Chapter 148
Hank didn’t dare to breathe too loudly.
Jaden said. “If he dies, Ella’s heart will return to me, don’t you think?”
Hank didn’t dare to answer.
Jaden’s thoughts were becoming increasingly terrifying. He was almost losing his mind over this woman.
“Speak.” Jaden cast a cold glance at him.
Hank said, “Sir, do you remember why Ms. Willow was so angry with you before it was because you kept hiding things from her. If you harm Chase this time and manage to keep it a secret, everything will be fine. But if the truth comes out, or even if there’s no solid evidence, just the mere fact that something happens to Chase will make her suspicious of you. At that point, there would be no possibility for you and Ms. Willow to be together!”
As soon as Hank finished speaking, Jaden looked dejected and asked, “Then what should I do to make her fall in love with me, to make her completely devoted to me?”
Jaden nearly shouted, “What do I need to do to can even a small amount of her love? I don’t ask for much, just that for the rest of our lives, she keeps me in her heart and she can talk to me, smile at me, and show some concern when I leave home. She’s so stingy. She won’t even pretend to show me any affection.
Hank said, “Sir, if it’s you feel painful, why not just end things? That w
way, both of you might feel a little better.”
“Shut up. Don’t ever say that again. She will belong to me for the rest of her life, and she’s not going anywhere”
Hank didn’t dare to continue persuading him.
Having Ella by his side while her heart wasn’t with him was painful for Jaden. But letting her go might be even more unbearable for him.
Even if Ella suffered day and night, she would have to endure it by his side.
Ella was in
was in a good mood today and decided to pay a visit to the Wale family. She chose two bodyguards and asked Jenny to come along.
The Wale family had no place to stay and was now living under a bridge.
The weather had been cold and damp, causing Martha’s rheumatism to flare up. She had been groaning in
in pain.
Ella didn’t see Eugene, probably because he was already on the operating table donating his organs.
The once–plump family members were now all gaunt. They wore tattered clothes, looking like beggars, except for Brandon’s wife, who was still dressed somewhat decently.
This puzzled Ella, and as she was trying to figure it out, she saw a middle–aged man sneaking up and quickly taking Brandon’s wife by the hand, leading her away from the bridge,
was crying and resisting, but when she didn’t comply, Brandon slapped her.
The woman was cry
Suddenly, Ella thought of a possibility. Brandon was forcing his wife to prostitute herself.
She quickly had her bodyguards intervene and stop the two of them.
When the woman saw Ella, she looked at Ella as if she were her savior. She suddenly threw herself at Elb’s feet, begging repeatedly.
Brandon’s wife said, “Please save me! Brandon is not human. He’s forcing me to sleep with different men. He keeps all the money, doesn’t give me a single penny, and beats and curses me, not even giving me anything to eat. They’ve even sold my daughter, and I haven’t seen a single cent of that money.
Ella asked. “Now you see what kind of scumbag he is?”
The woman said, “I see it clearly now. I was so foolish. With so many men in the world, how did I end up with him? But my ID and household registration are with him. Without them, I can’t go anywhere. They’ve threatened me, saying that if I dare to go to the police, they’ll kill me and dump me in the river where no one will ever find me
Ella clenched her fists in anger. She despised men who bullied women the most.
Ella said, “Jenny, call a cab and take her to the hospital for a check–up. Then settle her down. In a couple of days, I’ll buy her a train ticket and send her back home.”
The woman said. “Thank you. You’re my savior. But what about my daughter..
Despite everything, the woman still had some humanity left and was concerned about her child.
Ella said. “She’s doing well now. Do you want to see her?
“No.
The woman cried bitterly and said, Tm a useless mother. I can’t protect her. Now that she’s living a bener life, she doesn’t need to suffer with me anymore. Let it be… It’s best if she forgets about us so she can grow up well”
The woman left in tears
The man who had been caught was trembling with fear, knowing he was involved in illegal activities,
Ella said. “Now go to that family, get the money back, and then get lost as far as you can.”
The man said. “Yes”
The bridge wasn’t far from here, and the man quickly ran over. Soon, the sound of arguing could be heard from under the bridge, along with Manha’s wailing.
Brandon tried to resolve the situation with his fists, but he was so weak from hunger that he had no strength left. The other man, being an adult as well, was no less strong than him
Brandon was soon knocked to the ground, and the money was taken from him.
Brandon and Martha chased after the man in embarrassment, only to find Ella standing there
At the sight of her, Brandon trembled all over and instinctively stepped back. Martha, however, took two steps forward and began cursing Ella, calling her all sorts of names.
“Why are you here?” Brandon asked, shaking.
Ella said, “I came to see if you’ve come to a decision yet. Who’s going to pil?
Brandon said. “You vicious woman, you’re truly cruel! What did the Wale family ever do to you to deserve such ruthless treatment”
“Cruel! Eugene was winning money at first. If he hadn’t been greedy, your debts would have been cleared long ago”
“How do you know that? Could it be that you… Realizing something, Brandon looked at her with even more fear.
Ti only here for one answer today. Who’s going to jail? If you don’t make a decision, don’t blame me for sending all three of you to prison, Ella said leisurely.
Jaden’s methods might be sinister, but she had to admit they were very effective against these despicable people, especially when selfish individuals like them had to choose someone to sacrifice.
Brandon said, “Grandma… I’m still young. The Wale family doesn’t have a male descendant yet. I can’t go to jaal
Martha asked. Then who will go!”
“Let my dad go. His health is poor, and he won’t be able to earn any more money and will likely need medication to stay alive. We don’t have that kind of money. We might as well send him to jail and let the prison guards take care of him”
“Will they take care of him? It’s a prison.
Brandon said, “What other choice do we have now? Anyway, I can’t go. Grandma, are you willing to go to jail?”
Martha said. “I can’t go either. I still have to help you raise your kids”
Martha was already eighty years old. Although she was still spry and had all her teeth, taking care of kids would be a real challenge for her.
But she didn’t want to go to jail either. She wanted to live freely. She still hoped Brandon would take care of her in her old.
age.
Though her son was close to her, he was practically useless now after donating so many organs. She wasn’t about to spend her twilight years caring
for him.
So Martha quickly agreed with Brandon, sending Eugene to jail and letting the prison guards take care of him
They didn’t struggle with the decision for long, and while Eugene was still away, they had already made up their minds.
“My son will go” Martha said.
Ella said, “Fine, then let it be him Have him torn himself in.”
“You vicious woman, you’re truly vicious… Martha continued cursing.
Ella stared at her coldly and said, “Say one more word, and I might change my mind”
Brandon immediately covered his grandmother’s mouth and nose, nearly suffocating her.
Ella’s mood improved, and she took the opportunity to retrieve Brandon’s wife’s documents before leaving.
Jenny still fell unsatisfied and said, “Are we just going to let them off the hook? One person takes the fall, but what about the other two?”
Ella said, “Don’t worry, Eugene won’t be that obedient. He’s still hoping Brandon will take care of him in his later years. How could he be willing to
