Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

162 The Evil One

“Thank you for sending all this stuff. I will keep it. One day, I will pay you for this favor.” Ella showed her intentions very clearly.

She didn’t want Liam to go near her.

She kept her distance and drew an invisible line between herself and Liam.

In the end, Liam had no other choice but to accept Ella’s decision.

Just for the time being...

Ella looked at Liam’s back which was getting further and further away from her sight with a look of relief and sadness at the same time.

She was sad that she had to treat Liam like this. But she did all of this for Liam’s good. She didn’t want Liam to get into trouble with Christian.

After all, no one could stand against Christian.

And now, only Ella could protect him.

.....

Since then, Nathan had always been beside Ella and held her hand, watching the two people in front of him speak. He could feel her hand getting wet from her own sweat.

Nathan frowned as he felt his palm slowly turning wet. He knew very well what made this woman so nervous that she was sweating.

“Are you afraid of my father?”

Nathan could understand why Ella kept walking away from this man. Nathan didn’t like Liam either, but that didn’t mean he didn’t understand why Ella was trying to stay away from Liam.

He knew that Ella didn’t hate Liam as much as she hated the two ugly women who had bullied her.

Ella nodded her head when she heard this question. “I don’t think there’s anyone who isn’t afraid of your father, except you.” She didn’t try to hide her fear of Christian in Nathan’s presence.

Nathan himself must have known how his father treated other people. The man was only gentle and soft to his son.

Christian was ruthless wherever he was, forcing everyone to bow their heads before him.

While thinking about this, Ella curled up slightly.

She didn’t know how long Christian would leave her like this.

Had Christian found a replacement? Or had he found another woman who was more attractive than her?

The more Ella thought about it, the more panicked she became. She felt she must take the initiative to find Christian.

What must she do to please Christian?

Suddenly, Ella felt her head hurt again.

She was so poor and had no money to buy anything! She couldn’t buy a present for Christian. What must she do to make Christian forgive her?

She was deep in thought when Nathan suggested, “Why don’t you just tell dad that you don’t like that uncle just now? Just tell dad you won’t see him again.”

Ella couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

“Fat boy, don’t you know that your father has a bad temper?”

Ella crouched down and tried to explain to Nathan, “If I tell your father, your father will be very angry. When he is angry, he will attack that uncle. If that uncle gets hurt, we will be called the bad guys for causing it to happen.”

Nathan listened to Ella’s explanation and understood it.

He just didn’t want Liam to bother Ella, no more than that. Nathan also didn’t want to harm other people.

He was just afraid that the uncle would snatch Ella from him.

Seeing Nathan who was deep in thought, Ella continued, “That’s why we can’t tell your father.”

“Dad...” Nathan blinked repeatedly and said, “Is dad a bad person?”

Ella couldn’t believe it when she heard Nathan’s question. How could this boy reach such a conclusion?

Ella really wanted to smack him in the mouth.

If Nathan said that in front of Christian, Ella would be responsible for it!

“Nathan, how can you talk like that about your father!” Ella looked at Nathan seriously. “You must respect your father!”

Luckily, Nathan asked her first. If Nathan’s question reached Christian’s ears, wouldn’t Ella suffer the consequence? She was the babysitter for god’s sake!

Nathan looked a little annoyed and with his puffy cheeks, he said, “Isn’t that what you meant earlier?”

Ella looked at him for a long time and said, “It seems your language skills are very good.”

“Why did you rebuke me then praise me now?” Nathan looked confused.

It was rare for this old woman to praise him.

Ella shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. “Just feels like it.”

...

The situation at Maheswara’s company finally stabilized.

Budi looked at his daughter who was sitting on the sofa watching TV and said in a serious voice, “Haikal doesn’t seem to pay much attention to you lately, huh?”

Indri was surprised to hear the question.

Budi had already told her to get Haikal and never let him go.

The Adisurya family could also be considered a fairly well-known family in this city. If the two families joined forces and cooperated, they could fight the other families.

Indri’s face looked hard to predict.

She also wanted to win Haikal’s heart. But she didn’t know what had happened recently. She didn’t know what made Haikal so cold to her, he didn’t even want to answer her call.

In front of everyone, they were still engaged, but then Haikal continued to visit different nightclubs every night.

The only day that Haikal didn’t go to a nightclub was when he discussed the investment matters with Budi.

“Father, I don’t want to be treated like this either.” Indri pursed her lips and looked at her father disapprovingly. “Isn’t all this because of Ella?”

“What happened to her?”

When talking about Ella, Budi’s brow furrowed.

He didn’t understand how his daughter could become a babysitter. When he investigated Ella and got the information, Budi was really surprised.

But if Ella could get close to Christian, that’s a good thing for him. Why should he waste it?

“Father, don’t you know that Ella has been in contact with Haikal before, right?” Indri took a deep breath. “Haikal must still like Ella and Ella took this opportunity to tease Haikal. And, I suspect that the company’s recent troubles have something to do with her. Otherwise, why would Haikal want you to invest funds into his project when our company already suffers.”

Those words immediately enlightened Budi.

All this time, he was surprised when the company suddenly experienced difficulties. Now the truth had been exposed.

His face was immediately filled with anger.

The anger made Indri feel happy. A hint of pride appeared on her face.

She wanted to see how Ella could remain arrogant in front of her father!

“Father, I can’t accept all this. How can we stay silent while being treated like this by Ella?” Indri whined in front of her father.
