Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

Chapter 175



175 Black House

“But why is talking about that woman considered taboo?”

“I don’t know either,” said the butler with a bland smile on his face. “Master moved to this place because of the company. Before this, they lived in the main family’s house. Young master was so naughty that he was brought here by the Master.”

With this answer, the butler couldn’t be of much help either,

Ella paid close attention to the butler’s words.

Family house?

...

The black house Nathan meant was just a small house with dim lights and no air conditioning. It was a separate house from the main house.

The butler said that the house had been used as a residence by the previous babysitters. But after they resigned, the house became uninhabited.

Ella felt there was nothing wrong with the house. After all, she was calmer living alone like this.

.....

She could reflect and think about the next step she should take.

At first, she wanted to ask the butler if Nathan’s birth mother would return. But most likely the butler didn’t know either so Ella didn’t ask.

If Christian knew that Ella was asking about Nathan’s birth mother behind his back, the man would definitely be mad at her again.

Ella lay on the bed thinking about the butler’s words.

Taboo?

Did Laras tell her on purpose?

And maybe what Nathan said was just a coincidence.

He happened to talk about his birth mother and Ella tried to connect it to Laras’ words.

Ella hid her face under the pillow and took a deep breath.

Indeed, curiosity can kill!

If she hadn’t asked Christian so much, maybe their relationship wouldn’t have turned out this way.

Maybe Christian still wanted her and pampered her as usual.

Everything felt so unreal.

Christian’s love and care felt so unreal. In Ella’s mind, only Christian’s scathing words echoed.

While thinking, Ella clenched her fists tightly.

The last conclusion that she could get from this matter was, everything happened because of Laras. She was a disaster for her and she must get rid of her immediately.

...

At this moment, in the master bedroom of the main house, Christian was already in his nightgown and could only stare at the large empty bed with an uneasy feeling in his heart.

That damn woman!

Because of that woman, his mood was ruined!

Why did he have to talk about Nathan’s birth mother at a time like this?

The thought of that woman instantly made the anger in his heart flare.

But in an instant, that anger was replaced by the image of Ella’s face as she was looking at him with passion. The anger in his heart was instantly replaced by a passion that forced him to curse, leaving Christian so frustrated before he decided to go to the bathroom.

Everyone in the house already knew that Ella had been dumped by Christian.

Christian seemed to have forgotten about it and never mentioned her name again. Nor had he ever set foot in the small house where Ella lived.

Nathan often visited Ella during the day. He hated the house, but he preferred to accompany Ella there during noon.

His father came home every day with a gloomy face. At the dinner table, Nathan didn’t dare say a word to Christian.

In the end, he could only complain to Ella. “Old woman, let me tell you something. Dad looked really scary these days. His face was so cold, that all the maids didn’t dare to speak, the same with the butler. I could only lower my head too.”

Seeing Nathan’s sad face, Ella could only gently stroke his head.

Right now, there were even more important things she needed to think about.

Where could she get her money if she was locked up in this place?

Christian would not want to pay her either.

Ella counted how much time had passed. She couldn’t stay here and waste her time. She’d better use this time to make money.

Ella tilted her head and asked, “Fat boy, do you remember that your father promised me a salary?”

Nathan shook his head firmly and gave Ella a suggestion. “Don’t discuss money matters with my dad. He will kill you!”

Ella couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Christian wouldn’t kill her, would he? Or maybe he was that cruel.

Seeing Ella who couldn’t believe his words, Nathan’s eyes widened slightly as he spoke excitedly, “Father is angry because of you. He must want to punish you now.”

“Actually, this is the first time I’ve seen anyone dare to make my father angry,” Nathan said as he gave Ella a thumbs up.

Ella couldn’t argue with Nathan’s words because they were true.

But Ella was really tired. She was tired of Christian always controlling her. She could never live freely, while Christian was doing the opposite.

Every day Ella felt restless, while Christian lived a quiet, good life.

Ella wouldn’t budge.

Nathan just sighed when he saw Ella’s stubborn face. “Old woman, go see my father and apologize. Otherwise, you will be stuck here forever.”

His words made Ella deep in thought.

She couldn’t stay here. Her mother’s house was still held by her father. Once Indri and Haikal got married, it would be too late.

The house would fall into Indri’s hands and Ella would never be able to get it again. Haikal too was like a cunning fox that was difficult to deal with. The man would definitely put forward various conditions that Ella would not be able to fulfill.

Therefore, Ella had to get it before the two got married.

If she couldn’t depend on Christian, that meant Ella had to depend on herself.

She knew that her father would surely sell the house at a very high price.

She could still sell all her jewelry. Plus, if she could work and raise money, she could definitely earn it.

After making up her mind, Ella suddenly stood up, surprising Nathan.

“Old woman, do you want to see my father?” His eyes shone brightly.

“No, I’m going back to work.”

Ella’s words made Nathan raise an eyebrow. He didn’t understand how Ella had come to that decision, but she had already packed up her things and was about to leave.

Nathan looked very confused by this situation.

“Old woman?” Nathan rushed after Ella and took her hand. “Are you leaving?”

Would Ella leave just like that?

“I’ll be back tomorrow.”
