The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 252

Chapter 252 I Will Help You With This

Hank couldn’t shake off Jayceon’s words, which had left a bad taste in his mouth. Jayceon had said that this place belonged to Ellie’s friend, which meant he wouldn’t be able to get this place for his marriage to Angela.

This couldn’t happen!

The memory of Jayceon’s luxury watch lingered in Hank’s mind, and he quickly ran after him. He believed Jayceon must be rich.

If this rich guy had gotten Ellie pregnant, the least he could do was cough up some money. What was mere pocket change to Jayceon could probably set him up for life.

“Jayceon!” Hank called out, sliding into the elevator with a grin plastered on his face. “Don’t buy into Ellie’s tough act. When she got pregnant with your child before, she defended you a lot. Even though she said she didn’t want to marry you, deep down, she’s still got feelings for you. Otherwise, why would she keep the child?”

Jayceon knew that much, which was why he kept trying to win Ellie back. He sized Hank up–cheap suit, overstyled hair, like a wannabe hotshot.

He didn’t seem like a fool.

Jayceon responded with a casual air, “And then?”

Hank leaned in and chuckled. “Look, that kid makes you a family, Jayceon. Ellie will come around eventually. Don’t worry; I’ll put in a good word for you in front of her. But, you know, it’s not easy to do that…”

He flashed Jayceon a knowing smile.

Jayceon had already realized that Ellie didn’t like her family. He looked at Hank with a cold expressión.

Rich didn’t mean reckless, and his money didn’t grow on trees. He kept silent.

Embarrassed, Hank shifted gears. “My wedding’s coming up, and I still don’t have a place to call my own. So, here’s a win–win proposal. If I can persuade Ellie to marry you, can you…”

Jayceon immediately understood him and nodded. “Sounds like a good idea.”

They then exchanged numbers, and Hank thumped his chest with confidence. “Don’t worry; I will get the job

done!”

Jayceon draped an arm around him. “When I first started dating Ellie, my mother wasn’t exactly her biggest fan. So, behind my back, she arranged an engagement for me. Ellie misunderstood the situation and thought I cheated on her. I’ve explained the situation to her multiple times till now, but she still refuses to believe me. I really love her. Can you help me set things right?”

He raised an eyebrow, looking at Hank.

Hank’s gaze was glued to the watch on Jayceon’s wrist. He believed it was probably the real deal, not a fake.

He said, “I will help you with this.”

Jayceon noticed Ellie’s eyes on his watch and casually slid it off, handing it to Hank. “You like it? It’s yours.

Hank immediately pushed it back. “No way! I was just checking if it’s authentic, not asking for a gift!”

He meant what he said.

But to Jayceon, this watch was nothing. His dresser was a treasure trove of two dozen newer models; he

couldn’t possibly wear them all.

“Keep it; it’s yours,” Jayceon said. Standing beside his sports car, he studied Hank, who looked sharp. He didn’t

understand why Ellie didn’t like her brother.

“Want to have lunch with me? My treat,” Jayceon said.

He believed this was the perfect opportunity to dig into Ellie’s family dynamics. Also, he could please this ally.

After a quick call to Angela, Hank hopped into Jayceon’s car without a second thought.

“Dope ride!” he remarked. “What much is this car?”

He had been saving for a car since starting his job, but dating Angela had drained his savings.

Jayceon shrugged. “A couple million.”

Hank was shocked, running reverent fingers over the leather seats. “It’s wild that Ellie gives you the cold shoulder when you’re both handsome and rich. She really is out of her mind.”
