Chapter 317
317 Talking About It Openly
Nadia’s hands were tightly clenched at her sides. Her eyes widened sinisterly as if she wanted to skin Ella alive.
If this woman didn’t come back, how could Christian throw her out of the house!
She blamed Ella for everything that had happened to her. The finish line seemed to be in front of her, but the presence of this woman became a stumbling block that made her fall to the ground. Her eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at Ella.
However, Nadia was not in a hurry and was not consumed by her emotions. She knew that this was not the time to act.
After today, Hartono would surely realize Ella’s presence in Christian’s heart. As the head of the Adipamungkas Family, he would not allow his grandson to marry this kind of woman.
Ella was completely unaware of Nadia’s presence at the party. When she raised her head, she saw Indri enter the party room with Haikal by his side.
Indri wore a bright yellow dress. Her face showed pride and happiness.
She knew that many people were waiting for her separation from Haikal. Everyone must be cursing her and waiting for her downfall. But this time, they came to this event together, hand in hand. Wouldn’t that be tantamount to slapping everyone in the face?
A smile also radiated from Haikal’s face, even though the smile was just a fake.
.....
He couldn’t wait to get rid of the woman beside him. But for the sake of preserving the good name of his family, he couldn’t get rid of this woman right now.
Plus, he still had something to gain from her.
Indri did not know what was on her husband’s mind at this time. All she knew, Haikal was looking into her face, making her feel embarrassed. Her heart was beating fast.
“Haikal, you haven’t looked at me like that in a long time.”
“Is that true?” Haikal replied nonchalantly.
Indri nodded quickly.
Since Haikal knew that her father had no intention of giving the house, her husband’s attitude towards her changed drastically.
Their marriage was in turmoil, until the news was caught by the media.
To solve the problem, the two of them decided to attend this event together.
Indri’s appearance made Haikal snort. “James is an important partner to my family. Don’t embarrass me today.”
“Okay.” Indra nodded enthusiastically. The ethics lessons she had learned since becoming Haikal’s wife would finally come in handy today.
They both walked up to James and greeted him politely. After that, Haikal and Indri returned to the crowd.
Ella looked at them scornfully. For some reason, the more she didn’t want to meet someone, the more that person would appear in front of her.
Haikal and Indri seemed to be everywhere.
But this was not something surprising. James was also quite an important person and his business was quite big. Of course, the Adisurya Family and the Maheswara Family would not miss this great opportunity.
Christian followed Ella’s gaze and noticed that the woman was looking at Haikal and Indri.
These two people are quite important figures in Ella’s life, especially Haikal. This makes Christian feel displeased.
Plus, while Ella was still living at his house, Haikal repeatedly came and bothered Ella.
“Why are you looking at them?” Christian asked. His voice sounded a little disappointed.
Ella looked at Christian and said, “I didn’t expect to meet them in this place.”
“Recently, the Adisurya Family and the Maheswara Family are experiencing difficulties. In addition, there is a high possibility of internal conflict within their family. I think they want to find friends who can help them.”
Even after Ella left him, Christian was still watching the Maheswara Family’s every move.
Christian knew what Ella cared about. Since Ella was always watching them, Christian also paid attention to them, for whatever reason.
Ella looked at Christian in disbelief. “Did they fight each other?”
It seemed that the union between the two families did not create good harmony. In fact, the Adisurya Family and the Maheswara Family have internal conflicts that can destroy them from within.
“They are stupid,” Christian said nonchalantly.
The feud of these two families would give others a chance to take advantage of them. Ella is not someone who is experienced in the business world, unlike Christian who knows everything.
Hearing Christian’s insult, Ella averted her gaze.
Christian didn’t know the truth.
Christian didn’t know that it was Liam who helped Haikal from behind. That’s why Haikal didn’t feel worried. He didn’t care at all even if he lost the support of the Maheswara Family because Liam was there to help him.
But Ella couldn’t tell Christian about the matter.
Otherwise, Christian would know that Liam was still hanging around them. That way, Christian would use various means, including cruel ways, to get in the way of Liam.
Many people came to greet Christian and make small talk with him. Fearing that Ella would feel uncomfortable with the arrival of these people, Christian finally got up with his wine glass and whispered to Ella before leaving. “Wait for me here. I will be back.”
Ella nodded.
People who came to chat with Christian immediately said, “You are very kind to this lady.”
“Yes. Before, you always brought your secretary to events like this.” The people looked at each other, while occasionally complimenting Christian
Ella, frowning.
She doesn’t understand why everyone feels that Christian is being nice to her. She didn’t know when he was nice to her.
The compliments made Christian happy. He walked over to them and chatted in a good mood. At the same time, he was drawing up a plan in his mind. Should he order his butler to remind his kindness in front of Ella?
Christian feels that Ella has a bad memory. She couldn’t remember all the good he had done for her at all. Maybe there needs to be someone to remind her all the time.
After Christian leaves her, Ella feels at ease. She could enjoy the cake in her hands while relaxing. She really likes sweet food. This cake must be made by a famous chef so it tastes really good.
After Christian left her, Ella’s stronghold seemed to disappear. The women around immediately looked at Ella with disdain.
Previously, they were too focused on Christian’s identity to assume that Ella was the woman who accompanied him. But after Christian moved from there, they just remembered that this woman was the eldest daughter of the Maheswara Family who was expelled by her own family.
Plus, the arrival of Indri made them remember everything that happened.
“There is a lot of drama between the two sisters,” someone said with a sneer.
Ella wasn’t too far from them and the person said it so loud that she could hear it.
However, Ella didn’t care at all.
She doesn’t care if someone insults her. That’s how human nature is. If someone else is sitting in her place right now, maybe these people will also look for something bad to talk about that person.
Humans are always focused on the bad side, not the good one.
