Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

272 The Face That Always Fills the News

In the last few days, Christian’s face had been constantly appearing in the newspapers.

Almost everyone in town was guessing whether he would end up with Nadia or not. After all, the two of them are very compatible in many ways.

There are even some people who make an analysis about how much profit they can get for their companies and families if they get married.

Nadia can give everything that Ella can’t give to Christian.

She didn’t deserve to be compared to Nadia at all and Ella knew that very well.

Ella came to her senses.

Looking at the pensive woman beside him, Liam took the newspaper in Ella’s hand. He saw a photo of Nadia leaning on Christian’s shoulder. They both looked very affectionate and sweet, as if wanting to tell the world that they were about to announce some good news.

Liam doesn’t know what Christian is up to and he doesn’t care.

What Christian is doing right now makes him very happy.

.....

If Christian has forgotten Ella, his chances of getting Ella will be even greater.

He could make Ella happier than Christian.

“Ella, you should forget about him,” Liam said, looking Ella in the eye. “If it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t have suffered. You’ve been with him for a few months, but what did he give you? A promise to take revenge?”

Liam’s voice was gentle, but the impact was so great it was like a dagger stabbing deep into her heart.

It’s true. Christian didn’t give her anything.

Even after she left, Christian immediately replaced her with another woman.

Unknowingly, Ella’s hands were tightly clenched.

Ella was not a vindictive person. Since childhood, although she was stubborn, she was a forgiving girl. She could forget the mistakes of others easily.

But the suffering she felt for 5 whole years made her lose her kindness. She had a strong obsession within her, an obsession for revenge.

Her obsession to make those who had done bad to her feel what she felt.

She was so engrossed in her grudge that anything else should be of no importance to her. Including Christian.

Supposedly, Christian is an insignificant part of her life. But why did everything seem to change now?

Luca listened to this conversation with a surprised look in his eyes.

He did not expect that Ella held such a big grudge against the Maheswara Family.

But if he thought about it carefully, it’s no wonder Ella wanted revenge. Ella had been in a mental hospital for too long that hatred took root in her heart.

Ella’s sudden entry into a mental hospital was of course not a simple matter.

What’s more, after three days, Luca could tell that Ella was not a person with a mental illness.

However, the problem behind it, only Ella knows.

Ella looked at Liam with determination and said, “Liam, don’t you believe me? I have absolutely no feelings for him.” After that, Ella smiled. “I know what you think. But I’m not like other women who tried to get Christian’s attention to get him to marry me. I don’t have time to think about such things.”

Liam nodded. What Ella said just now was his utter worry.

When it came to competing with Haikal, Liam believed he was much better. But with Christian? He wasn’t too sure.

The power and wealth he had was not as big as Christian who had been in the business world for many years. If Christian suddenly attacked him, Liam wouldn’t be able to fight back. He couldn’t even do anything.

He had to wait until he was much stronger before he could challenge Christian head-on.

The atmosphere in the room grew heavier. Finally, Luca said, “Alright, let’s not talk about the past. The past has passed and there is no need to care. The most important thing now is to enjoy the present and think about the future.”

After saying that, Luca turned to Ella, “Yesterday, I didn’t finish teaching brush, right? How about we continue?”

Ella nodded and the topic of conversation turned to painting techniques.

Liam listened in silence to their conversation, but he wasn’t bored at all. His gaze was fixed on Ella, and he looked at her with tenderness.

This is the woman he loves.

Being near Ella made him feel calm.

After listening to Luca’s long explanation, Ella started practicing it by painting directly. Ella really admired Luca. The man possessed extraordinary technique, no less than the teacher her family had once called to teach her painting.

Ella started to raise her hand that was already holding the brush. But suddenly something crossed her mind.

“Something’s wrong with Haikal.”

Liam was taken aback by this sudden topic. He frowned and asked, “What’s wrong?”

When talking about Haikal, Liam realized the strangeness the man showed. Why did Haikal bring a girl who looked like Ella to his company yesterday?

After Liam drove Clara home, Haikal didn’t contact him anymore so he didn’t know what his real purpose was. It’s as if he really wanted to introduce the girl for no reason.

“Before I left Christian’s house, Haikal always contacted me. He kept explaining what had happened before and promising a better life for me.”

Ella’s words made Liam’s gaze serious.

The man had warned Haikal beforehand that he was the one who would marry Ella later. He didn’t expect Haikal to ignore his warning and keep bothering Ella.

Ella was still so lost in her memories that she didn’t even notice the expression on Liam’s face. After thinking for a while, she said, “I’ve been in contact with Haikal for quite a while, so I know his nature. I think he wants something from me. Or he still wants me and doesn’t want to let me go.”

“But...” Ella frowned. “He knew Christian would be mad if he did. Why would he take such a big risk?”

This is the weirdest thing of all that Haikal had done.

Liam was happy that Ella reminded him to be careful of Haikal. He didn’t want Ella to be too stressed about this so he stroked her head and said, “Don’t worry too much about it. Let me take care of everything. You just need to paint here. Don’t worry, I’m not stupid. I hope my cooperation with him will be successful. But if things don’t go well, I won’t let him do something bad.”

“You can’t be too careless when you’re with him,” after saying that, Ella continued painting.

Now, she has her own job to support her life. Of course she had to work hard.

Plus, this was her dream for a long time.

What they didn’t expect was that Haikal found Ella two days later.

Ever since Ella disappeared, Haikal had been constantly trying to find her. He even sent many people to follow Liam.

When Liam got suspicious, he would replace those people and send new ones.

Now, he finally found Ella again!
