By then, Ellen was already hiding out at a hotel. When she recalled Lilac and her family’s attitude, anxiety and terror overcame her, for she never knew that her relationship with them. would end up so ferocious.
While lying in bed, she grabbed her phone and suddenly remembered she had to thank someone, so she found Jared’s number and typed out her gratitude in text..
“Mr. Tillman, thank you for helping me with such a huge favor. It’s thanks to you that I got back the compensation funds. Next time, I’ll treat you to a good meal.
After sending that text, she did not expect he would reply so quickly, ‘You don’t have to thank me. The money is supposed to be yours in the first place.
Ellen wanted to tell him more about her current situation but went against it later because she did not want to bother him, so she bid him goodnight.
The following day, she did not dare to turn on her phone because her phone would blow up once she did.
.That was because the Andino siblings were out looking for her! Moreover, they found out from Olivia where Ellen was working-the Presgrave Group’s reception area. That was why the Andino siblings decided to wait for her there.
With Selena’s help, she received news that Ellen had not been coming to work these two days because she was on leave and would return to work tomorrow. Therefore, the Andino siblings knew when she worked as well.
When Selena heard from her mom that Ellen had received a million dollars of compensation funds, she, too, was jealous. All her current expenses did not even reach such a massive amount, yet Ellen had already become rich overnight.
Selena also knew that Lilac’s family was chasing after Ellen for her compensation funds, and her thoughts were the same as her mom’s
-both wished that Ellen would divide and distribute the money among them. There will be an exciting show at the company tomorrow. I’ll get Mom to inform me, and I’ll head to the lobby to watch the show!
On the other hand, Ellen was ready to head back to work. At 8.30AM, she arrived at the company and changed into her uniform. Then, she sat in her seat and began organizing the documents.
“Ellen, someone came looking for you yesterday. He says he’s your relative,” said the .colleague beside her, who leaned over. Shock took over Ellen’s face. “What did he look like?”
“It was a man, but he doesn’t have a good attitude. Did you offend some big shot?”
Hearing that, Ellen became nervous as she remembered that Selena knew where she worked, so Garrett and the others should be aware too.
“No, they’re my relatives,” Ellen answered honestly. “What kind of relatives are they? would’ve thought they came here to settle scores with you!”
At that moment, Ellen felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. Will they be coming again today?
Around 9.30AM, Selena received a call from her mom, saying that the Andino siblings had left home. Her lips hooked into a smile as she thought, This time, Ellen will lose her job! That’s not all, for she will also be humiliated!
At 10.00AM, Ellen suddenly felt anxious. It was then that she saw the Andino siblings appear at the entrance to the lobby, and her face instantly paled. Though they were the ones who were being unreasonable, they seemed more assertive and terrifying.
“So, you do work here, Ellen,” Garrett called out. He was already in his late forties, yet he did not look like an elder. Instead, he behaved more like a debt collector.
“Ellie, we don’t mean to make things difficult for you. Just divide the money according to how we discussed it! Hm?” Nicole suggested gently.
“I won’t share any of the money with you.” Ellen decided not to give in at the last moment. No matter the reason, she did not need to share her money. It was not out of greed but to defend her rights.
“Hmph! Look at this brat. She’s so greedy at a young age and wants to keep all the money to herself.” Garrett’s tone was filled with sarcasm while looking at his siblings.
