Chapter 251 You're Making

This Worse

The situation had spiraled beyond Ellie's grasp. Facing any single one of them would have been a formidable task. But all four? That was a tempest she was ill- equipped to weather.

The four people, however, were positively buoyant. Ellie's family, their eyes gleaming, immediately took note of Jayceon's bespoke suit and the glint of his opulent watch.

Hank's eyes nearly popped from their sockets as he recognized the limited- edition watch on Jayceon's wrist. He realized he was clearly rich.

"Pleasure to meet you!" Hank seized Jayceon's hand to shake hands with him. "I'm Hank, Ellie's brother! We're practically family now!"

He then proceeded to introduce his parents to Jayceon, his voice dripping with sycophancy.

Leif and Tori, their senses honed by years of experience, immediately recognized Jayceon's affluence, a fact evident in his tailored attire and his refined aura.

She must have been his mistress, the child illegitimate.

However, as their eyes swept across the luxurious apartment, they quickly forgot about everything else.
