Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1804

Chapter 1804 Olivia’s Pretentious Kindness

By the time Ellen arrived home, Lilac’s family had stopped by. They heard of the

demolition payment, so they paid a visit to claim their share.

“Ellie, part of the amount belongs to you and me. Isn’t this how inheritance

works?” Her uncle, Garrett, cut to the chase. She was stunned momentarily as

mixed feelings churned in her stomach.

“That’s right! Ellie, you’ve been living with Jessica, but you’re not her biological

granddaughter. We’re supposed to be her immediate family according to the

law,” Nicole chipped in.

“So, we should split it into six among my mother, the three of us, your uncle, and

you.” Ellen was at her wit’s end. Grievance stifled her chest as Jessica once told

her that the house would belong to her and no one else.

Every nook and cranny of the place carried precious memories; it was her

home. “What’s with the silence, Ellie? Perhaps, you don’t wanna share? Are you

trying to hog everything?” Garrett’s wife was making assumptions.

“T-That’s not it.” Ellen clasped her hands together and lowered her head.

“That’s final, then! You should register your name. Once you have the money,

you gotta transfer our portions to us. You know what to do.” Garrett wrapped it

up.

Lilac’s silence indicated her agreement with their decision because of her dire

need for money to have a better life.

Although she was aware that Jessica bestowed everything on Ellen, the amount

of money was too much for her to ignore! Sharing it amongst the family wouldn’t

hurt, would it?

Everyone left once the discussion was over, leaving Ellen sitting in a corner like

a fragile animal that could not resist. Tears finally escaped from her eyes, and

pain squeezed her heart as she observed the furniture at home.
