- Chapter 491
- “Your father was driven to suicide, and your sister suffered unbearable pain and humiliation before she was tortured to death by a man!
- “If it weren’t for me spending a lot of money to get you out of prison early because of my friendship with your sister, you’d still be stuck in there for a few more years.
- “Now your dad is dead, your sister is gone, and you’re hiding here like a rat in the gutter. Don’t you feel any hate at all?!”
- “I hate them!” Ethan exclaimed, gritting his teeth in anger.
- Quinlee took the chance and said, “Your sister once up with Alex to kill her in Yorksure.
- saw Ellic as her best friend, but Ellie stole your sister’s fiancé and teamed
- “Your sister cared so much for you. You have to avenge her; you must get rid of that witch Ellie!”
- Ethan was completely blinded by his hate, and given his current desperate situation, he depended on Quinlee to feed him, so he immediately agreed, “I will kill those two scumbags to avenge my dad and my sister!”
- “As long as Ellie is dead, Alex will never get the person he wants, and Mr. Thompson, who personally sent you to prison back then, will completely lose his beloved sister!” Quinlee smirked triumphantly. “Getting rid of Ellie means revenge on all of them!”
- “Then I’ll make that woman Ellie pay!” Ethan yelled in agony, kneeling on the concrete ground with his hands pressed against it.
- “As long as you follow my instructions, I’ll cover your expenses, but we can’t meet again. We’ll reconnect the way we originally planned,” Quinlee said as she put on her mask and sunglasses, leaving the stuffy apartment.
- “Who are you people?!” Quinlee’s eyes widened in shock at the sudden appearance of the group in front of her.
- “Ms. Janssen, Mr. Owens, Mr. Warren would like to see you,” Barry said as he stepped out from behind a group of bodyguards.
- Quinlee panicked and quickly retreated back into the apartment. Ethan, inside the apartment, was so scared he wanted to jump out the window but Quinlee stopped him.
- Quinlee said, “I’m just here to help you out a bit since we’ve been friends. We haven’t done anything wrong, they won’t do anything to us.”
- “Besides, I’m Quinlee, the second daughter of the Janssen family, and my sister is married to the eldest son at Grant family. Even Mr. Warren can’t do anything to us!”
- Quinlee gave Ethan a hint, and he quickly understood, suddenly charging at the bodyguards. Taking advantage of the moment, Quinlee called Winnie. “Winnie, help me, Mr. Warren, he’s-” Quinlee didn’t finish before Barry abruptly hung up
- the call.
- *****
- Just after two in the morning, on the private island of the Warren family at the border of Ditato, Quinlee and Ethan had their hands tied and were hanging from two different trees. They were hanging quite low, with their toes barely grazing the ground.
- A few hundred meters away, Alex wore black pants and a white shirt, casually leaving the top three buttons undone, with the shirt tail partially pulled out from the waist, and his sleeves rolled up to show a strong forearm.
- He leaned against a tree trunk, smoking while looking at the two people hanging there.

- 39%!
- Quinlee shouted, “Mr. Warren, kidnapping us like this is against the law! Winnie already knows you kidnapped me, so you better not do anything reckless!”
- Hearing Quinlee’s panicked cries, Alex slowly blew out a smoke ring. “Relax, I’m a law–abiding businessman. I would never do anything illegal.”
- Chapter 492
- Alex said. “This island belongs half to Ditato and half to Yorksure. I’m standing on Ditato’s land, and you’re on Yorksure’s. We’re in different countries, so even if something happens to you tonight, it has nothing to do with me!”
- Alex flicked away the half–burned cigarette from his hand, his intense eyes darting between Quinlee and Ethan. “Tonight, the only way you two can walk out of here alive is to tell the truth!”
- After speaking, Alex gave Barry a look and turned to walk towards the helicopter nearby.
- Hearing the screams from the two people being harshly interrogated by the bodyguards behind him, Alex nonchalantly glanced at the incoming phone number, let out a heavy snort, and then turned off his phone.

- Meanwhile, at the Thompson residence, Ellie was woken from her sleep by a call from Diana.
