95 I Hate Liars
“Isabella, don’t you want that house anymore? If you stay this stupid, don’t blame me for being cruel. You’ve destroyed your mother’s legacy. You buried it with your own two hands!”
Every word that came out of Haikal’s mouth pierced Ella’s heart.
Her mother’s legacy was truly precious. How could Ella not want it? But no matter what, Ella wouldn’t go back to this bastard in front of her, the man who killed her son!
She felt hurt, but the smile on her lips did not change.
“First of all, please stop calling me Isabella,” Ella’s eyes were sharp as she said that. She was sick of hearing her name out of Haikal’s lips. She felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
“Secondly, you and my sister are not married. Do you know what that means?” She continued.
Ella’s eyes stared fixedly at Haikal. “That means the house still belongs to the Maheswara Family. Even if Indri wants it, she has no right to touch it!”
Her tone was firm as she said it.
What’s the point of being Haikal’s mistress? With Christian’s help, Ella could get the house. She just needed to find a way to persuade Christian to help her get the house back.
.....
This jerk in front of her was nothing!
All the guests and waiters in the cafe were very scared and looked at the two of them in panic. They were afraid there would be a commotion there.
However, not a single person dared to interrupt them.
It could be seen from the way they spoke and the way they carried themselves that they were both from the upper class. Plus, they mentioned about the Maheswara Family, a family that was quite feared in the city.

“You will regret it!” He got up and walked towards the door.
But before he could get out, Ella called him again.
Haikal looked a little hopeful, hoping that Ella would change her mind. Maybe Ella had regretted her decision before they had even parted.
However, what Ella said afterwards shattered Haikal’s hopes.
“Haikal ...” She pointed at the cappuccino on the table, a glass that Haikal had not touched at all. “You haven’t paid for it.”
Haikal’s face became even more gloomy. He walked over to the cashier and tossed a few hundred thousand notes and left.
“Let’s see later! I will never forgive you!”
“I won’t forgive you either. You and the others...” Ella said those words in a low voice. Only she could hear it and Haikal knew nothing.
After Haikal left, Ella sat quietly and finished her black coffee.
This black coffee was very expensive and she didn’t want to waste it.
Every bitter taste on her tongue made Ella remember how much suffering she felt. This bitter taste was not worth any of that.
Ella used to hate bitter taste but now was used to it.
She was used to swallowing bitterness, because nothing was more bitter than her life.
Once out of the café, Ella took a deep breath. She stretched her body and waited at a bus stop.
But right now, at Christian’s house, Nathan was looking at his father who was cold like an air conditioner. He didn’t dare say anything.
He thought his father would go straight to the old woman’s place. Was his father angry about not being able to find the old woman?
After thinking about it for a while, Nathan didn’t understand why his father was this angry. Finally, he looked at the butler, looking for an answer.
The butler lowered his head, showing that he didn’t know why either.
He felt that Nathan shouldn’t have called Christian. But now it’s all happened. And this incident made everyone unhappy.
Plus, he felt that Ella would be very unlucky when she got home.
After waiting for half an hour, Ella came into the house with a bag in her hand.
Seeing the situation before her, she was taken aback for a moment, but then reacted immediately.
“Christian, you came home so early today?” She walked over to Christian with a happy smile in her eyes.
Christian sat on the sofa with a cold face, but not as usual. He has always been cold, but his silence today shows that he is really angry.
Something happened and Ella didn’t understand what.
Ella doesn’t get any response from Christian. She turned to Nathan and quietly asked the boy what had happened.
Nathan just looked away guiltily. If he hadn’t called his father, he wouldn’t have been this angry.
But this was all the old woman’s fault. If she hadn’t gone out to meet another man, he wouldn’t have called his father!
Ella went on a date with another man!
The moment he thought about that, the guilt in his heart immediately faded. Nathan’s little face looked somber. He also looked at Ella with a displeased look.
Ella felt very confused. She didn’t understand what she did to make Christian and Nathan angry with her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFinally, she turned to the butler in the room and decided to seek an answer from him.
The butler just shook his head slightly, showing that the situation was very bad.
It made Ella feel scared. She wanted to run away from there.
But before she could escape, Christian asked, “Where did you go?”
His tone made Ella tremble as if her body had been tossed into the north pole.
“I went to a café to meet Haikal.”
Ella was telling the truth and just as she was about to explain their meeting, Christian caught her wrist. He grabbed her hand hard, causing Ella to wince in pain.
But she wouldn’t show it in front of Christian.
“I underestimated you. What did he give you?” Christian said it coldly.
“I...”
“And what good is a woman like you?” Christian asked grimly.
An ironic smile appeared on the corners of his lips. He grabbed Ella’s hand and released it suddenly, making her stagger.
Ella couldn’t stabilize her body so she fell to the floor. Accidentally, her head hit the sharp edge of the coffee table.
“What-”
Ella wanted to ask what made Christian this angry. She hadn’t even gotten a chance to explain their meeting earlier.
Her hand went up to grip the injured part of her head, but Christian pulled it back again. “Do you know the consequences of betraying me?”
“I don’t know...”
Ella shook her head. Her forehead ached, causing tears to well up in her eyes. But she held back and didn’t let her tears fall.
“I hate liars the most!”
