Chapter 2017

Hannie approached her and said, ‘Miss Reiss, 1 really like Jared and want to date him. Do you feel

pressured?” Ellen smiled lightly and said, “Why should I feel pressured?”

Hannie was stunned. She thought that by saying this, Ellen would panic. After all, her identity and

family background were much better than Ellen’s.

“I’ll give you a billion, Miss Reiss. Will you let Jared be with me?” Hannie directly offered money as she

thought that Ellen was only interested in Jared’s money.

She thought that Ellen couldn’t get much money since she was only dating Jared. Thus, she quoted a

price of one billion, hoping to make Ellen tempted.

However, Ellen only felt insulted instead of feeling tempted. She put aside her polite attitude and said

coldly, “Miss Quins, please don’t insult people with money. Your money has nothing to do with me, and

I don’t need it even if I’m poor. Also, he is my boyfriend. I’d advise you not to provoke him.”

“Are you threatening me? Miss Reiss, I’ve looked into your background. You’re just an ordinary girl. Are

you overestimating your own charm?” Hannie mocked with a sneer.

Ellen felt that there was no point in talking with her and said, ‘Excuse me.”

“Miss Reiss, if I were you, I’d be smart and take the money instead of competing with me,” Hannie

threatened with unprecedented confidence as if she had already won Jared over.

Ellen felt that Hannie was crazy. Does she think that every man in the world would like her?

After Ellen left, Hannie’s face darkened. She had a scheming look in her eyes; it was clear that these

were tricks she had honed through her experience in her social circles, but they were undeniably

effective in attracting men.

Ellen returned to the banquet hall, where Jared was waiting for her in the corridor outside the restroom.

He approached her and said, “Let me take you to eat something.”

She hadn’t had dinner yet, and since there was a buffet nearby, she nodded in agreement.

Soon after, Hannie arrived at the restaurant,. sporting her usual exaggerated expressions as she

attempted to showcase her charm. Meanwhile, Ellen had already taken her seat by the time the other

woman arrived.

As Jared came over, Hannie deliberately bumped into him, causing him to flinch and her to bump into

the table. She immediately displayed a somewhat hurt expression and whined, “Young Master Tillman,

can’t you help. me?”

He stopped and warned coldly, “Don’t play tricks in front of me.” “Young Master Tillman has noticed

me!” Hannie said shamelessly as she just wanted to feel important.

Jared frowned and ignored her, but Ellen saw Hannie’s shameless side and felt anger brewing inside

her. How is there such a shameless woman in the world? she thought.

After he sat down, Ellen saw that Hannie had chosen a seat next to them, eating and staring at him

with fiery eyes. She disregarded Ellen’s presence and kept circling him like a butterfly.

If it were another man, a girl like Hannie would’ve easily won him over. Ellen wanted to splash the

water in her cup on Hannie’s face to let her know what the consequences of seducing someone else’s

boyfriend were.

“Don’t pay attention to her,” Jared said, feeling extremely annoyed. He was concerned that Ellen’s

emotions would be affected.

However, Ellen couldn’t stand it anymore. She wanted to teach this girl a lesson and make her behave.

“Jared, can you get me a glass of juice?” Ellen asked him.

Although there was already a drink on her table, Jared still got up and went to get her one. When Jared

got up, Hannie also stood up since they were seated opposite each other.

As he walked past Ellen, Hannie naturally walked through the aisle next to her.
