2022-04-25 10:43:53Ellena stared at the coffee stains on his buttoned up shirt and raised an eyebrow. She said sarcastically, "You can't even hold a cup of coffee properly. They say that if something's wrong with your hand coordination, your kidney isn't good. Think they could say the same for you?"
Edward pursed his lips and placed the cup on top of the table. He didn't bother to wipe the stains from his suit as he stood up. "There's nothing wrong with my hand coordination, I assure you. Unless, of course, you'd like to test it out?"After that, he winked.She didn't even bother to look at him as she turned around and walked towards the door. "Dream on!"Her arrogant voice echoed throughout the hallway just as the door had slammed shut.Edward blinked in surprise.Did this woman grow a pair of wings since she had removed her makeup, that she'd actually dared to challenge him? His eyes flashed with amusement as he stared at her retreating figure.Ellena ran out of thRelated chapters
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 54: I Will Pick You Up After Work
The marketing department was actually located on the other side of the building. As one of the busiest departments in Smith Group, it was the largest and probably considered the most paper ridden, right next to the Accounting Department. Ellena looked around her surroundings as they went into the manager's office.The manager was a bald, middle-aged man. As soon as he saw Naomi coming his way, he smiled so brightly that his eyes had narrowed. There was something greasy about the way the man patted his hair. Even his skin was so oily that it glistened under the dim lights.He greeted respectfully. "Second Lady, why did you come over?"Naomi crossed her arms, nodding in Ellena's direction. "Manager Black, this is the new market researcher for the department. Take her with you, and make sure to take good care of her."Although she asked him to ‘take care’ of Ellena, her actions had proven otherwise. With how far they were standing apart from one

Naomi and Madeline were already assuming that she was having or had an affair with “Nicklaus”. If they saw him coming down the street to pick her up now, then they would surely misunderstand her situation even more. Ellena frowned, feeling as if she was coming down with a headache. This was just too complicated! It would've been easier if she had gone back to the villa herself. Besides, she didn't have any need for any help either way! After exiting the elevator, Naomi went out first. When Ellena saw that Naomi was already a few steps ahead, she slowed down her pace and took her phone out of her pockets. "Nicklaus, you better pick up." She murmured while dialing the number. To her surprise, the man answered quickly. "What is it now?" His mocking voice echoed from the other end of the line before she could even speak. "Have you decided not to treat me to a meal? Have you run away with the black card, stealing me from my own well deserved dinner? "Don't be ridiculous!" Wait a sec

Edward lowered his head and gazed at the way her slender fingers clasped along his skin. But he didn't break free. "Isn't it normal for us to investigate you? Do you really think we'd allow just anyone into our family?" His face was enough to bring any man or woman up to the mountains. Even Ellena couldn't help but stagger backward in fear of him. Although he was usually mocking and teasing, "Nicklaus" had a side that you wouldn't want to piss off. On the first day, Ellena entered the Arnoult family, Edward had already sent a few of his men over to investigate her past more thoroughly. It was only then he understood her feelings for that man. As for her pretending to be ugly, that information had gone way back that there was no way for any of them to verify it. Ellena was stunned for a moment. Within a second, her face became serious as she looked at him in a complicated expression. "You're saying that Edward had asked you to investigate me?" "You think I want to investigate you

Ellena took a deep breath and walked into the room, making sure to leave the door slightly open behind her. An innocent smile slipped into her lips. "Manager Black is discharged so quickly. I was just about to visit you in the hospital." Dawson Black was his full name. He had a wife and a daughter. While he was deemed to be lustful and lazy, there was actually one woman that could get him off his feet and that was his wife. She even had come to the company once to deal with him because of the rumors that the man was involved with a female colleague in the company. The words she used and the look she had on was like a lion on a prowl. Everyone in the company knew that he was especially afraid of his wife. Yesterday, Ellena had offended the department manager on her first day at work, so she obviously needed to do her homework. The last thing she wanted to do was back down, like all the times she had done in the past. As soon as he caught sight of her, the muscles on his face twitch

Even after Ellena sent the message, she still couldn't be at ease. All she could do was sit back and stare at her screen from time to time, awaiting his reply. Her finger refreshed the screen a few times in the last hour.What's wrong with her? She ran her fingers down her hair irritably as she placed her phone on the corner of her desk, not wanting to look at it any longer. She had never been this nervous with Daniel before! And to be this anxious for a man she had never actually seen was...weird. Just as she was concentrating on her documents, she heard a few whispers from the other cubicle. "I heard that Dawson applied for a leave." "What? He used to be so eager in coming to work." So the man had already retired? Ellena leaned against her seat as she pushed herself to the wall behind her, interested in hearing more of this. Just then, another colleague quickly joined the discussion and she frowned. Their voices had become much softer now. However, she still caught a few words

