Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Treated like a part of the backdrop

The sound of laughter reverberated in the living room even before Ella reached the stairs.

But her thoughts were occupied with Adrian. The butler informed her that he had important business to attend to so he left for the King Empires while she was asleep. Ella hoped that Adrian would not come back with a ’100 million followers’ account in his hand.

When Ella descended the first stair, her gaze accidentally landed on the people who were seated downstairs.

And her footsteps halted. Her body froze.

Seated on the long couch was a beautiful figure, her legs were crossed elegantly and the soft smile on her face never wavered.

Lilith Quinn. The heiress of the prestigious Quinn Family of Country A.

Another nightmare from her previous life.

She was Adrian’s perfect bride according to everyone.

Except, Ella’s existence became an obstacle.

And soon, Ella became a thorn in Lilith’s eyes—

"Ella, dear, why are you standing there? Come here!"

At Old Madam’s words, all the heads turned in the direction of the stairs.

Ronan and Kade looked up.

Lilith’s phoenix eyes locked onto hers, a gentle smile touching her face as she spoke, ’’This is...?"

Ella’s palm was coated in cold sweat. Voices from the past mingled in her head.

’Is it painful?’ 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

’Just a little more. Increase the power!’

’She will die.’

"...Ella... Ella..."

Ella gasped a little.

"Miss Yu, is everything alright?" The old butler spoke up behind her.

Ella’s forehead was damp with cold sweat. What was that just now...?

"Grandma," Ella finally responded to the Old Madam, "I am still muddle headed because of my nap."

Old Madam King smiled, "It’s good that you are well rested. I heard that you worked really hard for your exams. Quickly, come over..."

As Ella descended the stairs, Lilith turned to the people surrounding her, "Is this someone from the branch family?" She smiled as she whispered.

Ronan and Kade exchanged glances and remained silent.

Sensing their awkwardness, Lilith sighed, tucking a few strands of her hair behind her ear, "Ah, I am afraid I have a terrible memory. How can I not recognize..."

’’Don’t blame yourself, Lil, you are meeting her for the first time," Old Madam looked up when Ella reached her side, "This is Ella, Adrian’s girlfriend."

The gentle smile on Lilith’s face slowly disappeared.

The living room sunk into silence until Old Madam King spoke again.

’’This is Lilith, Adrian’s childhood friend. They went to the same school."

"It’s a pleasure meeting you," Lilith approached Ella with her hand extended.

Ella took her hand and returned the smile, "The pleasure is all mine."

’Woof woof’
