Last Updated:
2022-04-04 12:30:20Ellena turned her head to the side, avoiding his gaze and said coldly, “None of your business.”
No matter how evasive she seemed, he still didn't back down–using this time to stare at the blemishes on her face. It was as if he was seeing them in a new light.
“Then whose business is that?”
Edward stared at her for a long time. His broad shoulders and tall body towered over her, not giving her any chance to escape. She was trapped here, whether she liked it or not.
Right now, she did want nothing but a hole to hide in the ground. How could she be so careless?
Even if he was a mile away from her, she could practically sense the oppressive aura seeping right out of him. What more if he was practically centimeters away from her? She suppressed her fear, trying to stare at him right in the eye. But the moment she tried, she found herself turning away almost immediately.
Her heartbeat was so fast that it felt lik

It was obvious that Ellena was mocking the reporter for her shameless act of asking people their sex life in public. The reporters who asked the question understood it too. Almost every reporter present was bribed by Ralph. They were invited to use today's press conference as a way to revive Naomi's innocence, so most of them only asked Ellena questions concerning the video. Only that reporter was the only one who had asked about Edward to gain attention. The Arnoult family had great power and influence, and ordinary people couldn't afford the offend them. However, there were a handful of people who wanted to risk everything, even their own lives to provoke them. Seeing that the others still hadn't stopped laughing, the reporter's face paled in embarrassment. So, she gave up covering her intentions and said viciously, “You are so ugly! How a woman like you could married into Edward’s family if it isn’t not the fact he is not impotent? If you could snatch awa

Out of defense, Ellena wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her head into his chest. Her mind went blank for a few seconds before she realized what was happening. "Nicklaus!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. A few pedestrians had glanced her way, but as soon as they saw the man holding her, they quickly looked away. Ellena struggled to get down from his arms, “Put me down!” Ignoring her frustration, Edward held her even tighter in his arms and put her on the passenger seat. No matter how many times she kicked her legs up in the air or pounded his chest with her fists, he still didn't back down as he closed the door beside her. "Don't move." "You wish!" As soon as she was seated, she reached out to grab the car door and want to get out of the car. With everything that had happened in the press conference and the night before, the last person she wanted to talk to was him! Edward had already expected her to try and fight back. Just as her hand

The entire car was silent all the time until they reached at a high-end club. The surrounding was filled with luxurious furniture. Although the place was a little more subdued as compared to the other clubs, she could tell that it was for the upper class given the number of sports cars parked around the area. Ellena paused, gazing at the well-dressed people going in and out of the club. This was certainly not the place she was used to. She looked at “Nicklaus” suspiciously, “Are we going to eat here?” He wouldn’t be here to play, would he? Edward didn't even bother to answer her as he got out of the car, closing the door right behind him. This time, he didn't open the passenger seat, as if he was daring her not to follow him inside. Ellena had no choice but to follow right behind him. The two of them walked straight to the entrance. When Edward stepped into the entrance, the attendant bowed respectfully. "Welcome to Sea Horizon Clubhouse.” However,

After Ellena finished her press conference, she had planned to watch it again on Weibo, wanting to see if she had gotten any comments from the netizens. However, before she could, “Nicklaus” had already pestered her to join him for lunch. Turning on the computer, she browsed the webpages. She found that the interview was covered by many media and re-posted by quite a number of Weibo influencers. The majority of the netizens were scolding her, just like she had expected. But there were a few rational people who analyzed her answers more carefully. “I knew that she was lying. The others who supported her are now hiding in embarrassment, right? What else do you have to say?" “Why was she acting like a diva? She even wore a mask when she was interviewed. Is she so afraid to show her face?" "Am I the only one who thinks that the way she answered the press was cool?” "I realized that she never really admitted to actually stealing her sister's fiancé from the start.

At the Smith Villa. Naomi leaned on the sofa and flipped through her phone, smirking as she looked at the trolling comments. She paid to get Ellena’s interview to be the top trending topic. She also paid an army of Weibo trolls to curse Ellena. Even those websites that held different opinions before began to turn hostile to Ellena. Although Ellena had claimed that she didn't have anything to do with the paparazzi, she didn't believe so. In fact, no matter how that woman had pushed her to believe, Naomi always believed that she had something to do with this. But it didn't matter. That woman didn't think of the whole picture when she had gone against her, and now she was paying the price. Seeing how ruthlessly Ellena was being sworn, Naomi couldn’t stop her smile. So what if their conversation was caught by paparazzi? That was just an empty talk. But Ellena had admitted in front of all the media outlets that she was simply hyping herself up to get a better job

The doctor immediately administered the injection to Edward. It had taken a while, but his condition finally stabilized. The doctor sighed in relief as he packed up his things, before turning to her. "Make sure you get him to drink plenty of liquids. Also, he mustn't be doing anything rigorous or exhausting that may affect his recovery, all right?” “OK.” Ellena grabbed a towel from his bedside table to wipe the sweat off his forehead. By the time she had done so, the others already made their way out of the room. She sighed in frustration and stared into his closed eyes. There was just something about this situation that she couldn't seem getting away with. Ellena felt a little strange. That night in the dining room, she had fallen into “Nicklaus's” arms, and Paul had caught them in the act. Yet, he didn't say the word. He even suggested her to take care of him while he was sick. Shouldn't he have said something to Edward? Or had he forgotten that the i

