Chapter 23: A Good Show Is about to Begin
Flustered from the previous phone call, Edward didn’t have the time to distinguish who was calling him. He slammed the pen stand against the door and yelled in frustration, “Fuck off!”
He was already pissed off by his sister and didn’t have the time to take care of anyone right now.
Ellena had been standing outside all the time. When she heard the angry roar, she was stunned for a moment. Then without wasting a second, she turned around and left.
Although she didn’t know why he was so pissed off today, she knew she had no position to interfere with it.
After a while, Edward calmed down himself. He raised his head and stared at the ceiling. There were still so many questions left unanswered when it came to the kidnapping years ago. After what happened to his mother, he promised himself to avenge her no matter what.
Paul knocked on the door and came with a stack of document. His expression was calm as if he hadn&r

At the restaurant.As soon as the two sisters faced each other, the atmosphere in the room had dropped a couple of degrees.Naomi placed her bag on the table and raised her chin and spoke arrogantly to Ellena, “Just say what you want to say. I can’t waste time with you. I have a date with Daniel.”She looked at her newly manicured fingers which reflected under the lights as she spoke.She then looked at Ellena. While she was dressed for the gala, her sister was dressed for the barn. It had been so many years, but her ugliness didn’t faded. This woman always looked same, the long dress, unhealthy and spotty skin, coupled with her thick-framed black glasses, ugly as a toad.Such a woman wanted to compete with her for a man?Only those fools on the internet would believe it.Ellena lowered her gaze and looked at the glass on her hand. She rubbed her hands on the glass and suppressed her anger to smash on Naomi&rsq
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 25: Revenge
Ellena was still shaking her head in disbelief. If only she had seen through Naomi's mask a little earlier, she would've found a way to prevent all of this from happening.Just as she stepped out of the restaurant Ellena received a call from Chloe."Come over quickly! The red car across the road.” Chloe said quickly and then hung up the phone.Ellena looked up and saw the red car across the road. As she looked at the direction of the car, it horned twice.Knowing that her friend was in a rush, she immediately walked to the other side of the road and into the vehicle. Ellena turned to the woman beside her. "I didn't expect to see you here.""You don't expect a lot of things.” Chloe stepped on the accelerator. “How was it? Was it successful?”Chloe had a short movie that was low-key but popular. She could be recognized by anyone. That’s why she waited for her outside.Ellena smiled and said. “Very wel
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 26: As Obedient As a Dog
Ellena went to the Smith Family Villa by a car. Her eyes flashed with annoyance and anticipation with every turn she had taken, glancing at her already silent phone.For so long, she had idly sat by as the other members of the family take advantage of her. She remembered the way they've sneered at her with every answer she had gotten wrong or the way they'd laugh whenever she 'messed up'. Now that the tables had turned, she'd guarantee that the house was filled with unconfined chaos.As soon as the maid had seen her coming in, she immediately bowed her head. "Third Lady."She could see the change in the servant’s attitude.After all, Ellena was now the daughter-in-law of Arnoult family while Naomi was now involved in the scandal, which was very harmful for her reputation.But she couldn't let them see the satisfaction on her face. After all, if she wasn't careful, then she'd lose her entire deck of cards. The only thing she could do now was t
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 27: Cousin Asked Me to Pick You Up
Seeing that everyone had fallen into an agreement, Madeline stood up and addressed them. “I’ll ask the servants to prepare the dinner.”Naomi didn't even bother to look at her. Since the video was already out, there wasn't any reason to pretend that they had good relations. Plus, she was far too exhausted to play her part.Ralph simply nodded in response.Madeline was embarrassed but she didn’t say much more. It was obvious that the video's contents had shaken the roots of their family.As she passed by Ellena, she stopped and whispered seriously, “Come out!”Ralph and Naomi were already seated at the other end of the study, and now they were chatting in a whisper.Ellena just glanced at them and followed Madeline to leave the study.As soon as they were out of sight, Madeline immediately pulled her into her former bedroom. Closing the door behind them, Madeline held her shoulders and stared at her.
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 28: Qualifications to Seduce a Man
Edward tilted his head in her direction, and the expression on his face remained unresponsive to her glare. "I'm here to pick you up. What do you think?"He cocked up his eyebrow, explaining it to her as if he was talking to a three-year-old. "Do you think I just happened to be here and suddenly decide to visit the Smith family to play your driver?"Despite his cold words, Ellena remained unfazed. She scrutinized his expression, looking as if she was interrogating a thief rather than one of the most eligible bachelors in Hertone City. "Don't mess around.”“You can think whatever you want anyway it doesn’t affect me.” Edward grinned as if he didn’t care about what she would think.Originally, Edward had no intention of picking her up. That was actually just an excuse of what he came here to do.He just wanted to meet the other members of the Smith family. Although he had married their daughter, he had never personally m
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 29: Flirting
Ellena had been playing dumb for so many years. In fact, for as long as she could remember, she deliberately tried her best to mess up their orders and even kept her conversations to a minimum. And these people in the Smith family had been completely used to her silly appearance. However as a noble family that had lasted for a hundred years, a servant of the Arnoult family was very smart, not to mention their masters, Edward and ‘Nicklaus.’ So it was impossible for her to deceive them by pretending to be stupid, so she had no intention of pretending to be stupid from the beginning. Therefore, as long as she left the Smith family she didn’t pretend any more. And as she stared at the retreating house, she slowly relaxed in her seat. It was as if someone had finally allowed her to breathe. The relieved expression on her face didn't escape Edward’s gaze. She seemed to be very afraid of getting involved with Nicklaus, especially in front of her other family me
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 30: What Is It?
Ellena ran to the bathroom and looked at her ugly face in the mirror. The yellow foundation she had placed all over her cheeks still hadn't faded, and the spots around her nose were still there. From an outsider's eye, she looked very ugly. She might even look disgusting to some people. But why did Nicklaus keep flirting with her? Was the man blind or something?She had always heard that people in the higher social circles were a bit different. They had more special...habits and perversions that many would've found ridiculous and weird.Could it be that he had some sort of excitement for forbidden romances? So she being his sister-in-law gave him a sense of excitement of actually claiming her right under his cousin's nose?At the thought of this, she felt a little scared and a chill shot down her spine.When she had first met “Nicklaus”, she thought that he was just a playboy who got everything he could ever want. And by that, she'd readily as
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 31: Press Conference
Ellena turned her head to the side, avoiding his gaze and said coldly, “None of your business.”No matter how evasive she seemed, he still didn't back down–using this time to stare at the blemishes on her face. It was as if he was seeing them in a new light.“Then whose business is that?”Edward stared at her for a long time. His broad shoulders and tall body towered over her, not giving her any chance to escape. She was trapped here, whether she liked it or not.Right now, she did want nothing but a hole to hide in the ground. How could she be so careless?Even if he was a mile away from her, she could practically sense the oppressive aura seeping right out of him. What more if he was practically centimeters away from her? She suppressed her fear, trying to stare at him right in the eye. But the moment she tried, she found herself turning away almost immediately.Her heartbeat was so fast that it felt lik
