Chloe heard Ellena's words and did not know what to say for a moment. She could only nod her head.

Although she and Ellena had known each other for many years and they had a good relationship, but there was always someone who could not be replaced by anyone.

Just like Edward. She could not replace Edward’s place in Ellena’s heart.

She knew that although Ellena said she was fine and was acting cool, she must be sad in her heart.

No matter how many comforting words she said it were useless, s

    Ellena chuckled lightly, the corners of her lips curling up with a cool grace. “Previously, Madeline had been frantically looking for Naomi. I guess they’ve finally found her.”“Sure enough, I knew you’d guess it!” Chloe’s eyes lit up as she clapped her hands in excitement. “I had the same feeling too. I mean, who else would make the Smiths go in and out of a hospital so often? It's not like they’re known for compassion.”“I know the Smith family well enough,” she continued. “They don’t care about people without a reason. The only ones they’d be so cautious about are either deeply tied to them… or Naomi herself.”Ellena’s expression darkened slightly as memories she would rather forget came rushing back. She had long seen through the veneer the Smiths used to disguise their hypocrisy. Their affection was always transactional, calculated.“The

    Ellena's refusal didn’t end the reporter’s line of questioning. Instead, the man pressed forward boldly, as if emboldened by the silence that followed.“I think this is still related to the Arnoult Group, Miss Smith,” he insisted, voice rising slightly. “Now that the group is under your control, we just want to understand the reasons behind the transfer. Don’t the public and shareholders deserve to know?”A few gasps and murmurs followed among the crowd of reporters.Ellena’s expression didn’t waver. Her tone remained composed, but colder this time. “That is a personal matter,” she replied crisply. “Forgive me for not answering you.”The reporter opened his mouth again, but before he could utter another word, Paul stepped forward. With a subtle nod, he signaled to the staff on standby. Within moments, two security personnel made their way over and led the persistent reporter out of the room.This wasn’t an ordinary company. It was the Arnoult Group. Even with Edward’s disappearance, t

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 827: I Don't Know the Secret

    Paul took the neatly folded newspaper from his side and handed it to Ellena with a solemn expression. The headline was bold and striking, unmistakably referring to the Arnoult Group and Edward’s disappearance.Ellena accepted it calmly, her eyes sweeping across the front page only for a brief second before she folded it again and placed it aside on the coffee table. “I’ve already read it online,” she said with detached poise.In truth, she hadn’t read every word. She didn’t need to. All the headlines said the same thing, about the accident, the disappearance, the missing CEO. She didn’t need words to feel the chaos boiling just under the surface of her carefully constructed calm. She was already living it.Paul remained quiet for a moment, perhaps surprised by her nonchalance. But Ellena had always been strong in her own way. After a moment, he said, “We might hold a press conference next.”Ellena nodd

    However, the problem was that they had no news of Edward yet, and there had been no trace of Sampson either.Judging from the current situation, they had no news of Edward.It was hard to say whether Edward would take the initiative to contact them.However, the most pressing issue right now was that the the Arnoult Group. If Edward disappeared for one more days, the employees of the Arnoult Group would be even more panicked.After the two of them finished speaking, they became silent.After a while, Paul said, "Miss Smith, please consider it."What he meant was to let Ellena consider taking over the Arnoult Group.Ellena's expression became more indifferent. "I don't know how to do business."A hint of joy flashed across Paul's eyes. "That's okay. I will help you."In terms of affection, Paul had been through more experience than Edward had.He and Carolina had been in love when they were in college. In the end,

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 825: It Could be Spencer

    Ellena reached out to the nanny Paul had introduced. The woman was a native of Herton City, living in the quiet outskirts.There was nothing ostentatious about her—no airs or pretense. Just a calm, homely simplicity in the way she spoke and carried herself.Despite everything she had been through lately, Ellena still trusted Paul’s judgment when it came to people. After a short conversation with the nanny over a cup of warm tea, she sensed a kind of grounded warmth in the woman. Perhaps it was the steady gaze or the gentle tone of her voice. Ellena made her decision.The housekeeper moved into Ellena’s home the very next day.Elaine, to Ellena's relief, did not reject the nanny. In fact, she seemed curious—watchful but not hostile. Ellena had braced herself for tears, tantrums, or stubborn silence from her daughter. But there were none. Elaine's quiet acceptance surprised her and, in a strange way, made her feel both hopeful and he

    Martin was momentarily speechless after hearing what Ellena said.Her words struck with quiet finality.After a long pause, he finally replied, "But if Edward doesn't show up, someone has to take charge of the Arnoult Group."Ellena's eyes narrowed slightly, a determined glint flashing through her gaze. "Then find him."Her voice was calm, but firm and unyielding. The softness she once reserved for Edward was gone, replaced with resolution. There was no panic in her tone, no hesitation.Martin didn’t argue further. He understood. When Ellena made up her mind, there was no turning back.When they arrived at the entrance of the residential area, they decided to head together to Chloe’s apartment.Chloe, still recovering from her leg injury, had been resting at home for days. Bored and mostly confined indoors, she’d taken to spending time with Elaine. That day, she was trying to cook butterfly noodles for her.Chloe was far from a great cook. In fact, butterfly noodles might’ve been the

    If Peter and Spencer were the same person, then this matter could be explained.Sometimes, a person's sixth sense would become incomparably accurate.With this hypothesis as a precondition, Ellena's doubts in her heart were all resolved.Although she saw "Peter" in Sea Horizon Club back then, and Spenc

    Ellena could not help but laugh. She patted Elaine's head and brought her to wash her face and brush her teeth.When Ellena brought Elaine out, the two maids were still waiting at the door. Clearly, they were waiting for Ellena and Elaine to come out and bring them to the restaurant.On the surface, t

    Ellena followed behind Maren. The higher they went, the quieter they became.After going upstairs, the corridor was filled with the echoes of footsteps.This villa was unusually quiet. Just now at the entrance of the villa, Ellena saw so many bodyguards and servants. This meant that there should be a

    Since Edward would say that, he naturally wouldn't listen to the advice of others.Even if Paul wanted to, he didn't try to persuade him.There was no right or wrong in this matter.Edward had his own plan. Although he had not rescued Elaine, the premise was that he knew that Elaine was safe. That was
