Chapter 201
A group of people jogged back to their seats, chattering excitedly. “Oh my god, she’s truly beautiful. I went up close to see her, and her face was flawless. I’ve never seen anyone with such tender skin.”
“What a stunning face. I’m not sure if anyone else will be obsessed with her, but I already amt Once I’m rich, I’ll buy the clothes she designs. She’s like a walking advertisement for her brand?”
“And she seems to have a good temper, not as irritable as the rumors say.”
That’s because you didn’t see her online battles. Still, she only took on those who deserved it, with witty remarks. She’s both capable and beautiful
1 love her so much“”
I love her too. She’s my dream girl!”
“Look at you. Don’t even think about it. You will never be a match for her
They did not notice that there was someone beside them, who listened patiently and smiled in satisfaction.
Yale gave a passionate speech on the stage, stimulating the emotions of the people below the stage. Ella expressed that it was well done. They probably did not need to have on–campus recruitment because many people would be eager to submit their resumes immediately.
After the speech, it was a more interesting masked ball. Ella was not interested in it. She wanted to go back earlier, but when she reached the car door, she was stopped by Yale.
“You’re already here. Why do you act like you just came to complete a mission!”
“It’s to complete a mission. Ella shrugged
“Have fun. You have nothing to do after you get home
*No. I’m going back to be with my liute boyfriend-
As for her boyfriend’s name, she didn’t even know it. In any case, it was just a cover.
Yale looked a bit uneasy. “No, we’re here for the on–campus recruitment today, How can you back out now? The masked ball later will be very interesting, with many performances. Change your clothes and enjoy yourself. I’ll wait for you at the music hall!”
Yale hurriedly shoved something into Ella’s hands before leaving. It was an ordinary school uniform–clearly a high school uniform because there was no such thing in the university. There was a fox mask placed on top of it,
Ella sighed. Since she was already here, she might as well have some fun. After all, she was surrounded by energetic youths.
Ella found a restroom and changed into the school uniform. She looked at herself in the mirror and felt that the makeup didn’t quite match the outfit. She tied her hair up high and wiped off the makeup, revealing her fair and clean face. Feeling more comfortable, she put on the fox mask and walked out.
Ella could finally shed her disguise in front of others. Dressed like this, no one would recognize her. Like an agile kitten, she weaved through the crowd, sampling various treats and enjoying the festivities.
The food at the ball was naturally not as delicious as the meals she was used to at home. However, Ella enjoyed the experience of feeling young again.
When Jenny wasn’t overseas as an exchange student, the two of them often went to the canteen. They complained about the terrible cooking, but after graduation, she still missed its unique taste. Now, she finally felt satisfied.
Yale saw this scene not far away and smiled comfortably, thinking that Ella was quite cute to be herself once in a while.
After eating and drinking her fill, Ella left the music hall and walked around, Ardbert University didn’t change much. The hill behind the campus. was still a romantic spot for lovers. As she walked, she encountered several young couples, feeling it was so good to be caught up in the simple, hormone–driven allure of youth without any schemes,
After leaving the hill, Ella came to an old street. Once bustling and thriving, it was now a bit bleak due to recent plans to expand the campus, which meant the land was slated for demolition.
Ella had not been updated about the changes. When she arrived, she realized that her favorite stall was no longer there. She walked through the area disappointedly, finding that there was not a single resident or snack stall left.
Ella sighed and was about to walk back when she missed a step and fell into a large plt. Her body was badly bruised and she gasped in pain, back of her head throbbing intensely.
Ella thought, “Damn it, how could there be such a huge pit here! There was not a single safety sign around?

“Help
Ella shouted for help, but no one responded. Even the wind outside howled more freely.
phone and felt it under her body. It was already broken and she could not turn it on.
She quickly reached for her p
“Help, is there anyone here? I am in the pit. Help Ella shouted until her throat was hoarse. She curled up into a ball.
It was only March now, and it was the coldest time of spring. Ella shivered as the minutes ticked by. She curled into a ball, trying to keep warm in the frigid air.
As Ella began to lose consciousness, one thought persisted through her mind. Once she was rescued, she would sue the developer until he went bankrupt.
Ella didn’t know how long it had passed when she felt a sudden warmth around her. Struggling to open her eyes, she realized someone was holding her tightly
She thought. “Was she saved?”
Ella struggled to see the savior’s face but only glimpsed a fox mask. It was her own mask. Confused and weakened, she wondered if this not want her to see his face.
“Who are you. Your aura is so familiar. Have we met somewhere before?”
The person holding her staggered at her reaction, said nothing, and carefully lifted her out of the pit. Then he just made a call.
Ella could no longer open her eyes but heard the hoarse voice. She remembered that no one she knew spoke with such a rasp. She thought, ‘Did a stranger save me?”
person did
“I made an emergency call. Someone’s coming to help you soon,” the voice said, With that, he draped his coat over her and prepared to leave. Ella’s heart raced with anxiety as she reached out, trying to grab the man’s ma
‘s mask to see who he was,
As the mask was pulled off, the man panicked, quickly retreating and covering his face with one hand. He seemed to be deliberately hiding something
Ella struggled to see his face, but the cold and dizziness overwhelmed her. Unable to stay awake any longer, she succumbed and fainted completely. The man, panicked, got into the car and sighed with relief as someone approached from the dark. After they left, he slowly drove away.
“Sir, are we going back!”
“To the hospital.”
The car stopped outside the hospital, and the back window lowered slowly, revealing a thin outline. It was Jaden
However, Jaden had a lens on his left eye–a single, dark frame resting on the bridge of his nose. The lens was so dark that his pupil was obscured. Hank asked around. He returned from the hospital and reported, “Sir, Ms. Willow is fine. She just got a fright and caught a cold. She’ll be okay after some medicine and rest
Jaden nodded and made a gesture, which Hank understood as a signal to return.
Ever since Jaden had a problem with his voice, he did not like to communicate.
Hank looked at Jaden, whose face was beyond all recognition, and felt sorry for him. The past three years had been too hard for Jaden. Jaden returned to his cold, dark residence. The house was devoid of lights and servants, its silence making it feel like a haunted p
place.
Jaden, familiar with the place, used the moonlight streaming in through the window to navigate to his room. Standing in front of the huge French window, the cold glass reflected his appearance.
He slowly removed the lens, revealing crisscrossing scars. His handsome look had changed drastically as he had lost one eye. He feared that Ella would see him in such a condition.
