ログインThree days later, after Ella had rested, Tiesto finally allowed both families to visit.
They arrived together.
Jada brought soup.
Lora prepared a table full of dishes.
After three days of bland food, Ella’s mouth had gone tasteless.
Her eyes lit up at the sight of real food.
“Eat more, eat more,” Lora urged lovingly.
After eating her fill, Ella hugged the fruit Tiesto had washed for her and asked casually, “So… ho
If Ms. Darla hadn’t been pressing her so urgently, Christine wouldn’t have come to Jada to borrow money.Ms. Darla seemed to have gotten a taste for it. Whenever she asked Christine for money, she came quickly.Every few days she would show up, asking for huge sums—often seven figures.The money Christine had on hand had long since been drained dry.She had already borrowed from everyone she could.Jada’s business card lay glaring in front of her. Christine murmured an apology and stood up to leave.Jada shook her head. “That child… she’s becoming more and more…”Ella pushed the dessert toward her and said with a smile, “Mom, have something to eat.”“You’re still the sweetest,” Jada said with a fond sigh. “Come to think of it, the past few times I’ve seen Christine, she’s seemed increasingly petty and narrow-minded. Could it
Three days later, after Ella had rested, Tiesto finally allowed both families to visit.They arrived together.Jada brought soup.Lora prepared a table full of dishes.After three days of bland food, Ella’s mouth had gone tasteless.Her eyes lit up at the sight of real food.“Eat more, eat more,” Lora urged lovingly.After eating her fill, Ella hugged the fruit Tiesto had washed for her and asked casually, “So… how are things outside?”Jada spoke bluntly. “Piper miscarried. Nathan is half-crippled. Kidnapping and attempted assault—they’ll both be sentenced.“And when the Miller family found out it was Piper who encouraged him, they nearly beat her to death. That family is unbelievable—never reflect on failing to raise their son properly, just blame everything on her.”Ella continued eating fruit.They had brought this upon themselves.
Ella’s hair stood on end. She hadn’t expected this couple to be so utterly shameless.Bound as she was, she could only feign compliance.“This isn’t something we can’t discuss reasonably. Release me first, and we can talk,” Ella said.“Release you? Impossible!” Piper declared. “Nathan, since she’s tied up, take care of it now!”A gleam of desire flashed in Nathan’s eyes.Ella’s allure had never diminished for him.“Nathan, this is rape! This is a crime!” Ella warned.Nathan hesitated.Piper added, “Don’t worry. Later, I’ll tell everyone I saw Ella seduce you. It’s an undeniable fact that she liked you before. No one will doubt it. And even if Tiesto shows up, they’ll blame Ella, not us!”Hearing this, Nathan’s resolve hardened. He crouched in front of Ella.“
Garreth came to ask Ms. Darla for money again.“Mom, give me some more.”“There’s nothing left! Everything’s gone. You know it’s all lost in Christine’s business. Save what you have; I’ll figure something out.”“When will this end?” Garreth grumbled. He was in debt outside, desperately needing money. “The young masters aren’t helping?”“They said what’s lost in Christine’s company has nothing to do with them.”“Damn it!” Garreth cursed. “Rich people have no conscience!”He leaned toward his mother. “Mom, why don’t we just kidnap Christine… then do this and that…”Ms. Darla’s face went pale. “Absolutely not! She’s the daughter of the Pratt family! Remember, no matter what, you cannot lay a hand on her! Understand?”Garreth could only respond, &
Piper and the Miller family’s investment was completely wiped out.On her drive back to the Miller residence, her phone rang nonstop—calls from Mrs. Miller and the sisters-in-law.She answered one.The eldest sister’s voice nearly pierced her eardrum with rage.After that, Piper didn’t dare answer another call.Her heart pounded with fear. She didn’t dare go home.Not only was their money gone—she had also persuaded Nathan to invest heavily.Now there was nothing left.She couldn’t imagine what would be waiting for her when she walked through that door.Her hands trembled on the steering wheel.…Inside Milo’s office.Christine stood in front of him, crying. “Milo, please help me.”“How do you expect me to help?” he asked calmly.“That batch of clothes represents my hard work. Go talk to Ella and Tiesto
The long gown nearly tripped Ella.But Tiesto was quick—he caught her steadily and held her close.“Thank you, my love,” Ella said, her heart overflowing with words she couldn’t fully express.One simple “thank you” felt insufficient, yet it was all she could manage in that moment.Meanwhile, Christine’s live broadcast was still running, appearing on the giant screens here as well.She was losing her temper in front of the reporters: “Stop filming! I said stop filming! Can’t you understand human language?”But the flashes kept going off, creating a chaotic scene.Soon, a group of people approached her.“Go away, all of you!” Christine didn’t want to talk to anyone. She was upset and overwhelmed.The lead person spoke firmly: “I am Ella Hart’s lawyer, representing her. Pratt Corp’s designer
The comments that had once questioned her now turned into outright scolding.Her recent spike in views and engagement became a weapon against her.Finally realizing she had overlooked crucial details, she hastily ended the live stream.On Ella’s side, she had considered ending it too—but viewers be
Star Media.The moment Ella walked into the office, Monica came over.She was holding a cup of iced latte, her expression awkwardly ingratiating.“Ella… I bought you this. About yesterday—can we just let it go?” she asked.There was embarrassment in her tone.But not much sincerity.Ella didn’t tak
Lora opened the box and gasped at the contents.“This is far too expensive. We can’t accept this…” she said quickly.Nathan replied casually, “It’s nothing special. Please, just take it. This gold necklace is for you. The gold bracelet is for Ella. The cigarettes, liquor, and supplements are for Mr
Ella delayed telling Tiesto about the parental visit until Friday.When she finally called her mother, Lora sounded delighted. “Of course we’re free this weekend! It’s rare you both get time off. We should all have dinner together.”“Tiesto wants to come visit you and Dad. Is that convenient?”“Con
