Chapter 1855
Selena sneered. “Ellen, I don’t know whether your words are true. You’re always by President Presgrave’s side, but you dare to claim that you think about him? Don’t you have a crush on him or something?”
“I know where I stand. I know that my background doesn’t match his, so I have my boundaries, Ellen retorted.
“Ohhh! Your denial means you still have tricks up your sleeve, though. Don’t think I’m unaware that you want President Presgrave to notice you. You have been dirt poor since young, so you want to rely on him to rise!* Selena was adamant about revealing the reason why Ellen got close to Jared.
Ellen’s eyes turned red due to her anger. “Nonsense. I’ve never thought about this before and never will.”
As his chest heaved up and down, he finally interrupted and stopped Selena from continuing her attack on Ellen. “Stop it and shut up.”
Selena was shocked because she hadn’t vented enough of her frustrations on Ellen!
It was only at that moment that he turned to look at Ellen and softly said, “Ellen, I’ve never cared about your background, so you shouldn’t either. Nothing is difficult if you set your heart and soul on it. If you don’t try how would you know whether you’ve succeeded or not?”
Ellen was already rendered confused by the argument with Selena, so she couldn’t understand what Jared inferred.
However, Selena did as her eyes widened. She was stunned and looked at Ellen in disbelief because she didn’t know what was going on.
At the end of the day, Jared wasn’t blaming Ellen even after Selena tried to fan the flames.
He looked at Selena before turning to Ellen with doubt. His thin lips were raised as he asked, “Don’t you understand what I said?”
Ellen nodded. “I understand!”
In actual fact, she didn’t.
