Ellen took his arm, saying, “Let’s go.” Olivia’s eyes were full of bitter resentment as she followed the couple with
her gaze. She looked back and scolded her husband, saying, “Connor, why did you give her the money so readily
just now?! Now we’re not getting anything!”
Jared took Ellen to a bank nearby. After confirming that there was indeed 7.5 million in the bank account, he had
the amount transferred to her account immediately.
However, Ellen wasn’t delighted by the sight of the phone notification showing the account balance. Instead, her
heart was heavy, and her feelings were complicated.
“It’s still early, so let me take you somewhere for fun. Let’s go!” Jared said to her in an attempt to make her happy.
Ellen nodded before getting into the car with him.
Meanwhile, Olivia and Connor quarreled as they left the cafe. In the end, Connor left first by cab in a fit of rage,
leaving Olivia at the entrance to the shopping mall. With no alternative, she had no choice but to call Selena.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter getting the phone call, Selena hurriedly took a cab here to pick Olivia up. When Olivia told her about their
family’s situation, she immediately got anxious. So, my family is penniless now? “Mom, have you estimated how
much money we have left?”
Olivia’s head was throbbing at this moment; she felt there was no hope left in her life. “If we go back and sell some
furniture, we can probably raise around 15,000.”
Selena replied, “Ellen’s so heartless! Does it make her happy to leave us homeless?!” She was filled with hatred for
Ellen. Now that Ellen’s gotten the 7.5 million, she’s definitely going to be very pleased with herself in the future!
After all, she just turned into a rich lady in an instant.
Olivia said, “She wouldn’t have been so cruel to us if she had a conscience. I pleaded with her today to let us keep
750,000, but she wasn’t even willing to give us a single dime!
She’s really hungry for money.” She thought that what Ellen had said at the end of their conversation was just an
excuse she had made to refuse to give them the money.
At this moment, Selena’s feelings were also complicated, because she had a big secret that she dared not tell
Olivia. It disgusted her that Connor had another family outside of his marriage to her mother.
She wondered how much money the mistress had gotten from her father with her amazing capabilities. She
must’ve gotten a lot of money from Dad. Perhaps they’re even better off than us! “Mom, you have to keep an eye
on the money at home. Don’t let Dad spend the money out there.”
Olivia replied, “How much money could your dad spend, anyway? He only spends money on drinking tea apart from
smoking.” She was still not alerted even now. In her mind’s eye, Connor was frugal despite his incompetence. His
monthly allowance wouldn’t exceed 150 apart from the money he spent on gas.
“Mom, you have to control the purse strings of our family. We can’t let Dad do that anymore,” Selena insisted
vehemently.
Olivia asked, ‘Lena, I gave you 15,000 before. How much money do you have left now?” At this moment, she hoped
that Selena would spend more thriftily.

spent several thousand in: the blink of an eye while staying at a five-star hotel over the past few days. “Mom, I
don’t have much left. I have only about 3,800 left in my bank account.”
“How could you spend so much money in just a few days?!” Olivia’s head instantly throbbed again in anger. ‘You
can’t spend money like this anymore. Our family can’t afford to let you be so extravagant anymore. We all have to
live a frugal life from now on.”
Selena felt very displeased as she listened to this. Olivia had never said such things before, but now she
reprimanded her like this.
When they returned to the Aguirre Residence, Connor was already packing their belongings. He had rented a three-
bedroom house from a friend and was trying to move to a new house tomorrow.
However, Olivia protested the instant she heard that the house was in Lockwood Village, where she had lived
before. “It’s so out of the way! How are we gonna go shopping in the future?!”
“How are you gonna go shopping when we’ve got no money anymore? It’s nice enough that we have a place to
stay and have food to eat at the moment!” Connor barked at her.
Olivia was stupefied for a moment. “Can’t you rent someplace else instead? We can’t even hold our heads up if we
move back and run into someone we know.”