- Diana said, “Ellie, I’m stuck abroad and can’t come back. Winnie has been calling me. She really doesn’t want Patrick to have a falling out with the Warren family because of the Janssen family.
- “I know Alex only listens to you. Could you just show up? You don’t have to do anything else. Consider it a favor I owe you.”
- After hanging up from Diana’s call, Ellie hesitated for a good two or three minutes, but she finally got up to change her clothes.
- In the end, this matter had nothing to do with her. But knowing Diana’s personality, if it weren’t something tricky, Diana wouldn’t have asked for her help. Since Diana was stuck abroad and couldn’t return, Ellie, as her friend, couldn’t refuse.
- Ellie quietly went downstairs without disturbing her family. Outside the Thompson residence, a car from the Grant family was already waiting at the door.
- The car drove straight towards the Grant family’s private airport. Ellie sat quietly in the car, listening as Winnie briefly explained the situation.
- Ellie frowned, thinking, ‘Quinlee is meeting Ethan, Haley’s brother, in a remote rental house?‘
- Quinlee was from Jinerity. She was presumed dead after falling into the sea but suddenly returned alive to the Janssen family. While, the Owens family was in Jaslands, and Ethan, Haley’s brother, had only been out of prison for a few days.
- Ellie wondered when Quinlee and Ethan started interacting with each other. Countless questions suddenly popped into Ellie’s mind.
- “Mr. Warren, have the Grant family members arrived?” Barry asked, rushing over to Alex as he watched the helicopter descending to land.
- Alex calmly shook out a cigarette and placed it in his mouth. “Any results yet?”
- Barry replied, “Both of them are keeping their mouths shut; they refuse to say anything!”
- “Tie them up and throw them into the sea!” Alex said, and then turned leisurely. The Grant family had already approached him. Seeing Ellie standing next to Winnie, Alex paused in his motion to light a cigarette. The next moment, both his phone and the unlit cigarette dropped from his hands.
- The Warren family’s bodyguards moved quickly, but the Grant family members weren’t slow either. On a rock by the seaside, the Grant family people stopped Barry.
- Chapter 492
- Ellie didn’t look at Alex. Her eyes were on the rocky shore where two burlap sacks, nearly thrown into the sea by the bodyguards, lay weighted down with stones.
- “Mr. Warren, please let my sister go!” Winnie stood beside Patrick, frowning deeply.
- Alex paused for a moment, casting a subtle look at Ellie. “I’m not a human trafficker. Why are you involving me in your search for your sister?”
- 39%
- Winnie became anxious when Alex wouldn’t admit anything. “She called before she went missing and said you kidnapped her!”
- Alex gave Ellie another stealthy glance, denying again. “Without evidence, it’s best not to make wild accusations!”
- Patrick spoke calmly. “To find out if she’s making things up, Mr. Warren just needs to open those two sacks.”
- Chapter 493
- “What if I don’t?!” Alex shouted, striding to the edge and stepping on one of the sacks.
- 39%
- Hearing the muffled sounds of struggle coming from the sack, Winnie knew Quinlee was inside. Winnie rushed forward, but Alex firmly stomped on the sack, causing the person inside to writhe painfully near the edge of the rocks, and pinned it down again.
- Winnie’s face turned pale, and she froze in place, too scared to move forward. She had no choice but to ask Ellie for help. “Ellie, say something!”
- Ellie stood still, hesitating and not saying a word. It seemed Alex hadn’t gotten anything out of it. If he had even a tiny bit of evidence, he would’ve made his move a long time ago.
- Besides, Ellie and the Owens family were enemies. She never liked Quinlee, who was always stirring up trouble with her two–faced behavior. If Quinlee really had something shady going on with Ethan, stopping Alex wouldn’t benefit her at all.
- Winnie, seeing that Ellie wasn’t saying anything, reluctantly called Diana again. When Ellie got Diana’s call, she unwillingly nodded. After hanging up, she walked over to Alex.
- Alex stood silently on the rock, watching as Ellie walked towards him slowly. Alex said, “Did Diana ask you to come?*
- Ellie nodded.
- Shirt collar a
- Alex casually tugged at muttered a curse quietly. “I can let them go, but I have something to discuss with you!”
