Chapter 1944
Much to Selena’s dismay, Connor vented his anger on her instead. “And you! You never showed any improvement despite all that money spent on you.”
Selena was stunned; the next instant, she was overwhelmed with disappointment. As expected, Dad doesn’t like me anymore. Only his son is the apple of his eye, huh? “Dad, you think it’s not worth spending money on me because I’m a daughter, don’t you?!” she answered back in a fit of pique.
Connor instantly looked at her in alarm. “What nonsense are you talking about?!” “You’d be happy if I were a son, no?!” Selena asked again.
Seeing that the father and daughter were falling out again, Olivia said to Selena, “Just shut up for once, Lena! Your dad has never mistreated you over so many years.”
Connor looked at Selena. He couldn’t help feeling that her eyes were full of resentment, which filled him with panic. Could she have found out about my affair?
Selena’s head drooped in bitterness; she felt that her family was no longer what it used to be.
Meanwhile, Jared’s car pulled up downstairs outside the neighborhood. Fearing that Connor and Olivia would hit out at Ellen, he had two bodyguards go upstairs with them to protect. her.
Ellen also got somewhat agitated after entering the neighborhood. She took a few deep breaths while recalling Connor’s behavior over the years, which really chilled her to the marrow.
Selena was just about to go out when she heard the doorbell ring, which surprised her. Who would drop by so early in the morning? she wondered. The instant she looked through the peephole, she was shocked to see Jared.
Jared’s here? She immediately checked her appearance before putting on a smile that she thought was the most beautiful in order to greet the man. However, when she opened the door, she realized that another person was standing behind him-Ellen.
