“We’ve been wondering when we’d see you, Ellie. You’re gorgeous! Come on in!” Olivia still greeted Ellen with a zestful smile. “Yeah. Please come in,” Connor said.
However, Ellen shook her head. “I won’t be going in. I’m just here to take a look at you. If you need anything, you can contact the staff members here. They’ll assist you.”
All of a sudden, Olivia wanted to take Ellen’s hand, but the bodyguard raised his hand and stopped the woman from approaching. In an instant, Olivia’s face stiffened. She’s put on airs, huh?
Jared had told the bodyguards to stop the Aguirres from approaching Ellen. She was pregnant, after all, and he was worried that the Aguirres might accidentally hurt her.
“Is this how you treat us now, Ellen? With all the bodyguards around you?” Selena snorted, feeling displeased over her mother’s treatment. “Don’t say that, Lena!” Connor scolded.
Ellen didn’t tell them that she was pregnant, and it was indeed inappropriate for Olivia to try pulling her. “I’ll take my leave now, Uncle Connor.” With that, Ellen turned around and walked toward the car.
After she was gone, Olivia’s face fell. “It’s just as I expected. Since she’s wealthy now, she no longer regards us as relatives.” On the other hand, Selena’s gaze was full of determination, Ellen’s noble demeanor had agitated her. At that moment, she decided to get the man she had bumped into the other night at all costs. A joyful Connor said, “Ellie looks so elegant and noble now.”
“So what? She looks down on relatives like us now.” Olivia snorted. The wedding would be held the next day, so the entire island was filled with a blissful atmosphere. Wedding decorations could be seen everywhere, and all the guests felt at home.
Meanwhile, a frustrated Josephine was drinking coffee. Seeing that she was still vexed, Luke appeased her by saying, “Joey, why don’t I teach that man a lesson for bullying you? Perhaps you’ll feel better that way.”
