Chapter 154
Ella waited for a while and finally saw Jaden.
The atmosphere in the car was tense. Hank glanced at her once, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
She looked at Jaden in the back seat. Jaden’s expression was grim.
Ella couldn’t help but stifle a laugh. She knew Jaden was definitely jealous, but he liked to play the pretentious act.
He clearly cared but tried to appear magnanimous.
Since he was already putting on an act, he still intentionally showed his dissatisfaction, hoping she would take the initiative to say she wouldn’t see Chase anymore.
Jaden tried hard to hold his temper in, but his mood was so down that his mind was almost a mess.
Ella knew exactly what Jaden wanted, but she continued to play dumb.
Ella said, “I’m so tired. Let’s hurry home. I want to get a good night’s sleep.”
“Ms. Willow, Mr. Watson hasn’t t eaten yet,” Hank said.
“Really? Well, he must be very hungry by now. Fortunately, I’ve already eaten. Otherwise, I’d have nightmares if I went to bed hungry.”
Hearing this, Jaden clenched his fists silently.
He was clearly upset.
Once home, she immediately went upstairs to her room to rest.
Jaden did not come to find her.
After she finished freshening up, she went downstairs and asked, “Has Jaden eaten?”
The servant said, “No, he went to the study.”
“Seriously? Is he really being so stubborn? Men need to be pampered too. It’s so troublesome.”
She didn’t know how to cook. She often went to beauty salons, taking care of her skin to the extent of even treating her fingertips meticulously.
Her ten fingers were pretty tender and fair, but now she was actually cooking.
She was boiling water and planning to make some pasta to deal with the situation.
While waiting for the water to boil, she idly browsed her phone and saw some news.
Chase had been in a car accident, He had a fractured lower leg but was not in life–threatening danger and wouldn’t be left with However, it would take a few months to heal, and he would need to stay in the hospital for a good recovery.

disabilities.
At that moment, the water boiled, and the pot started bubbling.
Ella snapped back to reality, opened the pot lid, and didn’t realize it was hot.
The moment her fingers touched it, she pulled away.
Her fingertips turned red and soon developed a blister.
Her emotions were in turmoil, and her stomach felt tense.
Ella quickly turned off the heat and immediately called Chase.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.
She persisted in calling until Kevin picked up.

Ella asked, “How is Chase now?”
Kevin said, “He’s not dead. Are you unhappy about that?”
“What do you mean?”
She sensed Kevin’s anger and was confused.

Kevin said, “Do you think this is just an ordinary accident? It was clearly intentional. In Ardbert City, besides your man, I can’t think of anyone else who would do this. Chase went to see you today, and he had an accident on his way back. He promised he wouldn’t change your contract. But after this cooperation, I hope we will have no further contact.
“I only have one son. Even if he’s useless, he’s still the only one. Ms. Willow, please show some mercy and keep your distance from him.”
After saying this, Kevin hung up.
Ella was stunned and, after a moment of calm reflection, called back.
Kevin answered impatiently, “Ms. Willow, do you still have something to discuss?”
“This matter should not be Jaden’s doing. You need to clarify. If you suspect him, then provide evidence. Anyone can make baseless accusations. Suspicions are one thing, and the truth is another. You can’t just
by whatever you want.
Ella was also angry. She had always been polite to Kevin before, both out of a desire to avoid offending him and out of respect for him as Chase’s
father.
But now he was accusing Jaden based on mere suspicion, which wasn’t fair.
Kevin was cornered. He had indeed found some clues but had no concrete evidence.
Kevin said, “Since you don’t believe me, then forget it. We have nothing more to discuss. From now on, we’ll each stay out of each other’s affairs.”
Ella said, “Be clear. If you say it’s Jaden, then prove it. Don’t make irresponsible accusations. Don’t hang up.”
Kevin hung up, and Ella, enraged, called back only to find the phone turned off.
She felt like a helpless child, deeply aggrieved.
She felt sorry for Jaden.
She believed Jaden might have his temper, but he wouldn’t go so far as to create an accident.
She stomped upstairs, not even bothering to knock before pushing open the study door.
Her eyes were red, and she was out of breath.
Ella said, “Chase had an accident. It wasn’t you, was it? His father accused you.”
She stepped forward, grabbing Jaden’s wrist, trying to drag him to the hospital.
But Jaden remained motionless.
No matter how hard she pulled, he wouldn’t budge.
She looked at him suspiciously and asked, “Why aren’t you moving?”
“It was me. He was true,” Jaden said.
This revelation hit Ella like a thunderclap.
Ella didn’t expect him to actually admit it so openly, without any attempt to hide it.
Now he wasn’t even pretending to maintain peace, not even bothering with lies.
“Why?” she asked tremulously, her voice breaking.
Jaden said, “This is a lesson. To make him stop disturbing you in the future,”

“So, you’re still angry today. I asked you. If you didn’t want to, I wouldn’t have met him,” Ella said.
“But you wanted to meet him,” Jaden said.
Ella trembled with rage at his response.
She stepped forward and slapped him. A clear handprint appeared on Jaden’s cheek.
“Since I wanted to, why did you hurt him?” Ella said.
Jaden said, “You can be unreasonable, but he can’t. I can indulge you, but I can’t indulge him.”
“You indulge me?” Ella slapped him again.

This time, Jaden firmly grasped her wrist.
Jaden said, “Ella, enough. I said that I could overlook anything, but not this. You’ve betrayed me once already. I can’t tolerate it a second time. Not killing Chase is already showing leniency. So don’t push me.”
Ella wanted to laugh upon hearing this.
She trembled violently, resembling both crying and laughing.
It turned out that Jaden was indeed behind it. She had argued with Kevin, tirelessly defending him.
It was her fault Chase was hurt. This was just a warning. Next time could be life–threatening.
She almost believed that Jaden had changed and learned to respect others. But now it seemed it was all an act, all a facade he put up to deceive her.
At his core, he had never changed.
He was still the same domineering person.
Ella said, “Jaden, you’re a lunatic, stubborn and unrepentant.”
Jaden said, “You’re heartbroken, aren’t you?”

Jaden’s eyes narrowed dangerously, his fists clenched tightly, afraid of losing control and harming her.
Ella said, “You’ve always suspected this child is his, haven’t you?”
Jaden said, “Isn’t it? If it’s not his, who else could it be?”
“Yes, it’s his. Are you satisfied now? I just wanted to have a child with him, and let me tell you, this will be the only child I have in my lifetime. If you insist on staying with me, I won’t have any more children with you and won’t allow you to have any illegitimate children, Think carefully.”
