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
Ellena stood behind Daniel and took half a step back. She wanted to stay away from this man. She put a look of confusion in her face. “I really didn’t do it.” "Daniel, what are you trying to say? Are you trying to protect this ugly bitch?” Naomi said angrily. If looks could kill, the other two would've already been ten feet into the ground. "What the hell are you talking about? She's your sister!" Now, he was starting to see her true colors, the more he looked, the more he disliked Naomi. Naomi, however, still didn't back down. She had been spoiled ever since she was young, always getting what she wanted when she asked for it. "Stop pretending to be such an angel. Wasn't it your idea to frame her? To get her to admit that she stole my fiancé? If anything, you played a part in this too!" “Even if I did, it's because I believed in all your nonsense. But now I've finally seen who the real monster is." Daniel replied. "Real monster? Oh, you haven't seen nothing
Although her vision was a bit hazy, Ellena's consciousness was still somewhat clear. She could feel two men were supporting her on each side. The loud noises echoing from the bar had gotten softer and softer, and her surroundings became darker with each step. There were strong. No matter how hard she struggled under their grip, they still wouldn't let go. It was obvious that she couldn't break free just by doing this anymore. "Where are you taking me?" Her voice was hoarse and unsteady. She wanted to shout for help, but they were already nearing the exit. Even if she did scream, nobody would've heard her. Even if someone heard, they wouldn’t care. Ellena felt that she had been brought into a room and her entire body being thrown onto the bed. Bending her arms, she tried to support herself to sit up, but she was limp. So she fell once again. What the hell had they given her to make her so nauseous? Just then she heard their conversations. "You sent
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. Although Ellena wasn't any b
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
