Nancy was grinning from ear to ear and quickly helped Ellie up. From now on, you are an adopted daughter of the Warren family, and we will take care of you just like your real parents would.”
After Nancy finished speaking. Todd presented Ellie with a document in front of everyone.
Ellie took it with both hands. Thank you, Dad and Mom.”
The document was passed to Evan, who routinely opened it.
Amidst everyone’s anticipation, Evan announced the gift. The welcome gift from Mr. and Mrs. Warren is…”
Evan paused for a moment, looking at the people. “8% of the Warren Capital’s shares.”
As Evan’s words ended, the room abruptly fell into an eerie silence.
A few seconds later, a wave of shock swept through the crowd.
One said, “That’s 10% of the Warren Capital’s shares in total. How is that possible?”
Another said, “Unbelievable. You must know that Mrs. Warren only holds thirteen percent of the shares after she has been part of the family for over thirty years.”
Someone said, “They gave so much for adopting her as their daughter. Could there be some hidden motive?”
One claimed, “I heard from Ms. Haley Owens that she once caught Alex and that girl going into a hotel room in Ameria. Could she be pregnant!”
Another said, “Why hasn’t Alex shown up yet?”
“Objection.” Haley, growing more anxious as she listened to the surrounding gossip, suddenly rushed in front of Ellic.
Haley continued, “As the only heir of the Warren family. Alex didn’t agree to this. You can’t give her the shares.”

Evan quickly stepped forward and said, “Ms. Owens, you don’t have the right to speak here. Please step back.”
Haley retorted, “I’m Alex’s fiancée. Why wouldn’t I have the right
“If you’re Alex’s fiancée, then who am I?” Not far away, Diana held her wine glass, with a challenging look in her eyes as she stared at Haley.
Haley raised her hand with the ring glittering, “I don’t care who you are. I am Alex’s fiancée. Since Alex isn’t here, I have the right to speak.”
Haley snapped angrily, “Ms. Grant, even if you have a great family background, Alex doesn’t want you. Please face the reality.”
Diana dismissed her with a scoff. “Idiot”

“Security, drive her out of here.” Nancy indeed showed Haley no mercy.
Then, Evan came over with two bodyguards. However, Haley tightly gripped Ellie’s wrist and said, “Ellie, you know well that Alex wouldn’t agree to your adoption, but you insist on it. Seems like you’re not just being devious; you’re also after the Warren family’s fortune.”
Ellie forcefully shook off Haley’s hand and said, “I don’t need his approval to join the Warren family, and none of his concern.”
“Oh, really?” With a mocking snort, Alex walked into the living room.

His black casual suit made him look taller, and his meticulously styled golden ash–blond hair appeared particularly striking under the lights.
Looking into Ellie’s eyes from across the room. Alex held a smirk with a hint of sarcasm. “Are you sure it has nothing to do with me?”
Alex started walking toward Ellie, and the sound of his shoes on the floor made Ellie’s heart race with unease.
