly stopped as well, not even daring to step within half a yard behind him. One elderly man even bowed and stepped back when he leaned. slightly forward.
These individuals were all top managers of the Presgrave Group. In terms of wealth and status, they were all top-tier members of society. Yet, in front of Jared, they all assumed such humble postures.
When Ellen saw that, she was completely shocked. No wonder those female employees were discussing me in that way. In the eyes of outsiders, Jared was a young king of the business world, someone who was admired and looked up to by everyone. So why did she deserve to stand by his side?
At this moment, she was also questioning. herself. That’s right. Why do I deserve his affection? Is it just because Kevin’s heart was donated to him?If not for this connection, I’ll be nothing more than a low- level employee in his company, without even the qualification to see him every day.
She watched as Jared and the group of men walked away, feeling a sigh escape her lips. Soon after, her phone rang, and it was Jared calling. “Hello?” she answered.
“Where are you?” he asked gently. “I’m in the washroom. I’ll be back soon,” she replied, then put her thoughts to the back of her mind before heading toward his office.
At this moment, Jared was resting on the couch, his handsome face showing a hint of fatigue and sluggishness. Despite this, he exuded a charm that could mesmerize any woman.
I’ve made a dinner reservation at your favorite restaurant,” he told her. With a nod, she answered, “Okay.” “Oh, and by the way, I’ve taken your old phone.
From now on, you’ll use the new phone I’ve given you with a new number.” He was kind enough to inform her about his arrangements. She had no objections and nodded in agreement. “Okay.”
When he received her affirmative reply, he smiled in satisfaction. With the old phone gone, the Aguirre Family won’t be able to track her down. It’s time for Selena to pay for what she has done!
At this moment, Connor was using all of his connections to find Ellen, but she seemed to have vanished completely. Her former classmates and colleagues had no idea where she had gone.
That night, Ellen followed Jared back to his home while Connor and Olivia were troubled by their daughter’s crime.
“Ellen must be hiding from us! She wants Selena to be in prison. How can she be so ruthless?’ Oliva cried. While crying, she was also throwing profanities around, seemingly as if this was the only way for her to vent her anger on Ellen.
However, Ellen knew nothing about what had happened to the Aguirre Family, nor would Jared let her know about it. He wanted the Aguirres to pay for what they did. Otherwise, they would think of Ellen as a pushover.
The next morning, Ellen sat in Jared’s car and told him that she was going to meet a friend. Initially, Jared wanted to send some guards to protect her, but she refused. Thus, he respected her decision and told her to call him if anything happened.
Then, Ellen went to where her grandma used to stay and discovered it was being demolished. As she walked down the road, she came across a park. She had walked past this park every time during her school years since it was the only road to school.
The park was also where her grandma would always play poker before she passed. Thinking about it, Ellen walked into the park and sat on a bench.
At that moment, she visioned a little girl carrying a backpack while crossing the street. Slowly, the little girl turned into a teenage girl and then a woman.
Just as she was immersed in her thoughts, she heard a voice calling out for her. “Are you Ellie?” Ellen raised her head and saw an older gentleman looking at her. Immediately, she recognized who he was. “It’s me, Mr. Linton. I am Ellie.”
“It’s been a long time since I last saw you. Come here. Mr. Rowlsey has to go to the bank, so why don’t you take his place?” said Brook Linton, the polite gentleman.
It was only then Ellen saw they were playing chess! Then, she walked toward them shyly and sat in front of Brook. “I might have forgotten the rules, Mr. Linton.”
I’ll teach you again then. You are the only girl who has won against me in chess at this park!” After Brook finished his words, he moved at black chess piece on the board.
Looking at the board and the white pieces, she grabbed one of them and placed it on the board. At that moment, she was calm. Ever since she was born, she had lived in that area. Brook used to be the champion of chess.
Then, he became a coach. However, his career ended due to a lack of management, and he could only play chess in the park as a hobby. This was when he found a little girl with a talent for chess. Hence, he taught the little girl how to play chess when she was seven. Whenever she came to the park, he would teach her patiently.
During the girl’s high school years, she played six rounds with him and won four.. Unfortunately, the little girl was nowhere to be seen after she had gone to college.
And that little girl was, in fact, Ellen. Ellen had a unique talent. Whenever she played chess, she was able to clear her mind and focus on the pieces.
Ellen had lost the first round, but Brook encouraged her to try again. In the next round, she focused and won only by a fraction. Again, Brook praised her, saying, “I knew you were gifted since you were young, Ellie. Do you know that? If not for your Grandma’s opposition, I would have taken you as my apprentice.”
“Really?” Ellen was shocked. “Of course. I want to train you as my successor, so you can compete in local tournaments as I did!” Brook was not lying to her.
Hearing his words, Ellen giggled and said, “You think too highly of me, Mr. Linton.” “Don’t be humble now. You are gifted. It’s not too late if you want to learn it now.
This new generation only wants to make big bucks, and little are they interested in searching for inner peace!” Brook sighed. “If you want, I can train you. I’m already an old man, so I hope that someone will be able to carry on my legacy.”
Ellen looked at him in pity. At the same time, she was also looking at the board. When she put down the final chess piece, Brook’s eyes widened, and he exclaimed, “You won again! How can this be? You must have found a loophole while I was talking. Let’s play again.”
“It’s getting late, Mr. Linton. I’ll come by another time.” Ellen smiled. Although Brook was reluctant to let her leave, he still obliged, promising they would play again next time.
Then, Ellen took a cab and headed toward the Presgrave Group. When she entered the hall, the receptionists looked at her enviously. After all, everyone in the company had considered Ellen as Jared’s girlfriend.
Just as Ellen arrived at the head office and was going to enter Jared’s office, a female assistant approached her. ‘Please wait for a moment, Miss Reiss. President Jared is entertaining someone.” She stopped Ellen from entering the office.
“Okay’ Ellen nodded. Then, she headed toward the washroom. Just as she entered the cubicle, she heard footsteps coming in. Two women were talking as they walked into the restroom.
“Oh my god! You saw it too, right?! President Jared’s friend is so beautiful!” “I heard that he had hugged her as soon as they saw each other. They almost kissed.” ‘Really?!”
“I saw it with my own eyes. That woman looked like she came from the riches. Like, OMG! I never knew President Jared had so many girlfriends!”
When Ellen heard their words, she froze. A woman in Jared’s office? “Oh! Have you seen the news about Ginovia? She had the perfect wedding, but now she is miserable.
Her husband was out drinking and flirting with other women while she raised the children and took care of him. In the end, although she had raised her three children to be outstanding, she was kicked out of the house.
Then, her husband married another woman. who had the same status as him. Aren’t the tycoons complicated?”
“That’s right! I heard she became married into Prusle Family because her father had lent at helping hand to Old Mr. Prusle. Thus, the Prusles took her in to repay Ginovia’s father. I remembered it was shocking news! Everyone thought that she would be living in her dreams. Unfortunately, even she couldn’t escape the fate of being dumped!”
‘That is why you can’t choose a wealthy man as your husband. You can only think of them as your lover. After hooking up with them, take the money and leave. Sometimes, it’s better to do this than being a wealthy man’s wife.”
