Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

Chapter 161



161 Obsessed

“What happened?”

Liam frowned when he saw the bruises on Ella’s neck. The bruise was very clear and still fresh.

He looked very worried as he noticed the bruises on Ella’s neck. He could clearly see the fingerprints left on Ella’s white neck. Based on the bruises, Liam could tell that Christian must’ve strangled Ella before.

Ella was still very precious to Liam. It never crossed his mind that the woman he loved would be treated this way.

He knew very well that Ella was a strong woman. But it seemed, in Christian’s presence, she couldn’t do anything.

Ella didn’t want to show it to Liam.

She knew that Liam’s reaction would be much more chaotic than Nathan’s. In addition, Ella also felt that she didn’t deserve to be worried about by Liam.

Liam treated her very well since they were little. He always defended her. But now, everything had changed.

Their relationship was no longer as good as it used to be.

.....

What they had was the past.

Ella didn’t want to think about their relationship anymore. The only thing she thought about was a way to survive and take revenge.

“I’m fine.”

Ella cracked a smile and stepped back, keeping her distance from Liam.

Seeing Ella’s stubbornness to keep herself away from him, Liam felt very uncomfortable.

So what if he could guess that it was Christian who did this to Ella? He did not have the strength to snatch Ella back from Christian’s hands.

Nathan kept looking at Liam.

After that, his gaze fell on Ella as he pulled her aside and stood up to protect her. “Old woman, stay away from him!” He said with a frown. “I don’t like seeing you with him!”

Even though Nathan was very young, he could understand that this man in front of him wanted Ella.

He had seen many examples from dramas on television and guessed that this man in front of him was thinking the same thing.

Even though Nathan couldn’t marry Ella one day, he still couldn’t accept the fact that this old woman was going to marry another man. He just wanted to spend time with this old woman until that day came.

Making up his mind, Nathan gripped Ella’s hand tighter.

Ella could feel the warmth and tenderness from the boy’s tiny hand.

“I’m not going,” Ella replied gently. Her voice was low, but audible enough for Nathan.

And Liam could also hear it clearly.

He felt utterly useless now.

Liam clenched his fists and asked, “Ella, don’t I deserve to worry about you now?”

Liam couldn’t stand it when Ella kept trying to stay away from him.

Liam might be a gentleman, but he also had a stubborn side.

How could he let go of the girl he’d cared for since childhood? How could he give up so easily?

“Liam, we can be friends,” Ella said with a faint smile.

She had no other choice.

The last time she had contact with Liam, Christian had not returned to his house until now. It showed his attitude.

Christian hated it when someone else wanted his belonging, let alone a woman.

Christian still believed that Ella was cheating on him. But at least he was doing nothing to vent his anger on Liam.

If Ella was still involved with Liam, it’s tantamount to looking for trouble.

Now Ella still didn’t understand what Christian would do. Her plans for revenge could run smoothly but it depended on Christian.

“If I’m your friend, what’s wrong with me paying attention to you now?”

Liam’s words brought Ella back to her senses.

His sad face made Ella feel guilty.

If only her life was the same as before, Ella would not hesitate to be near Liam, by his side.

“Liam, don’t be so obsessed with something you shouldn’t care about.”

Ella’s voice was calm and flat, as if she was saying it to hurt Liam’s heart.

She thought Liam would give up after she said it. Although Liam was kind, of course he still had self-respect.

But to Ella’s surprise, Liam continued to ask her with a pale face, “Then what should I do?”

He had lost Ella once and he didn’t want to lose Ella again.

He was willing to give up his pride now so as not to regret his decision for the rest of his life.

Liam’s pleading tone made Ella tremble slightly.

She lifted her head to look at Liam.

Previously, Ella was a spoiled and childish girl, completely unsuitable for Liam. And now that Ella was a cheap woman who sold her body for revenge, she didn’t even deserve to talk to Liam.

“You are the eldest son of the Jaya Family,” her low voice made Liam’s heart ache again.

He could see the estrangement in Ella’s gaze.

“Has everything changed?” Liam could only close his lips tightly until they looked pale from the force.

“You have your decision and I also have mine,” after a long silence, Liam finally said the sentence.

Ella could only look at Liam with an uncomfortable look. The discomfort came from feelings of sadness, disappointment, regret for the past that she could never restore.

What could she do now?

She couldn’t do anything.

The only thing she could do was keep her distance from Liam so that Liam wouldn’t get involved in her problem and suffer.

“Right, we each have our own choices,” Ella looked at him calmly. “So don’t see me again.”

After that, she looked at the box in front of her, the box that contained all of her past memories.

There were dolls, a slightly damaged music box and jewels neatly tucked away.

She could feel Liam’s sacrifice for her.

“Thank you for sending all this stuff. I will keep it. One day, I will pay you for this favor.”

As Ella did usually, she drew a line to separate the two of them.

Liam’s body trembled slightly. He didn’t recognize the woman in front of him.

Suddenly, hatred rose from his heart.

The Maheswara Family and Christian were responsible for turning Ella into someone he didn’t know....

His heart fell into turmoil, but Liam’s face still looked calm and gentle as he looked at the woman in front of him. This didn’t seem like the right time to move forward.

He decided to take a break for the time being.

“Hmm, fine then.”

After that, he slowly turned around and walked the other way.

Although Ella was surprised by Liam’s change in attitude, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, Liam left.
