Chapter 1808 The Lawyer’s Help
Ellen was aware that it would end up like water off a duck’s back to Garrett and the others anyway. They had proven their stance toward the situation and set their heart to get the money.
Now, she would be able to receive the money as long as she could receive an adoptive certificate to prove herself as Jessica’s granddaughter.
On the other hand, Connor was so livid that he lost his appetite for dinner. “How could they possibly do that? Who says that we must share the money with them?”
A guilty Olivia was standing behind him. “Probably because they’re jealous that Ellen will have the money all for herself.”
“What right do they have to demand the money? Aunt Jessica treated Ellen like her biological granddaughter, so she’s the only one with the rightful inheritance for that house.”
“That’s true, but Aunt Lilac is on the bread line. They won’t let such a chance slip through their fingers. Besides, Aunt Jessica didn’t legally adopt Ellen before she passed away.” She dared not reveal that she was the one who led Lilac behind the curtains.

After Connor attempted to pull some strings, he realized it was not something easy to be settled.
“Why don’t we give up on our share? I bet no one can stop Aunt Lilac.” Olivia was happy as long as Ellen would not get the money all for herself.
Bitterness crept into Connor as it would stave off his guilt if Ellen had that money to sustain her life.
Early in the morning, Ellen woke up to receive a notice from the human resource department. She was granted a three-day leave, but she thought it was strange because she did not apply for it.
While questions sprouted in her mind, she had another incoming call from the lawyer Jared introduced her to.
“Miss Reiss, are you available today? We can apply for the adoption certificate.”
“Yes, I am,” she quickly replied.
“Okay. I’ll be on my way to pick you up.”
She had packed up the necessary documents, hoping that they would be of help. Later, a black SUV parked in front of her, and a middle-aged man escorted her into the car. The sheer look of his neat suit was enough to tell that he was someone elite. His name was Burton Yarrow, and she addressed him as Mr. Yarrow. She narrated the whole story while they were on their way.
“Don’t worry, Miss Reiss. It’s not that difficult.”
“But I asked the authority, and they said it won’t be easy.”
“It’s okay. Just leave it to me.” Burton’s voice was as gentle as the spring breeze to Ellen. She figured that it was all thanks to Jared, whose friend was equally capable as he was.
