Martin chased after Edward. Upon seeing Edward's frozen figure, he followed his line of sight, and looked forward. Martin was shocked. “This… Is that Ell…”

Noticing that Edward was gloomy, he hurriedly changed his words. “She isn’t like Ellena. I’ll go over and take a look. That woman is definitely not your wife."

Edward's face was tight, but he didn't say another word. Martin took it as a sign of agreement. Without another word, he took a step towards the couple.

Martin was nervous. Even though he wasn’t familiar with Ellena, he could tell that the woman looked so much like her from behind. Yet, that couldn't be her, right? He saw the way she had gotten along with Edward the other day, so Edward naturally would've known if she was cheating on him.

'Please don't let this woman be her.' Martin pleaded at the back of his mind. He had been friends with Edward for so many years, and he could see how much the man cared for this woman.

    At the sight of her obscured figure, Edward finally relaxed. He didn't even notice he had been holding his breath this entire time. Squatting down, he reached over to touch her head. Pushing a few strands of hair that were covering her face, he shook his head and sighed. His voice was hoarse, barely heard by the people at the back. “Ellena, I finally found you.” Her hair was messy, and her clothes were torn and wrinkled. There were fine beads of sweat coating her pale forehead, but fortunately, she had gotten out fine and unscathed. Edward couldn’t help but run his fingers on her cheek. “I’m here, you're safe now." Just as he was about to pick her up, she opened her eyes and moved farther away from him. “Get away… Please, don't touch me." Her gaze was misty and frightened and her eyes were full of tears, like a little kitten who wanted nothing more than to hide and retreat. Had they hurt her this much? Upon seeing her vulnerable face, Edward's star

    When Ellena saw that “Nicklaus” was serious and did not seem to be lying at all, she became nervous. “You're really saying that we..." She paused, desperately trying to find the words to explain what she was feeling. She really couldn't remember what had happened after she had fallen off that balcony. The drug must've already taken effect during this time, so it was possible that if they really had done something, she wouldn't be able to know. Her mind went blank for a few seconds before she finally thought of Edward. If he found out, she'd be dead! And the fact that she was in “Nicklaus's” room in nothing more than her pajamas, the thought was about to send her into a stroke. She couldn’t stay in this room anymore! With a pale face, she lifted the blanket and was about to get out of bed, but Edward pushed her back down. “You look exhausted after what had happened last night. You should get some rest. I'll ask someone to cook whatever you want to e

    Ellena raised her head in surprise, gazing at “Nicklaus” before glancing back at the phone in her hand. "You bought this?" “Nice try. Cousin bought it for you.” Edward rolled his eyes and began to eat. Ellena sneered at his words. "As if I'd accept it if it was from you." Ellena took the phone out of the small box. A small smile appeared on her lips as she analyzed it carefully. As Edward was the one who had bought it for her, she accepted it. After all, they were already married, so there wasn't anything wrong with giving and receiving gifts. Ellena noticed that there was a SIM card next to her phone. It was the number she had used before. Once she had everything installed, she immediately dialed Chloe's number. The phone only rang once before it was answered. “Ellena." Chloe's worried voice sounded from the other end of the line. There weren't any background noises from her end, so her words were loud and clear. "Are you okay? You weren't pi

    There was complete silence before Madeline quickly added, "I've been too busy in the past, so I wasn't able to find time to be with you back then. How about you let me make it up to you now? What do you say? Let me apologize for all that lost time." If this had happened a couple of months back, Ellena would've been very ecstatic. In fact, whatever her mother needed, she'd readily provide, as long as it meant that they'd grow closer together. However, after everything that had happened now, she knew that her mother's intentions weren't that simple. How careless of her to use being busy as an excuse! Being busy...her mother had always used that as an excuse, but whenever Naomi was involved, she'd drop everything and run out the front door. She never took any of Ellena's concerns to heart, which resulted in their estranged relationship. Besides, Madeline was a full-time housewife. She didn't even need to manage anything inside the house given the number of maids tha

