Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 64: You Should Set a Good Example for Others
Edward was supposed to leave the premises after Ellena had said her answer. After all, it would've been out of character if he had stayed there and inserted himself into their conversation. However, as soon as he recalled what Naomi had done to her the last time, he decided to return. As long as they still weren't on company premises, then there might be a chance that she'd try something. What he didn't expect was to witness a good show. In his entire life, other than his mother, this was the first time he had been protected by a woman. Somehow, he couldn't help but reminisce the times his mother had pushed him behind her back, towering over anyone who'd go against him. An inexplicable warmth surged through his veins, and he couldn't help but soften at the sight. He couldn't help but feel a bit strange. Unknowingly, the corners of his lips twitched up into a smile. This feeling was wonderful. Ellena had been wearing thick leather shoes that were about three to four centimeters h
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 65: She Felt Wronged
There were a lot of women in the marketing department. And as they say, if women were to gather together, if they don't talk about themselves, they'd naturally talk about other people. That small theory had been proven right today. What had happened in the morning spread throughout the entire company in just a mere few hours. By the time they were having their lunch break, Ellena was already the center of attention. She'd feel eyes following her direction everywhere she went. Her face was still swollen from the slap, but she continued to keep her head high. Halfway to the washroom, she could hear a bunch of her female colleagues discussing their opinions as to what really happened. "What's going on? I heard that only one woman applied for a leave today. There wasn't any man!" One of them whispered. "Isn't it obvious?" One of them arched up an eyebrow. "Naomi and Dawson must've worked together to set Ellena up! Why else would there be this mysterious male colleague that suddenly di
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 66: I Won't Hit a Woman, So Do It Yourself
However, “Nicklaus” was almost 1.9 meters tall. Even if Ellena wanted to, she wasn't able to block his face even if she stood on her tiptoes. She didn't know why but every time Naomi gazed up at him, she felt uneasy.Naomi glanced at Ellena with contempt, but it quickly faded as a small smile threaded across her lips. Stepping forward, she stared up at him. "Mr. Arnoult," she said softly, her voice dripping with faux innocence and sweetness. "It seems that we meet again."Edward glanced at her before looking at Ellena, who had suddenly blocked his path. Seeing as she wouldn't even gaze up at him, he could understand why she'd do such a thing.He remembered once she said, "Your Sister-in-Law is like your mother” when she contradicted him. And seeing her protect him like this...His eyebrows furrowed over, observing her stiff back and hardened features. Did she really view him as her son and nothing more?As soon as the thought had occurred to him, his expression became even colder. He d
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 67: Let Me See
No matter how blue and swollen Naomi's face became, Edward still didn't ask them to stop. Instead, he simply leaned against his seat and observed the show happening before him. At this point, it was almost impossible to see what she looked like.Ellena, on the other hand, couldn't bear to see it. She gently kicked his leg under the table and whispered. "Nicklaus!"Although she had wanted to pay Naomi back for everything she had done, this wasn't it!Edward turned around. Upon seeing her wide eyes, he knew she wanted him to stop. He sighed and knocked on the table and said lazily. "All right. I've never seen such a cruel man such as yourself, Mr. Smith. You're actually willing to beat your beautiful daughter up like this. But as they say, the apple doesn't really fall that far from the tree."His voice didn't sound like he was the culprit at all. Instead, he sounded sad and wistful as if he was just an innocent bystander. With a shake of his head, he pushed back his plate and gazed at
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 68: Do You Want to Sell Me Again?
Ellena walked out of the entrance and went straight to the bus station. The last thing she needed was to bear the brunt of her father's anger; she had enough of that for the last twenty-so years of her life. There were many people waiting for the bus. Just as she had finally relaxed, a familiar black car stopped by the side of the road. The window slowly lowered, and Ralph glanced at her. "Get in the car." Although she hesitated, she got in anyway. It was just three of them in the car, with the driver sitting upfront. Ellena didn't say a word even after she had gotten in. The driver drove around for a while before stopping by a more isolated roadside. After a few minutes of silence, Ralph said faintly. "Ellena, I know you skipping work was just a misunderstanding on my part. But your sister has already suffered so much today, and this matter should be taken care of. Don't take it to heart." "You think that's enough?" Ellena sneered. Ralph frowned. "Your sister has already suff
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 69: It's My Fault
During dinner, Ellena could feel that there was something off with the atmosphere. And after looking at “Nicklaus's” face, she could tell that she wasn't making this up. Most of the time, his expression usually held an aura of coldness and indifference. He didn't have to speak to make his presence known to the people around him, especially her. However, this time, his eyebrows were more furrowed over, and his eyes glinted dangerously. He was like a predator who had just lost his prey. He clenched his fingers around his fork so tightly that a part of her was afraid that it would break. Picking up a piece of fish, she placed it in his bowl. "Try this. I sprinkled in a little bit of pepper today, so I'm not sure if you'd like it." She said gently, trying her best to erase the tension in the atmosphere. But instead of eating it, “Nicklaus” picked it up with his chopsticks and threw it across the table. Ellena frowned. Had she done something to piss him off? Her lips pursed together
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 70: What If You Poison Me?
Ellena sliced the tomatoes and beef, cooking up tomato beef noodles for the both of them. As she was slicing the beef, “Nicklaus” stood by her side and didn't leave. Ever since he had apologized, he had been standing there this entire time, she noticed. After a while, he uttered, "You cut slowly." Her gaze became incredulous. The man had never even cooked in his life before, and he was insulting her? Cutting them into strips even faster, Ellena looked up at him. "If you plan on commenting on my every move, then I suggest you get out. It's best that you don't stand in the way." It was the middle of the night, and after the argument they just had, the loneliness felt even more prominent. Edward didn’t want to stay in the dining room alone, so he decided to stand over the counter and watch her move around. He raised his eyebrows, quickly finding an excuse. "I must watch you. What if you do poison me? I'm not looking to die just yet." "You think I'm that stupid? How could I jeopard
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 71: What You Said Will Depend on How You Handle
Edward slowly stood up and looked at Frederick coldly. "You are old. Don't make a big fuss over these small matters in the future."The subtext was that Frederick should not interfere in his matters.Frederick was a smart and wise man. He immediately understood the meaning of his words.He was so angry that he wanted to throw something, but he forcefully held it back.Owen walked up to him and poured him a glass of water. "Sir, have a glass of water to calm your anger. Young Master is still young. He will understand your hard work in the future."Frederick sighed. "I hope so."Edward came out of the tea house and took out his phone to call Ellena.But on the next second, he took out his phone and put it back.He was looking forward to how Ellena would handle this matter.…Ellena was almost late.She went to the room and sat down. She had a sharp feeling that everyone was looking at her. Furthermore, the way they looked at her was very strange.Ellena took out her phone and took a loo
