Ellena nodded, "I know."She took a deep breath and picked up the phone.The first thing Edward said was. "What happened?"It sounded like she wouldn't call him if she had nothing to do.Ellena thought for a moment. It was indeed so.She usually would not call Edward if she had nothing to do."Nothing." Ellena changed the topic and asked, "Are you busy at work?"Edward was not easy to fool. He did not believe Ellena. "Can you call me if you have nothing to do?"Ellena asked back, "Do you mean if there is nothing, I cannot call you?"The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds before Edward said meaningfully. "Are you calling to ask what I'm doing?"Ellena did not react for a moment.Edward said, "Nothing. You can call me more if you have nothing to do.""Pfft." Nicklaus, who was eavesdropping on their conversation, couldn't help but laugh.Ellena turned her head and glared at Nicklaus. Even though her gaze did not have any deterrence, Nicklaus still cooperated very well an
Because the shameless man grabbed her hand as soon as he got into the car and touched her face.Paul and Nicklaus were still sitting in front of her. Where could she put her face?When she waved her hand away for the first time, the shameless man let out a deep laugh. "You are so good today. I just want to touch you."Ellena looked at him with a fake smile, "Am I a cat? Because I am obedient, you want to touch me?""Of course not." Edward pinched her hand lightly and said, "It’s not enough to touch you once."Ellena's mouth twitched and she turned to look at the two people sitting in front of her.She found that both Paul and Nicklaus sitting upright and looking straight ahead.But their shoulders were shaking. They were laughing!Ellena was so angry that she kicked Edward.It did not hurt very much.But Edward also knew that he could not make her angry.When the car stopped at the entrance of the villa, Ellena was the first to jump out of the car. It was as if there was a ghost chasi
Ellena went downstairs. When she passed by the dining room, she saw Nicklaus sitting in front of the table with his eyes wide open. He did not move his chopsticks.When he saw Ellena come over, he asked her, "How is my cousin?""He's alright. I'll bring him food. You eat first." Ellena went straight into the kitchen after saying that.Ellena had prepared the food and came out of the kitchen with a tray. She saw Edward already sitting at the table.Hearing the noise, he raised his head and looked at Ellena.Ellena lowered her head to look at the tray in her hand and said, "You came down.""Yes." Edward replied lightly and lowered his head to eat.Ellena put the tray back and sat down next to Edward.She secretly glanced at Edward and found that his expression was normal. There was nothing wrong with his expression. It was unusually calm.During the entire meal, Edward did not say a word.After he finished eating, he got up and went back to the study room.Ellena did not disturb him but
After the whole day, Ellena did not see Ralph in the company. Ellena asked a colleague who had a good relationship with her, “Didn’t the chairman come to the company today?” Her colleague looked around and mysteriously said, “I heard that the chairman has gone abroad.” Hearing this, Ellena’s expression darkened slightly. At this critical moment, why did Ralph suddenly go abroad? Suddenly, she recalled what she had said to Ralph earlier. Could it be that Ralph went abroad to invite Old Master Smith back? What she had said to Ralph earlier could be considered resolute. Although Ralph's business methods were not good, when it came to benefits, he was still very clear about it. Ellena was somewhat lost in thought of Edward's mother's matter. That kidnapping case was ultimately defined as malicious kidnapping and extortion, but in the end, because it angered the kidnappers, it resulted in the kidnappers killing people. However, Edward's mother was not killed simply. She was humil
Ellena was shocked when she heard that. Martin pointed at Nicklaus and asked, "You said he, I mean this kid, hired people to kill people?" Nicklaus glared at Martin. "You are the child." Derrick looked at Martin seriously. "The police are handling the case. Don't interrupt." Martin waved his hand and nodded. "Alright, alright. Continue asking." Derrick turned to look at Nicklaus. "Where are you at six this morning?" Ellena could feel Nicklaus was a little nervous, but he was not afraid at all. He said openly, "I'm sleeping at home. Derrick nodded. "Is there a witness?" Ellena was about to speak when Derrick looked at her and said to Nicklaus, "Family is not counted." This way, Ellena and Edward could not be witnesses. The confession could not be carried on. Although Nicklaus was suspected, the police did not have any direct evidence or witnesses, so the police could only let him go first, but he had to be prepared to be summoned at any time. … Nicklaus and Martin knew each
As soon as Chloe leave, Edward arrived. He drove the limited-edition Bentley that was said to be worth tens of millions and parked it at the entrance of the mall. Ellena quickly opened the door and got into the car. She urged him, "Let's go." Edward did not start the car immediately. Instead, he slowly leaned over to help her buckle her seatbelt. Then, he used one hand to support the back of her chair and the other hand to support the intimate position of the car door. He asked her, "Your complexion is not very good. What movie did Chloe look for you to watch?" Ellena habitually pulled back a little and said, "It's a fantasy movie." "Is the plot very tragic?" "No." “Then why is your face so ugly?" Edward said and reached out to touch her face. Ellena subconsciously pulled her head to the side. Edward's hand fell empty and stiffly reached into the air. There was no embarrassed expression on his face, but it made people feel an oppressive pressure coming at them. This made Elle
Edward let go of her when he heard her.He took half a step back and looked at her. "But they deserve to die.""Are you trying to kill my grandfather by forcing him back?" Ellena felt a chill in her heart.She thought she had some place in Edward's heart. However, Edward's words denied her."No." Edward said indifferently, "Of course I won't do anything to your grandfather. He wasn't involved in that case. He was merely bribed by the Arnoult family.""Then what do you want to do by forcing him back?"Ellena did not understand Edward, but she vaguely understood one thing.Edward's mother was abused to death by those people, and Leo's father knew about this. It was very likely that he was involved in it because of some lucky coincidence.This world had never been clear about right and wrong. Ellena did not know how to evaluate Edward's actions.However, she still felt a little heartache for him.With such an outstanding mother, if his mother was still around, Edward would not be like th
Ellena got into the car and turned her head to look at Edward from time to time. Edward looked straight ahead and focused on driving, but he seemed to have eyes on his head. He suddenly asked her, "Why are you looking at me?" "I'm not looking at you." Ellena hurriedly turned her head. She felt Edward was a very powerful person. After Jayden returned to the country, the people of Smith family might call Ellena back to have lunch, but it might not be noon today. Even if he had guessed it, shouldn't he make a phone call to confirm it? But Edward came directly, which meant that he did not have this kind of doubt. He did not think that his guess would be wrong at all. He was a very confident person. … The two of them soon arrived at the Smith family. When the maids guarding the door saw Ellena, they all bowed respectfully and greeted, "Third Lady." Ellena directly led Edward inside. The hall was empty and there was no one in the hall. There was a voice from the kitchen. "Ellena
