Ellena had never been close to anyone since she was a child. When she was in school, she had always pretended to be ugly and deliberately failed the exam. That was why she had always been ostracized by others. It was only when she meet Chloe did she find a true friend whom she had treated with utmost sincerity.Chloe probably did not know that Ellena would save her back then, it was only for a moment that she thought about it, but Chloe had kept it in her mind for so many years.That year when the island exploded, she was rescued by Spencer and remained in a vegetative state for three years. When her own biological parents did not care about her life and death, it was Chloe who spent all her savings to look for her everywhere.In a sense, Chloe was more important to her than Edward.Yet, of all the people, Jasmine had chosen to attack Chloe!Ellena's eyes turned colder and colder.

Edward did not even blink his eyes as he lied, without changing his expression.Yet, Jasmine's anger subsided a little and her tone softened too. She said in an aggrieved manner, "Edward, I got injured today in the wedding dress store. . ."Edward turned on the hands-free, walked to his desk holding his phone in han
