Chapter 36
Ella didn’t seem to care if Jaden got upset and was always talking about the baby. She was certain it’d be a boy.
Boys or girls, Grandpa will love them all 1 just hope for a healthy baby so you don’t suffer,” Devin said.
Ella asked, “Grandpa, don’t you want a great–grandson?”
“No, I just want you to suffer less. Boy or girl, it doesn’t matter, Devin replied.
Ella asked, “Grandpa, when Mom was pregnant with me, didn’t you mind that I was a girl?”
Devin said, “Mind? Not at all. You’re so wonderful. Boys can’t be as cute and thoughtful as you are
Ella’s eyes welled up with tears. Her mom had struggled with infertilay and went through several rounds of IVE, suffering a lot. Her father, distressed by this, didn’t want to continue and decided to let nature take its course, even considering adoption from distant relatives if they couldn’t
conceive
Devin had always been open–minded and fully supported them without a word of complaint
After Ella was born, Devin immediately had her father undergo a vasectomy to spare her mother further suffering.
Ella to be happy
He had always been proud of Ella, never stingy with his praise, regardless of her gender or achievements. His only wish was for E
and true to herself.
“Grandpa. She bugged Devin tightly, unable to hold back her tears.
“Still like a child, always crying. Hey, why haven‘ you said anything? Is Ella giving you a hard time” Devin asked.
“No, she’s been wonderful,” Jaden said softly.
Ella has been spoiled by me. If she bullies you, tell me, and I’ll teach her a lesson. But you must never lay a hand on her, understand! You can say harsh words but never hit a woman. If you do, I’ll come after you, Devin said seriously.
Jaden nodded solemnly. Ella breathed a sigh of relief, having been worried they’d be found out, but Jaden had played his part well.
They stayed for dinner with Devin. During the meat, Jaden kept piling food on her plate, which pleased Devin greatly.
Ella felt reluctant to leave, her eyes red with emotion. In the car, she couldn’t hold back any longer and buried her head in Jaden’s chest, crying like a helpless child
Devin was gravely ill, and Ella had been abandoned Partly out of spite and partly to find someone obedient, she had married Jaden.
After taking over the group, countless people doubted her, predicting her downfall.
But Ella had worked hard step by step, all on her own. Now, everything was finally improving, even Devin’s illness showed signs of recovery.
All her hardships were worth it. She longed to return to the past, under Devin’s protection, carefree in Ardhent City. But that time was gone.
She had to protect her ailing Grandpa and her mentally impaired husband, and uphold Devin’s legacy, being accountable to thousands of employees.
There was no going back. When Ella thought of this, she cried even more fiercely Jaden remained still, letting her cling to him.
“Idiot, you’re supposed to hold me and comfort me,” she said, annoyed at his dullness.
Jaden frowned almost imperceptibly but eventually hugged her gently.
“That’s better,” she murmured. “Thank you for making Grandpa so happy today. His appetite improved, and he even ate more than usual. Next time, come with me to visit Grandpa again, Okay?”
“I’m not Harry,” he said slowly.
Ella said, “Hmm! You cared about that?”
Jaden said, “Tm not him, so why should 1 act like him? I don’t like it. He held Ella’s hand, slightly displeased.
“I don’t want that either, but he refuses to come,”
Ella said.
Jaden’s face darkened. So, if Harry were willing to come, there would be no need for hime
What did that make him‘ The more he thought about it, the more upset Jaden became. He unconsciously tightened his grip, hurting her wrist.

“What are you doing?” Ella struggled to free herself.
“Next time, 111 just be myself. He lowered his eyes to hide the complex emotions within, his hand clenched into a fist behind his back, veins bulging. He was desperately trying to suppress his anger.
“Fine. We’ll talk about it next time.” Ella said, unsure when that would be. She brought Jaden home, surprised to find Rose at the door.
“Rose? Why are you here?” Ella asked
“I came to see Jaden.” Rose warmly took Ella’s hand, which made Ella feel she was being insincere.
D
They had been married for so long, and the Watson family hadn’t even attended the wedding. Now they had the nerve to claim they were here to see Jaden? Ella didn’t expose her hypocrisy.
Sure enough, once inside, Rose didn’t even glance at jaden, immediately inquiring about Denison Group’s intentions.
Previously, they had made a big show of trying to deal with Elb, forcing her to deal with Jaden and causing a huge commotion
Many thought Ella wouldn’t escape unscathed this time. But in the end, nothing happened.
Now, the Watson family was in turmoil. Several projects had been poached, and they had suffered significant damage.
Frank was too embarrassed to look for Ella for help, so the task fell to Rose. If she weren’t desperate, she would never bow to a junior.
“Ella, you have a good relationship with Mr. White. Could you find out what we did to offend him! If it’s our Dull, we’ll apologize. This business suppression is a bit excessive, Rose said.
“I’m not close to Mr. White!” said Lilla.
Rose looked at Ella with doubt.
Everyone in Ardbert City knew about their affair. Without the Denison Group. Ella would have been finished long ago.
“Ella. I’m not doing this just for us but also for Jaden. We’re family, and if we fall, you’ll be affected too. Helping us is like helping yourself, Rose sid.
“Did you take something from my husband? Ella suddenly asked.
“What?” Rose was taken aback.
“Think carefully about what you took from him years ago! When you figure it out, bring Simon along next time,” Ella said.
She left Rose trembling with fear,
“What did she want?” Jaden asked curiously.
“Nothing important. Do you remember what they took from you! Didn’t they throw something into the water at the Watson family?” Ella asked.
“My mother’s belongings, Jaden said.
“And what else?” Ella asked.
“I can’t remember, Jaden said
matter. I’ll help you get everything back this timer She clenched her fist, her eyes shining brightly, the determination striking a chord in Jaden’s heart.
Ella immediately called Hank to arrange a conversation with Marcus. After about half an hour, she received the call.
“What do you want!” The man’s voice was icily indifferent
Ella said, “Mr. White, I want to ask about your plans for the Watson family”
“What business is it of yours?” the man said.
Ella said, “Of course, it’s not my business. I just think the Watson family is an old established family in Ardbert City, and it will be difficult to bring them down in a short time. Why not lie low and find another opportunity later“”
“Make it straight,” the man said
Ella said, “I want to ask you for a favor. Leave the Watson family alone for a while. Of course, I don’t expect something for nothing. I’m willing to concede two percent. Can you do that? Do whatever you want afterward, but for this month, can you leave the Watson family alone!”

“Give me a reason.”
the man said.
“I want to help my husband get something back,” said Ella.
