Chapter 191
Listening to the loud roar of the sports car’s engine, Ellie calmly met the fierce, blood–red eyes of Alex.
His expression was so intense, and it seemed like he wanted to the gas and knock her right out of the Warren family’s
gate.
In the next moment, the sports car reversed out of the gate with smooth drift and quickly vanished from Ellie’s view.
Ellie watched as Alex’s sports car drove away, a slight smile tugging at the corner of her lips.
Since she returned home before Thanksgiving, so much had happened, keeping her emotions constantly on edge.
Thinking about how Alex almost revealed her embarrassment at the welcome home party, Ellie felt a heavy discomfort in her heart.
Now that everything had temporarily settled, she just wanted to relax and do nothing.
Aund ten in the morning, Ellie went to Encounter Bar and met Whitney
“I’ve heard about the welcome home party. At the bar counter, Whitney opened a bottle of juice for Ellie, giving her a significant look. “With your current status, working part–time here, I’m worried Mr. Warren might come to give
time
me a hard
Ellie awkwardly spoke, “Whitney, even though I’m living back at the Warren family, I don’t want to be a freeloader.”
The welcome home party was halted by Alex, so even if others didn’t say anything directly, there would definitely be gossip, behind her back.
But those comments didn’t really mean anything to her. The difficulties and harm she faces had never come from strangers.
She joined the Warren family to be on guard against Alex and Haley. In the end, she was also using the elders of the Warren family
She moved back to live with the Warren family and changed how she addressed them, but she wouldn’t take any of the Warren family’s shares.
She had her own goals and boundaries. From now on, Alex might not be her brother by blood, but he was still a brother to
her.
Whitney teased with a smile. “While you were away studying this past year, Alex and his friends spent quite a lot here. He often drank a lot, passed out in the room, and left on his own in the morning. He’s kind of pathetic, you know?”
Ellie parted her lips but didn’t reply. She thought, Pathetic? Just be thankful he didn’t harm anyone!
After making arrangements with Whitney to continue her part–tane job after a month, Ellie left the bar and saw Haley. Ellie didn’t want to bother with her, so she went straight to get a taxi, but Haley followed her to the roadside.
“Ellie, even though you’re with the Warrens, Alex is the only heir He’s had such a fight with his parents because of you. Can you really live there without any worry?” Haley said calmly, standing in front of Ellie with a restrained attitude.
Ellie lifted her gaze to look at Haley. “I’m a daughter of the Warren family, so naturally I’m comfortable living there. What’s there to worry about?”

Haley glared fiercely at Ellie, holding back the urge to run up and slap her.
“Ellie, what exactly did Carlos say to you in the sitting room last night? Why is Alex suddenly enlisting?” Haley finally couldn’t hold back and asked.
Ellie replied. “Why don’t you ask the person who told you that? It’s a lot more efficient than asking me.”
Their eyes met; Ellie remained calm while Haley was clearly about to lose control.
Seeing Ellie constantly give her subtle jabs, Haley forced herself to control her emotions and softened her tone.
She said, “Ellie, you’ve already achieved your goal of joining the Warren family. Even if Alex’s parents are temporarily upset about him being with me, he’s their only son, and eventually, they’ll accept me.
“I need you to convince Alex to stay and not join the army. Let’s leave our past grievances behind and get along.”
