Chapter 492: Blaming Him
At that moment, the usually composed and rational Ella completely lost her calm and composure.
She picked up Eric’s phone and answered Aurora’s call. The melodious voice on the other end came through.
"Mr. Nelson... I beg you, for my sake, please give my cousin another chance! Kimi might be a liar sometimes, but he’s a good kid... Mr. Nelson, I’m willing to forfeit a year’s share of my earnings if it means you’ll forgive him!"
Hearing the pleading tone, Ella let out a cold laugh. "Miss Wilson, your words are laughable. If he were such a ’good kid,’ he wouldn’t have conspired with his mother to bully my Elias!"
Aurora was stunned, not expecting Mrs. Nelson to answer the call. She panicked instantly. "Mrs. Nelson... Kimi and his mother know they were wrong. Please, just this once... I don’t care about my profits or anything else!"
Ella’s eyes flashed with icy resolve.
Even though she suspected Aurora might be innocent, she couldn’t completely rule out her involvement. "Miss Wilson, let’s set that aside for now. I have to ask—did someone put you up to calling Mr. Nelson just now?"
"No, no one! I called on my own..." Aurora’s voice faltered.
"I hope you’re not hiding anything, Miss Wilson. My son, Elias, was just kidnapped, and at that critical moment, Mr. Nelson was too preoccupied chatting with you to notice! Miss Wilson, if you’re lying to me, won’t your conscience bother you?" Ella’s voice rang out sharply, trembling with fury and desperation.
Elias’s abduction had completely unraveled her. After all, he was her son—how could she not be heartbroken and terrified?
"What? Elias... Elias was kidnapped? Mrs. Nelson, I swear, I have nothing to do with it! I only called because my aunt, Mrs. Wilson, begged me to intervene. This kidnapping... it has nothing to do with me!" Aurora exclaimed in alarm.
