Garrett was used to acting unreasonably. For the sake of money, he was not afraid of the young man before him, even though he knew he was not a pushover at first glance.
“I don’t f*cking care who you are, but Ellen has to leave with us.” He was even cursing at Jared.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Uncle Garrett...” This time, it was Selena who panicked because, as their relative, she would never allow them to be rude to Jared.
At that moment, eight tall and burly security guards surrounded them, with two standing before Jared to protect him.
“Do you think I'm afraid of you? Even if your president is here, I'll still take her with me.” Though Garrett was acting arrogantly, he was terrified. He did not want to go to jail without snatching a single penny.
The security guard leader wore a stern face as he warned, “Sir, our president is standing right before you. If you dare to treat him impolitely, we will throw you out of this building.” Ellen was scared out of her wits, but when she heard the security's words, she was so shocked that she could not register what was happening. The president of Presgrave Group is standing before us? Isn't that... Jared? Meanwhile, Selena took a few steps back in shock as she dared not stand beside the Andino siblings anymore.
She hid at the side and enviously watched Ellen, who was standing before the tall and well-built figure, looking small and frail..
On top of that, Selena looked at the man she thought she would never meet again suddenly appearing before her, and her heart began thumping wildly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen the Andino siblings heard that, they were dumbfounded. What? This young lad is the president? Instantly, they were terrified by the young man’s identity. Nicole tugged on Garrett's clothes. “Garrett, let's head back!” However, Jared was not going to let them off so readily > NES “The compensation fund belongs to Ellen only, so if | find out whichever one of you tries to take that from her, | will get my lawyer to send you to jail.” “By what means? We are supposed to get a share in the compensation. What's more, we are her elders.” “You are all money-grubbers bullying a weak woman because of money. Do you think you're worthy of being her elder? Jared reprimanded without mercy.
Ellen’s palms were drenched in anxiety. In the meantime, she felt sad for herself. After all, who would want to be enemies with their relatives? Still, she got to witness her relatives’ true colors because of this incident. A human being to another, they did not even treat her like one while fighting for a share of the money. As of now, she could still feel the burning pain on her cheek.
Selena stood by the side, feeling hurt and uncomfortable as she watched Jared protect Ellen by speaking up for her and backing her up. Who am 1? Just a speckle of dust that he won't care.
“Get out of my company.” After warning them, Jared ordered security to kick them out of the company.
Receiving the order, the security guard leader beckoned the others. “Get them out of here.” Therefore, the Andino siblings were pathetically dragged toward the door. Garrett yelled while trying to push the security guards away. “Ellen,. you b*tch! | will not give up on this. You can’t hide fromforever.” When Selena saw her family getting kicked out, she immediately seized the chance and clutched Ellen's arm.
Then, she asked concernedly, “Ellie, are you alright?” Stunned, Ellen looked confusedly at her concerned face. Hasn't she always acted like she doesn’t know me? “It's all my fault. | wanted Uncle Garrett to stop, but he had already slapped you. They are so mean. We're his family, after all.” Selena’s inexplicable words made her seem like she was also a victim in this incident.
Jared's gaze landed on Selena, which she mistook as recognizing her. However, she was not expecting him to ask, “Ellen, who is this?” “She's.” “I'm her cousin. We're very close, just like real sisters. Thank you for saving Ellie, President Presgrave. Otherwise, | wouldn't have known what to do!” Selena’s visage was full of gratitude as she carefully observed the man before her. At that point, her heart was pounding out of her control.