    Ellena raced out of the villa, lowering her flushed face to avoid being seen by the bodyguards who were passing by. As soon as she reached the front gates, she leaned against the columns and exhaled heavily. She must stay far away from “Nicklaus” if she knew what's good for her. The man just didn't know when to stop! Even as the cool breeze brushed up against her face, the warmth still hadn't faded as much as she would like it to. Just as she was about to check the time, a car stopped right beside her. She turned her head almost instinctively to see that the window had been lowered, revealing “Nicklaus’s” cold dark eyes. In an instant, she froze. The moment their gazes collided Ellena felt her entire world stopping before her. A light shiver shot down her spine, followed by the warmth of natural sunlight. Quickly moving her eyes away, she quickened her pace. Edward drove slowly and closely followed her. He kept his car alongside her and said in a low voice with a

    Ellena sighed. Back then she hoped that Ralph would give her some. Even if it was only 1%, it would at least make her feel like she was a Smith. Now, it seemed that when she didn’t care about the shares anymore was also the time when Ralph wanted to give it to her. She suppressed a bitter laugh as she thought of all the times she had cried at their words and crumbled at their insults. How ironic! Ellena couldn’t help herself and actually laughed aloud. It was really ridiculous. Although she knew that Ralph had ulterior motives in mind, she still asked, "How many shares are you planning to give me?""As you're my daughter, you'll receive more shares than your mother." He said vaguely, patting his chest. There was silence before he continued, "Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly. After all, I'm your father." Her shares were more than Madeline's? Ellena pursed her lips. Hm... Since he had already mentioned the shares, how can she make it easy

    A large smile appeared in Ralph's face as he leaned back against his seat. It seemed that he had won this argument yet again. He was afraid that Ellena would go back on her word, so he immediately said, “What time you are available? I'm free today." "I don't have the time today. How about tomorrow?" While Ralph was celebrating, Ellena remained indifferent as she organized her things. She wasn't worried at all. After all, Ralph was the one who needed her, so he had no other way around. Back then when she had been in the Smith family, she was far too obedient. Some had even compared her to a yapping dog, and her family always took advantage of that. Ralph was no exception to that rule. That was why he wasn't used to listening to her demands. When Ralph heard her brief response, he frowned in impatience. "You don't have a job right now, right? What else are you busy you with?" "Just because I don't have a job doesn't mean I sit in the villa and do nothing all day lo

    However, as soon as the lawyer started reading their contract, Ralph realized just how wrong he was.The old man stared at the way the lawyer browsed through every single word, encircling phrases that didn't make sense and underlining a few terminologies that were hard to decipher by the untrained eye. This man wasn't careless or dense; in fact, he was extremely professional and cautious.The lawyer was none other than Grayson Foster. Although he looked young, he was very prudent when it came to contracts, and loopholes were his forte. He could spot anything from a mile away.The corners of his lips tilted up at the sight of Ralph's surprised gaze. He was sure that the old man had been underestimating his skills the moment he had walked into the restaurant, but he didn't say a word."On Section 26 of the Shareholders' Contract..." Grayson immediately went into it, pointing out all the loopholes that he had caught. There were even superstitious phrases tha

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. He came from a good family and carried an innate noble aura.

    Ellena stood outside the door and heard the noise inside. The expression on her face did not change much. 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. "My leg is still injured and it is not convenient to come over with a w

    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. She could not let Elaine be in danger.Ellena took a deep breath and made up her mind. She pressed the dial button.When the phone was pulled out, Ellena pursed her lips and waited for the phone to be picked up. After the call was picked up, it rang several times before the person on the other end of the phon

    Jasmine was a smart woman. She knew Ellena's words were reasonable.She had been with Edward for so long, but Edward had never touched her. 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. This was a disgrace to her.She would not tell anyone about this, nor would she let anyone know.Ellena's suggestion could coincidentally solve the problem Jasmine was facing now.Making love with Edward and having Edward's child.This way, she could peacefully be Mu your ladyship for the rest of her life.After thinking so much in her heart, Jasmine did not immediately agree.

    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?" Paul did not even blink. His expression was calm and composed."I understand. You are deliberately telling you all this to distract me. This way, Ellena might lose the case!" Vincent let go of Paul and sneered. "Go back and tell Edward not to use these dirty tricks. What is the point of bullying a wom

    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.

I just can't find which building you live in."Ellena had never seen a man drive a pink sports car before. She walked around the car and asked, "Your own?""What else?" 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. "Alright, get in the car."Ellena followed him into the car and showed him the way to the main entrance.Vincent parked the car and entered the neighborhood with her.Vincent's flashy pink sports car had attracted many people's attention.
