Chapter 6: Unexpected Meet
Tanggal publikasi:
2022-03-09 22:17:53Ellena looked straight in Madeline’s eyes, her voice was enough to send anyone running chills. “Apologize? What exactly should I apologize for?”
In Madeline’s memory, this daughter was really smart and beautiful when she was just a child. But the more she grew up, the more ugly and stupid she had become. But this was the first time she saw the sharpness from Ellena’s eyes, and she was totally surprised by this change in temperament.
“Naomi.” Madeline swallowed and turned around to whisper to Naomi, “Let’s forget about today, okay? If there is any chance and she’s mad, I’m afraid…”
Although Naomi was unwilling, she had no choice but to let this matter go.
If Ellena really goes crazy and does something stupid, and ended up angering the Arnoult family, all of them would be placed in jeopardy. Naomi had already escaped her slimy faith with that crippled man just a day ago and she certainly wasn’t going to test her luck a second time.
If Arnoult family really got angry, then how on the earth could they maintain their luxurious life in this rich house?
Seeing that her mother and step-sister were stunned silent, Ellena turned to go upstairs to her room and pack her belongings.
She had been living in the Smith Family mention for over 20 years, yet with the number of clothes and belongs she had in her closet, she always felt that she was a visitor her. After all, it wasn’t as if her mother would take the time off from her busy schedule to please her step-sister and bother with her.
When she went downstairs with her suitcase, the hall was already empty. Madeline wasn’t there to send her off. She must’ve had enough of her already.
But Ellena did not care. The quicker she got out of this house, the better.
However, as soon as she thought of Edward’s cousin waiting for her at the front gates, she hesitated and went around to the back door to left the villa.
Although she didn’t know why that cousin of Edward showed such an interest in her, she knew one thing for sure that she should stay away from him. After all, to piss off a man like Edward Arnoult, was like kissing a death wish. There was no way she could get out of that unscathed.
Outside the front gate, Edward waited for a long time but he didn’t see Ellena coming out. His patience was running out.
What the hell was taking her so long?
Suddenly, the folder from yesterday flashed in his mind, he frowned slightly. No way that ugly woman would be bullied by her own family, right?
As soon as the idea came up, he could not help but touch his face which she had slapped and snored coldly. That woman was like a fierce wildcat. She didn’t seem to be the type who could be easily bullied.
Yet even then, he could not wipe off the uneasiness in his heart.
“Would you like to come in, sir?”
A gentle voice sounded outside the car. Edward turned to look out of the window and saw a woman with delicate features standing gracefully beside the car.
Naomi was stunned when she saw his face.
She saw Ellena and a man kissing in the car, she didn’t able to look at the man’s face. She thought that he might be decent but she didn’t expect the man to be so beautiful and elegant.
How could such an extraordinary man take a fancy to Ellena, that stupid and ugly bumpkin?
Maybe Ellena was the one who had jumped to him after all.
However, it seemed that she was right to walk out to try her luck.
Her thoughts could not hide from the eyes of Edward.
He sneered. “Who are you?”
“I am Ellena’s elder sister. You can call me Naomi.” She didn’t mind Edward’s indifference to her at all.
Naomi?
Now that Edward remembered, there were two daughters in the Smith family. Besides Ellena, the other one was his cheap price fiancée.
Most people would say that Naomi was as beautiful as a flower blooming under the sun, but she wasn’t really his taste. Ellena’s ugly appearance was more pleasing for him.
He didn’t have the patience to talk to her anymore, and asked with an emotionless expression, “Where’s Ellena?”
“She huh… She might still be packing up in her room. She asked me to come down and tell you to come inside.” Naomi didn’t want to let this opportunity pass. All the members of the Arnoult family had both wealth and status, not to mention, they were incredibly good looking.
Seeing through her intentions clearly, Edward couldn’t help sneering.
That woman would actually let him sit inside?
She probably had already escaped right now!
He didn’t even bother to give Naomi an extra look, just closed the window and drove away directly. He had to time for fake niceties.
Naomi didn’t have the chance to say anything as he left her in the dust. She had met so many men in her life and all of them were always so enamored by her beauty and class.
But Naomi had never been treated so coldly by a man. Immediately her face turned blue with anger.
…
Ellena directly returned to the small apartment that she rented.
When she was in the college, she had lived in the school hostel, and later when graduated to an internship, she rented an apartment away from her family home. Although the room wasn’t filled with luxurious goods, it certainly was a new start. And it didn’t have the same leave of emptiness as it did in that hellhole.
If it wasn’t for Madeline who had trapped Ellena in the home all the time so that she could marry into the Arnoult family, she would never step into that home.
Anyway, Edward wasn’t at the villa and didn’t want to see her. So what’s the problem if she wanted to stay her?
After settling back into her home and unpacking some things, it was already afternoon. She quickly got ready again and planned to go out to buy something.
She lived in a famous slum in H City, with inconvenient transportation and a mixture of good and evil people.
As soon as she turned into an alley, she heard a loud bang.
Was it a gunshot?
She didn’t have time to distinguish the situation when she looked up and saw a white van in front of her rushing towards her uncontrollably like a mad dog.
Its headlight flickered from her side and she found herself momentarily frozen from shock. It was only when it was a few inches away from her did she finally dashed to the side.
However, the van didn’t stop there. The door suddenly opened and a tall man jumped from inside.
He tucked his head and rolled right to Ellena’s feet.
She was about to step back, but the man suddenly jumped up and pressed something cold against her temple. The man’s pleasant voice was somewhat familiar, “Get me out of here, quickly.”
When Ellena looked up to see the man’s face clearly, she exclaimed in shock, “Nicklaus!”

Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 835: It Could be Considered a Show of Mercy
Nolan had asked Ellena to come and see Naomi because he wanted them to make peace.However, Ellena's attitude was very obvious. She did not want to make peace with Naomi."Ellena, I don't want to force you to make peace with Naomi. I just feel that..." Nolan tried to use a more euphemistic way of saying it but under Ellena's increasingly cold gaze, his voice gradually faded."Big Brother, if you want me to reconcile with Naomi, unless she sincerely apologizes to me, otherwise..." Ellena's lips curled into a mocking arc, "There will never be a day when we can reconcile.""Naomi has become like this not because of her repentance, but because of her own stupidity. Her current misery is not caused by me. She gets this result because she is so stupid that she wants to ask a tiger for its skin. It is the bitter fruit she brewed. I will not gloat when she is down, but I will not sympathize with her."Ellena's words could not be clearer. Nolan frowned slight

Chloe exchanged glances with Ellena and leaned towards Ellena.Nolan walked to the side of the bed and bent over to call, "Naomi."The person on the bed did not react.Nolan turned around and said to Ellena, "She is asleep."Then, he reached out and lifted Naomi's blanket. Naomi's face was revealed.Chloe who was at the side immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. Ellena's eyes also slightly changed.That was not a normal face. Her entire face was so thin that one could see the shape of bones. Her eye sockets were also deeply sunken. There was only a layer of skin on her cheekbones.It was already impossible to see Naomi's original appearance.Ellena walked two steps closer and at this moment Naomi, who originally had her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes.Because Naomi was now too thin, her eyes appeared to be bigger and looked a little strange.Naomi seemed to have had a nightmare. Her eyes were as wide as

"Oh." She did not seem very concerned.Nolan was silent for a moment. He asked her, "Do you want to see Naomi?"Nolan knew what Naomi had done to Ellena, so when he asked this kind of question, he was still a little embarrassed.Ellena smiled, looking like she wanted to watch the fun, and said, "Okay."Nolan was stunned for a moment and nodded with an uneasy look on his face.It was eight o'clock in the evening when Ellena finished her last meeting.She returned to her office and there was a pile of documents on her desk.Ellena flipped through the documents and turned to Paul. "When do you think I can finish reading them?"Paul lowered his eyes. "President Smith, don't be discouraged. You can deal with as many as you can.""There's still no news of Edward, is there?" Ellena sighed and leaned against the back of the chair, unconsciously turning around.Paul shook his head. "No."
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 832: She Was Willing to Deal with Him
At exactly twelve noon, Ellena was still in her office, eyes slightly tired as she listened to Paul explain the documents stacked before her. He stood beside her desk, his tone calm but firm, analyzing each proposal with practiced clarity.“This one can pass directly,” Paul said, tapping a page with his pen. “It’s a renewal of a previous contract. Nothing has changed.”He flipped to the next. “This one is feasible but needs negotiation. The supplier raised their quote by eight percent. We can bring it down.”Another file. “This one, we should call back immediately. It’s reckless.”Ellena leaned her elbow on the desk, supporting her temple. She was listening, absorbing what she could, though her body ached with fatigue. She hadn’t had a proper meal all day. There was just too much to do, too much to process.After a moment of silence, she spoke up, almost absentmindedly. “Paul,
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 831: Fame and Fortune
Paul was startled by Ellena’s words.He looked at her with a complicated expression. There was a flicker of surprise, then understanding, then something else. It was filled with respect, perhaps, or regret.“When Mr. Arnoult was still around,” Paul said quietly, “I once asked him this question too, about whether you could sell the company if it ever came to you. He told me... it was up to you.”Ellena turned her face slightly, brows raised in genuine surprise. She could not see her expression, but she could feel the disbelief, the faint irony curling at the edges of her mouth.She stared down at the documents, silent for a moment. Then she sneered, not at Paul but at the strange foresight Edward had always possessed. “He really did think of everything, didn’t he?”Paul didn’t answer. Instead, he glanced at his watch and smoothly changed the subject. “The meeting is about to start.”
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 830: Sell the Arnoult Group
The next morning, Ellena dressed in a crisp black suit and tied her hair into a low, elegant bun. Her face looked calm, composed but her heart was heavier than she let on.This was her first official visit to the Arnoult Group after the news of her takeover had gone public.Though she had been connected to the company in name through Edward for years, this was the first time she walked into its halls with true authority. With a title. With power. And with pressure.Paul arrived at her house right on time to escort her to the office.The moment the black car pulled into the underground parking lot, employees began to take notice. And when Ellena stepped out in heels, sharp lines, and an unreadable expression, their murmurs followed her like a low, curious wave.Some watched with blatant curiosity.Some with restrained skepticism.And some with open disdain.After all, in their eyes, Ellena had never truly belonged to this world of n

After sending Chloe off, only Ellena, Vincent and Spencer were left at the door of the court.Vincent said to Ellena, "I'll send you back. We can talk about something along the way."Ellena did not have any objections. She nodded and turned to leave.Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of somethin

Ellena thought for a moment and replied, "Yes.""Yes?” Martin reached out and touched his forehead. He said sincerely, "You are still so calm. Do you think Edward will let you go?"Ellena replied, "No."Martin looked at Ellena's calm face and was very anxious. "Aren't you afraid of him?"Ellena was

Before Ellena could say anything, Vincent had already walked towards the door.She raised her head to look at the door and found that Vincent was standing by the door and did not open it.Vincent turned back and smiled at her. "No one."After he finished speaking, he turned a
