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 some more 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 came to 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?”
