Chapter 79
Aaron said. “She is not afraid to suffer, but it has to be her own choice.”
Alex scoffed. “Whether she’s willing or not is not up to her.”
“Aaron, I’m warning you, don’t refuse a kind offer,” Alex said, and with that he left.
Aaron entered the ward and found Ellie standing behind the door. Aaron didn’t ask how much Ellie had heard, but judging by her expression she had heard quite a bit.
“You don’t need to deal with this matter. I’ll negotiate with the police, Aaron said, leading Ellie to the small table and setting down lunch
Ellie sat down calmly and looked at Aaron, “Aaron, don’t worry about me. My wrist is just slightly bruised, and it will be fine after a few days of real” Aaron, being a public official, shouldn’t get involved in such matters. Moreover, the leak originated from Ellie’s phone, so she must handle it herself
After calming down, Ellie thought about it. It wasn’t hard to guess
who was behind such a sudden incident
Haley had repeatedly approached her and Aaron for evidence, using every trick in the book, both soft and hard.
She was such a hypocritical person, valuing her reputation and face so much, yet she could tear her face off and expose her own scandal, which Fle really didn’t expect
In this way, the evidence she had could no longer threaten Haley. On the contrary, Haley could frame her and play the victim in front of Alex.
Haley was certain that Alex would protect her and force Ellie, the real victim to clear her name.
Ellie could think of these things, and of course. Aaron considered them even more thoroughly
“The truth will come to light. I’ve provided new evidence to the police. Stay calm and wait for the final results” Aaron said. “Take these days to heal and rest”
Lo work
The next morning, after buying breakfast for Ellie, Aaron went to
Not long after he left, Nancy found her way to the hospital. Ellie got out of bed and greeted Nancy Hefore they could exchange more than a few words, they saw Alex swaggering in with breakfa
Thinking of what Alex had said to Aaron in the corridor last night and looking at her injured wrist. Ellie averted her gaze.
were fixed on Ellie’s expression
“Mom, why are you here?” Alex put the breakfast on the small table and spoke to Nancy nonchalantly, but his eyes were
“You good–for–nothing, how dare you show your face here!” Nancy rolled up her sleeves and slapped him. “I told you not to bully my daughter with your hands”
“It wasn’t intentional Alex dodged behind Ellje, pushing her in front of Nancy. “Say something for me”
Ellie said, “Nancy, Alex and I just had a little disagreement. It’s nothing serious. You know, siblings always do“
Nancy was thrilled to hear Ellie say that she and Alex were siblings. She almost jumped for joy. “My Ellie, you’ve finally agreed to be part of our family. That’s wonderful.”
“I’m so happy to hear that.” Nancy came over to hold Ellie’s hand, but Ellie was suddenly pulled away by Alex.
Alex’s eyes narrowed dangerously as he stared at Ellie. He gritted his teeth and asked, “What did you just say?”
Ellie said, “Siblings always do. Is that wrong?”
One thing was subdued by another. In this situation. Ellie could only rely on Nancy to back her up.
“No, it’s not right! Alex suddenly flared up. “We’re not siblings.
Ellie said, “But I was adopted by your mom”
Alex angrily said, “You are not allowed to say that.”
Seeing Alex’s red–eyed threat, Ellie looked pitifully at Nancy. “Nancy…
Chapter 79.
Before she could finish, her mouth was covered by Alex. Alex shouted, “If you dare to say we are siblings again, I’ll see your mouth shut.”
Elle fell silent
Nancy, witnessing this, unleashed a barrage of blows on Alex, not
e stopping until he released Ellie.
Alex pointed at Ellie and yelled at Nancy, “As long as I’m here, you’ll never adopt her
Nancy pointed at Alex’s forehead and scolded, “What business is it of yours, you good–for–nothing, if I adopt a daughter“”
Alex’s bloodshot eyes stared intently at Ellie, speaking to Nancy daughter. Il enlist in the military”

fainted upon hearing Ales’s words.
But Alex showed no signs of backing down. “If you dare to do this, I’ll die out there like my brother, and you won’t even be able to find my remains
Before Alex finished his sentence, Nancy slapped him hard across the face.

But Alex remained resolute. I mean what I say!
Tenoring Nancy’s ashen face, Alex fixed his gaze on Ellie. “Ellie, listen to me carefully. Even if my parents and my grandfather protect you, you must
I’m warning you”: come forward to clear Haley’s name. I’m not discussing this with you
With that, Alex slammed the door and left.
After Alex left, Ellie helped Nancy sit by the bedside.
Ellie knew Alex had an older brother named Orion. Almost all the clothes Aaron wore when he was young were hand–me–downs from Orion. Later, Orion joined the military, and then it was said that he died in the line of duty.
Orion was a caboo subject for everyone in the Warren family. No one dared to mention his name. Elle didn’t know the specifies She didn’t expect that Alex, in order to force her to clear Haley’s name, would say such heartless words in front of his own mother.
In the morning, Alex went to the VIP gym at the Earl Hotel
Layton was clearly surprised to see Alex. “The incident with Haley has escalated so quickly online, and the Owens family’s stock has started to plummet. How can you still be in the mood to work out!”
Alex, dressed in a pure black training suit was doing pull–ups, with sweat beads rolling down his forehead and soaking his chest and back. He continued for another two to three hundred before stopping
The two went to the rest area, where Layton handed Alex a bottle of water. You’ve been suppressing the police results from being announced; that’s not fair to Ellie.
Alex, with his elbows on his knees and head down gasped for breath. “She
doesn’t need faimes she just needs to listen to me.”
Layton looked at Alex with a complicated expression. “Haley framed Ellic by self–sabotaging, and you’re forcing Ellie to clear Haley’s name. What are you really thinking?”
Alex remained silent.
Layton waited for a long time, but seeing that Alex was unwilling to speak, he frowned in frustration. “You also said that you didn’t dislike Haley”
“You two are a match in social status, with many common topics and hobbies. You said that Haley’s appearance and family background suits you well; she’s the most suitable person for you. he sighed.
Layton continued. “Even if it’s because Haley lost her fertility while saving you, you can endlessly tolerate Haley and even her misdeeds, but that doesn’t mean others can. You’ve decided to marry Haley, so you must stay away from Ellic”
Layton paused and lowered his voice. You know Ellie has secretly liked you for so many years, and you still treat her this way. How can you bear to do this?”
Ti just asking her to clarify things for Haley and endure a little injustice, it’s not a big deal” Alex irritably twisted open the mineral water bottle and gulped it down.
Layton was about to speak when his phone rang. After answering a call from Lacey, Layton looked at Alex. “Is your phone turned off?”
