Chapter 68: Let him roll!
"Ella, are you out of your mind? They dare treat you like this, and you’re still staying with them... What if something happens to you..."
Chloe strongly opposed Ella’s decision.
"Chloe is right. Your brother treats you this way, which shows he’s always been horrible to you. Ella, listen to us, move to my house. You can share a room with Chloe!" Charles urged softly.
"Why should my woman live at your house? If she’s moving, it will be to mine!" Eric chuckled lightly, his mischievous smile causing Chloe to quickly avert her gaze, cursing him inwardly for his charm.
"Mr. Nelson, Ella is only eighteen. Are you really suggesting she moves in with you?"
"Why not? The marriage law in Country S allows people to marry at eighteen," Eric replied with a playful smile. "What do you say, sweetheart?"
Ella shook her head. "I choose to stay with the Davis family. After this incident, they won’t dare make any moves against me. If anything happens, the suspicion will fall on them. Robert and Brianna are smart; they won’t let anything happen."
"But staying there long-term isn’t a solution," Eric said seriously, worried that Robert might discover Ella’s true parentage.
If Robert found out Ella wasn’t his biological daughter, he would stop at nothing to eliminate her. Now that Ella was sharp and capable, Robert would suspect she already knew the truth about her origins. His belief was simple: if he couldn’t have something, he would destroy it.
"Then I’ll stay temporarily until I achieve what I need to," Ella said, her eyes flickering with determination.
She could never forget the words Hannah had told her in her past life. Her birth mother had been poisoned by Brianna.
