Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

Chapter 157

157 Giving This a Chance

“You bastard ...” the grunt came in a voice as low as a whisper, but because of the silence of the room, Christian could hear it.

Ella felt the hairs on her neck stand up as soon as she realized Christian was there. Looks like she’ll have to take good care of her mouth or even sew it up next time.

Her mouth made it even more difficult for her!

She was shaking, not only because she hated hospitals, but also because of the existence of that sinister figure. Should Christian put on a creepy face like that?

She only complained a little because of this man’s cruelty! Was it wrong? Why was this man so cruel!

Inwardly, Ella thought so, but she didn’t dare say a single word.

With a smile on her face, Ella looked at Christian. “Thanks for not killing me.”

Thank you. Right, thank you!

This damn man almost sent her to her death!

.....

The more disappointed and hurt Ella felt, the wider the smile on her face. “Have you been waiting for me here? I am very touched.”

Christian did not respond to the sweet words from Ella’s mouth. He just glanced at her and then looked away.

Ella moistened her dry lips. Her instincts told her to get out of the hospital immediately. She didn’t like this place.

Ella lifted the blanket she was using and wanted to leave.

“Do you hate me that much?” Those cold words caused Ella to stop moving.

Ella was sure that if she nodded, Christian would strangle her again, this time to death.

“I like you. Why would I hate you?”

Ella got off the bed with a smile on her face. She put her hand on Christian’s shoulder and squeezed it gently. “I feel bad that you have been waiting for me since earlier. Now rest.”

Christian didn’t appreciate Ella’s sweet words at all. He tilted his head and his gaze fell on Ella’s slender fingers that perched on his shoulder.

Subconsciously, his hand rose to grip it. The warmth from his palm seemed to penetrate into Ella’s heart, making her heart feel like it was jumping out of her body.

At this moment, Ella couldn’t understand Christian’s feelings.

“Christian...”

Ella didn’t hear a sound from the man and saw his face turn even more sinister so she decided to call out his name.

But Christian was still the same as before, ignoring her like the wind.

Christian wanted to see how much patience Ella had with him. How exactly was his position compared to the man she loved.

Or was it true that Ella wanted to cheat on him with Liam?

Christian himself already knew Liam’s reputation and heard about his achievements. It was easier for Ella to approach such a man compared to him.

With a man like Liam, Ella would find it easier to get what she wanted.

Ella felt even more anxious and panicked when she saw Christian not answering. She felt her fate was uncertain.

What was this man going to do?

Would he kick her out?

“How does it feel to approach two men at the same time?” Christian finally opened his mouth. But the question made Ella instantly freeze.

Turns out that’s how low she is in Christian’s eyes.

It’s true. From the start, she had sold her body to Christian. She had absolutely no self-respect.

“I didn’t.”

Ella pursed her lips, resisting the urge to explain to Christian. The more she tried to defend herself, the angrier Christian would be with her.

After all, Christian would not believe her explanation.

Christian turned and sat in a chair. His position was so much below Ella that Christian had to lift his head to look at Ella.

“What do you mean you didn’t?” Christian’s lips twitched as he said this.

The cynicism in his eyes made Ella withdraw her hand.

Her cheeks had just blushed when she came to her senses, but now she looked pale again.

The humiliation made her hands clenched into fists, feeling like she was being stripped naked and humiliated.

From the start, Ella was not a patient person. And now, she was in a place she hated the most. Her heart seemed to urge her to immediately run away from there.

But she still had the sense to stop her steps.

If she left, what would she do next?

She still had a lot to do. She wanted to make the Maheswara Family regret what they did to her and take back everything that belonged to her.

Now, it’s not the time to leave Christian.

“If I’ve been with Liam, how can I stay with you all the time?”

Ella’s face remained calm. “You understand Liam’s position in the business world much more than I do. The strength of the Jaya Family is not much different from that of the Maheswara Family. Why should I take such a big risk?”

That was the best explanation she could give.

Compared to Liam, Ella would still choose Christian.

Her relationship with Christian was nothing more than a relationship based on profit. But with Liam, their relationship could’ve been more than that.

Their relationship would’ve involved feelings.

Ella couldn’t do it. She couldn’t involve Liam in all of this.

While thinking about Ella’s explanation, Christian got to his feet and approached her. “Between the two of us, you decided to choose me because I can help you with your revenge faster.”

The Jaya family and the Maheswara family had equal power, but Christian was on another different level.

If he wanted, he could seize the Maheswara Family’s company with a snap of his fingers.

The previous acquisition of the Maheswara Family shares was just to show Ella that he could do anything to torture Budi Maheswara. But now everything was unnecessary.

“Heh...” Ella pouted and returned Christian’s gaze. “It’s useless for me to explain. You will never believe me.”

Ella released herself from Christian’s grip. “If that’s what you’ve decided, I won’t be staying much longer. I can find someone else to help me.”

Ella said it casually, but her heart said otherwise.

Those words were mere gibberish, something she meant to lure Christian. If she really left Christian, she would end badly.

Christian could have left her with no place in this city. The man could have made her life much worse than five years ago.

“Ella!” Christian grabbed Ella’s wrist and turned her to face him.

How dare this woman say such a thing!

Looking for someone else? Christian would make sure that any man who wanted Ella would experience a life far worse than death.

“Do you think you have a chance to do it?”

Christian couldn’t accept that Ella would go with another man.

Haikal... Liam... How many other men were there in this woman’s life?

Ella tilted her head defiantly. “Weren’t you the one who gave me this opportunity?”

Even though she looked calm, Ella breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. Luckily, Christian still wanted her.

She was risking her fate. If Christian really threw her away, maybe she should just sew up her sloppy mouth!
