?Chapter 437:


    Ellie also sensed that Kaiden’s grievances and indifference toward Brisa were not solely due to her willingness to be used as a pawn in her pursuit of love, hindering Kaiden.


    There seemed to be other underlying factors at y, which Ellie had yet to uncover.


    At a high-end shopping center downtown, Cecelia’s clothes were easy to choose, as they only needed to be decent andfortable. It didn’t take long for Ellie to pick out a set of clothes for her.


    Brisa, on the other hand, had a dignified temperament, but there was still a girlish look in her eyes. Ellie spent over an hour picking the right clothes for her.


    “Hello, please show this…”


    “Pack this dress for me!”


    Ellie was about to ask the saleswoman to bring her the dress so that she could get a better look when a woman’s arrogant voice interrupted her.


    “Miss Gordon, you also like that dress?” Aphrodite, who had just entered the shop arm-in-arm with a man, smiled at her smugly. “Too bad. Carole wanted it for an elder of the Thorpe family.”


    “Is that so?” Without hesitation, Ellie snatched the dress from the saleswoman and strode straight to the cashier. “I’ll take this dress, thank you.”


    Whoever paid the bill owned the dress.


    Aphrodite was stunned. She didn’t expect that Ellie would be so brazen! “Don’t you dare let her pay!” Pointing at the cashier, Aphrodite shouted, “Don’t forget that you’re all employees of the Rollins Group. Are you all blind? Can’t you see the gentleman next to me?”


    “I want that one,” the man demanded.


    His gentle, almost soothing voice had filled Baylee’s ears from the tender age of eight up until she was eighteen. Naturally, Ellie had alsoe to know this voice.


    Her expression turned cold, and she couldn’t pretend not to see him anymore. Teeth gritted, she looked at the man standing next to Aphrodite.


    He was dressed in a khaki windbreaker. He had a handsome face with chiseled features and ck, bushy eyebrows, but his eyes were gentle. All in all, he exuded a noble temperament, and the pair of thin-rimmed sses resting on the bridge of his nose made him look more refined.

    Quincy remained one of the most popr young men in the business circle, which was exactly Baylee’s type.


    Ellie seethed secretly. Damn it! She had forgotten that this shopping mall belonged to the Rollins family.


    “Understood, Mr. Rollins.” The cashier immediately canceled the transaction and firmly held onto the dress that Ellie intended to buy.


    “So, Mr. Rollins, are you going to stand up for your current girlfriend?” Ellie sneered.


    She specifically stressed the word “current.”


    Unfortunately, despite her indirect provocation, Quincy’s expression didn’t change at all.


    “Miss Gordon, I heard about what happened at the party. It’s your fault you hit Aphrodite. For the sake of our age-old friendship, I won’t make a fuss about it this time,” Quincy said calmly.


    “‘Friendship’?” Ellieughed bitterly, as though she had heard a cruel joke. “It’s good that you’re defending your current girlfriend, Mr. Rollins. But you seem to have no problem with her insults to your ex, do you? Oh, that’s right—a man like you won’t give a damn about your ex-girlfriend!”
