Chapter 460
460:
Jayceon quickly realized they were vain and greedy people, but he didn’t mind. After all, a few properties were nothing to him.
“I will get you two a house. I’ll also give Hank a house as a wedding gift,” he said.
Grins spread across the Moore family’s faces, mirroring the ecstatic joy of lottery winners.
Leif’s eyes gleamed with undisguised happiness. “What do you do for a living? When can we meet your parents…?”
He faltered, a flicker of doubt crossing his features. He assumed Ellie was just Jayceon’s mistress and thought that suggesting a meeting with Jayceon’s parents might be inappropriate.
As Leif hesitated, Ellie’s voice was sharp as a shard of ice as she said to Jayceon, “Did I consent to this arrangement? Did I even agree to be your wife? You’ve already promised them houses. When they get those houses, they’ll want money from you too. Will you give them that as well?”
Jayceon could see that Ellie didn’t have a good relationship with her parents, but he was unaware that she had already cut ties with them.
Jayceon replied, “Shouldn’t I provide for your parents? They don’t even own a home in Shirie. How can we live in a big house while they rent? People would mock us.”
Ellie, exasperated, shoved him toward the door. “Just leave; you’re only making this worse.”
Jayceon refused to leave.
Tori pushed Ellie aside, her voice sharp. “Have you lost your damn mind? A good man like him is rare! Why would you drive him away?”
She yanked Jayceon back by the arm. “You still haven’t told us about your family!”
Ellie saw exactly where this was heading. The moment her parents realized Jayceon came from a wealthy family, they would force her to marry him. She exclaimed angrily, “Enough! I am not going to marry him. Who gave you the right to decide for me?”
She jabbed a finger toward the door. “Jayceon, get out!”

The raw anger in Ellie’s voice made Jayceon hesitate. One wrong move, and he believed he might never see Patrick again. He quickly complied. “Fine, I’m leaving. Just don’t be mad at me.”
The Moores could only watch as Jayceon left.
Ellie then turned back to them, her tone cutting. “He’s just a show-off. Yes, he has money, but he can’t afford all those things he bragged about earlier.”
Hank couldn’t shake off Jayceon’s words, which left a bad taste in his mouth. Jayceon had said that this place belonged to Ellie’s friend, meaning 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 as 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.
