Ellena's voice fell and the carriage fell into a strange silence. She looked at Paul who was driving in front and then turned to look at “Nicklaus”. Seeing that he was lost in thought, she reached out and patted him. "You still haven't told me what your cousin likes to eat." Edward came back to his senses and looked at her deeply. After a few seconds, he said, "He is not picky about food. He eats everything." He was telling the truth. Ellena's cooking was very good. He had been eating her cooking for so long and every dish tasted good. Ellena felt that he said it as if he did not say anything. After that, "Nicklaus" was very quiet and did not speak again. She did not know what he was thinking about. The first thing she did when she got home was to find Edward. She ran to the door of the study and knocked on it. No one opened the door for a long time. When she went downstairs, she met “Nicklaus”. She asked him curiously, "Didn't you say Edward was at home? I just knocked on t
Ellena's words were a little harsh. However, that was what she thought in her heart. Although Madeline seemed to be living a wealthy life in the Smith family, compared to other rich ladies, she was relatively easy to support. Most of the time, Madeline was making food and clothing for Ralph and the other two. Although 50 million was not a small amount, Ralph definitely could afford it. However, Ralph might not be willing to take out 50 million. Naomi was obviously angry, but she forcefully suppressed her anger and said, "If we have money, we are naturally willing to take out 50 million. But the problem now is that we do not have money!" "If you do not have money then borrow it." Ellena could not be bothered to argue with Naomi anymore. She turned to look at Ralph and called him, "Dad!" Ralph frowned. "If this is true, no matter what, I will gather 50 million. But there are only two hours. Where am I going to raise this money?" Ellena was a little surprised. She did not expect
Ellena was driving while paying attention to whether Ralph and the others' cars had caught up with her. When she was about to reach the abandoned garage, there was a sharp turn. After Ellena turned the corner, she did not see Ralph and his car again. She parked the car at the entrance of the abandoned garage. The rusted shutter door of the garage was pulled open from the inside. A tall and big man walked out. He wore a mask and looked at Ellena gloomily. "You are Ellena?" "Yes." Ellena nodded. "Did you bring the money?" Ellena calmly said, "I want to see my mother first!" The man looked around and confirmed that she was alone. He turned around and walked inside. "Come in with me." Ellena followed him in. The old abandoned warehouse was in tatters. There was a thick layer of dust on the floor. It was empty and messy. There were many things in the warehouse. Ellena followed behind him and saw Madeline tied to a chair from afar. Madeline's hair that was usually meticulously
Out of instinct for survival, Ellena struggled violently and fell to the ground with the chair."F * ck!"The kidnapper cursed and kicked Ellena in the stomach. He reached out to pull her hair and was about to pull her up.His kick was a bit powerful. Ellena was in so much pain that she broke out in cold sweat.She no longer had any other thoughts in her mind. She only wanted to avoid the kidnapper's disgusting hand.The kidnapper pulled her hair, and before he could pull her up, the door was kicked open from the outside.Bang!A loud sound was very sudden and abrupt.Ellena's head hurt from being pulled by the man. She pursed her lips and looked towards the door.When she saw the familiar figure standing at the door, she let fear and fear flood her like a tide. Her tears fell one after another like a river.Although she was crying, her voice did not tremble. Instead, she smiled at the person at the door and said, "Nicklaus, you're here."When Ellena saw "Nicklaus," she realized that
In the dark night, Nicklaus's voice sounded a little hoarse. It sounded like Edward's voice. Ellena was stunned for a moment. She felt that “Nicklaus” was unusual tonight. She was the one who was kidnapped. She had slept for a while and her mood had almost calmed down. However, "Nicklaus" seemed to be in a very bad mood. His entire body was covered with a layer of gloomy aura. He was hard to figure out, but it also made people involuntarily feel fear in their hearts. Ellena hesitated for a moment, but still got out of the car. She walked to “Nicklaus” and stood behind him. She asked him softly, "What's wrong with you?" "Nicklaus" did not say anything. He extinguished the cigarette in his hand and turned around. In the night, although Ellena could not see his face clearly, she could still feel the heavy pressure coming from him. Suddenly, the man standing in front of her lowered his head and kissed her lips. He kissed her hard and his breathing was so burning that Ellena tingl
When "Nicklaus" heard Ellena's words, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. He looked at her thoughtfully but only said faintly, "Let's go." Ellena followed behind him with a complicated expression. Everyone was easily controlled by their emotions. She did not hate Nicklaus anymore. Instead, she felt grateful and admired him. If he was not Edward's cousin, if she did not marry Edward... But this way, the problem returned to its original point. If she did not marry Edward, with her status, she would not be able to interact with “Nicklaus” for the rest of her life. This was an unsolvable problem. Fate was so ridiculous, but there was nothing she could do about it. The two of them got into the car. "Nicklaus" suddenly asked her, "How do you plan to get that black card back?" Ellena smiled. "Of course I will think of a way." "Aren't you afraid that cousin will pursue this matter?" "Nicklaus" quietly probed her. "If he wants to pursue this matter, he would have already come
Naomi's hair stood on end when Ellena looked at her. Even her body stiffened.She wanted to appear calm and smile, but the fear in her eyes was too obvious. This way, her facial expression became very strange, like an epileptic seizure.Everyone in the elevator noticed Naomi's abnormal behavior, but no one made a sound.Ellena slowly walked in front of Naomi. She held Naomi's arm with one hand and touched the fabric of the latter’s coat with the other. She said with envy, "Sister, this dress is newly bought, right? It's so beautiful. It looks very expensive."If it was during normal times, Naomi would definitely flaunt this dress of hers to Ellena. But now, Ellena, who she thought was dead, appeared in front of her again. She did not even have the mood to flaunt.Furthermore, this dress she was wearing was bought with Ellena's black card."It's not very expensive." Ellena's arm softly hooked around Naomi’s arm, making her feel as if she was entangled by a poisonous snake. It was as if
"Thank you." Ellena smiled at Madeline. Although Ellena was thanking her, Madeline felt that there was a deeper meaning in her smile. Her cat eyes seemed to have understood everything. Madeline could not help but shiver. The chopsticks in her hand could not be held firmly for a moment and fell to the ground. Ellena bent over to help her pick up the chopsticks and said, "Mom, you must hold the chopsticks steadily. If you drop them again, I might not be able to help you pick up the chopsticks." Her tone was slow and her tone was gentle. But when Madeline heard it, she felt that there was a deeper meaning to it. Madeline frowned and put on a smile again, "I was just careless." "Is that so?" Ellena smiled and stood up, "I am full. I will go out first." Actually, she did not eat much. Ralph frowned as he watched Ellena walk out. He felt that there was something strange about Ellena. The moment Ellena walked out of Ralph's office, the expression on her face completely disappeared,
