Only then did Edward pick Elaine up in his arms and hugged her in the same posture he used to hold Ellena.

Elaine was small and tender. It was obvious that she was not comfortable being hugged like this. It was as if she was lying on the ground.

She kicked her short legs and was about to get up when Edward held her straight.

He held Elaine with one hand and turned around to use his free other hand to push open the door to the study room.

He walked in and looked at the mess in the room. He thoug

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 853. Do It In Secret

    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

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 852. Economic Crimes

    Paulglanced at Ellenaand did not say anything else. He picked up the thick stack of documents from the desk, held them firmly in his arms, and turned around to leave. 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. It became the beginning of everything, the invisible thread that tied her life to Edward’s.She lowered her eyes, staring at the pen, her fingers unconsciously tightening aro

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 851. Too Absurd

    Ellena closed the door softly behind her and returned to her room.The click of the latch echoed faintly in the quiet corridor, sounding much louder than it should have. She paused for a moment, standing still, as if listening for something like footsteps, a voice, or even her own heartbeat. Nothing followed. The villa was silent, calm to the point of oppression.As if remembering something all of a sudden, Ellena walked toward the window. She pushed the curtain aside and looked out.The floor she lived on was high, and night had already fallen. The lights of the city below were scattered like distant stars, blurred and indistinct. Cars moved silently far below, their headlights forming thin, flowing lines. No matter how hard she tried to focus, she could not see anything clearly, nor could she find what she was subconsciously looking for.After a while, Ellena closed the window and let the curtain fall back into place.She returned to her bed and lay down, staring at the ceiling. Sle

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 850: You Were too Ugly When You Were a Kid

    Ellena could feel the subtle changes in Edward’s body.The shift was slight, almost imperceptible, but because she was trapped so close to him, she noticed it instantly. The warmth surrounding her seemed to intensify, carrying a pressure that made her entire body tense unconsciously.A faint shiver ran down her spine. For a brief moment, she froze completely.Her breathing caught in her throat, and her fingers curled tightly against her palms.Edward lowered his head slightly, his breath brushing lightly against the side of her face. His voice came softly, low and restrained, but carrying an unsettling certainty that made her heartbeat grow chaotic.“If you don’t want to do it, don’t move.”The meaning behind his words made Ellena’s face burn instantly.Her eyes widened slightly before anger quickly replaced the brief moment of panic. She gritted her teeth hard.“Edward, don’t for

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 849: Unconcealed Feelings

    Ellena didn’t want to talk to Edward. She really didn’t know what to do with him anymore. Every time she thought she had finally understood him, he would do something that left her completely confused again. It was exhausting trying to guess what was in his mind.The truth was, she knew she wasn’t a match for him in terms of schemes. Edward was always calm, always composed, always three steps ahead of everyone else. He could hide his thoughts so deeply that no one could read him unless he wanted them to. Even after all the years they had spent together, Ellena still could not confidently say she truly understood him.She was not like him.Her emotions had always been easier to see. When she was angry, she became cold. When she was hurt, she became silent. She could never pretend as perfectly as Edward could.And right now, she was angry.Not just angry, but frustrated. Frustrated that he stood there acting so calm, as if nothing h

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 848: Keep You Widowed for Me

    After Ellena said so much, Edward’s expression remained unreadable. His face was calm, almost detached, as if he were a passerby observing something distant and unrelated to him. There was no flicker of anger, no trace of guilt. That coldness, paradoxically, made Ellena’s anger ebb.Instead of losing her temper, she felt her breath steady. Her chest rose and fell calmly as she gathered her composure. A faint, almost mocking smile curled at her lips.“What a pity,” she said softly. “If you really died in that car accident, I could have taken your money to take care of other men. I could be with whoever I wanted.”For the first time that night, a crack appeared on Edward’s otherwise unshaken face. It was subtle, but enough for Ellena to notice. She leaned into her newfound calm, letting her smile deepen slightly.“You left the entire Arnoult Group to me. You must want me to live a happy life,” she

    Out of instinct for survival, Ellena struggled violently and fell to the ground with the chair."F * ck!"The kidnapper cursed and kicked Ellena in the stomach. He reached out to pull her hair and was about to pull her up.His kick was a bit powerful. Ellena was in so much pain that she broke out in co

    Ellena was driving while paying attention to whether Ralph and the others' cars had caught up with her. When she was about to reach the abandoned garage, there was a sharp turn. After Ellena turned the corner, she did not see Ralph and his car again. She parked the car at the entrance of the abandon

    Ellena's words were a little harsh. However, that was what she thought in her heart. Although Madeline seemed to be living a wealthy life in the Smith family, compared to other rich ladies, she was relatively easy to support. Most of the time, Madeline was making food and clothing for Ralph and the

    Ellena's voice fell and the carriage fell into a strange silence. She looked at Paul who was driving in front and then turned to look at “Nicklaus”. Seeing that he was lost in thought, she reached out and patted him. "You still haven't told me what your cousin likes to eat." Edward came back to his
