fool

Chapter 37 

The silence on the other end of the phone lasted a long time. Finally, the man found his voice. 

“Is a fool really worth it the man asked. 

Losing two percentage points meant a month of wasted work for the Willow Group. It was a complete loss. And Ella wanted to sacrifice that just to seek justice for Jaden! 

“He’s a fool, but he’s also part of my family now. Besides, apart from being a bit slow, he’s a good man,” Ella said. 

“And what about Harry?” asked the man 

Ella said, “That’s in the past, Mr. White. There’s no need to bring it up. It’s quite embarrassing. I’m sorry about last time, Mr. White. You didn’t continue to make things difficult for me, which shows you’re decent. Can you give us just one month?” 

“Do as you please. I only care about getting my money, the man said. 

When the call ended, Jaden was alone in his room, unable to calm down. 

Did Ella really think he was a good man! He had never heard such a joke in his life. 

Moreover, she was trying to retrieve something for him. Ella was truly unpredictable, carrying someone else’s child while still defending him. This left Jaden’s mind in a mess. 

The next day, with the Denison Group pausing their actions, Rose brought Simon over 

She brought numerous items, all boxes filled with Jaden’s mother’s dowry. They weren’t particularly valuable, but they were his mother’s belongings, holding great significance to Jaden. 

Ella had Jaden check to see if anything was missing. After inspecting everything, Jaden noticed a pair of bracelets were missing. He pointed to the fair bracelet on Rose’s wrist and said, “Tland it over” 

Ella extended her hand, and Rose reluctantly removed the bracelet. 

Rose asked. “I brought everything. Is that enough? 

Ella Said, “These things were his to begin with. Just returning them in their owner” 

Rose asked. “And what more do you want? We’re family.” 

“My mother–in–law has passed away. What family are we? I want Simon to kneel, crawl like a dog, and bark to make my husband laugh. Then this maller will be over. Ella said. 

She still remembered what Simon had said at the banquet. Simon’s face darkened instantly 

Simon said, “What did you say? You wretched woman! 

As Simon was about to make a move, Jaden stepped in front of him, firmly grabbing his wrist and applying pressure 

Simon couldn’t break free and felt great pain, 

Simon said angrily, “You stupid man, let me go… 

But Jaden remained unmoved 

“You… Rose was anxious. 

Rose pleaded, “My terms are clear. Simon must crawl and bark to amuse my husband. Otherwise, this isn’t over, I can stop Marcus, or I can make things worse. The Willow Group will fight the Watson Group” 

“You’re going too far,” Rose said. 

Ella said coldly. “Am I? You went too far first. You took his mother’s belongings and bullied him because he was a fool and had no one to stand up for him. I’m only giving you a lesson, and you can’t handle it? I only want justice” 

“Making me bark like a dog is impossibler Simon said and felt humiliated, his face turning red with anger. 

“Sumon, there’s no one Rose said. 

else here, Why don’t you just do it? If your father knew, he’d side with her. When that happens, you’ll have even less dignity.”

Rose knew Frank well. If sacrificing a little dignity could achieve their goal, Frank would agree. If not, they would only make things worse. 

Simson bit his lips hard, full of reluctance. But in the end, he bent his knees, got on all fours, and crawled a few steps, imitating a dog. “Woof woof 

woof… 

He made the sound with difficulty, his fists clenched in humiliation. 

“Do you like it?” Ella looked at Jaden. 

There was an unreadable expression in Jaden’s eyes. He was unusually calm, leaving her unsure if he was happy or something else. 

1 like it Jaden said. 

Ella said, “Good, as long as you like it. We’ll never go back to that awful place 

“I don’t want to see them again.” Jaden saki. 

Ella said, “Alright, then we won’t. You can leave now.” 

Rose said, “Simon, let’s go…” 

Simon shouted, “Ella, you bitch, you’ll pay for this.. 

Simon left corsing, but Ella ignored him. 

Ella said, “Alright, take these things to the room, I’m going to the study..” 

As she way about to leave, a pair of strong arms encircled her tighuly, holling her with such force. She instinctively wanted to break free, but he held her even tighter. 

Jaden said, “Don’t move, let me hold you for a while! 

His voice was particularly soft, Jaden bent and buried his face in the crook of her neck. His cool breath tickled her neck, making her feel slightly itchy. 

“Actually, you don’t have to do all this His voice was slightly hoarse as he continued. Tve been getting by like this all these years.” 

Ella said. “That was then, now it’s different. As long as I can, I want you to be happy every day. If you feel bad about it, just provide me with emotional support. Just be with me and wait for me to eat together 

Jadeit didn’t need to do anything else, just stand obediently in front of her. To give her something to look forward to when she came home, so she wouldn’t be fighting alone anymore. 

Ella said, “You wouldn’t understand. Just go play” 

She ruffled his hair. Jaden watched her leave, his feelings complex. 

He thought, Ella, what should I do with you? Though he had initially disliked her, now his heart couldn’t harden towards her anymore. Despite her many annoying traits, he already changed his mind about her. 

Ella worked late until eleven at night, feeling exhausted. Just then, Finn brought some food, soups, and snacks. 

“Don’t overwork yourself,” Finn’s voice was as businesslike as ever. Standing beside her, he was always the perfect manager. 

Ella said, “It’s fine. I’m getting the hang of the company’s affairs. Although I’m not very proficient, In no longer in the dark. The first batch of goods 

is about to be released. Make sure everything is thoroughly inspected before shipment. There can be no mistakes” 

“Understood,” Finn said. 

“Alright, you can go home now. You did a great job.” Ella said. 

Suddenly, Finn looked out the window and said, “It’s snowing” 

Ella looked outside. It was indeed snowing, the first snowfall of the winter, and it was quite heavy 

“This is the first snow. They say people who are together on this day will be blessed, Finn said 

“Do you believe that?” Ella asked. 

Ella was surprised that Finn believed in such a cliché. Finn just smiled at ber.

Finn left first, and she followed, heading to the garage to get her car, but it wouldn’t start. She called for someone to repair it and went to the roadside to catch a taxi. Just then, her phone rang. It was Hazel calling. 

“What’s op?” Ella asked 

Hazel said, “Miss, when are you coming back? Jaden has been waiting for you to ear. He refuses to eat first, being incredibly stubborn.” 

“Give the phone to him,” Ella said. 

“You’re waiting for me to car?” Ella asked Jaden. 

“Yes,” he replied. 

Ella said, “I’ll be home in about forty minutes. Have something to tide you over if you’re hungry. Wait for me. Um…” 

Suddenly, there was a burst of noise on the other end of the line. The phone seemed to be heavily thrown to 

to the 

ground.
