Chapter 20: Ella is gone

’’Where are you going?"

Esther lazily stretched beneath the covers. "Darling, one second! My sister’s in trouble again..." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

She pulled the man out of her body, ignoring his groan of protest.

"That woman is nothing but trouble," he muttered. "Always taking advantage of your kindness."

She giggled, trailing her fingers over his jaw. "But she’s my sister, after all."

’’Make it up to me later.’’

Esther jiggled her bare breasts near his face in response, barely letting them brush his mouth and watched as lust clouded his vision. Biting her lips, she picked her phone and walked into the bathroom.

When she checked the text on her phone, her eyes sparkled.

The text read:

’Miss Yu went out for a run.’

A run? Esther frowned.

Since when did that fatty take her body into consideration?

It really seems like you have grown some wings, sis. It’s time for me to cut them off for you!

She locked the door behind her and quickly made a call.

’’Esther, why are you calling so early in the morning? Is everything good?" Max’s concerned voice sounded from the other side.

’’Brother-in-law, sister really needs you right now...’’

’’I don’t care about that unruly woman...’’

Esther’s eyes narrowed, ’’I know you are angry with her because of her past actions but things have not been looking good for her either. She is suffering a lot. If she does takes any extreme steps to harm herself then I know you will also be left with regrets...’’

The other side was silent for a long time before the man grunted, ’’Tell me where she is.’’

Esther’s eyes sparkled. Even if Max did not give two cents about Ella’s life and death, he would still care about his family reputation after all.

After hanging up, she quickly texted Adrian. After checking it again and again, she sent it, pleased with herself.

Being the paranoid and keen person Adrian was, he would definitely get her implication and then...

It was over for Ella.

At this moment, on a secluded path surrounding the Eve Mansion, Ella approached a tree and lifelessly slumped under it.

’’I still overestimated my capabilities,’’ she leaned back on the tree like a withered flower.

Her entire face had turned red and her body was covered in sweat. She panted, trying to catch her breath.

Eh, in her excitement, she really did run a little bit too far.

Now, it seemed so difficult to even think about covering such a long distance on her way back.

Ella decided to rest and recover her energy a bit as she leaned back on the tree, letting the cool breeze caress her body.

And after a few minutes, one could hear the sound of soft snores.

Ella fell asleep while leaning back on the tree.

...

It was a pleasant morning but the atmosphere of the Eve Mansion resembled a burning purgatory.

Adrian sat motionless, blood trickling down his knuckles. The coffee table lay in ruins, shattered glass gleaming like ice under the morning sun. His breathing was ragged, his pulse hammering in his ears.
