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.

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 838: Looks like You Don't Remember at All

    The address written on the note led them to an old street on the west side of Herton City.Herton City had been changing rapidly over the years, glass towers rising one after another, new roads opening every season, bright billboards lighting the nights. But this particular street seemed to have been forgotten by time itself. The pavement was cracked in places, the buildings low and weathered, the old signboards faded under years of sun and rain.When Ellena got out of the car, she stood there for a moment, looking around."This place…" she said softly, her voice carrying a note of nostalgia that even she hadn’t expected.She turned her head slightly toward Paul, explaining almost absentmindedly, "When I was in primary school, I took this road every single day."With a dull bang, she shut the car door and walked a few steps forward, her heels clicking lightly on the uneven ground."At that time," she continued slowly, "Naomi did

    Ellena believed that Paul was not lying. She trusted his careful nature and the calm way he had explained the sequence of events.She stood in front of the desk for a few seconds, thinking silently. Then, in a tone that left no room for hesitation, she said,"Open it and see what's in it."Paul’s expression changed slightly. "I'll let the security guard open it."He suddenly stopped walking, his tall figure stiff, and the air around him turned tense. The way he spoke made it sound as if what Ellena was about to open wasn’t a simple package, but something far more dangerous—something that could explode with the wrong touch."Don't call the security," Ellena said directly, her voice quiet but firm, leaving no room for argument."But President Smith…"He wanted to persuade her further, but Ellena had already turned away, not willing to listen. She walked past him, straight back into the office.The moment she reached the desk, she picked up the package again, feeling its weight in her ha

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 836: Don't Open It Yet

    Since there was still no news of Edward, Ellena had no choice but to take over the Arnoult Group herself.From the day she sat in the chair of the president’s office, the stock price of the Arnoult Group had been dropping little by little like grains of sand slipping through one’s fingers.She had already expected this situation long ago.Edward was too smart not to have thought of this when he handed everything to her.It wasn’t that she lacked effort. It was that his absence had left an irreplaceable gap that no one else could fill.That morning, as soon as Ellena’s car stopped in front of the Arnoult Group building, the flashes of cameras lit up like a sudden storm.A reporter, seemingly waiting since dawn, suddenly rushed forward, squeezing through the cordon as if desperate.The sharp shutter sounds surrounded her, like invisible hands trying to peel away every layer of her composure.Fortunately, the Arnoult Group’s security guards had been trained for situations like this. The

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 835: It Could be Considered a Show of Mercy

    Nolan had asked Ellena to come and see Naomi because he wanted them to make peace.However, Ellena's attitude was very obvious. She did not want to make peace with Naomi."Ellena, I don't want to force you to make peace with Naomi. I just feel that..." Nolan tried to use a more euphemistic way of saying it but under Ellena's increasingly cold gaze, his voice gradually faded."Big Brother, if you want me to reconcile with Naomi, unless she sincerely apologizes to me, otherwise..." Ellena's lips curled into a mocking arc, "There will never be a day when we can reconcile.""Naomi has become like this not because of her repentance, but because of her own stupidity. Her current misery is not caused by me. She gets this result because she is so stupid that she wants to ask a tiger for its skin. It is the bitter fruit she brewed. I will not gloat when she is down, but I will not sympathize with her."Ellena's words could not be clearer. Nolan frowned slight

    Chloe exchanged glances with Ellena and leaned towards Ellena.Nolan walked to the side of the bed and bent over to call, "Naomi."The person on the bed did not react.Nolan turned around and said to Ellena, "She is asleep."Then, he reached out and lifted Naomi's blanket. Naomi's face was revealed.Chloe who was at the side immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. Ellena's eyes also slightly changed.That was not a normal face. Her entire face was so thin that one could see the shape of bones. Her eye sockets were also deeply sunken. There was only a layer of skin on her cheekbones.It was already impossible to see Naomi's original appearance.Ellena walked two steps closer and at this moment Naomi, who originally had her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes.Because Naomi was now too thin, her eyes appeared to be bigger and looked a little strange.Naomi seemed to have had a nightmare. Her eyes were as wide as

    "Oh." She did not seem very concerned.Nolan was silent for a moment. He asked her, "Do you want to see Naomi?"Nolan knew what Naomi had done to Ellena, so when he asked this kind of question, he was still a little embarrassed.Ellena smiled, looking like she wanted to watch the fun, and said, "Okay."Nolan was stunned for a moment and nodded with an uneasy look on his face.It was eight o'clock in the evening when Ellena finished her last meeting.She returned to her office and there was a pile of documents on her desk.Ellena flipped through the documents and turned to Paul. "When do you think I can finish reading them?"Paul lowered his eyes. "President Smith, don't be discouraged. You can deal with as many as you can.""There's still no news of Edward, is there?" Ellena sighed and leaned against the back of the chair, unconsciously turning around.Paul shook his head. "No."

    Ellena looked at the time. It was 10 in the morning and it was less than 24 hours before dark the next day. Not to mention how far it was to get to the airport from her, it would take more than 10 hours just to fly.Even if she left for the airport now, she might not be able to buy a plane ticket to

    Ellena put her hands on the table and leaned forward slightly. "Where is he?"Peter just smiled and did not answer her question. He stood up and was about to walk out.Ellena quickly followed and blocked Peter's way. "At least let me see Spencer once. You never let me see Spencer. You dragged me here.

    Soon, Maren came out with water and a plate of pastries.She placed the pastries on the tea table and passed the water to Ellena, "I saw some pastries and brought some over. This was made by me yesterday. Sir feels that it is very good."Ellena tasted it. It was not very sweet and was a little sticky.

    Spencer's voice suddenly disappeared from the phone.Ellena's expression changed slightly. She frowned and said seriously, "Spencer? Spencer, say something!"There was no response on the phone.Ellena took the phone down and looked. She found the phone had been hung up.She looked at the time. It was on
