The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 252 I Will Help You With This

Hank couldn't shake off Jayceon's words, which had left a bad taste in his mouth. Jayceon had said that this place belonged to Ellie's friend, which meant he wouldn't be able to get this place for his marriage to Angela.

This couldn't happen!

The memory of Jayceon's luxury watch lingered in Hank's mind, and he quickly ran after him. He believed Jayceon must be rich.

If this rich guy had gotten Ellie pregnant, the least he could do was cough up some money. What was mere pocket change to Jayceon could probably set him up for life.

"Jayceon!" Hank called out, sliding into the elevator with a grin plastered on his face. "Don't buy into Ellie's tough act. When she got pregnant with your child before, she defended you a lot. Even though she said she didn't want to marry you, deep down, she's still got feelings for you. Otherwise, why would she keep the child?"

Jayceon knew that much, which was why he kept trying to win Ellie back. He sized Hank up-cheap suit, overstyled hair, like a wannabe hotshot.

He didn't seem like a fool.

Jayceon responded with a casual air, "And then?"

Hank leaned in and chuckled. "Look, that kid makes you a family, Jayceon. Ellie will come around eventually. Don't worry; I'll put in a good word for you in front of her. But, you know, it's not easy to do that..."

He flashed Jayceon a knowing smile.

Jayceon had already realized that Ellie didn't like her family. He looked at Hank with a cold expressión.

Rich didn't mean reckless, and his money didn't grow on trees. He kept silent. Embarrassed, Hank shifted gears. "My wedding's coming up, and I still don't have a place to call my own. So, here's a win-win proposal. If I can persuade Ellie to marry you, can you..."
