Chapter 236: Never Trust
Although Ella had blocked and deleted him, he didn’t bother to reach out to her again, knowing there would be plenty of opportunities to cross paths in the future.
That afternoon, after school, Eric came to pick up Ella, telling her they were going to have dinner at the Nelson Group Hotel.
But just as Ella sat down, Eric received a call from James.
"I’ve reserved a table at Sapphire Shores Tavern, room 206. Come over, I have a secret about your mother to tell you."
James hung up immediately, leaving no room for Eric to argue or question him.
"James says he has a secret to tell me and wants me to meet him at Sapphire Shores Tavern. Shall we go together?"
Ella nodded quickly, "Yes, let’s go together!"
What kind of trick was James trying to pull this time?
Ella had a deep disdain for both the Nelson family and the people from Carter Group. All she ever really wanted was a quiet, peaceful life. After all, Grandma Carter had long passed away, her mother’s matters were resolved, and only Hannah remained missing.
But Ella believed that one day, Hannah would return to S City.
That day would come when Ella had grown powerful enough, but by then, she would have grown in other ways, too.
