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
Even though Jayden hadn't stayed in the Smith family for many years, he still had a lot of prestige in his family. During the meal, no one said a word. After the meal, Edward stood up and said. "We still have work to do. Let's go." Ellena was a little surprised. She did not expect Edward to leave so soon. Jayden heard him and looked up at him. "You guys go first." Jayden and Edward had only exchanged a few words, but Ellena somehow felt that they seemed to have talked deeply. Edward brought Ellena, who was still in a daze, out of the Smith family villa. When they got back into the car, Ellena still had a dumbfounded look on her face. "You and my grandfather, what's the matter with you two?" She really could not understand the silent confrontation between experts. "He will come to find me." Edward curled his lips, a cold smile on his face. Ellena did not know if Jayden would go to find Edward, but Jayden soon came to find Ellena. The next day was Friday. Ellena went to the
Half of them were Nicklaus's snacks. In his words, it was going to be winter vacation soon. During winter vacation, he had to enjoy it. When he was paying, Ellena had just taken out her wallet when Nicklaus pressed her back. "You come to shopping with a man. I don't have any reason for you to pay. I'll pay!" Ellena was speechless. In the past, he used to live in her rented room. When he was freeloading, did he forget that he was a man? Nicklaus's money was earned by helping people do homework and play games. He was also quite hard-working. Ellena naturally could not bear to spend his money, but she could not persuade Nicklaus. He was as thin as a monkey in his puberty, but he had a lot of strength. He forcefully stopped Ellena and paid for it himself. Ellena could only give up. Anyway, it was only a few hundred yuan. She would just buy something for Nicklaus later. … At night. Ellena had just brought the prepared dishes to the table when she saw Edward walk into the restaur
