Chapter 318
318 Returning With Him
Ella didn’t care about the people who had started to gather around her and looked at her with disdain. She didn’t care even if people tried to mock her or insult her openly.
These people were nothing to Ella. She did not intend to maintain her image in front of them.
She didn’t care what they thought at all.
Moreover, Ella knew that these people had absolutely no intention of personally attacking her. They intend to attack the woman who is beside Christian. Coincidentally, right now she was the one beside Christian so she had to be their target.
Meanwhile, Haikal let go of Indri’s hand and said impatiently, “Quickly greet everyone. Don’t let them think that you are an impolite woman and embarrass my family.”
Although Indri felt reluctant, she could only follow what her husband said.
She nodded and walked into the crowd.
Haikal brought his wine glass and glanced around. His eyes lit up brightly when he saw Ella sitting on a sofa.
Like an angel who came down to earth, her beauty was so extraordinary. Even at someone else’s party, Ella looked like the main character. Everyone around her was mere extras.
.....
Even the luxurious crystal chandelier that decorated the room was less attractive than the figure of Ella sitting on the corner of the room.
“Ella...” Haikal walked over to Ella. Without permission, he immediately sat next to her. “You came to this event too.”
Haikal thought that Ella came to this place together with Liam.
“Hmm...” Ella answered simply. She stood up, intending to leave the place.
“Ella, don’t leave in a hurry,” Haikal grabbed Ella’s wrist.
Some people had already started to look their way. Ella was helpless, unable to do anything. She wanted to remove Haikal’s hand from her wrist, but she couldn’t.
She also didn’t want to cause a ruckus at this party.
So, Ella could only sit back and ask, “What’s wrong?”
That cold tone made Haikal feel a little displeased. But Ella was the woman he wanted now. He could endure whatever Ella said.
“I just wanted to chat with you. As a friend.” His face still looked gentle, like when he was dealing with other people.
Indeed Haikal always looked like this, the biggest hypocrite Ella had ever known.
Ella wanted to laugh when she heard Haikal’s words. Chat like friends? Haikal always told her something similar. This man had absolutely no shame.
“There’s nothing we can talk about,” Ella said bluntly.
Haikal felt a little embarrassed by Ella’s refusal. But he still tried to find a topic of conversation. “Where’s Liam? Where did he go?”
“Liam isn’t coming today,” Ella looked around, but didn’t find Liam there. Liam is a very punctual person. If she didn’t show up on time, then he had decided not to attend the event in the first place.
Plus, the event had already started.
Hearing Ella’s words, the glass in Haikal’s hand seemed to wobble a little, almost slipping out of his hand. He asked in a surprised tone, “Then who did you come with?”
Ella was not involved in the business world. There’s no way James would suddenly invite her, right?
“Christian.”
That one name made Haikal very, very surprised.
Hasn’t Ella left Christian? Why did she come back with him? Since when?
After a long silence, Haikal finally asked, “You two are back together?” His gaze was both shocked and horrified. He also looked a little angry as if all his plans were falling apart. “How did you get back to him?”
If Ella did go back to Christian, things would be even more difficult.
Ella looked at Haikal’s ugly face and a sinister smile spread across her lips. “Does my decision have anything to do with you?”
Haikal also realized his stupidity. He immediately laughed to cover it up and said, “I was just worried about you. By the way, did Liam know you were back with Christian?”
He asked this purely out of curiosity. He knew very well how Liam felt about Ella. The man would not be able to accept that Ella returned to Christian.
But Ella’s answer really took him by surprise.
“He already knew. It was him who gave me the advice to go back to Christian.” Ella’s tone of voice as she said it sounded lonely.
She felt sorry for Liam. Liam had given her so much, but Ella couldn’t return the man’s feelings.
Ella couldn’t pay for everything Liam had given her.
“What?” Haikal couldn’t believe it. “Has he gone mad?”
Haikal felt increasingly annoyed because he was sure he could get Ella. He only needed to wait a few more moments to get her. But everything is a mess.
‘Shit!’ He cursed.
The ugliness on his face became more and more obvious.
Ella sneered. Why couldn’t she see Haikal like this before? Now, Haikal’s true face was clearly visible in her eyes.
“Ella,” Haikal put down his glass quite hard. He took Ella’s hand and said, “Don’t you know that guy yet? He’s so scary. You won’t be able to be safe beside him. You must leave him immediately.”
If Ella was still the same as five years ago, she would have been deceived by Haikal’s sincere appearance.
But Ella withdrew her hand and asked, “What do you mean I won’t be safe beside him? Stop your bullshit.”
The cynicism on Ella’s face was so obvious, it made Haikal feel his face was hot from being slapped directly even though Ella only used words to slap him.
“Ella, I did all this for you!” Haikal could feel his patience running out.
“Thanks but I don’t care,” said Ella with a faint smile.
Indri was walking around the room, greeting everyone one by one, especially when she saw someone who was famous and had a high status.
Even though some of these people attended Indri and Haikal’s wedding, and they also know what happened in their marriage, they still treat Indri well.
However, some still laughed at her and looked at her with a look full of contempt.
Indri could only swallow her anger while still maintaining her smile. After she finished, she went to look for Haikal.
But she didn’t expect that she would find Ella beside her husband!
She worked so hard to maintain the good name of her family as well as her husband. But what did Haikal do? He’s trying to approach Ella again!
How could Indri accept it?
All the anger and bitterness that she had swallowed earlier seemed to explode. Like a balloon that continued to be filled with air and eventually bursted. With her high heels stomping on the floor, she walked towards Ella.
“Ella, you really are shameless!”
