Alex’s luxury car slowly pulled to a stop, and the door was opened from the outside. Alex was not
Alex was not in
a hurry to get out.
Alex turned his head to look at Ellie, paused for a few seconds, and said, “Today, you most clear up this matter for Haley. Do not indulge in any sentimental responses to anyone’s questions and do not cause any trouble for me?
Alex continued, “In short, apart from the script you just memorized, do not say a single word more than what is written
Ellie raised her eyes and quietly looked at Alles, who was so close. She looked at his face.
In fact, during their youth, Alex had been extremely kitul in her
He often teased her, making her cry with his mean words and actions. He always said, “Ellie, you look as ugly as a rat. You’re even uglier when you
But most of the time, she could feel his care hidden beneath his caustic remarks. She could see the worry in Alex’s eyes when he scolded her loudly.
He aggressively drove away all the male friends around her. He yelled at her. “Ellie, you are not allowed to fall in love too early, or I will beat you! up*
Every time she was wronged, he always showed up. He was always extremely arrogant to those who bullied her, saying, Tim here to back her up, not to reason. If you dare to bully her again, I’ll destroy you all”
He never reasoned when protecting her. He fought like a madman för her.
All the memories were like colorful bubbles in the sunlight, beautiful and illusory, not meant to last.
Pushing her thoughts away. Ellie’s tone was surprisingly calm. “The only time I indulged in wishful thinking nearly cost me my life. I dare not do it again.”
aking, Ellie got out of the car first,
After speaking,
Her youthful naivety had left her bruised and battered, with a heart full of bitterness that the never dared to express.
Only she knew that the moments when she was the most difficult and said were also the times when she was the most lonely and silent.
Alex sat in the car, his mind replaying Ellie’s words until he was reminded by someone outside, and then he got out of the car.
Ellie followed Alex into the hotel lobby, where a crowd of journalists swarmed around them.
“Ms. Thompson, if the content of the video is true and you are the victim, why are you clearing the perpetrator’s name? Is there any hidden story behind this?” A middle aged male journalist rushed to Ellie,
The next moment, the camera in the man’s hand was snatched by Alex. “You blind idiot. Throw him out!”
As soon as Alex finished speaking, the middle–aged male journalist was forcibly removed from the scene by two security guards. The surrounding journalists who were eager to try their luck suddenly became well–behaved.
Ellie lowered her eyes and stood quietly beside Alex
He went to such lengths to force her to come here and clear Haley’s name, even using means against Aaron and falling out with his parents Of course, he wouldn’t allow any unexpected situations to happen.
“You’re finally here. Haley unobtrusively stood between Alex and Ellie.
Smelling Haley’s perfume, Ellie dodged to the side.
Haley obviously dressed up carefully, standing beside Alex in high heels and a dress. They looked like a perfect match, as compatible as could be
Haley affectionately held Alex’s arm, not at all avoiding the many journalists present. The journalists here have been waiting for a long time. Let’s hurry over
Alex nodded, glanced at Ellie, saw her standing quietly in the corner front of Ellie.

her head down, and pulled his arm free from Haley’s hold to stand in
Looking down at Ellar with a commanding gaze, he warned in a low voice, “Remember what I just told you. Don’t talk out of turn.

Ellie nodded expressionlessly. She clenched her hands, which were resting by her sides.
he could almost imagine the anger,
the
e accusations, and even the attacks she would face once she spoke up to clear Haley’s name
Perhaps sensing Ellie’s emotional turmoil, Alex stopped after a few steps and said in a low voice, “It’s just a surprises, and I’ll take you back after the press conference end.”
works. There won’t be any other
Ellie felt a wave of irony in her heart. She was not a liule child. She was well aware of what this press conference meant for her. It meant she would be cyberbullied.
She would be seen as a vicious woman by everyone. She would be seen as a homewrecker. She would be gossiped about by her colleagues and shunned by her friends. There would be endless pressure and pain waiting for her.
Thinking of Aaron. Ellie took a deep breath. As long as she didn’t die, it was all bearable. She would definitely get through
this.
Meeting Alex’s eyes. Ellie’s gaze was firm. “You said it. Il clear her name, and you’ll leave Aaron alone from now on.”
Alex said. “I keep my word”
As soon as Alex finished speaking, Ellie walked firmly towards the front of the press conference
Alex stood in place, watching Ellie’s determined back, unconsciously narrowing his gaze.
Haley, holding her skirt with both hands, stood beside Alex, watching him stare at Ellie’s back in a daze, and tried to suppress the jealousy in her heart. “Alex, let’s hurry over there”
A few minutes later, the press conference to clarify Haley’s bullying scandal in Ameria officially began.
“Ellie, thank you for bravely standing up to prove my innocence. Haley said with a proper and innocent smile, taking the initiative to show goodwill to Ellie by holding her hand in front of all the journalists.
Ellie dodged to the side by two steps. As soon as Ellie reacted, the scene was filled with constant discussions.
“There must be an inside story. Look at Ms. Thompson. She seems very reluctanc
“The Owens family is a powerful family in Jaslands. Ms. Owens has Alex’s support, but Ms. Thompson is just an ordinary person. How can she fight against them! There must be an inside story to thi
“That’s right. Aren’t we used to seeing this kind of thing?”
Haley listened to the discussions, her face becoming ashen. She looked at Alles with a pleading gaze. “Alex…”
Alex stood behind Ellie, staring at her face, and his expression darkened. The next second, Alex grabbed Ellie’s waist with one hand and pushed her towards Haley with a little force
Elbe hadn’t steadied her steps when she was intimately held by Haley. Elle tried to break free, but Haley held her even tighter.
Standing beside Ellie, Alex looked at Elle’s obvious resistance and warned, “You better cooperate.”
Ellie’s struggle stopped.
Haley looked at Ellie’s reaction, unable to suppress the rising corners of her lips, and faced all the journalists gracefully.
“Ms. Owens, seeing your good relationship with Ms. Thompson, are the videos and photos of you bullying Ms. Thompson in Ameria fake?” A. journalist asked first
Haley smiled properly, glanced at Ellie without a trace, and then said, “You all don’t know. Ellie and I have been friends for many years, and Ellie is the adopted daughter of the Warren family, and also my fiance’s sister
“Speaking of which, we are sisters–in–law,” she added.
“I know Ellie is our adopted daughter, but I didn’t know you were my daughter–in–law.” Nancy walked in wearing high heels as the glass door of the hotel lobby opened.
