“If you don’t tell me, I’ll kill her as soon as I find out who she is,” Olivia said with reddened eyes. Connor could only come clean. “It’s Aida.”
Olivia almost fainted right then and there. Aida was her distant cousin who had divorced more than ten years ago. She never thought that Aida would seduce her husband and even give birth to his son. What retribution is this?! she thought..
Olivia wanted to die. Getting betrayed in relationships paled in comparison to getting treated like that by distant relatives. How dare Aida seduce her husband and spend their money?!
“How much did you give her?” Olivia asked furiously.
“I bought an apartment for her. I gave her five million in total,” Connor said truthfully. He lived frugally at home, but all his money was spent on that homewrecker.
Olivia was so furious that her chest throbbed in pain, and she couldn’t catch her breath. She felt that her life was already in shambles.
Their daughter was still being detained at the police station, and now, she discovered her husband had cheated on her and had an illegitimate child with a homewrecker. Her days
were spent in poverty, and she was already 52 years old. She had enjoyed life for 16 years in the past. while living in materialistic luxury, but now, she had nothing left.
“Connor, save Lena. I don’t care what methods you use-just get Lena out of there!” Olivia roared. Her daughter was her only hope now. Connor nodded. “I’ll look for Ellen.”
As for where Ellen had gone, Connor didn’t have a clue. He could only call up Benjamin, who had contacted Presgrave Group before. “Hello, who is it?”
“Mr. Stark, it’s me, Connor Aguirre. I was wondering if I could get a hold of Mr. Presgrave’s address.” “Sorry, I cannot tell you that.” On the other end of the line, Benjamin hung up coldly.
Connor was regretting everything he had done, but regret wasn’t going to help anything. They were now getting retribution for how they had. treated Ellen back then.
They had no right to ask Ellen for forgiveness. Meanwhile, at the police station, Selena was trembling as she tapped her feet. She was waiting anxiously and nervously for her father to save her. If her father didn’t save her, only jail awaited her.
She was truly regretting it now, and she was scared. She shouldn’t have tested Ellen’s patience. She wanted to live in the beautiful and vibrant world outside instead of going back to that cold, tiny room.
Jared arranged a romantic dinner to lift Ellen’s mood. Because of the slander, Ellen had been a little depressed all this while. Jared received a message from Benjamin, informing him that Connor was asking about him.
Jared glanced at it, then replied, ‘Ignore him.’ The Aguirres had always gone too far. After dinner, Jared took Ellen to a seaside hotel. for a vacation so that she could relax.
The next morning, Ellen received a message on her phone. She opened it to see a short video posted online where Connor was talking to the camera, asking to contact Ellen.
Connor had tears in his eyes as he begged earnestly to meet Ellen, evoking a lot of sympathy from netizens. He was trying to force Ellen to meet him by taking it to the internet. The caption read, ‘I am terminally ill, and I want to see my niece urgently.”
Also, since Ellen was famous, the media was more than willing to share this video. In an instant, the entire internet was looking for Ellen, hoping that she would meet her terminally ill uncle as soon as possible.
Ellen watched the video her uncle posted, seeing him wipe his tears in front of the camera. She hadn’t seen him in a year or so, and he had aged a lot. Ellen sighed lightly as she recalled her past.
After her parents passed away, her uncle had been very caring toward her and her brother, and he even took care of her brother when the latter was ill. Ellen felt that she had no choice but to have mercy.
Now that she was living worry-free, she hoped that her family could live their lives in peace and warmth as well. This was probably why she was different from whom Connor and his family used to be!
Also, there was another reason why Ellen didn’t want to turn completely against her uncle and his family. She believed in karma, so she wanted to protect the people she loved the most in her way.
