Quinlee kept claiming she was Orion’s fiancée and Ellie’s friend, yet she’s always being overly nice to Alex, making all sorts of hints, and badmouthing Ellie. Every word Quinlee had ever said about Ellie was full of malice.

At the same time, at the Thompson residence in West Suburb No. 7, Ellie looked at her family’s worried faces and truthfully recounted how she had been followed these past few days.

Initially, she was afraid her family would worry, but now things were much more serious than she had thought, and she had no choice but to speak up.

Even now, she was still unsure about who the other person was. By sharing her concerns, her family could be more cautious.

Jason asked, “Have you managed to identify any suspicious people around you?”

Ellie shook her head. She had checked everyone around her but hadn’t yet identified anyone with malicious intent toward her.

Aaron spent the whole night with a worried expression, watching Ellie look so thin and tired, unable to hide his concern. “The police are already investigating. Take a few days off to rest at home and wait for the results,” he suggested.

“Let’s not discuss these upsetting things so late at night. Maybe the police will catch that bad guy tomorrow,” Whitney suggested since everyone was feeling down and Ellie looked especially miserable. She quickly changed the subject.

“I’ve got some good news! I’m three months pregnant!” She revealed the pregnancy test results she had been keeping hidden.

As soon as Whitney spoke, the atmosphere in the living room became celebratory, and smiles appeared on everyone’s faces.
