《Flash Married to a Hidden Tycoon》全部章節：第 11 章 - 第 20 章

That evening, Ella returned to her parents’ residential complex in the Eve Gardens neighborhood.Just as she arrived, her father, Lucas, was getting off work. His face softened when he saw her. “Why did you buy so many things?”“I got a bonus from work. Thought I’d bring something home to share.”He helped steady her e-bike. “Come on, let’s head back.”On their way home, they passed through the villa section of the neighborhood.Piper was standing directly in their path.Seeing her, Lucas’s expression turned gentle. “Piper, why don’t you join us for dinner?”“No need. I just have something to say.”“Go ahead,” he said kindly.“Could you two stop working at Eve Gardens?” Piper asked quietly.Even though Nora publicly insisted she was the biological daughter, plenty of people still knew the truth.Ever since discovering Lucas was her biological father, Piper had deliberately avoided driving past the gate where he worked security.She didn’t want people whispering that her father was a s

Piper wanted to see exactly how this brother and sister planned to clean up today’s mess.She was practically a regular here. The moment she stepped inside, the floor manager hurried over with a bright smile. “Miss Hart! Welcome, welcome.”“Get me a private room,” Piper said.“I’m so sorry, all the private rooms are booked tonight. Would you mind sitting over there? It’s quieter.”“Fine.” She walked over gracefully.The restaurant was spacious, though it was only one floor.As she made her way across the dining area, she deliberately scanned the room.No sign of Daniel or Ella.Bertha couldn’t hold back her laughter. “Piper, this is hilarious. They bragged about coming here for dinner, but there’s not even a shadow of them.”Gigi added, “All talk. I bet that so-called brother dragged Ella out the back door through the kitchen!”Piper lifted her teacup, feeling embarrassed on their behalf.At that moment, she felt even more grateful that she had chosen to stay with her adoptive mother,

That evening at dinner, Ella mentioned to her parents that her brother had bought her a car.She’d hoped they would persuade him not to.She’d tried all day. He wouldn’t budge.Instead, Lucas clapped Daniel on the shoulder.“Taking care of your sister—that’s what a good brother does. You earned the money yourself. You have every right to spend it how you want. I support it.”Lora nodded in agreement.“Your father’s right. Money isn’t what matters. What matters is that our family loves and supports each other.”Then she said brightly, “Go grab that red ribbon from the closet. Let’s make this feel special.”The four of them went down to the parking garage and tied a red ribbon across the hood for good luck and safe travels.Lucas even brought out a bottle of sparkling cider, popped it, and splashed a little across the front bumper—an Elarisian-style “blessing” for the new car.At that moment, Nora happened to stop by to see Piper’s new car and caught sight of the little ceremony.Lora g

Lora opened the box and gasped at the contents.“This is far too expensive. We can’t accept this…” she said quickly.Nathan replied casually, “It’s nothing special. Please, just take it. This gold necklace is for you. The gold bracelet is for Ella. The cigarettes, liquor, and supplements are for Mr. Hart and the three brothers.”He listed each item one by one.The necklace and bracelet were solid gold. At current market prices, each piece easily ran into 4 figures. The tobacco, alcohol, and health tonics were all top-tier brands—expensive and impressive.Nora and Piper felt conflicted.On one hand, Nathan’s generosity made them proud.On the other, they didn’t want him getting too close to Lucas and Lora.“It’s really too much…” Lora tried again.Nora pursed her lips. “Nathan comes from a good family and earns well himself. Ordinary gifts would be embarrassing. Just accept them. You haven’t even seen what he gave us—that’s what you’d call truly valuable.”Her words carried more than p

Ella had been about to ask why he hadn’t said anything sooner.Then she remembered—it was technically his place. She didn’t really have grounds to object if he wanted to stay.“So… how long are you planning to live here?” she asked. “I don’t mean anything by it. Just asking.”“Depends,” Tiesto said with a faint smile. “Maybe three to five months. Or maybe I’ll just move in permanently.”Moving in, after all, wasn’t that difficult.…“Mr. Sterling, how long are you staying over there?” Javi asked later.“Three to five days,” Tiesto replied calmly.Javi grinned. “Honestly, your wife’s apartment is pretty nice. Not far from the company either. Convenient. If you’re planning to stay long-term, I can go pack your things now—”“When did I say I was staying long-term?” Tiesto cut him off. “There are too many people eyeing her. I’m staying a few days temporarily. She’s my wife. If other men start making moves, I need to protect my reputation.”Javi didn’t expose him.If he truly didn’t care,
