It was because the Warren family had already done too much for them, and her family didn't want to owe them any more Dvors. "Haley, don't you have anything better to do" Ellie's good mood vanished. "You were born into a wealthy family and have a great education. Every day you're either revolving around Alex or coming to stir up trouble for me. Do you think everyone is as idle as you?" Back when Haley was dating Aaron, she had been influenced by him and would clock in at her family company every day. Now that they had broken up, she quit working on and only spent her time on pointless things now.

Haley laughed with more smugness. That's the difference between you and me. For people like Alex and me, even if we spend our whole lives just eating, drinking, and having fun, we couldn't even spend all our money. "Even if you and Aaron work hard your entire lives, in this life, the next, and the one after, you'll never reach our level. So, I suggest you know your place. Now that you're going abroad, I hope you never come back." Ellie, with her view of Haley further shattered, resorted coldly, "You have no right to interfere in my life. I will definitely settle down in this city, a

Haley raised her voice. "From what I know, the hospital where you studied in Ameria has already offered you a position with much better opportunities than staying here.

"Yet, you're so broke and refuse to stay abroad to earn big money just to come back. Isn't it because you want to catch Alex's eye and marry into weahh

Haley let go of Ellie, sneering, "A cripple and an uneducated old woman-consider it a compliment that I'd even bother with them. Unless you stay abroad and don't come back, don't blame me for being harsh Furious, Ellie used all her strength to slap Haley hard.

"You actually hit me? Haley clutched her burning cheek in shock. Anger quickly took over as she swung back "Who do you think you are? If it weren't for the Warren family, I would've made sure you couldn't show your face in Jashands. You hit me, and now you'll pay for it "You're asking for it" Ellie said, standing her ground.

As Ellie was saved by some kind strangers, there wasn't a hint of Alex and Haley. So, when he doens't care, he won't even bother to know if Tm alive,' Ellie thought, wiping away her teari. She ignored her own messy state to search for the broken bracelet When Alex came back using the overpass, he saw Ellie from a distance.

Without a word, he pulled her to her feet, causing the small bus she had picked up to fall apart. - "Let go" Ellie shivered violently from the biting cold in the air. Her face was pale, her clochies drippling water, but she pulled away from Alex and squatted down again to collect the pieces of emerald
