Chapter 336: The Road to Revenge
Eric smirked playfully, "Mr. Scott, you still have the leisure to stroll around here? But then again, you’ve got money to burn, right? A few hundred million lost here and there wouldn’t bother you."
Mason sneered, "Eric, don’t get too cocky. This is only the beginning—just wait. One day, you’ll be begging me." His gaze fell briefly on Ella’s face, noticing her usual calm demeanor.
"Confidence is one thing, Mr. Scott," Eric quipped, clearly amused, "but all the confidence in the world won’t save you when every investment turns into a dead loss."
Eric was thoroughly enjoying himself. Mason had always meddled with Ella, but after Eric’s recent maneuver, Mason was now tied up with Bella, a perfect twist that had worked in Ella’s favor.
Bella’s faux-concerned voice chimed in, "Miss Davis, you should be cautious. The Carter Group was once grand and glamorous, but now that it’s fallen, someone might target you next!"
Ella met Bella’s gaze with a cool expression. "Thank you for your concern, Miss Rodriguez. But you might want to be careful yourself. That mouth of yours has a way of irritating people."
Bella’s smile froze briefly. "Oh, it’s true—one small word of concern, and some people can’t help but take offense."
"That’s true," Ella said, chuckling softly, "I sometimes feel like someone’s working against me, even though I’ve never done anything to them. But if it happens again, I’ll make sure they regret it, thick-skinned or not!"
Tension hung in the air as Ella’s light laughter faded.
Mason released Bella from his arm and remarked, "Ella, I hope there’s a day when you willingly come to my side."
"Shameless!" Eric laughed coldly. "Let’s go. No point dealing with dogs."
