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.

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
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 32: Cheat On Edward?
It was obvious that Ellena was mocking the reporter for her shameless act of asking people their sex life in public. The reporters who asked the question understood it too. Almost every reporter present was bribed by Ralph. They were invited to use today's press conference as a way to revive Naomi's innocence, so most of them only asked Ellena questions concerning the video. Only that reporter was the only one who had asked about Edward to gain attention. The Arnoult family had great power and influence, and ordinary people couldn't afford the offend them. However, there were a handful of people who wanted to risk everything, even their own lives to provoke them. Seeing that the others still hadn't stopped laughing, the reporter's face paled in embarrassment. So, she gave up covering her intentions and said viciously, “You are so ugly! How a woman like you could married into Edward’s family if it isn’t not the fact he is not impotent? If you could snatch awa
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 33: If You Dare to Get Off, I Will Kiss You
Out of defense, Ellena wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her head into his chest. Her mind went blank for a few seconds before she realized what was happening. "Nicklaus!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. A few pedestrians had glanced her way, but as soon as they saw the man holding her, they quickly looked away. Ellena struggled to get down from his arms, “Put me down!” Ignoring her frustration, Edward held her even tighter in his arms and put her on the passenger seat. No matter how many times she kicked her legs up in the air or pounded his chest with her fists, he still didn't back down as he closed the door beside her. "Don't move." "You wish!" As soon as she was seated, she reached out to grab the car door and want to get out of the car. With everything that had happened in the press conference and the night before, the last person she wanted to talk to was him! Edward had already expected her to try and fight back. Just as her hand
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 34: Strange
The entire car was silent all the time until they reached at a high-end club. The surrounding was filled with luxurious furniture. Although the place was a little more subdued as compared to the other clubs, she could tell that it was for the upper class given the number of sports cars parked around the area. Ellena paused, gazing at the well-dressed people going in and out of the club. This was certainly not the place she was used to. She looked at “Nicklaus” suspiciously, “Are we going to eat here?” He wouldn’t be here to play, would he? Edward didn't even bother to answer her as he got out of the car, closing the door right behind him. This time, he didn't open the passenger seat, as if he was daring her not to follow him inside. Ellena had no choice but to follow right behind him. The two of them walked straight to the entrance. When Edward stepped into the entrance, the attendant bowed respectfully. "Welcome to Sea Horizon Clubhouse.” However,

After Ellena finished her press conference, she had planned to watch it again on Weibo, wanting to see if she had gotten any comments from the netizens. However, before she could, “Nicklaus” had already pestered her to join him for lunch. Turning on the computer, she browsed the webpages. She found that the interview was covered by many media and re-posted by quite a number of Weibo influencers. The majority of the netizens were scolding her, just like she had expected. But there were a few rational people who analyzed her answers more carefully. “I knew that she was lying. The others who supported her are now hiding in embarrassment, right? What else do you have to say?" “Why was she acting like a diva? She even wore a mask when she was interviewed. Is she so afraid to show her face?" "Am I the only one who thinks that the way she answered the press was cool?” "I realized that she never really admitted to actually stealing her sister's fiancé from the start.
