Nicklaus raised his head and carefully looked at Ellena's expression.

He noticed that Ellena's expression was normal, so he continued, "Sister Jolene is a photographer. When she went to take pictures of snow, she encountered an avalanche. The rescue team never found her."

When he said the last few words, Nicklaus's voice became softer.

Ellena was stunned and did not know what to say for a moment.

"When did that happen?" Ellena looked up and asked him.

Nicklaus said, "Five years ago."

  • 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."

    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,

    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.”

    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

    Ellena was too nervous. The force in her hand was especially strong.She felt the man above her stiffen for a moment and she called out in a tight voice. "Edward?""Ellena." Edward's voice became a little slow. He only called her name and his entire body drooped down heavily.Ellena hurriedly turned he

    No matter how much Ellena screamed at Edward, Edward's expression didn't change even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.When Ellena calmed down completely, Edward stood up and walked over. He brought her to the dining table and said without any emotion, "Eat."Ellena looked at him coldly and di

    Edward's expression froze slightly, but it didn't ease up much.He stared intently at Ellena, his gaze sharp as if he wanted to see through her. "What were you thinking when you were in the basement just now? Do you want to strangle Naomi?"Ellena suddenly raised her head and widened her eyes to look

    Ellena got out of the car and entered the villa.As she walked into the villa, she turned around and looked outside the door.When she could not see Edward's car outside the villa, she squatted on the ground and quickly walked to the small house in the basement.After she went in, she closed the door a
