Chapter 825: It Could be Spencer
Date de publication:
2026-01-16 03:01:22Ellena 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 i

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
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 847: A Play That He Directed and Acted on
Ellena was still brooding over what Edward had done. Her mind churned with countless unspoken words, memories, and betrayals, and it made it impossible for her to speak to him calmly.She stared at him for a long moment, as though searching for answers in the depths of his expression. Then, without a word, she turned away and walked to the other side of the sofa. She sat down slowly, crossing her arms and legs with a deliberate air of self-restraint. Her gaze fixed on him, expressionless, almost unreadable.The bedroom was not small, but in that instant it felt crowded. The space between them seemed to shrink, charged with unspoken tension. They were not just in a room together, they were in a silence heavy with the weight of everything unsaid.For a long moment, neither spoke. They looked at each other, eyes locked in an unbroken exchange of thought, resentment, and something deeper. Ellena waited for him to speak, but Edward only stared back, serious and unbli
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 846: She's Thinking too Much
Elaine curled her lips slightly, a faint expression of contemplation crossing her small face."Alright," she said softly.She lowered her head and took a deliberate bite of the meat on her plate. The warmth of the kitchen, the sound of her small chewing, and the quiet atmosphere wrapped around them like a fragile cocoon. Then she looked up at Ellena with surprising seriousness."When school starts, I will be very busy, too."Ellena smiled faintly, her tone gentle yet affectionate. "Yes, my little Ella is also a busy person."Elaine’s eyes sparkled with amusement, and she chuckled softly, her joy infectious. Ellena watched her for a moment, the warmth of motherhood settling quietly in her chest. Yet her own appetite was gone. She barely touched her meal, her attention constantly drifting toward the entrance of her home.But no one came. The door remained still, the hallway silent.She kept glancing up, her thoughts restless, but the minutes slipped by unnoticed. By the time she and Ela
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 845: Guest
Ellena had no idea what Edward was thinking. His expression remained unreadable, shrouded in gloom, as though he were weighing some invisible burden. The shadows in the underground parking lot seemed to cling to his face, making his hesitation even more tangible.She recalled that Stacy was still at home and that Edward’s presence in her life was still shrouded in secrecy. The reason he had not shown himself openly was clear to her now. He did not want anyone to know where he truly was. His return was deliberate, concealed, calculated.The thought hardened her tone. She lifted her eyes to meet his, steady and controlled, though there was an unspoken edge to her voice. "You know where I live," she said quietly but firmly. "You can come up in half an hour. If you don’t come… it’s on your own."There was finality in her words. Without waiting for his answer, she pressed the button to close the elevator. The metallic hum filled the small space as the doors slid
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 844: Give Me Another Hug, Will You?
Ellena’s voice carried a trace of ridicule as it sliced through the suffocating silence. "Am I tired? The way I handle the Arnoult Group has nothing to do with you."Her words, though calmly spoken, dripped with accusation. They were a shield, a blade, and a declaration of her independence all at once. Yet the moment the words fell, Ellena could feel the air around her shift. The atmosphere in the car, already heavy with unspoken history, grew unbearably oppressive. It was as if the walls of the underground parking lot closed in, leaving the two of them no room to breathe.Then, in a tone that was restrained but unmistakably edged with anger, Edward spoke. "Ellena."Her name rolled off his tongue with a weight that made her chest tighten. He wasn’t yelling. He wasn’t pleading. But the tension embedded in those three syllables was louder than any outburst.Ellena’s composure cracked for a brief instant. She took in a deep breath,
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 804: Elaine’s Thought
Ellena’s chest tightened the moment those words left Elaine’s mouth. She had prepared herself to be stern, to discipline her daughter for recklessly following Edward, but the child’s trembling voice carried such raw pain that it cut straight through her resolve.For a mom
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 803: To Lure Her Here on Purpose
The two of them stared at each other in silence, eyes locked in a battle of wills. For several seconds neither spoke, as if the room itself had frozen in the weight of their confrontation. The dim light threw shadows across Edward’s features, accentuating the sharp lines of his face. His si
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 802: It's Really You
Ellena knew that it was useless to blame the security guards. Fear and urgency pressed on her chest like a weight, but she forced herself to remain clear-headed. The more time they wasted pointing fingers, the further Elaine might be taken away. What mattered now was immediate action.She
Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart Chapter 801: Elaine is Missing
Ellena remained outside for several minutes, her chest rising and falling as though every breath carried with it the weight of her tangled emotions. The sting of what had just happened inside the private room still lingered in her mind, like an unshakable shadow. She clenched her fists at her sides
