Alexx expression softened. “Ellie, you’ve been part of the Warren family for years. If you ever side with them, I’ll make sure you know better,” he said with a hint of a smile.
Elbe just forced a bitter sinile.
Just then, Alex’s phone rang, cutting into their conversation. He checked the caller ID and smacked his forehead, realizing hed almost forgotten something important. He gave Ellie a quick look to quiet her and answered the call.
“Hey,
“Hey, hule brat! Why haven’t you brought my darling back yet? his mom’s voice boomed, so loud that Alex had to pull the phone away from his ear. He switched to speakerphone and warned Ellie with a glance. “Mom, Ellie isn’t mad at me, so why are you shouting”
He covered the receiver and leaned in to whisper to Ellie. “Tell my mom you’re not upset, or you’ll be in trouble.” Then he handed her the phone.
Elle looked up at Alex, met his stern gaze, and softly said. “Nancy. I’m not angry.”

Alex quickly hung up the phone.
If it weren’t for my mom’s constant nagging. I wouldn’t even be here, Alex said casually, with a hint of disdain. “Ellie, Haley will be mine sooner or later. I’m just helping her see the difference between her and Aaron. What I said at the hotel was
Alex’s words made Elhe feel both sad and angry. It was true that her brother had always worn Orion’s old clothes, and their family was so poor they barely had anything.
The Warren family’s support had been crucial for her and her brother to graduate. If Haley and her brother ended up together, it would feel like Haley was marrying down, like a chanly case… and that was true too.
While she felt embarrassed and hurt, there wasn’t much to hold a grudge over. However, Alex’s tactics–forcing her to lose her internship to get her to help him pursue Haley, and putting her brother at risk–had left a bitter taste in her mouth.
Ellie decided to stop arguing and focused on tending to her wound. She grabbed a small mirror from the drawer and started
to change the bandage on her forehead. No matter what Alex said, she wasn’t going to take them the drawer and started
Alex felt the conversation was getting boring and walked over to the desk. “Alright. I’ll let it go since you’re hurt,” he said, reaching out. “Lift your head, I’ll help you.” he insisted, taking the medical swab from Ellie’s hand
When Elle remained silent, Alex applied a bit more pressure with the swab.
He waited for her sharp intake of breath, and then said, “Ellie, it you can convince your brother to leave Haley on his own, or find a way to get him out of Jaslands, I’ll give you anything you want: a house, a car, money, fame… just name it.”
Feeling the warmth of Alex’s fingers as he applied the bandage. Ellie thought about the things he was offering-
A luxurious house, an expensive car, and the fame and fortune that many people spend their lives chasing. Everyone wants those things. She believed that if she helped Alex, he would keep his promises. But life is more than just material
possessions
“The only reason I agreed to help you is because you forced me Ellie said, putting the cotton swabs, bandage, and scissors back to the box. There are many things in this world that can be measured by money

Alex raised an eyebrow. “Like what?“.
“Like family, friendship, love, life, companionship.
They exchanged glances in the small apartment, and a brief silence fell.

After a moment. Alex burst into laughter, a carefree and uninhibed sound. “Ellie, without money, family, friendship, and love all become meaningless.
Ellie didn’t feel like arguing anymore. The most valuable things in life are often free, and what’s free is priceless, but what’s priceless is also the least appreciated.
Seeing her silence, Alex continued, “Ellie, your brother being with Haley will only bring her down. It’ll lower her social status, reduce her quality of life, and embarrass her in front of others. That’s not love; it’s selfish.”
“No, their feelings are genuine,” Ellie said softly but firmly. “I trust Haley. She won’t break up with Aaron because of you or any external factors”
If Haley were really materialistic, she wouldn’t have turned down all those wealthy guys to be with Aaron.
Just as Ellie finished speaking, Alex’s phone chimed with a message. He glanced at the photo that had just come in and grabbed Ellie’s hand. Tm taking you somewhere,” he said.
