My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1945
Night of Destiny
Chapter 1945
Connor hung his head. At this moment, his conscience was gnawing at him like thousands of ants.
Now that his conscience had finally returned to him, he held his head in his hands as tears suddenly
sprang to his eyes. He apologized to Ellen in a choked voice, âIâm sorry, Ellie! Iâm a wretch; I couldnât
bring myself to face you.â
Olivia turned to look at her husband. Heâs admitting our guilt by reacting like this, no? She wouldnât
admit her guilt that easily, though. She couldnât help but say to Ellen, âEllie, what are you talking
about?! In any case, weâre your elders. Weâve been nice to you over the years, no?â
Jaredâs hands clenched into fists as he looked on. Seriously, Iâve never seen such a shameless person
before! He said coldly, âYou two donât deserve to call yourselves her elders at all.â
Olivia was speechless for a moment; after all, she dared not yell at the respectable young man. She let
out a sigh and pretended to have her own reasons, saying, âYou were still little back then, so how could
we dare to give you so much money?!
We had no choice but to keep the money for you. Well, we got a little greedy and failed to stop
ourselves from spending the money, but the moneyâs really gone.â
Ellen argued, âWere you just greedy? You sent your daughter abroad to study and used the Presgrave
Familyâs connections to your advantage, but what about me? You guys have long forgotten about me!
Aunt Olivia, donât you find it ironic that I had to thank you with overwhelming gratitude when you made
me wear hand-me-downs from Selena?
You guys never treated me as one of your kin at all. You were only brushing me off like I was a beggar!â
She really couldnât forgive them for belittling her like that as she recalled Oliviaâs past doings.
Oliviaâs face reddened with shame. Little did she think Ellen would point out her intentions back then so
clearly. Indeed, she had given Ellen the hand-me-downs with a sense of superiority. At this moment,
her cheeks were burning as though she had been slapped across the face.
This was Jaredâs first time learning that Ellen had been treated like that. Clenching his fists again, he
thundered angrily, âYou guys really are a bunch of monsters!â
Selena couldnât help but shudder in fright. Jared looks so scary at this moment!
Olivia replied, âYou canât say that, Young Master Jared. How could you be still alive had my husband
and I not signed the agreement back then? You should be thanking us for that!â She immediately
brought up the favor they had done back then. Itâs true that weâre indebted to Ellen, but we donât owe
Young Master Jared anything!
Jared replied frostily, âIâm thankful to you guys for signing the agreement back then, but the Presgraves
have been kind to you guys over these years, so I consider the favor returned. From now on, Ellen is
the only person to whom the Presgraves will show our gratitude.â
âThen why should Ellen ask our family for money? Young Master Jared, canât you just give her another
15 million?â Selena said with a snort.
Ellen replied through clenched teeth, âDo you think Iâm asking for money? Iâm only seeking justice! I
want you all to pay the price for everything youâve done over these years!â
Selenaâs face flushed crimson with anger. âHow could youâ¦â
Seeing that Ellen was only seeking justice, Olivia thought they would definitely be able to talk her into
letting them off if Jared was absent. âEllie, we know we were wrong; weâre just getting what we deserve
for being greedy. It was our fault for being ignorant over these years, so can you forgive us for that?
Letâs talk this over nicely, shall we?â she asked brazenly.
âI donât want to talk about this. If the 7.5 million doesnât get credited to my account in three days, just
wait until I bring a suit against you all!â
Thinking that her parents didnât have to bear any responsibility, Selena asked with a raised eyebrow,
âOn what grounds can you sue my parents? They were under no obligation to take care of you. You
were given to your grandma back then, no? Didnât she take care of you at the time?â
Olivia chimed in, âThatâs right, Ellie! Have you forgotten our kindness in fostering you back then? You
and your brother stayed with us for a year after your parents died, no?â
âMom, whatâs the point of you trying to reason with her? Sheâs nothing but an ingrate!â Selena said with
a snort. Jared was astonished; he had never seen such a shameless family before.
