Ever since the last time she fought with Natalie in Edward's villa, Sophia had a grudge against Ellena. She hated Ellena even more. When she saw Ellena, she did not have a good expression. She glanced at Ellena and looked away in disdain. Cyrus and Edward had recently escalated their conflicts because of the termination of the contract. Therefore, none of the four took the initiative to talk to each other. The atmosphere in the hall had become stiff and annoying. Ellena felt uncomfortable all over. On the other hand, Edward did not look strange at all. He even reached out his hand and picked a few large Hawaii fruits from the fruit plate on the coffee table. He peeled them off and handed them to Ellena. Ellena admired him for being able to remain calm at a time like this. Since he acted as if nothing had happened, Ellena's heart also calmed down. In any case, it was just acting. Whoever acted more realistically would be the winner. "It's quite crisp. You eat one too." Ellena s
Frederick was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. He stared at Edward for a long time before he said, "Very good!"Ellena was frightened by what she saw.Luckily Frederick was healthy. Otherwise, he would get sick from anger sooner or later.“Humph!”Edward sneered. "You know the current situation of the Arnoult Group well. Those share-holders control more than half of the Group’s equity and they have made many false accounts, do you know that?”If it wasn't because of the terrible situation of the Arnoult Group, he wouldn't have worked overtime frequently during that period of time.Frederick knew Edward was telling the truth, so he didn't say anything.He let out a long sigh and asked Edward, "Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about Cyrus."Edward raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, waiting for Frederick to continue."You ran a film company outside. Cyrus has been working in your company all these years, right? But you canceled the contract with him, didn’t you?”
That's what people do sometimes. For people who have never made a mistake, or rather, rarely made a mistake, as long as they make a small mistake, their mistakes will be magnified infinitely.Also, those who have committed such heinous crimes, as long as they do a good deed, they will be magnified infinitely.Most of the time, people were more tolerant towards evil people.Ellena was not sure about the authenticity of the news about Cyrus, but she knew that Cyrus's reputation would definitely suffer a heavy blow.After all, he was a male actor she had liked for so many years. Ellena's mood was a little complicated.Along the way, Ellena's mood was a little down. When she returned home, she could not help but ask Edward, "Is this true?"Ellena suddenly understood why Edward wanted to give Cyrus a chance when Cyrus had asked someone to secretly take pictures of her and bring her to trending search.Because the current her was the same as Edward at that time.Putting aside his identity a
In the end, they didn't watch a movie. Ellena had been chatting with Nicklaus.Nicklaus lived overseas for a long time and did not have many friends in the country. These words were probably held in his heart for too long. He could not find anyone to confide in.Coincidentally, Ellena was willing to listen and he said everything.From the things he said, she could vaguely hear some clues.Nicklaus’s parents pretended to have a good relationship. He had a brother who looked gentle on the surface but actually killed small animals. These things would indeed have some effect on Nicklaus at his age.When Ellena came out of the screening room, she coincidentally met Edward who was going in to look for her.She walked in front while Nicklaus followed behind.Edward's face was dark. He was obviously angry at Nicklaus's action of calling Ellena to watch the movie.Ellena was already tired from dealing with the people from the Arnoult family. She had promised to go to rest but was even dragged
Ellena's temper rose when she heard this.When she heard that his hand was injured, she was kind enough to care about him. What kind of tone was this!?"Edward Arnoult, I will give you a chance to speak again." She walked to Edward's desk and slapped the open document in front of him.Edward rubbed his forehead and sighed. "Baby, I really have work to do."Fine! She saw that his tone was much better than before. She didn't argue with him anymore.But Ellena still asked worriedly, "Are you really not injured?""No." When this matter was brought up, Edward's expression became a little strange.Ellena went out in confusion.When she went downstairs, she met Jessie."Young Madame, is the injury on young master's hand serious?" Jessie asked seriously."His hand is not injured."Ellena thought about it and asked her, "Jessie, why do you think his hand is injured? When I came back with him from the old residence, he was still fine.""Before, I was supposed to bring you soup, but in the corri
Naomi's voice was a little hoarse and was full of hatred, "Ellena, aren’t you very proud to have sent me to prison? But you did not expect that I would come out so soon." The last few words she said made her gnash her teeth, as if she wanted to crawl over from the phone and bite Ellena. But Ellena only said lightly," Those who do bad things will have retribution. " When Naomi heard that, she sneered in disdain, "Let's wait and see." Ellena's originally good mood was completely ruined by Naomi's phone call. She did not want to hear Naomi say some nonsense like a psychopath anymore and directly hung up the phone. She turned her head and saw that Edward was looking at her. Those dark eyes flickered with emotions that she could not understand. Thinking about it, he should have heard the conversation between her and Naomi. Naomi this person was really interesting. As soon as she got out of prison, she called her to agitate Ellena. However, she already knew that Cyrus would think of
Alfred frowned and said, "Let's eat first."It had been notified early that Alfred wanted everyone to come for the lunch.Although Alfred had retired, he was the head of Arnoult family and had absolute authority.Everyone had to respect him.Of course, except for Edward.Even Alfred couldn't do anything to Edward.Alfred was a conservative person and especially liked the new year.When Ellena came over in the morning, Alfred had sent people to tell her that they had to stay here for a family reunion if there wasn’t anything that required urgent attention.Tomorrow was New Year's Eve and the day after was the first day of the new year.The Arnoult family was a big family. There would be many guests coming and going from the first day of the new year, so everyone had to be busy.Cyrus was not at home for lunch today, so Alfred was naturally unhappy.Ellena thought maliciously that if Alfred knew that Cyrus was going to pick Naomi up and get her out of prison today, she did not know how
Ellena opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.Edward let go of her and said in a rare gentle voice, "You should take an afternoon nap."After she got pregnant, Ellena had the habit of taking an afternoon nap. She did not sleep very long but habitually needed to take a nap.Her mind was a little confused, so she nodded. "Yes."She laid on the bed and closed her eyes, thinking that she would not be able to sleep, but in a short while she fell asleep.Seeing Ellena fall asleep, Edward tucked the corner of the blanket for her and got up to go out.Edward carefully closed the door and walked all the way to a date tree in the yard.That was the tree his mother planted when he was very young. He did not remember exactly how old he was at that time.It was late winter. The date tree was bare without a single leaf. There was not even a single leaf under the tree because there were maids cleaning the yard every day.Footsteps came from behind him.Then came Cyrus's voice. "People say that
