Chapter 404 - 404 The Only One Who Can Help Me
404 The Only One Who Can Help Me
The Maheswara family was in the middle of a cold war because Indri refused to marry Liam.
Because of Haikal’s sweet promise, Indri decided to choose Haikal over Liam.
She knew that Liam was indeed much better than Haikal, both in appearance and family background. But what’s the point of a marriage without love?
What’s the point of getting married if your partner can’t give you attention and happiness?
Meanwhile, Haikal regretted his past mistakes and promised her happiness. Of course, Indri prefered Haikal to Liam.
On the other hand, the more broad-minded Budi found Haikal’s offer a little suspicious. Haikal was a person who couldn’t be trusted.
He used to act as if he supported the Maheswara Family, but in a short time, he changed and tried to bring him down.
What if the same thing happened again?
Meanwhile, Ella only found out about this urgent situation after a day had passed. In the morning, Ella went downstairs after taking a shower and changed her clothes.
.....
She went downstairs first, while Christian was showering and getting ready to go to the office.
While heading to the dining room, Ella realized that the food was still not ready because she had woken up earlier than usual. Nathan, who usually got up earlier than her, was still nowhere to be seen.
Ella decided to relax and watch television while waiting for the food to be served. Just then, she saw the news about Liam.
Ella did not expect that in just one day, the news had become this big. She was very heartless and sad when she saw this hot news.
Liam’s parents, who had long retreated from the business world and left all the work to their son, are now forced to attend a press conference to explain about Liam and Indri’s relationship.
Ella clenched her fists as she witnessed all this in front of her.
What the Maheswara Family did was outrageous. Just because they didn’t manage to fight Ella and get her to obey them, they turned their sights on Liam and set him up.
Nathan went downstairs and saw Ella looking at the television screen in front of him. When he was about to say good morning to Ella, Nathan fell silent because he could feel the anger boiling on Ella’s sharp eyes.
“Old woman, are you all right?” This was the first time Nathan had seen Ella this angry and he was completely shocked.
Ella calmed herself when she heard Nathan’s voice. “I’m fine.”
Ella is fine. Liam is the one who’s in big trouble right now. And all because of her family.
Yesterday, Ella spent a long time at her mother’s grave and came home late so she didn’t pay attention to the news. She also briefly distanced herself from social media and news to calm herself from the problems she faced regarding the result of her painting competition.
Little did she know that the news had become this big.
Nathan immediately ran and approached Ella. He took her hand and said worriedly, “I know you are very angry. What happened? Tell me. Dad and I will defend you. I will ask him to teach those bad guys a lesson.”
After saying that, Nathan felt something was wrong with his words. He frowned and thought for a moment before saying, “Even though dad is great, he is a little uncontrollable. Let me help you. From now on, you can’t stay away from me.”
Nathan held his head high and patted his chest with great confidence.
When he was about to boast himself in front of Ella, suddenly the back of his shirt was pulled back.
“Go eat your breakfast,” Christian’s voice came from behind.
Nathan pursed his lips in annoyance and folded his arms across his chest as he stamped his feet and left. He would eat very much so that he grew taller than his father. Once his body was much taller, he would avenge what his father did!
He would monopolize Ella and upset his father!
Ella lifted her head and looked at Christian, hesitant to ask him for help. Ella knew that Christian didn’t like Liam…
Just as Ella was struggling, Christian walked up to her with his long legs and stopped in front of her.
“Do you want to ask for help?”
Ella moistened her dry lips. This man always guessed her right.
But Ella didn’t know how to answer. She was afraid Christian would be angry if she asked for help. But if no one helped Liam…
“That…”
Ella tried to make herself look really sad and guilty. Even though she and Liam were just friends, this man in front of her wouldn’t stop suspecting her.
Christian could guess what Ella wanted to say. But Christian didn’t want to hear the name of his love rival come out of Ella’s mouth.
Unfortunately, that man was very important to Ella.
If something happened to Liam and Christian just watched it in silence, Christian was afraid that Ella would hate him.
“Christian…”
Ella walked over to Christian and grabbed the hem of his shirt. She lifted her head and looked at Christian with a pitiful look. “Can I ask you a favor?”
Seeing Ella like this, Christian almost melted and agreed to all her requests. No matter what Ella wants, Christian will grant it.
But Christian holds back and looks at her blankly, “What’s wrong?”
Ella felt a little desperate. Her plan had failed. Doesn’t this man like her pitiful gaze?
Inwardly, Ella could only take a deep breath. But she steeled her resolve and said, “Do you know what happened to Liam lately?”
Seeing Christian nod, Ella’s eyes flash with joy.
“Can you help him?”
Christian’s jaw tightens.
Ella struggled to explain when she saw it, “Liam is important to me…”
“You used this excuse last time,” Christian said, looking at her coldly.
“No matter how many times it is used, the excuse will not go to waste.” Ella smiled at Christian. “Only you can help him now. I can’t do anything and I don’t know who to ask for help. I only have you, right? So please…”
Ella’s soft voice made Christian’s defenses crumble. He threw away all his armor and let Ella enter his mind.
“Hmm…”
“Really?” Ella almost jumped for joy. She thought she should try hard to get Christian’s help. She didn’t think it would be this easy.
Christian lowered his head slightly and pointed to his lips. Ella then happily kissed his lips.
The kiss that started off light and playful turned into a hot and passionate one.
It’s still early. Before Ella had breakfast, Christian had brought her back to the room to take the ‘downpayment’ for the help Ella had asked for.
Satisfied, Christian agreed to work with Liam.
Liam is in his office, feeling dizzy that so many of his co-workers are withdrawing from their partnership. Liam thinks today is the last day to make a decision.
But suddenly, Christian appears in front of his office with a triumphant look.
