Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1945

Chapter 1945

Connor hung his head. At this moment, his conscience was gnawing at him like thousands of ants. Now that his conscience had finally returned to him, he held his head in his hands as tears suddenly sprang to his eyes. He apologized to Ellen in a choked voice, “I’m sorry, Ellie! I’m a wretch; I couldn’t bring myself to face you.”

Olivia turned to look at her husband. He’s admitting our guilt by reacting like this, no? She wouldn’t admit her guilt that easily, though. She couldn’t help but say to Ellen, “Ellie, what are you talking about?! In any case, we’re your elders. We’ve been nice to you over the years, no?”

Jared’s hands clenched into fists as he looked on. Seriously, I’ve never seen such a shameless person before! He said coldly, “You two don’t deserve to call yourselves her elders at all.”

Olivia was speechless for a moment; after all, she dared not yell at the respectable young man. She let out a sigh and pretended to have her own reasons, saying, “You were still little back then, so how could we dare to give you so much money?!

We had no choice but to keep the money for you. Well, we got a little greedy and failed to stop ourselves from spending the money, but the money’s really gone.”

Ellen argued, “Were you just greedy? You sent your daughter abroad to study and used the Presgrave Family’s connections to your advantage, but what about me? You guys have long forgotten about me! Aunt Olivia, don’t you find it ironic that I had to thank you with overwhelming gratitude when you made me wear hand-me-downs from Selena?

You guys never treated me as one of your kin at all. You were only brushing me off like I was a beggar!” She really couldn’t forgive them for belittling her like that as she recalled Olivia’s past doings.

Olivia’s face reddened with shame. Little did she think Ellen would point out her intentions back then so clearly. Indeed, she had given Ellen the hand-me-downs with a sense of superiority. At this moment, her cheeks were burning as though she had been slapped across the face.

This was Jared’s first time learning that Ellen had been treated like that. Clenching his fists again, he thundered angrily, “You guys really are a bunch of monsters!”