Ellena was unconvinced that Chloe used the adjective “handsome” to describe “Nicklaus”. She wrinkled her nose. “You can say whatever you want but it’s useless. Appearances are nothing if your personality's a size of a peanut." Chloe shook her head, as she took a sip of her juice and said, “I don’t believe that you weren’t fascinated by Nicklaus. I mean, who wouldn't? Have you ever seen anyone better than him? Even if he wear a sack, he will still look good! I don't know where your eyes have been, but you should start using them." Chloe stretched out her hand and made a gesture. She looked like a hooligan. Was she fascinated by “Nicklaus”? As soon as the thought appeared, she sneered. “Please, no matter what he's a jerk.” Women would be attracted by beautiful flowers, let alone a man like “Nicklaus.” “Nicklaus” may be the most handsome man that she'd ever met, but that still didn't make him admirable. Remembering what he had done to her in the past, she

Ellena immediately dialed Chloe’s number. "Hello?" An exhausted voice came from the other end of the line. "Is something wrong? Did something happen?" “Did you buy the trending topic on Naomi’s video?” “Didn’t you refuse? Have you changed your mind? Wait, if you want me to do it, I could contact my friends right now.” Chloe said excitedly, clapping her hands together. "No, it's not that. I just saw that her videos had gone up the trending search again. I thought you were the one who paid the site to get it up there.” Ellena explained as she scrolled down the Internet. No matter how far she had scrolled, Naomi’s videos were everywhere. “What? Really?” Chloe said and then made some noises. Ellena guessed she might browsing the Weibo. As expected, after a few seconds, Chloe burst into laughter. "Although I didn't do this, I'll send some flowers to whoever did. As I've said, karma's going to get her one day. I just didn't expect that it would be this f

It was his first time eating it and he felt that the taste was not bad.Ellena sat opposite him and crossed her arms as she watched Vincent wolfing down the food.Even if it was the wolf swallowing, Vincent still ate well.He was the same type of person as Edward.

It was just that it became a bit colder.Jasmine did not come for a long time and Ellena could only call her.After the call was picked up, no one picked up.Why isn't Jasmine here yet?This matter was planned beforehand. Jasmine should be very proactive.Not long after, Jasmine's figure appeared at the corner. Beside her was a nurse.When Ellena saw Jasmine come over, not only did her heart not fall, it became even more anxious.She shook her head and refused to think about why her heart was so uneasy. She removed all unnecessary thoughts and only let herself think about this matter.When Jasmine walked closer, Ellena looked at her with a gloomy expression, "Why did you only come now?"Jasmine shot a glance at Ellena and her tone was disdainful.

Ellena sat quietly on the sofa for a long time. Her eyes fell on the phone on the coffee table.Her hand on her lap tightened and loosened. In the end, she reached out and picked up the phone.That familiar number was pressed out by her unconsciously.Her thumb was hanging on the dial button. She hesitated for a long time but could not press it out.At this moment, Ellena thought a lot.The scene of Edward and Jasmine together and Edward chasing her out.But what about Elaine?If she hesitated at this moment, Elaine would live under the same roof as Jasmine in the future.Ellena subconsciously shook her head.

Only she knew this and no one else knew.Although she was thirty years old, she maintained herself well. There were many people pursuing her. She thought she was more charming than others, but Edward had never touched her.

Paul had personally investigated the information of Vincent that Edward wanted to know, so he knew everything about Vincent.Paul said with an indifferent expression, "Mr. Reed is really kind. You don't care about your own father's death at all. Instead, you are so enthusiastic about other people's matters.""What do you mean?" Vincent's expression changed as he stared at Paul."Mr. Reed really thought his father died in an accident? Do you know what your father has been doing all this time?" Paul stopped and did not plan to say anything more. He turned to leave.Vincent grabbed Paul's arm and said, "Explain yourself.""This is Mr. Reed's matter. How can I, an outsider, explain clearly?"

Ellena saw that Vincent really looked like he was going to sleep and asked unhappily, "Are you always like this in other people's homes?"Vincent closed his eyes and said slowly, "How is it?"Ellena asked, "You don't know how to write the word 'polite', right?""When friends talk about being polite, they see each other as strangers." Vincent turned around and changed into a comfortable position. It seemed that he did not intend to get up again."You are really not polite." Ellena muttered. She saw that Vincent was really lying down and could not do anything to him, so she could only turn around and go to the kitchen.Opening the refrigerator, Ellena looked inside. There were dishes inside, but she did not really want Vincent to do as he wished.What if he cheated in the future and ate at her house?Ellena thought for a while and took some vegetables and eggs from inside.

Vincent patted the car and tilted his head to look at Ellena. "Do you like it? I'll give it to you!"Ellena's mouth twitched. "No need.""If you really like it, I can really give it to you. I have a lot of cars!" Vincent's tone was as relaxed as treating her to a meal. It wasn’t like he wanted to give her a car worth more than a few million.Ellena glared at him. He shrugged.