- Alex stared intensely at Ellie. Seeing that Ellie didn’t speak, Alex assumed she agreed. He pushed the person beneath him away with his foot and signaled to Barry, who then released the person.
- “Thank you, Mr. Warren, for your generosity,” Patrick said to Alex politely, and then instructed others to take the severely injured to the helicopter.
- Alex brought Quinlee and Ethan here in broad daylight and used his own methods to question them–there had to be a reason. Patrick and Winnie understood this, so when they saw Quinlee covered in bruises, they didn’t immediately react.
- From a distance, Ellie watched as the Grant family loaded Quinlee and Ethan onto the helicopter, and then she turned and walked away.
- “Let me take you back!” Alex stopped Ellie in her tracks.
- Ellie glanced at Alex’s arm stretched out in front of her, and then moved around him and kept going.
- “Don’t you want to know why I kidnapped those two?!”
- Hearing Alex’s voice, Ellie kept walking. She wouldn’t have come to see him if Diana hadn’t called for help in the middle of the night. Whoever he wanted to kidnap was none of her concern.
- “Don’t you want to know who’s been following and scaring you?!” Alex shouted behind her again.
- Thinking about the person who had been following her and that bloody package she received at the hospital, Ellie couldn’t help but stop.
- “Thank goodness you are here tonight.” Winnie approached Ellie and asked if she wanted to head back now.
- Ellie reminded Winnie, “No one stays the same forever. Quinlee has been away from the Janssen family for so many years. You really don’t know what she’s gone through during that time, right?”
- Chapter 493
- There was no smoke without fire. The Grant family was smart, and even if Alex were to let it go, they would definitely get to the bottom of it. Winnie first frowned, and then nodded in agreement.
- “Thanks for the reminder, Ms. Thompson. I will definitely find out the truth. If it’s Quinlee’s fault, I’ll personally apologize and compensate Mr. Warren, but if it’s Mr. Warren’s mistake, I’ll be sure to stand up for her!” Winnie said and then left first.
- It wasn’t until the Grant family’s helicopter rose into the sky that Ellie calmly looked away. She turned her head slightly to look at Alex, who was standing right next to her. Alex happened to look back just in time to catch her gaze.
- Chapter 494
- On the deserted island, all the bodyguards from the Warren family had moved back near the helicopter.
- Alex and Ellie stood side by side by the shore. Ellie was quietly gazing at the endless ocean, completely silent.

- Alex tilted his head slightly, maintaining the pose from when he was just looking at Ellie, his gaze fixed on her. She was noticeably thinner than before, with tiredness evident on her face. Yet, she seemed so calm, letting the sea breeze tousle her long hair without bothering to fix it.
- He stood next to her, not frowning or pushing her away, creating an illusion of peaceful times. They hadn’t been together so quietly since Carlos passed away, even if it was just for a brief moment.
- Thinking about that stormy day when Ellie decisively left the Warren Manor and left him, his heart still aches even now. He couldn’t help but step a little closer to Ellie, tentatively reaching out his hand to try to take hers.
- As Ellie dodged, Alex’s hand accidentally brushed against her stomach for a brief moment. He quickly pulled his hand back.
- Ellie slightly turned away from Alex, instinctively touching her stomach with her hand. That moment when Alex’s hand touched her stomach might have been the closest he’s ever been to this child.
- With determination, Ellie took two steps to the side, putting distance between herself and Alex. Call her selfish or callous, but she simply couldn’t let Alex discover this child’s existence; she didn’t want anyone to know about the child. She no longer wished to become endlessly entangled with him.
- Alex watched Ellie’s reaction quietly, his eyes full of tenderness. His Adam’s apple bobbed intensely. He fought the urge to hug and kiss Ellie, forcing himself to look away.
- He said, “Ethan got out of jail early because Quinlee found someone to pull some strings secretly. I suspect the person tailing you is Ethan; he can’t get to me, so he’s going after you instead!”
- Alex understood what Ellie wanted to hear and what she didn’t. He finally had a chance to be alone with her, and he didn’t want to say anything that would make her upset.
