There was a bang. Ella hurried too much and ran straight into the wall.
“I’m leaving now!” Ella said.
She finally managed to leave the room, her head swollen from the collision, and her knees scraped
She looked at her aching hand and felt scared. She just hit a big shot.
What should she do now!
“Ms. Willow, what happened to you?” Hank asked.
“Um… Has anyone hit your boss?” Ella asked.
“Who dares to hit my boss? Are they tired of living? Hank asked with a frown.
“Oh no… I’ll come back to visit in a while. I leave now.” She left in a huff
She’d better wait until Marcus calms down before trying again.
It was not all her fault. He made the first move, and she couldn’t help slapping him.
Hank watched her fleeing figure and immediately went inside
He turned on the light and found Jaden touching his swollen face, lost in thought.
The moment he realized it was Ella, Jaden was unexpectedly happy.
In that instant, Jaden knew he was finished. He seemed to have fallen for Ella, even though he despised her so much!
He thought she was shameless for having another man’s child and was just eye candy. Yet, despite his initial judgment, he found himself attracted to
Ell
“Sir, are you alright?” Hank asked worriedly, “Did Ms. Willow do this? How could she hit so hard?”
Jaden’s face bore a clear slap mark, and one could almost sketch Ella’s petite fingers.
Tim’fine, just bring some ice,” Jaden said.
Do you still need another woman! We’ve found a few more,” Hank said.
“No need,” Jaden said, pinching his brow in frustration
So what if he liked Ella? It must be a short–term physical attraction between a man and a woman. The Willow Gr

one could stop his plans, especially useless Women
Ella was scared for several days and didn’t dare to contact Marcus proactively,
She hinted through Hank, but it seemed that Marcus didn’t take her seriously,
Ella sighed in relief and prepared some gifts for Hank to pass on
And so, time passed day by day, and soon the deadline was up-
Grace was afraid that Ella wouldn’t show up, so she specially waited for her at her doorstep
When Grace tries to force me into the car to go downtown, you two pretend to resist a bit. Just make it look convincing. Don’t overdo it. Cot it? Ella said.
“Alright, Miss, we know how to handle it,” Hazel said and made an OK gesture.
Even in acting, she was serious,
Ella began to act, refusing to get into the car.
Grace anticipated this and brought along some strong women to forcibly throw Ella into the car.
Chapter 50
“Where are you taking Miss Ella This is kidnapping! I’ll call the police!” Hazel shouted,
In the end, reluctantly, they let Grace take Ella away, along with Jaden who voluntarily got in
He followed to prevent Grace from going too far and hurting the child in Ella’s belly.
So, he stayed close throughout, shielding her from Grace’s rough actions.
Ella asked, “Grace, what are you doing, kidnapping!”
“Thy just afraid some people won’t admit defeat Grace smirked coldly.
The more scared Ella was, the more satisfied Grace felt.

the car.
“Stop pretending. Ell. I’ve invited the media and witnesses from that day. From now on, you will live with shame for the rest of your life. You’ll never be able to turn your life around”
“Ella, if you dare to challenge me, you’re still green. This time, I’ll make you understand fear. From now on, whenever you see me, you’ll keep your diance Grace said.
“Grace, let me out of the car. I ma
off, Ella said.
Grace ignored her, driving the car straight to the commercial building in the city center
Grace even rented an LED screen to continuously play back the agreement between her and Ella from that day.
The large square was soon crowded with people.
Ella spotted Harry, his malicious gaze shifting between her and Jaden as if wanting to deal with them.
This petty man was out for revenge for getting slapped that day.
Onlookers pointed and gossiped.
“This woman is love–sick in Arbert City! She’s thrown away all dignity for a man!”
“This is going to be quite a show. Ella is definirely doomed She overreached herself. She boasted before the deal was even settled, and now she’s facing total humiliation
“Is she really that foolish? She’s been set up, yet she walked right into their trap. Poor thing!”
Are
mistresses really this rampant these days?”
Some condemned Ella
as stupid, while others condemned, Grace, the mistress, as wicked.
Grace’s face was grin. She knew she would have lived with being scolded as a mistress for the rest of her life.
She had already come this far, and she would make the same choice again if she were given a second chance.
Now, she would drag Ella down with her.
Grace said, “Ella, you lost fair and square. You are the heiress of the Willow Group. Are you going to go bark on your word?”
Ella said, “Grace, give me a chance. Don’t go too far, or you’ll regret it
“Give me a chance?” Grace burst into laughter, as if she had heard the world’s biggest joke
Grace said, “Ella, you’re finished. Even now, you’re still pretending? If you beg me, admit that you’re inferior to me, and that Harry made the right choire being with me, I might consider making things a bit less humiliating for you.”
She glanced at Harry, ignoring Grace, and said, “Harry, are you sure you just let Grace have her way!”
Harry’s eyes lingered on Ella, especially on her belly.
Grace gritted her teeth. She knew exactly what Harry was thinking.
He leaned in closer, and Jaden immediately stepped in front of Ella.
Harry’s gaze tumed even more hostile,
He said in a low voice, “Ella, if you get rid of the child, I might help your

Ella said..
“Dream on. I’m keeping this child?” E
She deliberately patted her belly, infuriating Harry.
“You. You just wait!” Harry said and stormed off.
Grace immediately circled Harry’s am, staring challengingly at Elb.
Just then, a car pulled up, and Jenny got out of the car.
“Look, Lucia is here!” someone in the crowd cheered.
Lucia, a Veilish designer and winner of the prestigious design award, had brought honor to the country.
Jenny smiled and nodded at passersby, utterly unfazed.
She didn’t even spare a glance at Ella, walking straight toward Grace
“Mrs. Rhys, are you ready to sign the contract here?” Jenny said.
“Of course, I’ve invited the media. It’s our honor that we can work with you,” Grace std
“It’s my honor tool” Jenny said with a smile, but her smile made Grace’s scalp tingle.
That smile seemed to mock Jaden
Just then, Ella stepped forward and said, “Ms. Ford, aren’t you considering me! I can match whatever the Rhys Group is offering. Are you sure you don’t want to rethink it?”
“No, I won’t consider it. Sorry! Jenny said.
With that statement, Ella’s defeat was sealed.
Everyone watched with amusement, cagerly anticipating Ella’s humiliation.
