She looked at Edward for a while, then slowly said, "You actually planned to return to the Arnoult Group a long time ago? You just didn't agree to grandfather's request. You deliberately made him to come to me to persuade you, right?"

    Ellena did not say anything else.The exhaustion she had felt moments earlier still lingered in her chest, making her unwilling to continue the conversation. No matter what she said, Edward would simply stand there quietly and listen. No matter how much sarcasm she threw at him, he would not argue back.That kind of reaction made her feel strangely powerless.She walked forward and opened the car door, her movements calm but slightly stiff. Edward followed closely behind her, his steps unhurried, as if he had already grown accustomed to silently staying beside her.The underground parking lot was brightly lit.The sound of their footsteps echoed faintly against the concrete floor.Neither of them spoke.The atmosphere between them remained complicated and restrained.When Ellena got into the car and had not yet fully settled into her seat, her phone suddenly rang. The ringtone broke the silence inside the vehicle.She lo

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 856. Inactive Response

    Martin no longer carried out any public relations actions after Edward personally told him about the situation.

    Edward looked at Ellena with an expressionless face. His gaze was calm and cold, without the slightest ripple of emotion. There was no anger, no joy, and no impatience in his eyes. It was as if her sharp words had never reached him at all.Ellena raised her head as well and met his gaze directly.She did not retreat.Her eyes were equally steady, equally stubborn. She refused to show weakness, refused to look away first. The air between them grew heavy, as if an invisible force was pressing down on the room.“Ellena,” Martin suddenly spoke, his voice tense.A thin layer of cold sweat had already formed on his back.Among everyone Martin knew, Ellena was the only person who dared to scold Edward like this. No one else would ever dare to speak to Edward in such a tone.No.It was not that others did not want to. It was that no one dared.The two of them continued to look at each other in silence. Seconds passed slowly, stretching endlessly. Finally, it was Edward who looked away first.H

    Ellena heard Chloe’s words and could not help but smile faintly. The tension in her shoulders eased slightly, though the heaviness in her heart did not completely fade.After she sat down, Martin handed the menu over to her with one hand. “Please order,” he said, his tone polite but his eyes still carrying traces of lingering irritation from earlier.Ellena took the menu, but she did not open it immediately. Her fingers paused against the smooth cover, and her expression slowly became complicated. After a brief silence, she said quietly, “I saw Edward.”The moment those words left her mouth, Martin’s posture changed.He immediately sat up straight, his eyes widening as he leaned forward. “Where is he?” he asked, his voice rising uncontrollably.Because he was too agitated, the movement was abrupt. The chair beneath him scraped harshly against the floor, producing an ear piercing sound that echoed briefly in the private room.Ellena glanced at him and continued calmly, “He came to see

    In the conference room, all the important public relations staff were present. Everyone sat upright, their expressions serious, as if they already sensed that this meeting was not an ordinary one. The atmosphere was tense and quiet, with only the faint sound of breathing and the soft hum of the air conditioner filling the space.After Ellenatook her seat at the head of the table, she slowly looked around at everyone present. Her gaze was calm, yet it carried an invisible pressure that made people subconsciously straighten their backs.“Do you know why I called an emergency meeting?” she asked.Her voice was steady, without any obvious emotion, but it was precisely this calmness that made the room feel even more solemn.Paulhad always been meticulous in his work. After he informed the public relations department that the meeting was going to be held, he had already vaguely guessed the reason. He had briefly browsed the news related

His footsteps were steady, and the door closed quietly behind him.The office returned to silence.Ellenasat alone in front of the desk. Her gaze lingered on the documents for a moment before she slowly reached out and took out Edward’s pen from the drawer. The pen rested in her palm, cool and familiar, as if it carried memories that refused to fade.She had received many pens like this when she was young. Back then, they were nothing more than ordinary writing tools, casually given and easily forgotten. She never imagined that one particular pen would quietly bind her fate to someone else.
