Love's Tangled Web (Alex and Ellie)

Alex thoughtfully saw Haley off as she got into the car and left,

He and Ellie just missed each other face to face, as different as strangers. Ellie turned around sharply and walked in the opposite direction with

She was grateful that she had lost at an age when she could afford to lose, Just like now, when he ignored her, she could also turn around sharply. and that was the best ending Ellise still had many meaningful things to do. She believed that as long as she worked hard enough, she would stand out. She would have a bright

future

After dropping off her luggage at her apartment, Ellie hurried out.

"Aaron!" Ellie stood at the bottom of Aaron's workplace, watching Aaron come out with his colleagues after work, dressed in a handsome prosecutor's uniform. She ran up happily. Always introverted. Elle rarely threw herself into Aaron's arms and acted coquettishly, Aaron lihed her up and spun her around several times. Ellie was as happy as a kid.. Aaron affectionately ruffled Ellie's hair. Tromise me that every day from now on, you will smile like you are now.

"Okay"" Ellie nodded vigorously

Several of Aaron's colleagues praised Ellie's beauty, Aaron generously introduced Ellie to his colleagues, his eyes full of affection and pride.

"Aaron, hour about we bring our parents here for Thanksgiving this year?" Aaron suggested..

Ellie had been alone abroad for so long and was hurt so badly by Haley. She had endless words to say after seeing Aaron.

"Thave a small room in my apartment. I'll buy a small bed and move in there. We can leave the master bedroom for our parents when they come."

Aaron readily agreed. "Great 1 go pick up our parents this weekend"

Every time they went home for holidays, they were

re in a rush and couldn't stay for long. Having their parents come over for Thanksgiving would allow them to say for a while. They could spend quality time with them during their time off work, The next morning. Ellie cleaned the apartment from top to bottom and then went out to shop.

At noon, she took a break to meet Lacey and was taken to a restaurant

Looking at the exorbitant menu the water handed her. Ellie subtly placed it on the table. "Lacey, you don't have to spend so much."

"Don't worry, I'm only treating you. No one else gets a drop of my water Seeing Ellie's reluctance to order, Lacey personally ordered two sets of micals.

Ellie hesitated and didn't insist further.

Many of her classmates and colleagues said she was too cold, too much of a homebody, and too quict, needing to socialize more and spend time with friends.

In fact, she was not cold by nature. Like other girls, she also liked pretty hair clips and beautiful dresses. She also enjoyed shopping and chatting with friends about their inner thoughts. But she had no money, so she could only stay alone. In this world, all relationships require money to maintain, without exception.

After the waiter served the meal, Lacey poured a glass of juice for Ellie and handed it over. "I'm relieved to see that your face is scar-free. I should have chopped off that birch's hand!" Mentioning Haley, Ellie pursed her lips.

Seeing Ellie's patience, Lacey felt frustrated. "The meek are exploited; when it's time to fight hack, you must stand up. You can't let such shameless people have their way!"

Ellie clenched the juice glass, the sense of helplessness in her body was so evident. She said, "Lacey, do you remember that time in Jinerity?"

When Ellie was a college girl in Jinserity, a rich student tried to force himself on her after she rejected his advances.

She immediately called the police. There were surveillance cameras and witnesses, but the rich guy was released that night.

The rich guy arrogantly blocked Ellie's way, threatening to destroy her and continuously harassing her. When Ellie called the police for the second time and sought help from the school the school leaders advised her to let it go and threatened her with expulsion. If it weren't for Layton happening to be at Jinerity and helping her settle the matter. Elle didn't know what the outcome would have been.

"The injury assessment result in Ameria was only second-degree. Even if I report to the police, even if Aaron makes the video public, do you think she would be punished! Ellie said.

The more Ellie spoke, the quieter her voice became "As long as the Owens family uses a little influence and spends some money, swept under the rug. Haley would at most face some public opinion pressure."

this matter will be

The adult world is not simply black and white, gray is the norm. Sometimes the innocent are tarnished, and sometimes evil is beautified.noveldrama

Ellie was not without the courage to confront Haley, but she lacked the ability to bear the consequences.

Lacey was indignant. "If I were you, even if I were no match for her. I wouldn't let her off the book. I'd rather go down fighting!"

As Ellie spoke, she slowly lowered her head. "I need to make money. I can't stop the medicine that keeps my dad alive. I really don't have the energy to engage with her, nor the ability to bear serious consequences. I can't be capricious." Ellie once acted capriciously by saving a boy, which led to her father contracting a lung infection and losing a leg, and even plunged the entire Thompson family into a desperate situation.

She had to live well and earn more money to buy the best medicine for her father. She had to provide her parents with as stable a retirement as possible. Ellie had to live well and couldn't afford any accidents. This was her responsibility. People's sorrows and joys are not interconnected. Lacey couldn't fully empathize with Ellie's helplessness and situation. However, as a friend, she firmly stood by Ellie's side. "If that bitch Haley dares to bully you again, I'll help you fight her?" "Lacey!" From a distance, Haley and her two friends stormed over, clearly having heard Lacey's insult.

Lacey immediately stood up. "Birch, who gave you the right to call my name?"

Haley and her friends often came to this restaurant Naturally, she felt embarrassed w hovile.

Lacey insulted her in public and immediately turned

"Birds of a feather flock together. Lacey, as the daughter of the Mosley family, what good can you learn by hanging out with this homewrecker all the time!" Haley sneered

"Haley, you tramp, I'll tear your filthy mouth apart" Lacey rolled up her sleeves, ready to take on Haley, but Ellie stopped her

Before Ellie could speak, Haley took the initiative. "Ellie, listen to me carefully, if you dare to seduce my fiance again, I will make you much worse. off than you were in Amerial"

Ellie stopped Lacey and glanced at Haley and her two friends. If you don't disappear from my sight, I will post all the evidence of you bullying me in Ameria online, and you, the so-called top debutante of Jaslands, will be ruined!"

Haley gnashed her teeth. "Ellie, if you dare to do this, Alex will never let you go. Alex is as disgusted by you as by garbage. He doesn't even want to look at you!"

"Alex has already admitted his mistake to me," Haley added. "He told me he was drank, and it was you who took advantage of his drunkenness, climbing into his bed and begging him to sleep with you!"
