Chapter 200
Haley was about to head toward the staircase when Evan and his team stopped her..
Seeing Nancy about to slap her, Haley glanced at Ellie, held back her feelings, and turned to leave.
After Haley left, Ellie changed her clothes and went to work.
Everyone thought Haley had left, but she was still lingering at the entrance of the Warren Manor.

When Haley saw Ellie coming out of the Warren Manor, she quickly approached and, unusually humble, tried to take Ellie’s hand. “Ellie, what’s really going on with Alex?”
Haley noticed that Ellie wasn’t going to acknowledge her, so she stepped forward again.
Haley noticed that Ellie wasn’t going to acknowledge her, so she stepped forward again.
She said. “Ellie, I realize I’ve done a lot of wrong things in the past. I’m sorry. I was wrong. I’m Alex’s fiancée, and you’re her sis. From now on, we’re family. Let’s get along well
“Haley, the issues between us can’t be resolved with just an apology. I’ll never forgive you!” Ellie’s gaze was cold, her words filled with sarcasm.,
Haley didn’t expect Ellie to be so unyielding. Her expression changed immediately. “Ellie, why have you changed like You weren’t like this before!”
Ellie gave Haley a look before getting into the car and leaving-
People always said she had changed, but no one ever asked what she had gone through.
this?
She endured those painful and unbearable days all by herself. Only she knew how much it hurt and how deeply she was
wounded.
She could let go of the past and stop dwelling on it, but that didnt mean she forgave.
During lunch break, Ellie invited Aaron to lunch, and they happened to run into Mark.
The three of them were in a small diner near the hospital. Ellie akwardly handed Mark a napkin. “Mark, why don’t we find another place?”
She had never known that Mark was one of the sons of the Grant family, one of the four big families in Jaslands
It was really a bit much for him to join her for lunch at this small hole–in–the–wall place.
Mark glanced at Aaron. “What’s so strange about it? If Mr. Thompson can eat here, then I can too: Aaron just similed without saying anything.
A plate of crawfish was brought over, and before Ellie could reach out, both Aaron and Mark put on disposable gloves at the same moment. Both of them put the peeled crawfish on Ellie’s pute.
Ellie looked down at the shrimp on her plate, then at the two of them, and they all shared a smile.
“Girls should eat more; being a bit plump is cute.” Mark said, peeing a few more shrimp for Ellie.

Ellie stared at the shrimp on her plate, feeling both happy and a bit uneasy.
Living with the Warren family for over ten years, tasks like peeling shrimp and crab were always done by the servants. If the servants weren’t around, she would do it herself.
She was always the one peeling shrimp for Alex; he was used to it, and so was she.
During the meal, a whole plate of shrimp was peeled, half each by Aaron and Mark, most of which was given to Ellie.
Aaron didn’t ask Ellie about her recent life with the Warren family, nor did Mark ask about what happened at the welcome home party that day.
Returning to the Warren Manor after work, Nancy called out to Ellie at the staircase, “Ellie, go check on that little rascal later, and see if you can poke him awake with a needle. Make sure he hasn’t really dozed off for good.”
Hearing that Alex hadn’t woken up yet, Ellie couldn’t help but frown. Ellie chatted with Nancy for a bit before heading upstairs.
Ellie went back to her room, took a shower, changed clothes, and then studied to prepare for exams. She was busy until ten ock when she finally finished.
Before going to bed, Ellie remembered what Nancy had reminded her about, so she gathered her things to go and check
Remembering how Alex had gone crazy last night, even biting her and almost pulling her skirt up to her waist, Ellie turned and changed into long pants and a long–sleeved shirt in the closer.
She pushed open the door to Alex’s bedroom, finding only a dim light strip illuminating the room.
