All Chapters of Flash Married to a Hidden Tycoon: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Saturday.Ella called Ellen to say she and Tiesto would be over soon.Ellen happily handed her daughter Nina to her husband, Leon, and went to the market to buy groceries.She’d grown up in an orphanage. She was already ten when she entered the system, so she was never adopted. She stayed there until adulthood.Ella was only a few years younger and used to visit often. Over time, they became close.With no family of her own, Ellen treated Ella like a younger sister.She had just received half a year’s salary in a lump sum and had some cash on hand, so she splurged on groceries—buying things she normally wouldn’t.While she cooked, Leon stood behind her. “I heard Ella moved out of that villa?”“Yeah. She went back to her biological parents.”“What’s she thinking? Weren’t her adoptive parents good enough to her?”“You know whether they were or not. If you were her, would you stay?”Leon disagreed. “She just started working. No house, no savings, no connections. She should’ve stuck it ou

Sterling Corp.Tiesto made a phone call.In an office at Elaris University, Professor Atkinson was speaking with Professor Rowan.When Rowan’s phone rang, Professor Atkinson tactfully stood up. “Professor Rowan, I’ll take my leave.”“Come by for tea another time.”“Of course.”Once Atkinson left, Rowan answered the call with a chuckle. “Tiesto, this is rare. What made you call me?”“UncleRowan, I have a favor to ask.”“Hahaha! Is the sun rising in the west today? What is it?”“Do you have time recently? I’d like to arrange for a friend to interview you.”Rowan immediately understood this ‘friend’ was no ordinary person.For Tiesto to personally make the request—that was practically unheard of.He laughed heartily. “If you’re asking, how could I possibly say I’m not available? Even if it rains knives, I’ll make time. Just tell me when.”“Thank you, Uncle.”After hanging up, Rowan instructed his assistant, “Clear a slot in my schedule for an interview.”“Professor Rowan, there’s also an

Monica’s expression collapsed instantly.The other three, who had already mentally prepared to celebrate, were visibly shaken.One of them spoke up immediately. “Editor May, I thought evaluation wasn’t just about outlines and writing quality—but also the interview subject? If we worked hard to secure a difficult interviewee, and someone else interviews someone average but just writes slightly better, isn’t that unfair?”“Exactly! If that’s the case, why did we even go through all the effort to interview Professor Atkinson? We could’ve just interviewed someone from our own university!”Monica spoke calmly, appearing generous. “I have no issue with Ella and Kiana being promoted first. But Editor May, they do have a point. It needs to be fair and convincing.”Editor May replied evenly, “Ella and Kiana’s writing was indeed stronger. And their interview subject was Professor Rowan.”“Professor Rowan?!” Monica blurted out.The room fell silent.From the very beginning of the project, none o

Star Media.The moment Ella walked into the office, Monica came over.She was holding a cup of iced latte, her expression awkwardly ingratiating.“Ella… I bought you this. About yesterday—can we just let it go?” she asked.There was embarrassment in her tone.But not much sincerity.Ella didn’t take the drink. “You apologize, and it’s over.”“Do we really have to make such a big deal out of it?”Ella looked at her calmly. “An apology is ‘making a big deal,’ but spreading rumors about me isn’t?”Monica’s face darkened. “We work in the same office. Do you really want to push this?”“You started it,” Ella replied evenly....The morning meeting was company-wide.By the time it was wrapping up, Monica still hadn’t made a move.Ella stood up.“Everyone, yesterday I had dinner with my father. Monica spread rumors saying I was involved with some older man. She’s going to apologize for what she said.”Every eye in the room shifted to Monica.She had no choice but to stand.“I spoke without un

The next day at the company meeting, Editor May wore a stern expression as she addressed Monica.“Your probation was supposed to be finalized, but because of the recent incident, the impact was too negative. We’re extending your evaluation period.”Monica’s face fell.Ella lowered her gaze, deliberately ignoring her.May looked at Ella and her tone softened considerably. “Ella, what you did yesterday was excellent. The editor-in-chief specifically praised you. Keep up the good work.”“Thank you, Editor May,” Ella replied politely.After the meeting, several interns approached her.“Ella, could we join you on your future major interviews? We’d like to help.”“Daisy, you guys…” Monica hadn’t expected them to side with Ella.Daisy picked up her files. “Those kids at the orphanage aren’t in an easy position. Even if it’s news, there’s no reason to mistreat them.”These interns had originally followed Monica blindly, but after seeing yesterday’s events, they could no longer believe her act
