102 What Do You Want?
“Are you still trying to lie to me?”
Christian hung up the call and without further ado immediately threw the phone in the trash.
Ella could only look at her phone that was thrown around like a worthless item with wide eyes.
She had already spent millions to get that phone! And now she had no more money to buy a new one.
She had to struggle just to feed herself, let alone to get a new cell phone.
At the thought of how poor she was, Ella felt hurt.
She really wanted to run to the trash and get her phone back, but she still had her pride. She didn’t want to look like a totally desperate cheap woman.
Even though her heart was actually crying...
Christian saw where Ella’s eyes were. He felt very angry when he saw Ella was really looking at her phone and immediately grabbed her hand. “Do you really care about-”
.....
“Of course!”
Ella answered without thinking. She didn’t have time to think about what Christian meant. Right now, the only thing she could think about was her phone!
The price of the cell phone was millions! How could she not care?
If she was still the eldest daughter of the Maheswara Family, she would probably have gone straight to buying the latest mobile phone regardless of her old one.
Unfortunately, she’s not the daughter of the Maheswara Family anymore...
Christian gripped her wrist stronger and harder.
Ella still cared about Haikal?
It turned out that this woman did have a purpose in approaching him from the start. And unexpectedly, Ella managed to attract his attention and even toyed with him.
Didn’t this woman say she wanted revenge?
Did that mean she wanted to expel her stepmother and stepsister from the Maheswara Family and then marry Haikal?
As this thought popped into his mind, Christian felt even more irritated. “Do you want to leave me?”
The sudden question made Ella turn and look at Christian with a surprised look.
She didn’t understand how the topic of the conversation could change so quickly.
When did she say she wanted to leave Christian?
Even if Christian threw her away now, Ella would still try to chase him.
She still needed Christian to reach her goals!
It would make more sense for Christian to want to leave her...
Did that mean Christian wanted to dump her now?
Christian’s face grew darker. “You dare to think about him, it means that you have prepared yourself to face the consequences, right?”
After saying this, Christian immediately dragged Ella back into his study, ignoring Laras who was still beside him.
Laras still stood where she was until the door to the room closed with a bang.
She still couldn’t believe it!
Laras had never seen Christian like this before.
What did Christian say just now?
Why didn’t the man dump Ella?
Why didn’t the man throw her out?
At the thought of this, Laras’ heart was beating like crazy.
“No... No way...”
Laras mumbled a few times, turned around and walked towards the secretary’s room. She couldn’t believe Christian would do all this.
She thought, Christian would immediately throw the shameless woman out of his sight.
But why did everything turn out like this?
Why didn’t her plan work?
...
After entering the study, Christian immediately grabbed Ella’s hand and pushed her onto the sofa.
Ella frowned at the pain in her wrist and in her butt from the hard landing on the sofa. She curled up slightly as she looked at this sinister man, as if it was a spontaneous reaction of fear of losing her life.
She could clearly see that Christian really hated her now.
Ella felt that she had been very unlucky in the last few days. Even though she had experienced five years of suffering in a mental hospital, it didn’t mean she was immune to torture.
She did not want to be tortured by Christian.
If this continued, it would eventually destroy her from within.
“Christian, calm down.”
Ella got to her feet and tried to calm Christian down.
Inwardly, she repeatedly reminded herself to be patient in dealing with Christian. “I know that compared to that head secretary of yours, you must trust her more than me. You won’t believe me even if I explain until my mouth is foaming. That’s why, I won’t explain anything. I just hope that one day, you find out the truth and apologize to me.”
Ella raised her head and her gaze was stubborn.
Ella was not a woman who was easy to bow her head in front of other people. If she was really innocent, Ella would try to defend herself.
However, Ella couldn’t do this with Christian.
In her relationship with Christian, she was the one who was always at a disadvantage.
She needed Christian, while Christian could easily replace her.
It would be difficult to find a replacement for Christian, while there were so many women who hoped to take her place by Christian’s side.
Even though she was stubborn, she still needed Christian to achieve her goals.
She had to be patient...
Christian nodded and moved closer to Ella. “You better not use your tricks on me. Otherwise, you know how I will deal with you!”
Even though Christian said it coldly, Ella still looked at him fearlessly. She nodded and said, “I have already signed a contract with you. I won’t break it.”
Her eyes were clear, there wasn’t a single lie in them.
Christian could see all that. He stepped forward and hugged Ella’s waist before kissing those clear eyes gently.
This was an illusion for Ella.
One second Christian would be very rude and the next he would be very gentle. This tenderness was like an illusion, an illusion that Ella yearned for.
Ella took this opportunity to hug Christian back. They both hugged each other for a long time.
After a while, Christian finally said, “Go back home.”
Ella was surprised to hear that. She didn’t think Christian would just let her go.
But of course not.
Christian was a vengeful man. “Don’t contact him anymore. I will spare you this time.”
When talking about Haikal, Christian got annoyed. He didn’t know what Haikal’s position was in Ella’s heart. He didn’t know if what Ella said was the truth or a lie.
Ella could feel the doubt in Christian’s heart and immediately made a promise to him. “I won’t take his calls again,” he said, nodding. After that, she asked, “But we... us... how long will it be?”
Ella took a deep breath and held it, waiting for Christian’s response.
Haikal and Indri were engaged and would soon be married. Ella only wanted the house her mother left behind. She did not want her mother’s legacy to be destroyed by that evil mother and daughter.
