Chapter 1783 Ellen Reiss
“Ellie should be back soon, and she’s probably on her way. She had to change her shifts to make it here today,” Jessica Aguirre said. She was the elderly woman who had adopted Ellen Reiss.
When Ellen’s name was mentioned, Selena’s head shot up, and a flash of superiority lit up her eyes. She had nothing better to do and was curious to see what Ellen, whom she had once despised, had become.
Selena despised Ellen because her family had fostered Ellen and her brother for a year when they were young. Despite her young age, Selena never overcame her animosity toward Ellen, especially after she realized Ellen had a beautiful doll that she had always wanted. However, Ellen never gave it to her, and Selena hid it, which resulted in her father spanking her. Although her only recollection of Ellen was from their childhood, the vengeful nature of her character meant that she would not let the memories fade. She was relieved that Ellen’s brother had died of illness because otherwise, she would despise them even more.
“Mom, what is Ellen doing now?” Selena asked curiously.
Olivia turned to ask Jessica, “What has Ellie been up to recently?”
“She currently works part-time at a cafe. Moreover, she recently graduated but has yet to find a suitable job.” A worried look crossed Jessica’s face as she answered.
Selena snickered when she heard that. So, she’s working part-time in a cafe, huh? I was hoping she’d do better than that!
After the newlyweds made their grand entrance, the guests were treated to a few toasts before being seated for the meal. At the same time, a young lady hopped off a bus that had pulled up to the bus station near the hotel, checked the time, and ran to the hotel. Although she was still dressed in her waitress uniform, she managed to exude a cool demeanor despite the sweltering heat. The breeze blew her bangs and highlighted her attractive face.
Slightly out of breath, she entered the elevator and soon arrived in the hall. She looked around for a seat, but an elder ushered her to a seat with the directors. With a bright grin, Ellen made her way to her seat while attracting the attention of several young men as she passed by. She radiated an air of mystic authority that drew people to her like moths to a flame. Then, she affectionately embraced Jessica before taking a seat beside her. Afterward, Jessica began caring for her as though she were her own child, pouring her drinks and setting out her cutlery.
