Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

Chapter 118

118 Gift

“Why are we going here?” Ella asked in surprise. She was confused when she realized that their destination wasn’t Christian’s company but a jewelry store.

“For you.” After answering Ella’s question shortly, Christian put his arm around Ella’s waist and the two of them entered the jewelry store together, like a very affectionate couple.

“Sir, Miss, please come in.”

The clerk at the door bowed respectfully and welcomed them into his shop.

Ella knew this jewelry store, this shop was very well known for making custom jewelry. She also knew very well that the price of jewelry in this shop was very astonishing.

Among the rich people, there were many women who spent so much money to buy jewelry here. Jewelry from this shop was like a symbol to show their wealth.

Ella had also gotten jewelry from this shop. It was a present from her father for her sixteenth birthday.

However, since Indri liked it, Ella finally relented and gave the jewelry to her stepsister.

Previously, Ella did not know how much the jewelry cost. But now, she knew how much her father loved her back then.

.....

Back then...

If only she had known that the price was so expensive, she would not have given it to Indri. Not after she realized just what kind of half-sister Indri really was.

She felt even more sad and disappointed when she thought about it.

Christian saw the sad look on Ella’s face. He thought that it might be because Ella couldn’t buy jewelry in this shop.

If that was the case, this gift from him would surely make Ella feel very happy.

That put a smile on Christian’s face.

“Which one do you like?” Christian asked Ella.

He whispered the question so close that Ella could feel Christian’s warm breath on her neck, making her curl up.

Ella’s face immediately turned red. She looked at the man beside her. “Which one do you think is the best?” Her soft voice was like a song to Christian’s ears.

As she said so, she took Christian’s arm in a spoiled manner. “I will go with your choice.”

Christian was very happy to see Ella obedient to him. When Ella acted like this, Christian felt like he completely owned Ella.

He looked at the shop clerk in front of him and said, “Take some of the best jewelry in this shop and show it to her.”

The clerk immediately took some jewelry and placed it on a glass display. He said politely, “This model is perfect for you, Miss.”

Ella saw the collections that the shop clerk showed and felt that they were all very beautiful. Each piece of jewelry had its own characteristics.

But Ella still wondered why Christian suddenly wanted to give her a present.

Christian looked at all the jewelry on the display and asked Ella. “Which one do you like?”

Ella was hesitant to answer it, but she also didn’t dare ask the reason why Christian had bought her this expensive piece of jewelry.

She tried to buy some time thinking about what could’ve made Christian want to give her a gift.

Is this a trap?

Christian is in a good mood right now. He let Ella walk around in the shop and look at all the jewelry. He even followed Ella like a passionate husband.

As time went on, Ella felt more and more anxious. Even though she hadn’t done anything wrong, somehow a feeling of guilt gnawed at her heart.

At that moment, Christian’s cell phone suddenly rang. Christian took his cell phone from his coat pocket and frowned as he looked at the screen.

“I have to pick up this call.” He said, then Ella nodded quickly.

Seeing Christian’s figure disappear from her sight, Ella could only breathe a sigh of relief.

Five minutes had passed, but Christian hadn’t come back either. Maybe he had important business to attend to right now.

Having Christian beside her made Ella feel much calmer. She can walk around the shop more relaxed.

“Mom, I know you are angry. But there’s no other way,” a female voice sounded from a distance. Ella raised her eyebrows when she heard a familiar voice.

These two were the people Ella did not want to meet the most. But fate kept playing with her.

The more Ella avoided them, the more she ran into them.

Merry and Indri walked hand in hand, showing their closeness as mother and daughter who loved each other.

Neither of them noticed Ella’s presence in the shop. They were still chatting happily...

“Indri, Haikal is in big trouble right now. It’s not that our family doesn’t want to help, but...”

Merry’s tone sounded very sad.

She wants to help his future son-in-law, but this problem involves Christian. If the Maheswara Family is involved, she will not get any benefit.

“Indri, what did Haikal do to make Christian this angry?” Merry asked in a low voice. Her brows furrowed as if she didn’t understand.

Ella didn’t hear their conversation clearly, and she didn’t intend to interfere either.

Unfortunately, when she was about to leave, Indri said her name and caught Ella’s attention.

“All of this is because of Ella, that bitch! If it weren’t for her seducing Christian and using her body to warm his bed, how could Christian attack Haikal?” Indri gritted her teeth angrily as she recalled Ella. “Mother, you should have listened to my advice first. Look, that damn whore is giving us trouble now.”

Indri did not expect Haikal to still have feelings for Ella. Even though Haikal is only interested in Ella’s appearance, Indri still can’t accept it.

She had been by Haikal’s side for five years already, she had done so much for him. How could Ella be compared to her?

Merry’s face immediately turned unsightly. A sharp look appeared in her eyes as she said, “There’s no point in regretting that. Now it’s more important that we find a way to solve Haikal’s problem.”

“Mother, Haikal said as long as...”

“Ella?”

Merry did not listen to Indri’s words until the end because she saw Ella’s figure. She looked surprised when she saw Ella was looking at them casually.

“I heard what you said just now, my dear mother and step-sister,” a sweet smile spread across Ella’s face.

Merry was surprised to see her. That smile was still the same as five years ago.

But the woman in front of her was no longer the same.

Now, she couldn’t figure out what Ella was thinking.

“Indri, we should...”

When Merry was about to open her mouth and ask her daughter to leave, Indri had already stepped forward and raised her hand to slap Ella’s face.
