2022-03-15 14:18:02The next morning, Ellena was woken up by the ringing of her cellphone. She slowly opened her watery eyes and glanced at the phone who was kept vibrating at the side.
To keep up her appearance of being a simple girl, she still used the old machine which could only make phone calls and send messages. Buying a smartphone would make her like her other family members and she couldn’t stand to be like them.
She took her phone and looked at the caller ID, and immediately came to her senses.
She hesitated for a moment before she picked up the phone, “Dad.”
Why would he be calling her at this hour?
Ralph Smith’s voice was as serious as always, “You went home yesterday? Who sent you back?”

Paul took the neatly folded newspaper from his side and handed it to Ellena with a solemn expression. The headline was bold and striking, unmistakably referring to the Arnoult Group and Edward’s disappearance.Ellena accepted it calmly, her eyes sweeping across the front page only for a brief second before she folded it again and placed it aside on the coffee table. “I’ve already read it online,” she said with detached poise.In truth, she hadn’t read every word. She didn’t need to. All the headlines said the same thing, about the accident, the disappearance, the missing CEO. She didn’t need words to feel the chaos boiling just under the surface of her carefully constructed calm. She was already living it.Paul remained quiet for a moment, perhaps surprised by her nonchalance. But Ellena had always been strong in her own way. After a moment, he said, “We might hold a press conference next.”Ellena nodd

"I don't know how to do business."A hint of joy flashed across Paul's eyes. "That's okay.

Ellena reached out to the nanny Paul had introduced. The woman was a native of Herton City, living in the quiet outskirts.There was nothing ostentatious about her—no airs or pretense. Just a calm, homely simplicity in the way she spoke and carried herself.Despite everything she had been through lately, Ellena still trusted Paul’s judgment when it came to people. After a short conversation with the nanny over a cup of warm tea, she sensed a kind of grounded warmth in the woman. Perhaps it was the steady gaze or the gentle tone of her voice. Ellena made her decision.The housekeeper moved into Ellena’s home the very next day.Elaine, to Ellena's relief, did not reject the nanny. In fact, she seemed curious—watchful but not hostile. Ellena had braced herself for tears, tantrums, or stubborn silence from her daughter. But there were none. Elaine's quiet acceptance surprised her and, in a strange way, made her feel both hopeful and he

Martin was momentarily speechless after hearing what Ellena said.Her words struck with quiet finality.After a long pause, he finally replied, "But if Edward doesn't show up, someone has to take charge of the Arnoult Group."Ellena's eyes narrowed slightly, a determined glint flashing through her gaze. "Then find him."Her voice was calm, but firm and unyielding. The softness she once reserved for Edward was gone, replaced with resolution. There was no panic in her tone, no hesitation.Martin didn’t argue further. He understood. When Ellena made up her mind, there was no turning back.When they arrived at the entrance of the residential area, they decided to head together to Chloe’s apartment.Chloe, still recovering from her leg injury, had been resting at home for days. Bored and mostly confined indoors, she’d taken to spending time with Elaine. That day, she was trying to cook butterfly noodles for her.Chloe was far from a great cook. In fact, butterfly noodles might’ve been the
