CHAPTER 1825
Okay Ellen beamed. I’ll have to adjust according to the big boss’ time, then!
After getting off work, Ellen speedily went home to pack up her clothes and some important belongings. before
grabbing a cab to the apartment she was assigned to. After settling the move-in procedure with the neighborhood’s
management, a lady from the management enthusiastically helped her carry her bags to the floor of her unit.
Soon, the elevator stopped at the twelfth floor.
Right as Ellen entered the apartment, she was thoroughly dumbfounded. She never expected that the employees
of Presgrave Group got to live in such sumptuous, extortionate homes. As such, she reckoned that the rooms must
be smaller. After all, it was meant to contain one employee only. Regardless, she was blown away by every facility

Grabbing the keys from her bag, Ellen then opened the door, and right after she pulled the door open, she saw a
lavish porch, after which she entered through the doorway, only to find herself stupefied. She was stunned for quite
a while, unable to collect herself. Shockingly, it was an extravagant apartment that was roughly 2,000 square feet,
ornamented by French windows, opulent couches, mesmerizing crystal chandeliers, and a massive TV.
She blinked her eyes repeatedly before grabbing her keys to verify the unit number, thinking, I must have gotten to
the wrong unit, right? How do I, a mere receptionist, deserve such grand treatment?
Nonetheless, the unit number wasn’t mistaken, just like everything else. This was the very unit the company
arranged for her. As such, she suspected that the company must have made some error. They must have
accidentally prepared such a grand apartment instead of a simple unit. That must be it! I’ll have to refer to Miss
Curry tomorrow so that I don’t waste the crucial resources of the company! After all, to her, a simple single-
bedroom unit was more than enough.
Meanwhile, at Connor’s place, having heard about Garrett’s matter, Olivia grew immensely frustrated. She never
expected that Ellen would be so bold as to have Jared defend her and deal with the Andinos’ desire to seize her
relocation fund. Initially, she wanted a slice of the cake, but now that the Andinos could no longer obtain the fund,
there was no way she could have it.
Nevertheless, what worried her the most was how Jared would react to the passing of Ellen’s brother given the time
Ellen and he had been friends. By then, Jared would very soon find out that Ellen did not receive the compensation
of one hundred million back then, as Olivia and the rest had been fully enjoying the benefit for the past sixteen
years, which Jared would definitely be infuriated to find out.
Olivia grew more panicked as she thought about it. She couldn’t help but shut the door in the middle of the night
and dragged her husband over to talk about it. “Connor, why do you think Young Master Jared is so committed to

Hearing that, Connor was startled, after which he hastily asked, “Lena didn’t tell anyone about this, did she?”
“Lena doesn’t even know about this. I’m worried that after seeing Young Master Jared’s wealth and influence, Ellen
might try to seduce him by any means. As things develop, Ellen might tell him about her brother’s death, and if that
were to raise his suspicion, he would certainly look into it. Consequently, we won’t be able to run away from this.
Besides, if this were to get out, the entire world would be shaming us!”
At once, Connor, too, grew hasty. He had been feeling guilty lately, and the mere thought of the consequences
scared him. “What do you suggest we do, then?”
“Why don’t we find a partner for Ellen and get her married as soon as possible? By then, Young Master Jared would
lose his interest in her. Since you’re her uncle, you should be in charge of her romantic future.”