There were other people around, so Ralph couldn’t reject Ellena just like that. After all, even if they were all on bad terms behind closed doors, they were still considered 'family' or whatever that meant nowadays. He had a faint smile on his face and nodded at her. "Why don't we eat together?" "Sure." After she said that, Ralph’s expression changed slightly. Although it was barely noticeable to the other bystanders, Ellena caught it. She smirked. "But not today. I plan on eating with my colleagues, so how about another day?" The father and daughter duo obviously disliked her. From the moment she was brought into this world, they already wanted nothing to do with her. Naturally, that didn't stop now even if they were working under the same company. Hearing her refusal, his expression relaxed and his smile became less stiff. "All right. Some other time." Just then, Naomi suddenly turned her head and picked some food for her father. She insisted, placing the vegetables on his plate

Ellena actually remembered to cook for “Nicklaus”. After all, that was what she had promised him when he lent her his lawyer. Although he is a bastard, a promise is still a promise.But as soon as they entered the shopping mall, she had already lost track of time. Her colleagues quickly pulled her from store to store, pushing a bunch of fabric to her face as they discussed intently the day they just had.Seeing as the sky had turned dark, she quickly found an excuse to stop, "I'm so tired. Why don't we find a place to rest?""Sure! I saw a drink shack by the end of the mall." All of them headed up that direction.Seeing as they were finally distracted, she used this time to take out her phone, only to see that she had two missed calls from “Nicklaus”.“Nicklaus” really wasn't the type to sit patiently and wait for her to reply. She squeezed her eyes shut, not expecting him to call her twice. At this point, she couldn't even imagine how angry he must've been after the second call. Sh

Ellena widened her eyes. "You're...""Shouldn't I be the one asking you and not the other way around? Why did you come all the way here?" The masked man interrupted with no difficulty. He squinted his eyes and bent over, trying to get a better look at her.There was a hint of sternness tied to his words, and the concern it showed was just right. She couldn't help but freeze at his tone.Even Ellena was convinced that the man was actually her cousin. She stuttered out, regaining her voice. However, she still couldn't mask the shock etched across her features. What the hell was this?"I was just about to go back.""Is that so? I'll send you off then." With a nod, the masked man pulled her wrist and walked out of the convenience store.However, the male colleague who had escorted her all this way wouldn't let her go that easily. Instead of allowing her to leave, he walked straight towards the entrance, blocking their paths. He motioned to his papers. "We're still supposed to do our resea

Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 776: I Don't Need to Explain Anything to You
Before Ellena could say anything, Vincent had already walked towards the door.She raised her head to look at the door and found that Vincent was standing by the door and did not open it.Vincent turned back and smiled at her. "No one."After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards Ellena, returning to the dining table.Ellena did not say anything. Soon, the doorbell rang again.Vincent raised his head to look at Ellena and found that her eyes were full of understanding."It's Edward, right?" Ellena put down her chopsticks and asked him softly.Vincent did not say anything, which was a tacit agreement.Ellena stood up. Vincent frowned and said, "Ellena, if you do not want to see him now, I will help you kick him out."Ellena shook her head. "It's okay."She had thought before that if she did that, Edward would definitely find her to settle the score, but she did not expect Edward to come to her.
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 775: You're Serious I'm Serious
Ellena drove Vincent aimlessly.Vincent saw that she had no intention of stopping, so he had to pay attention to the restaurants outside. He picked a random restaurant and asked her to stop.Vincent chose a restaurant in Jiangnan. It was a restaurant with thick oil and red sauce. 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. Even when he wolfed down the food, he could not hide the noble aura on his body.Ellena took a deep breath and turned her head to look outside the window.It was unknown when it started to drizzle outside. The people passing by were in a hurry. Some held umbrellas while others ran in the rain.As for her, she was someone who did not

Ellena finished speaking into the phone and sneered before hanging up.After that, Spencer called a few more times. However, Ellena did not answer and did not hang up.The ringtone made Ellena impatient. She turned off her phone, opened the door, and got out of the car.Ellena did not know why she got out of the car. After getting out of the car, her feet seemed to be out of control as she walked into Sea Horizon Club.She did not know what she was thinking or what she was doing. After entering the Sea Horizon Club, she did not know what she was thinking or what she was doing. After entering the Sea Horizon Club, she went straight to the private room where she had a meal with Edward.Ellena ran to the door of the private room. She pushed open the door and found that there were only a few waiters cleaning the room.When they saw Ellena rushing in, they were all stunned. They immediately asked, "What's the matter?"Ellena ran very quick
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 773: Rest
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
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 772: Send Him to Someone else
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
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 771: Let Him Hate Me
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. "If I want to have Edward's child, I can discuss it with him. Why should I be threatened by you?""I know you can understand my words. Don't play dumb with me anymore." Ellena saw the way Jasmine was thinking previously. She knew Jasmine could understand h
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 770: I'm Here to Work with You
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
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 769: Help Him to Keep On Eye
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. She cooked two bowls of vegetable and egg noodles.She came out with two bowls of vegetable and egg noodles. She pl

Vincent was so bored that he wanted to paint his car this flashy pink.When he saw Ellena, he scolded her, "What kind of lousy place do you live in? 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. Those who could afford to drive such a car were not low in valu
