Chapter 1930
Jared retreated to the door in the face of her emotional reaction. “Ellen, it’s all my fault. I ran into a serious accident when I was ten. I was barely hanging onto my life when my parents sent me to the hospital.
We contacted your uncle, and he agreed. I cannot be any more grateful to your brother. I was able to survive, thanks to him, and my family is eternally grateful to yours.
It is only today that I found out you didn’t get your due from the agreement. I’m hurt and angry at your uncle’s family. Ellen, please give me another chance to make it up to you.” Tears welled in his eyes because of how painful it was to see her in such a state.
Like an innocuous beast in despair, she mired into a self-destructive predicament. She raised her head, revealing her hatred-filled eyes. “You done? Get out.” “I’ll go, but promise me that you won’t do anything silly.” He was worried.
“No matter what I do, it’s none of your business. Do not make me hate you more, Jared Presgrave. I’ll get out of here and the company. and I won’t touch any of those things you bought me. I don’t wish to see you ever again.” Her voice spoke of determination, albeit soft.
The foreboding of losing her spurred Jared’s anxiety, but he tried to soften his voice. “Ellen, we can work this out. Please don’t leave me.”
She approached him with reddened eyes and placed her hand against his chest, whereas the man was confused by her actions. The steady heartbeat rendered it impossible to fight back the tears in her eyes; he dared not move a muscle, letting her be.
