Semua Bab Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Edward looked at her flushed face, but his expression remained indifferent. “Are you in trouble?”His voice was calm, but if one heard carefully, they’d discover the hidden concern in his voice. It could’ve warmed any woman’s heart. But Ellena was just now any woman.Ellena pinched her blanket and said coldly, “None of your business.”However, her cold face had no threat to him at all. Although his composure didn’t change very much, there was a flicker of anger flashed in his eyes.“Of course it’s none of my business. But if you beg me, I’ll consider helping you.” Edward looked at her indifferently. If looks could kill, she would’ve been buried ten feet under.However, Ellena would never beg him.Edward looked at her deeply, turned and walked out.He had only walked a couple of steps when he met Paul. Paul held a tablet near to his chest. And looking at his

Flustered from the previous phone call, Edward didn’t have the time to distinguish who was calling him. He slammed the pen stand against the door and yelled in frustration, “Fuck off!”He was already pissed off by his sister and didn’t have the time to take care of anyone right now.Ellena had been standing outside all the time. When she heard the angry roar, she was stunned for a moment. Then without wasting a second, she turned around and left.Although she didn’t know why he was so pissed off today, she knew she had no position to interfere with it.After a while, Edward calmed down himself. He raised his head and stared at the ceiling. There were still so many questions left unanswered when it came to the kidnapping years ago. After what happened to his mother, he promised himself to avenge her no matter what.  Paul knocked on the door and came with a stack of document. His expression was calm as if he hadn&r

Ellena was still shaking her head in disbelief. If only she had seen through Naomi's mask a little earlier, she would've found a way to prevent all of this from happening.Just as she stepped out of the restaurant Ellena received a call from Chloe."Come over quickly! The red car across the road.” Chloe said quickly and then hung up the phone.Ellena looked up and saw the red car across the road. As she looked at the direction of the car, it horned twice.Knowing that her friend was in a rush, she immediately walked to the other side of the road and into the vehicle. Ellena turned to the woman beside her. "I didn't expect to see you here.""You don't expect a lot of things.” Chloe stepped on the accelerator. “How was it? Was it successful?”Chloe had a short movie that was low-key but popular. She could be recognized by anyone. That’s why she waited for her outside.Ellena smiled and said. “Very wel

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.

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
