Alex thoughtfully saw Haley off as she got into the car and left.
He and Ellie just missed each other face to face, as indifferent as strangers. Ellie turned around sharply and walked in the opposite direction with her suitcase.
She was grateful that she had lost at an age when she could afford to fose. Just like now, when he ignored her, she could also turn around sharply, and that was the best ending.
Ellie still had many meaningful things to do

She believed that as long as she worked hard enough, she would stand out. She
After dropping off her luggage at her apartment, Ellie hurried out..
“Aaron!” Ellie stood at the bottom of Aaron’s workplace, watching Aaron come out with his colleagues after work, dressed in a handsome prosecutor’s uniform. She ran up happily.
Always introverted, Ellie rarely threw herself into Aaron’s arms and acted coquettishly. Aaron lifted her up and spun her around several times. Ellie was as happy as a kid.
Aaron affectionately ruffled
hair. “Promise me that every day from now on, you will smile like you are now.”
“Okay!” Ellie nodded vigorously
Several of Aaron’s colleagues praised Ellie’s beauty. Aaron generously introduced Ellie to his colleagues, his affection and pride.

“Aaron, how about we bring our parents here for Thanksgiving this year?” Aaron suggested.
Ellie had been alone abroad for so long and was hurt so badly by Haley. She had endless words to say after seeing Aaron.
“I have a small room in my apartment. I’ll buy a small bed and move in there. We can leave the master bedroom for our parents when they come,” Ellie said.
Aaron readily agreed. “Great. I’ll go pick
go pick up our parents this weekend.”
Every time they went home for holidays, they were in a rush and couldn’t stay for long. Having their parents come over for Thanksgiving would allow them to stay for a while. They could spend quality time with them during their time off work.
The next morning, Ellie cleaned the apartment from top to bottom and then went out to shop.
At noon, she took a break to meet Lacey and was
taken to a resta
Looking at the exorbitant menu the waiter handed her, Ellie subtly placed it on the table. “Lacey, you don’t have to spend so much.”
“Don’t worry, I’m
only treating you. No one else gets a drop of my water!” Seeing Ellie’s reluctance to order, Lacey personally ordered two sets of meals.
Ellie hesitated and didn’t insist further.
Many of her classmates and colleagues said she was too cold, too much of a homebody, and too quiet, needing to socialize more and spend time with friends.

In fact, she was not cold by nature. Like other girls, she also liked pretty hair clips and beautiful–dresses. She also enjoyed shopping and chatting with friends about their inner thoughts.
But she had no money, so she could only stay alone. In this world, all relationships require money to maintain, without exception.

After the waiter served the meal, Lacey poured a glass of juice for Ellie and handed it over. “I’m relieved to see that your face is scar–free. I should have chopped off that bitch’s hand!”
Mentioning Haley, Ellie pursed her lips.
Seeing Ellie’s patience, Lacey felt frustrated: “The meek are exploited; when it’s time to fight back, you must stand can’t let such shameless people have their way!”
- up. You
Ellie clenched the juice glass, the sense of helplessness in her body was so evident. She said, “Lacey, do you remember that time in Jinerity?”
When Ellie was a college girl in Jinerity, a rich student tried to force himself on her after she rejected his advances.
She immediately called the police. There were surveillance cameras and witnesses, but the rich guy was released that night. The rich guy arrogantly blocked Ellie’s way, threatening to destroy her and continuously harassing her. When Ellie called the police for the second time and sought help from the school, he school leaders advised her to let it go and threatened . her with expulsion.
If it weren’t for Layton happening to be at Jinerity and helping her settle the matter, Ellie didn’t know what the outcome would have been.
“The injury assessment result in Ameria was only second–degree Even if I report to the police, even if Aaron makes the video public, do you think she would be punished?” Ellie said.
