Ellena found that Paul was not looking at her. Perhaps, he hadn’t seen her standing close to ‘Nicklaus’. That was good, she was safe for at least now.
She needed to think of a way to get rid of this man. So she slipped into the kitchen silently.
Seeing she entered into the kitchen, Edward sat down on the sofa. He had a small smile of victory on his face. It was obvious that he didn’t have any mood to talk with his assistant.
So Paul left.
Even if he had worked for the man for many years, he had no idea what his boss was thinking. So it was better to leave it as it was.
…
In the kitchen, Ellena opened the fridge and found fresh vegetables and meat. Not thinking too much, she grabbed some meat and vegetables. But what the heck she was gonna to make for him?
Just as she was about to chop the vegetables, something flashed in her mind. Didn’t Nicklaus make breakfast the first day she arrived here? But there were not any maids
Ellena went through all the articles one and one including some pictures uploaded by the netizens.She tried to think about it in an optimistic way. She didn’t have a Weibo account. Otherwise, she would receive tons of scolding from these angry netizens.She looked at these articles again and again. Even under the thick foundation, one could see her flushed face and dark eyes.Looking at those insulting words, it was impossible not to get angry. After everything that had happened, and after everything she had done, she was not going to stand still anymore.She took out her phone and called Naomi.After a long time, Naomi picked up the phone.“Why do you call me now? Is there anything wrong?” Naomi’s voice was gentle and calm, as if she didn’t know anything on the internet.Ellena sneered. A part of her really wanted to let go of the act she had put and teach them all a lesson. But it wouldn’t be int
Edward looked at her flushed face, but his expression remained indifferent. “Are you in trouble?”His voice was calm, but if one heard carefully, they’d discover the hidden concern in his voice. It could’ve warmed any woman’s heart. But Ellena was just now any woman.Ellena pinched her blanket and said coldly, “None of your business.”However, her cold face had no threat to him at all. Although his composure didn’t change very much, there was a flicker of anger flashed in his eyes.“Of course it’s none of my business. But if you beg me, I’ll consider helping you.” Edward looked at her indifferently. If looks could kill, she would’ve been buried ten feet under.However, Ellena would never beg him.Edward looked at her deeply, turned and walked out.He had only walked a couple of steps when he met Paul. Paul held a tablet near to his chest. And looking at his
Along the way, Ellena kept scrolling the social media. But this time she was not shaking with anger, instead she was reading calmly those articles. The post ‘A Wench Mad For Money’ was still trending. Most of the netizens were scolding her. “This woman had the nerve to betray her sister, even after what she had done for her. She is really shameless!” “Naomi didn’t deserve to have a sister like her! That bitch!” “Right, I want to beat her with a shovel.” Ellena laughed coldly. She was the true victim in this entire incident, yet all she had gotten were hate comments and death wishes. And Naomi, the mastermind behind it all, got fame and fortune straight into her pockets. But why should she get all these hatred? And the trouble maker Naomi got reputation? Ellena sent Chloe a message. “Introduce a reliable media reporter to me.” “What are you going to do?!!!” Although they were far away, Ellena could sense Chloe’s excitement. Ellena struggled
Flustered from the previous phone call, Edward didn’t have the time to distinguish who was calling him. He slammed the pen stand against the door and yelled in frustration, “Fuck off!”He was already pissed off by his sister and didn’t have the time to take care of anyone right now.Ellena had been standing outside all the time. When she heard the angry roar, she was stunned for a moment. Then without wasting a second, she turned around and left.Although she didn’t know why he was so pissed off today, she knew she had no position to interfere with it.After a while, Edward calmed down himself. He raised his head and stared at the ceiling. There were still so many questions left unanswered when it came to the kidnapping years ago. After what happened to his mother, he promised himself to avenge her no matter what. Paul knocked on the door and came with a stack of document. His expression was calm as if he hadn&r
At the restaurant.As soon as the two sisters faced each other, the atmosphere in the room had dropped a couple of degrees.Naomi placed her bag on the table and raised her chin and spoke arrogantly to Ellena, “Just say what you want to say. I can’t waste time with you. I have a date with Daniel.”She looked at her newly manicured fingers which reflected under the lights as she spoke.She then looked at Ellena. While she was dressed for the gala, her sister was dressed for the barn. It had been so many years, but her ugliness didn’t faded. This woman always looked same, the long dress, unhealthy and spotty skin, coupled with her thick-framed black glasses, ugly as a toad.Such a woman wanted to compete with her for a man?Only those fools on the internet would believe it.Ellena lowered her gaze and looked at the glass on her hand. She rubbed her hands on the glass and suppressed her anger to smash on Naomi&rsq
Ellena was still shaking her head in disbelief. If only she had seen through Naomi's mask a little earlier, she would've found a way to prevent all of this from happening.Just as she stepped out of the restaurant Ellena received a call from Chloe."Come over quickly! The red car across the road.” Chloe said quickly and then hung up the phone.Ellena looked up and saw the red car across the road. As she looked at the direction of the car, it horned twice.Knowing that her friend was in a rush, she immediately walked to the other side of the road and into the vehicle. Ellena turned to the woman beside her. "I didn't expect to see you here.""You don't expect a lot of things.” Chloe stepped on the accelerator. “How was it? Was it successful?”Chloe had a short movie that was low-key but popular. She could be recognized by anyone. That’s why she waited for her outside.Ellena smiled and said. “Very wel
Ellena went to the Smith Family Villa by a car. Her eyes flashed with annoyance and anticipation with every turn she had taken, glancing at her already silent phone.For so long, she had idly sat by as the other members of the family take advantage of her. She remembered the way they've sneered at her with every answer she had gotten wrong or the way they'd laugh whenever she 'messed up'. Now that the tables had turned, she'd guarantee that the house was filled with unconfined chaos.As soon as the maid had seen her coming in, she immediately bowed her head. "Third Lady."She could see the change in the servant’s attitude.After all, Ellena was now the daughter-in-law of Arnoult family while Naomi was now involved in the scandal, which was very harmful for her reputation.But she couldn't let them see the satisfaction on her face. After all, if she wasn't careful, then she'd lose her entire deck of cards. The only thing she could do now was t
Seeing that everyone had fallen into an agreement, Madeline stood up and addressed them. “I’ll ask the servants to prepare the dinner.”Naomi didn't even bother to look at her. Since the video was already out, there wasn't any reason to pretend that they had good relations. Plus, she was far too exhausted to play her part.Ralph simply nodded in response.Madeline was embarrassed but she didn’t say much more. It was obvious that the video's contents had shaken the roots of their family.As she passed by Ellena, she stopped and whispered seriously, “Come out!”Ralph and Naomi were already seated at the other end of the study, and now they were chatting in a whisper.Ellena just glanced at them and followed Madeline to leave the study.As soon as they were out of sight, Madeline immediately pulled her into her former bedroom. Closing the door behind them, Madeline held her shoulders and stared at her.