- Seeing Ellie remain silent, Alex continued, “Even though I’ve let him go, I’m not letting this go. Until I find evidence, it’s best you take leave and stay home, waiting for my news.”
- “Let’s head back.” Alex began to say, but Ellie spoke up first. Without waiting for Alex to respond, she walked directly to the helicopter.
- Ethan and Quinlee had nothing in
- Common, but Quinlee still went to great efforts to get Ethan out of prison early.
- Thinking back to the people who had been following her and then seeing Ethan just now, Ellie was almost certain that it was Ethan who had been stalking her all along.
- With Ethan stalking and threatening her, there was no way this didn’t involve Quinlee as well. Ellie kept replaying every interaction she had with Quinlee, trying to figure out if she had unknowingly offended her.
- Ellie returned to the Thompson residence the next morning. The black Bentley smoothly stopped at the entrance, and Alex was the first to step out of the car.
- Without giving Alex a glance, Ellie walked straight into the Thompson residence. Alex clenched his fists by his sides, struggling to resist the urge to follow her, to call out to her. He didn’t want to upset her or see her frown.
- Chapter 495
- Seeing Aaron come out from the gate, Alex quickly approached him. Aaron asked, “What happened last night?”
- This morning, the family discovered Ellie wasn’t home. They called her and finally learned what had happened last night. From a distance, they saw Alex dropping Ellie off at the door, which put Aaron at ease.
- “Ethan is out of jail because Quinlee secretly helped him. I was going to collect evidence to send both of them to jail, but the Grant family took them away!” Alex explained the whole situation to Aaron and added worriedly, “Make sure Ellie doesn’t go out alone. I’m worried about her safety!”
- Aaron frowned. They both fell into silence until Aaron spoke sternly. “Mr. Warren, I’ll keep an eye on this, but please stop disregarding the law.”
- Alex replied, “I was forced to last night, but from now on, I’ll definitely follow the law.”
- Aaron didn’t say anything more and turned to enter the house. He didn’t know if others believed Alex, but Aaron definitely didn’t.
- *****
- A few hours later, Ellie woke up and went downstairs to eat. Seeing her mom and brother busy in the kitchen making things for her, Ellie felt a deep warmth in her heart. With such a wonderful family, it didn’t matter to her if she could never have her own kids.
- Perhaps knowing that the person who had been secretly following her had been identified allowed Ellie to relax a bit after days of tension. Or maybe it was the light food Joanna made that increased her appetite. Ellie enjoyed a meal without feeling nauseous for once.
- After breakfast, everyone gathered in front of the living room sofa to discuss what happened last night.
- Whitney said, “Since Alex said so, it’s probably true. With Jason not around these days, Ellie, you should listen to Aaron and take a few days off to rest at home.”
- Ellie sat quietly, hesitating for a while before finally speaking up, “I need to go out!” Seeing the surprised looks from everyone, Ellie explained, “Even though I’m sure the one following me is Ethan, I don’t have any proof.”
- Ellie continued, “So far, he hasn’t done anything to legally harm me, so reporting him wouldn’t count as a crime. I need to keep going to work and living my life as usual.
- “If he really wants to get back at me, he’ll make another move, and that’s when we’ll have the evidence to catch him!”
- Ellie casually placed a hand over her stomach, her voice firm. She was determined to lure Ethan out and find out what kind of secret dealings he had with Quinlee behind the scenes.
- As for the baby, she had already made up her mind: she didn’t want it. She had planned everything. Once this issue was settled, she’d pretend to go on a trip to relax, and in a city where no one knew her, she’d have the pregnancy terminated.
- After going upstairs, Ellie was stopped by Aaron. He asked, “Did Diana really leave the country?”
- “That’s what she told me when she called last night,”
- Diana, being a fun–loving jewelry designer, often went abroad alone to watch shows. Ellie was used to it, but Aaron’s face clearly showed he was upset.
- “Take some time to rest,” Aaron comforted Ellie and then went back to his room. He immediately called Diana, but there was no answer. After hesitating for quite a while, Aaron finally got the courage to send her a text message.
- Then the truth hit him–he was blacklisted. “Immature!” Aaron grumbled in frustration, sitting at the foot of the bed.
