Chapter 52 Ella laughed when she saw Daniel enter her office like a whirlwind. She laughed in her head before she continued to entertain a few people. Knowing that the man was getting impatient, Ella excused herself before she entered the office. She looked at her watch and realized that it was almost time for lunch. She instructed her secretary to block anyone who would be looking for her, by saying that she had gone out for lunch. Ella had just opened the door when a hand pulled her inside. She almost screamed as she fell into a firm chest. Daniel hugged her with one hand, and used the other free hand to lock the door from the inside. He took the files from Ella’s hands and tossed them on the floor before he lifted Ella in his arms. Ella wrapped her arms around the man’s neck and her legs glided around his waist. She searched for the man’s lips before she started to kiss him hungrily. Daniel carried her and laid her on her office table. He had already cleared the table as he di

Chapter 54 Cathy felt as if someone had just splashed ice-cold water all over her body, when she heard Daniel’s question. ‘Who are you?’ Did Daniel just ask her that question? What was wrong with this man? How could he not know her when they had dinner several times, and she always sat next to him in every board meeting? In fact, she was the only woman who had been close to Daniel for the past years since his grandpa’s passing. She had been parading herself as Daniel’s best friend, and the only woman who could get near him. She actually thought that their relationship was special and Daniel felt something towards her. That was because over the years, although Daniel had not shown any obvious sign that he was interested in her, he had not rejected her outright like he was doing right now. Cathy opened and closed her mouth like a fish that had been taken out of the water. Even after a long time, she could not utter a single word. She was trembling all over and her face had turned

Chapter 56 At the Muller mansion, it has been two days since Cathy’s confrontation with Daniel. The moment she arrived home, she locked herself in her room and she hadn’t seen the light of day for two days. She chased away all her maids, and she was not even willing to see her parents. When Mr. Muller returned home in the evening, he found his wife brooding on the sofa, with a worried expression on her face. “Lily, what is wrong? Cathy hasn’t left her room again?” Mister Muller asked as he approached his wife. “Yes, darling. She has not eaten for two whole days and I am so worried about her. Hearing her muffled cries really breaks my heart.” “What are we supposed to do? I did not think that it would affect her that much.” “I also never expected that Daniel would be that ruthless. Why has he been giving our daughter false hopes all these years? Now look at how heartbroken she is.” “Have you found out anything?” Lily asked as she looked at her husband. She knew that Daniel would

Chapter 57 Cathy showered at lightning speed. She was eager to know what her father had found out that she did not even dry her body before coming out of the bathroom. She did not care how wet her body was as she hastily put on her pajamas. “Hey, take your time. Just look at how wet your hair is. You might catch a cold if you don’t dry it. Quickly sit down, and let me help you dry it.” her mother said as she approached her. She took a towel from the closet before she started drying Cathy’s hair. “Mom, quick, tell me. What did Daddy find out?” “Err...?” Cathy could not take her mother’s hesitation anymore. She took the towel from her hands and threw it on the ground. She stood up and faced her mother, “You promised that as long as it is something that I want, I will always get it. You said that as long as I work my ass off, Daniel would see my efforts. It has been five years already, but what have I gained in the end?” “Hey, darling, calm down, okay? I will tell you everything.”

Chapter 59 After Ella’s car disappeared, a few men in blue aprons approached the security guard at the gate with their work tools. They were driving a long truck, and they seemed to be in a hurry. “We are here to finish up the renovation that has been ongoing. There is something that our client was not satisfied with, and we are here to work on it.” The security guard looked at their work ID’s. Seeing that it was the same company that had frequented here for the past month renovating the newly bought house, he allowed them in. The men in the blue aprons entered with their truck. They quietly parked it near Ella’s car. As others took out their tools and walked towards Daniel’s house, others remained in the parking lot. The security cameras had already been tampered with, so they could do whatever they wanted without being caught. After Ella and the kids left, Daniel did not go back to sleep. He went and took a quick shower. By the time he was done, Tony was already at the house. “
