| ← Ch.0620 | Ch.0622 → |
Ella staggered out of the villa. However, when she walked down the steps, her legs gave in and she fell on her knees.
Ouch! She was in pain but Ella suppressed a scream. She managed to stand up, supporting herself with her arms and palms on the ground.
Dawn was approaching. Ella covered her body with Samuel's suit jacket and walked to the gate.
After cursing at Samuel numerous times, Ella remembered that his phone was still in the jacket's pocket.
Her hands groped around the suit, made from expensive fabrics, and felt the phone in the right side of the jacket.
She switched it on and called Eden. She could recall his number from memory.
Eden was sleeping soundly. When he heard the phone ring, he cursed. Whoever called him now was definitely a masochist, he thought."Who is it? Who is calling at this ungodly hour?" Eden shouted through the phone, almost deafening Ella in the process.
"Calm down. It's me. Come and pick me up."
Hearing Ella's voice, Eden was puzzled for a while: "Ella?" He looked at the strange phone number consisting of consecutive similar numbers, a symbol of power and richness in C Country, and wondered. When did Ella change her number?
"It's me. If you don't show up in half an hour, I'll be on the front-page headline news." She yelled. Damned Samuel. Ella made up her mind to take her revenge and let Samuel taste the shame he had brought to her.
Ella rubbed her aching mouth and walked for twenty minutes. She needed to get home soon.
Eden arrived at the gate of The Royal Mansion in a car, thirty minutes later.
Although there was no-one on the road, Ella didn't dare to stand there without disguise. She hid herself in the tall grass.
Seeing Eden, she sprang out from her hiding place surrounded by tall grass.
Ella's hair was a mess. She was draped in a man's suit jacket and her skirt was quite wrinkled. Seeing her emerge, Eden couldn't help but assume the worst.
"Stop thinking about nonsense. Take me home now." Looking at Eden's expression, Ella was quite embarrassed. Covering her face with the suit jacket, Ella walked to Eden's car.
What a shame!
Ella ignored all of Eden's questions on their way home."Ask for leave for me this morning. Just say I'm sick and won't be going in today."
Arriving at her apartme
"Let's go and register our marriage on your birthday!"
Marrying Daniel should have been her best birthday gift, but everything was ruined the moment when she caught him sleeping with another woman on the day before her birthday.
"He's going to marry that woman! She... was my best friend!"
ve your phone to great grandma this morning." Although Jerry was not yet 5 years old, his IQ was much higher than that of his peers. Therefore, he had fast reactions and could tell lies without thinking.
A strange lady? Samuel sneered: "Jerry, are you sure she's a strange lady?" Samuel was distracted by Jerry's pretending not to know Ella.
Don't think I didn't see you and Ella's picture last time. I will get even with Ella for this sooner or later. Samuel's thoughts remained unvoiced.
However, thinking about Ella's "service" last night, Samuel was quite satisfied.
He had dismissed her harshly but deliberately, for the sake of polishing and smoothening her pride and rebellious nature.
"Samuel, do you want to talk to great grandma?" Jerry was smart and chose not to answer Samuel's question. He decided to ask an adult to deal with this tough situation.
Samuel didn't care that his son had called him by his first name.
"No. I'll come to the old house and get my phone tonight." After saying this, Samuel suddenly realised that he seemed to ignore something important just now.
"Bye, Daddy Samuel." Jerry hang up the phone immediately. Then, he saw Melody giving him a thumbs up while covering Jane's mouth.
"Well done, Jerry!" He could fool his father when he was five. Such talents would make him a better lawyer than his father.
Jerry sunk into the sofa, his heart fluttering with fear. In fact, he was afraid of his father. If Samuel was there and stared at his eyes, he wouldn't have said a word.
