Selena stopped her, saying, “Mom, don’t call her first. There's one other thing that | want to tell you.” Olivia sat down again.
Selena’s eyes reddened. She said, “Mom, the man | love, he... he actually loves Ellen! | can’t resign myself to this!” “Who are you talking about?” For a moment, Olivia wasn’t sure who her daughter was in love with “Who else can it be? It's our boss, of course!” Olivia was astounded. “Y-You mean that Young Master Jared? Are you saying he’s in love with Ellen?” Selena replied, “I didn't believe it at first, but today... When | went to Ellen in the office this morning, he said he loved her and warnednot to bully her. Mom, in what way am | inferior to her?” She was aggrieved and upset, but at the stime, she was also resentful.

That Young Master Jared is in love with Ellen? Don’t tellthat ghosts really do exist in the world and that this is the work of Ellen’s dead brother? “Your dad is to blfor this, too. | told him not to get Ellen into that company, but he insisted on doing so,” she said resentfully.
Upon hearing this, Selena couldn't help but look up in surprise. “Mom, what did you say? You mean it was Dad who got Ellen into the Presgrave Group?” Seeing that she had let it slip, Olivia had no choice but to admit, “Yeah, that’s right. Your dad got Ellen a job at that company while he was pulling strings for you.” [x Selena replied, “How could he do that? It waswho wanted to work there. Why did he have to get Ellen into the company as well?” She was beside herself with rage after listening to this.

To think Ellen and Young Master Jared hit it off so quickly as to fall in love with each other! No, | can’t let her and Young Master Jared beca couple. no matter what, or what happened before will certainly be found out. “Mom, | hate her guts,” Selena sobbed in Olivia's arms.
“That little brat will cto a bad end.” Olivia was resentful, too. At the stime, she was even more afraid of Ellen, fearing that she would learn about the truth of what had happened back then and that she would take away everything that they owned right now.

She's keepingfrom being pestered by other women. “Alright, let bygones be bygones!” he said, ending the subject. Then, he asked, “Are you still gonna quit your job, then?” Ellen asked him in reply, “Do | really have to pay eight million in breach-of-contract damages if | resign?” Jared nodded. “The breach-of-contract damages for your job are more than eight million.” Ellen involuntarily gulped at once. Then, thinking that she wouldn't suffer any losses if she didn’t quit her job, she replied with a wave of her hand, “I won't quit my job, then. I'll keep on working until you sackon your own initiative!” There's no way | can afford such an exorbitant amount of breach-of-contract damages.
Jared couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter. “Seems like you're quite sensible.” Ellen let out a wry laugh.
“I'm just doing what suitsbest at the time.” “Are you free this Friday night?” Jared asked her.
Ellen pondered for a moment. She didn’t have to work extra hours on Friday night, nor did she have anything else to deal with. So, she nodded, saying, “I am. Is there anything | can do for you, President Presgrave?” “Attend a dinner party with me.” “What dinner party?” Ellen was startled; she had never attended such an upper- class dinner party. “A charity dinner.” Ellen’s cheeks burned. She couldn't help but say honestly, ‘President Presgrave, I've never attended dinner parties before, so I'm afraid I'll make you look bad. Why don’t you invite someone else instead?”
