Ellena had never been close to anyone since she was a child. When she was in school, she had always pretended to be ugly and deliberately failed the exam. That was why she had always been ostracized by others. It was only when she meet Chloe did she find a true friend whom she had treated with utmost sincerity.Chloe probably did not know that Ellena would save her back then, it was only for a moment that she thought about it, but Chloe had kept it in her mind for so many years.That year when the island exploded, she was rescued by Spencer and remained in a vegetative state for three years. When her own biological parents did not care about her life and death, it was Chloe who spent all her savings to look for her everywhere.In a sense, Chloe was more important to her than Edward.Yet, of all the people, Jasmine had chosen to attack Chloe!Ellena's eyes turned colder and colder. Her hands holding the steering wheel slowly began to tightened. Jasmine asked for it!Jasmine could do an

Ellena originally did not want to respond to Vincent, but when she raised her head and met with his somewhat disappointed gaze, she still asked, "Why?""When I was born, my mother passed away during the childbirth. And my father had always been very busy. So, when I was young, I was basically the only one eating at home alone. After I went to high school, I went out to live. Since then, I have been eating outside. If my father by chance thought of me during festivals, he would also call me to go back and have a meal with him.”Vincent's tone sounded very calm, but his eyes betrayed him.His eyes were full of regret, disappointment, and unwillingness.Perhaps it was because he was disappointed in his father, Declan Reed. Or maybe it was because he was disappointed in himself.Ellena did not know how to guess, but she caught the main point. "You don't have a good relationship with your father?""He has so many adopted sons. Each one of them is better than me, like that Spencer." Vincent

Edward took out his phone and looked at it. The word "Jasmine" was displayed on it. He did not want to answer the phone at all, so he casually threw the phone to the side.He originally planned to put out the cigarette, yet now he continued smoking until it was only the butt left, then he pressed it out in the ashtray.After that, Edward reached out and picked up the phone that he had thrown away earlier.Just as he picked up the phone, another call came.It was still Jasmine's call.Edward answered the phone expressionlessly. He did not say a word and waited for Jasmine to speak up first.Jasmine asked reproachfully, "Why didn't you answer my phone?""I was in a meeting." Edward did not even blink his eyes as he lied, without changing his expression.Yet, Jasmine's anger subsided a little and her tone softened too. She said in an aggrieved manner, "Edward, I got injured today in the wedding dress store. . ."Edward turned on the hands-free, walked to his desk holding his phone in han

Ellena paused for a moment and walked towards Edward's car.She looked around and saw that there was no one in the front row. She opened the door of the back seat and sat in it.After getting into the car, she did not look at Edward. She said in a business-like manner, "If you have something to say, quickly say it. I still have something to do."Edward seemed to have changed his posture. She felt the back of the chair shake gently.After that, Edward's deep voice slowly sounded in the carriage. "When you were looking for a lawyer, didn’t you do a basic background research? You think you can win a lawsuit by relying on a lawyer like Vincent? You’re too delusional.""I want to correct you. I am not delusional, but I trust him. I believe Vincent will win this lawsuit." Ellena knew that Edward had probably received a summons from the court."You blindly trust him. You are emotional!" The short words had an inexplicable sense of helplessness.Ellena turned around and looked at Edward. She
