Love's Tangled Web (Alex and Ellie)

Chapter Love Web 94



Chapter 94

At 8 p.m., lights were crisscrossed in the outdoor garden of the Warren Manor while music was played. A variety of fruits, desserts, and cuisine were prepared.

Elegantly dressed guests gathered in small groups, chatting and laughing, while bodyguards and servants moved around busily, creating a festive atmosphere.

In the living room, distinguished guests were exchanging toasts, and some elders were engaged in conversation. Compared to the lively scene with the younger crowd outside, there was a more somber atmosphere in the living room. Ellie was standing with Aaron. Hearing the host downstairs passionately introducing her history, Ellie suddenly felt nervous for no reason.

Since she was young, she had been afraid of situations like this.

When she lived with the Warren family, she would try to hide in a corner or hide herself in the bathroom whenever there were events like this. Besides, Alex still hadn't shown up. Ellie really couldn't figure out what he was planning.

However, she was certain he wouldn't be kind enough to let her go through the adoption process smoothly.

In her eyes, Alex's mischief was well-known and he was good at causing trouble for others.

Ellie's anxiety affected Aaron, who took her to the hallway.

Looking down from the railing, they found the place packed with guests and very lively.

Seeing so many distinguished guests downstairs made Ellie even more nervous. She said, "Aaron, I..."

Aaron comforted her patiently. "Since you've made this choice, be brave and move forward. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

Aaron said, "Don't worry about others' opinions. Mom, Dad, and I will always be your support and refuge."

As Ellie thought about her parents far away in the small town, her eyes filled with tears.

Todd and Nancy personally went to the small town to invite her parents, but Harold just wouldn't agree to come.

He was such a stubborn person, yet he didn't stop Ellie from being adopted by the Warren family.

Harold and Joanna were incredibly ordinary. They couldn't provide Ellie with much, yet they had given her everything they could. Aaron could sense Ellie's sadness, confusion, and fear.

All life's hardships were the cost of growing up, and no one could take them away.

The only thing Aaron could do for Ellie was offer more companionship and support.

Aaron gently adjusted the crown on Ellie's head and said, "Don't cry. I'll go down with you."

"Okay," Ellie nodded vigorously.

Chapter 94

In their efforts lay the promise of their parents' happiness in old age.

Ellie wouldn't let anyone or anything change her life goals. She was determined to be adopted by the Warren family.

Summoning her courage, Ellie slowly descended from the second floor accompanied by Aaron.

Someone said, "That girl is really pretty."

Another said, "That guy in the uniform is so handsome.

One said, "Look at the insignia on his uniform. Isn't he a prosecutor?

Another one said, "Have you noticed that despite all the fanfare from the Warren family, Alex still hasn't shown up?"

One replied, "What's going on? Could there be some hidden reason behind this?

Those who didn't know Aaron and Ellie were eagerly speculating while those who knew them turned to look at Haley. Only a few people knew about the complicated relationship among Haley, Ellie, and Alex. Recently, Haley's self-directed scandal caused a major stir in elite circles.

Out of politeness, people didn't confront her directly, but that didn't stop them from gossiping behind her back Haley stood beside her parents, trying to keep her composure, but her face showed extreme discomfort. She hadn't been able to reach Alex for days, and his phone remained off.

She couldn't believe that Alex would still not show up at tonight's banquet.

Her eyes, sharp like hooks, moved back and forth between Aaron and Ellie. She envied Ellie's beauty and was shocked by Aaron's change.

Aaron stood under the lights, looking even more handsome and tall in his uniform. The prosecutor's insignia on his chest seemed to give him a golden glow, dazzling everyone.

Ellie stood by the stairs. When her gaze met Haley's angry, jealous eyes from across the room, she casually looked away.

At that moment, Mark came up to Ellie and said, "Congratulations.

Ellie finally smiled when she saw Mark. "Thank you, Mark."

"Mr. Thompson, you must be Ellie's brother, right? Mark looked at Aaron with curiosity.

Aaron greeted him politely, "Yes, Mr. Grant

Ellie looked at Mark, then at Aaron. "Do you know each other?" she asked with curiosity.

Mark said, "Mr. Thompson is my father's favorite student."

Ellie could only think to herself, What a coincidence.

Mark waved to a girl in the distance. "Hey, Diana." 67%

Chapter 94

Diana Grant came over from not too far away, holding a wine glass.

Mark introduced everyone with a smile.

Diana openly praised Ellie. "What a lovely name, and you're so beautiful. Are you Mark's girlfriend?"

Mark quickly interjected, "Diana, don't joke around like that."

"Ms. Grant, you're a real beauty," Even though the girl in front hack on heavy makeup, Ellie found her kind of cute rather than off-putting.

Mark looked at Aaron and said, "This is Mr. Aaron Thompson, the student Dad often mentions."

Diana came over to Aaron with a glass of red wine, unabashedly looking him up and down. She used her diamond-studded nails to pick at his insignia and said, "No wonder Dad praises you more than his seven sons." "Nice to meet you, Ms. Grant," Aaron greeted politely as he stepped back to avoid Diana's hand.

Observing her flashy red lipstick and the tight skirt that barely reached her thighs, Aaron stepped back again. "Excuse me, I'm going to greet Mr. Declan Grant."

Diana watched Aaron's retreating back and slyly nudged Mark. "No wonder Dad likes him. He's such a dull person, just like Dad."

Mark looked helplessly at Ellie, who responded with an awkward smile.

It was Ellie's first time hearing a girl comment Aaron like that.

As the host's voice sounded again, people in the venue gradually quieted down.

The host said, "The Warren and Thompson families share a long history. Mr. Carlos Warren and Mr. David Thompson were once roommates in the military.

"After Mr. Thompson passed away, Mr. Warren took in Mr. Thompson's granddaughter. Before this banquet, Ms. Ellie

"I didn't expect that she is childhood friends with Alex."

"Since that's the case, Alex and she must have a strong bond. Why hasn't Alex shown up yet?"

"Didn't you hear about the scandal about the Owens family? It's said the three of them have a complicated relationship."

"But the Warren family is supposed to have a marriage arrangement with Ms. Diana Grant. Look at how close Ms. Grant is with Mrs. Warren.".

"Ms. Grant is no ordinary character. She has nine uncles, more than a dozen cousins, and seven older brothers."

"Once Ms. Grant finds out that Alex and Ms. Haley Owens have secretly pledged themselves to gach other, there will be chaos."

"Now that they're all here, I bet it's going to get interesting when Alex shows up soon."
