147 Obsessed
Besides Ella, Merry is sure there is someone who wants these items.
Liam.
The man loved Ella so much that he wouldn’t think twice to pay 500 million. Even if they asked for 1 billion, Liam probably wouldn’t bat an eye at all.
“Mother, why did you hit me? What did I do wrong? If it weren’t for Ella, we wouldn’t have suffered like this. What’s the use of you hitting me? Can you get the money by hitting me?”
Indri held her cheek with a face full of anger.
“What’s the difference between you and dad? You all take your anger out on me just because you can’t solve this problem.
PLAK!
Another slap landed on Indri’s cheek.
Merry looked at her daughter with a firm gaze like iron that could not be shaken. “What do you think your father would do if he heard your words? Indri, how many times have I said that before you speak, use your brain to think first!”
.....
Merry looked at her daughter who was sitting on the ground looking pitiful then helped her to get up. “It’s not that I want to be cruel to you. I’m just worried.”
Indri looked at her mother and wanted to argue again, but in the end she didn’t say anything.
Actually, she objected to her mother’s attitude towards her. However, in her heart she knew very well that she should not go against her mother.
At least now the only person she could rely on was her mother.
Merry felt much better when she saw her daughter obey her. That meant Indri would listen to her from now on, right?
“I’ve thought of another solution,” a smile appeared on Merry’s face, making Indri excited too.
“Really? What is the solution?”
“Well...” Merry looked at her daughter seriously. “Go to Liam’s place and tell him you have Ella’s belongings in your hands. Just give it to him if he wants to pay for it. I’m sure he’ll take it.”
“Liam?” Indri frowned. She felt the name was quite familiar.
After thinking about it over and over again, she finally remembered a figure. Her mouth fell open. “Is this Liam guy... Ella’s childhood friend?”
Indri was used to wanting everything that belonged to Ella, including Liam.
But Liam was only obsessed with Ella.
No matter how hard Indri tried to cling to him and give all her toys to Liam, Liam only cared about Ella.
There was still a grudge in Indri’s heart, the only thing she couldn’t take from Ella was Liam.
Haikal was easy to snatch, but Liam... She could never do it!
Because of this incident, Indri began to hate Liam. Liam never looked at her in the slightest.
“Remember the last time we saw Ella at the jewelry store?” Merry’s eyes sparkled with cunning lights. “The man who defended Ella back then was Liam.”
“Hah?” Indri screamed because she was so surprised. “I don’t think they know each other.”
“There it is! Ella must be trying to hide her relationship with Liam from Christian. We can use this problem to make Christian hate Ella. But first, we have to get the money from Liam first.”
“Mother, you are so great! I’m going to Liam’s place right now!”
Indri rushed to change clothes and redo her makeup. After that, she came out with her bag.
Ella, on the other side, spent her time at Christian’s house. However, because of the call from Indri, she felt worry in her heart.
Her mind couldn’t focus as she played with Nathan. Finally, she couldn’t stay still and rose to her feet.
“Old woman, what’s the matter?”
Nathan also got up and asked when he noticed the worry on Ella’s face. He seemed to be able to feel Ella’s turbulent emotions.
“Nothing. I just wanted to take a short walk.”
Ella shook her head and smiled at Nathan. Afraid that Nathan would worry about her, she crouched down and pinched his chubby cheeks. “Wait for me at home. I just wanted to get some fresh air outside.”
“You...” Nathan looked doubtful for a moment before tugging at the hem of Ella’s shirt. “Did dad beat you?”
Nathan knew his father’s character. This old woman had only bought one rose. Of course his father would be displeased.
Though if he got that one rose, he would also be annoyed.
The difference was that Nathan would never hit Ella. Meanwhile, his father was much stricter than him. What if it turned out that his father beat Ella?
They were at home all day. Nathan couldn’t think of any other reason.
“Not.”
Ella looked at Nathan carefully. Previously, Ella also admired Christian for his achievements at a young age. He could be successful at such a young age.
But all that he could get because he was so cruel.
Ella could only describe him in three words: A cruel man.
When the boy thought about it now, whenever Nathan saw Ella with Christian, he would think that Christian was bullying that woman.
Since Ella worked here as a babysitter, she didn’t want Nathan to have a bad impression of his own father.
“Nathan, your father is actually a... gentleman,” Ella almost bit her own tongue when she said that. Christian was by no means a gentleman.
But she still forced herself to say, “Actually, your father is not a gentleman, except at certain times, he is still kind to people. Indeed he is very strict with you, but he still loves you very much.”
Nathan nodded seriously and looked at Ella. “I know dad is very good to me. He’s just bullying you.”
That’s right!
Ella wanted to scream it, but in the end, she swallowed the words back.
Nathan felt bad for saying this directly and making Ella feel uncomfortable so he grabbed Ella’s arm and comforted her. “It’s okay. I will treat you well.”
“Thank you, Nathan,” Ella smiled and stroked his head gently.
She wasn’t in the mood to talk to Nathan. After saying a few words, she decided to leave.
Nathan looked at Ella who was getting further away with an uncomfortable feeling. He asked the butler to find a bodyguard to follow her.
Ella noticed the presence of the bodyguard as she strolled around the housing estate. Her face immediately looked annoyed.
“Hey, it’s safe here. Do you need to follow me?”
How could she calm her mind when someone was following her?
The bodyguard immediately shook his head and insisted on following Ella. “Young master told me to protect you.”
Ella thought for a moment and looked around her. After that, she stood in front of the guard. “Christian really doesn’t like it when I’m alone with another man, you know.”
Ella raised her hand and placed it on the bodyguard’s shoulder. “Do you think bodyguards like you are an exception? Don’t you realize that Christian is nice to me, but he never lets anyone follow me when I go out? He left me at home instead of telling me to go out.”
Ella said it in a seductive voice, “Who knows if you’re putting yourself in danger because... We don’t know how Christian will take his anger out and who will bear the consequence for it later, right?”
Ella blinked her eyes repeatedly, leaving the bodyguard stunned. After that, the man stepped back, as if he had just seen a ghost.
