Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1954

Chapter 1954

Why is Young Master Jared here too? Olivia and Connor exchanged a brief look. It’s gonna be difficult for us to say it this time. They sat down. When the waiter approached them, Olivia ordered a cup of coffee for herself and a cup of tea for Connor.

“Ellie, we’re really sorry. What happened in the past was our fault. We’ve mistreated you as your elders, Connor sincerely apologized.

Jared eyed the couple with his penetrating. gaze. Seeing through their lingering resentment, he figured that they were going to play the misery card to gain Ellen’s sympathy. He said with a squint, “She’ll let you off as long as you guys give her share of the money back to her.”

“Aren’t you busy today, Young Master Jared?” Olivia asked with a forced smile. ‘I’m keeping Ellen company today,” Jared answered. “Young Master Jared, can we talk to Ellen alone? Connor pleaded.

Jared reached out and wrapped his arm around Ellen’s shoulders. “I’m Ellen’s boyfriend, so I don’t think there’s anything that I couldn’t listen to. Mr. and Mrs. Aguirre, just spill it if you’ve got something to say!”

Connor and Olivia exchanged another brief look, feeling so embarrassed that they didn’t know what to say for a moment. Jared said, “If you’ve got nothing to say, then. please give the 7.5 million to Ellen. We’ve got somewhere else to go.”

Upon seeing this, Olivia couldn’t help but say, “Well, Ellie, we’ve driven ourselves to the brink of financial ruin in order to collect the money. We’ve sold our house and our car, you see, yet we’ve got only 7.5 million in our hands. Your uncle and I are getting old, and we really have no idea how we’re gonna live from now on!”

Jared looked at Ellen. At this very moment, he hoped that she would stand her ground and not sympathize with them.

Ellen looked at Olivia. Hearing her aunt’s words, she indeed fell silent for a moment, which made Olivia and Connor wonder if those words had touched her and aroused her sympathy for them.

Ellen looked up at the husband and wife across from her as tears slowly welled up in her eyes. “Yeah, that’s right. You two are getting old because you spent the best years of your lives on enjoyment when you two should’ve worked hard.
