Chapter 160: The Past Unveiled
Brandon was really desperate, willing to go to such extremes just to win her favor, even if it meant compromising himself. Ella was both disgusted and amused by his actions. With a light laugh, she said, "Brandon, that’s enough. I don’t want your so-called ’gift.’ Besides, Hannah’s reputation is already in shambles. I have no interest in bringing her down further."
With that, she stepped around Brandon and strode downstairs without looking back.
"Ella..." Brandon called out, clearly flustered. He had gone all out, shamelessly offering something so incriminating, yet she wasn’t even tempted in the slightest.
At that moment, a lanky boy appeared on the stairs below, taller than Ella. He glanced curiously at Brandon, who was chasing after her.
Realizing he couldn’t pursue her any further, Brandon stopped in his tracks as Ella quickly descended the stairs and headed toward the back hill.
As she jogged towards the hill, she soon spotted Eric’s assistant, Mark, along with a few burly men dressed in black, waiting at the base.
"Miss Davis, Mr. Nelson is waiting for you in the pavilion up ahead," Mark informed her with a polite nod.
Ella smiled and nodded back, quickly making her way up the hill.
The pavilion wasn’t far, and within a few minutes, she reached it. The sight that greeted her made her stop in her tracks, staring in disbelief. Under the tree in front of the pavilion, a round table was set up, covered with all of her favorite dishes!
Ella couldn’t believe her eyes as she looked at the man who was smiling warmly at her.
Eric’s face was full of tenderness, his eyes gleaming like colorful stones, radiating a mesmerizing light. His lips curved into a seductive, teasing smile that made Ella blush.
