Chapter 176 Ellie remembered during Alex's second year in college, on her birthday, Alex gave her a white jade engraved with words, and secretly told her he had made smore money.

Later, she found out the jade Alex gave her was an antique worth millions. It scared her so much that she rushed to return it to Carlos's study that night.

Alex didn't like being tied down or following a routine. Making money was easy for him, and when it cto spending it, no one could beat him.

Over half an hour later, the Thompson siblings parted ways with Alex's parents at the hospital entrance.

Lacey showed up late. "You scared me! I thought something had happened to you," she said while Ellie pulled her to the sidewalk. Lacey insisted on driving them back.

Aaron politely declined, "I've already called a cab. Please take care of Ellie, Ms. Mosley," he said before leaving, and Lacey drove Ellie home.

At the entrance of Ellie's apartment, Lacey turned off the engine and said, "Ellie, things are so tense between you, Alex, and Haley. How will you face them once you're with the Warren family?" Ellie unbuckled her seatbelt and said, "They're the ones who should feel awkward, not me!" Lacey said, "That's easy to say, but before this, I've heard that jerk Haley mention that the hospital in Ameria extended an offer to you. Why didn't you stay abroad and instead chose to cback to this mess?" Ellie lowered her eyes and remained silent for a while. "Lacey, no one wants to leave here more than I do,” she said.

"Then why won't you leave?" Lacey asked directly.

Ellie's empty gaze looked out the car window. I've been living with the Warren family for over ten years and been separated from my parents and brother for just as long." Without realizing it, Ellie's voice becchoked up. "Throughout these years, no matter where I am, my parents call rarely. Every twe speak, my mom always says let's hang up, yet they never actually end the call first.” Ellie said, "My dad lost a leg, his lungs are weak, and he needs to take medicine all year round. He had to endure all kinds of complications for years.

"I don't know how long they have left or if they'll get to see Aaron or I get married and have kids.

"I just want to be as close to them as possible while I still can. I don't want the regrets of wanting to care for them when it's too late, standing by their graves with nothing but remorse!" "Ellie," Lacey said with a sad expression, holding Ellie's hand, unable to find the words.

Ellie said, "Lacey, do you know how hard it is for kids from poor families to make it big?" Ellie said, "Aaron has worked hard for so many years. His job and dreams are here. Our relatives and friends are all here. We haven't done anything wrong, so why should we leave our parents and everything behind?" Ellie said, "What will happen to our parents if we leave? Lacey, have you forgotten how Haley treatedin Amerial: 0 08:55 Fri, Feb 7 Chapter 176 86%

Ellie thought. "Avoiding problems is never the best way to solve them. When people try to smear us, saying that the truth will cout eventually is a waste of words. Since I couldn't dodge the issue, I had no choice but to confront it.

The next morning. Ellie went to the Warren Manor. She spent the entire day there, but Alex never showed up. It was around nine in the evening when Ellie returned to her apartment.

With just one day left until the family reunion party, there were still sthings she needed to take care of. As Ellie stepped out of the elevator, she immediately spotted Alex, who was drunk, standing at the door. AD Comment
