Ella smiled but the smile did not reach her eyes, "Dad, I was barely conscious when I was carried out. Won’t you ask me if I am fine?"
Mr. Yu froze.
Silence descended in the living room.
"Sis, how could you talk to daddy like this?" Esther stepped in front of the Yu couple defensively, "They have been worried about you since yesterday... yet, you are blaming them..."
"Worried about me?" Ella blinked, "Essie, they might not know but you know everything. Why didn’t you assure them to lessen their burdens?"
"What is it that we don’t know...?" Mr. Yu’s voice cut through the room.
Esther’s eyes widened.
"Enough, Ella," Mrs. Yu stepped forward, "We are still standing here concerned about you and you are blaming your sister..."
"Mom, do you know who that man was?" Ella turned to her, a hint of coldness in her dark eyes.
Mrs. Yu paused, "If I knew, would I ask you to come over and clarify?"
"I will clarify but will you trust me?"
There wasn’t much Ella could bring herself to say at this point.
"Sis, you should just let the past go and apologize to our parents..."
’Pak’
Esther’s face turned to the side.
Gasps rose in the living room.
Mr. Yu and Mrs. Yu looked at Ella in disbelief. Mo Jun tugged Esther’s hand, pulling her to hide her behind him.
However, a glint flickered in Esther’s eyes.
With a drop of tear rolling down her eyes, she freed herself from Mo Jun’s grip and stepped towards Ella, "Sis, at this point, you should own up to your past mistakes. You can beat me all you wish but as your sister—"
’Pak’
The tight slap sent Esther staggering back.
"Ella!" Mr. Yu stepped forward, protectively shielding Esther behind him, "Explain."
"Dad, the man who died here yesterday was the same person involved in my scandal a few years ago," Before leaving, Ella had asked Adrian if he really killed the person.
The night before passed in a haze and she could not differentiate the truth from her imagination.
So, when she got a call from her mother, Ella knew that Adrian shooting that jerk was not a figment of her imagination.
When she questioned him, Adrian did not answer. Rather, it was Ji Yan who spoke: Miss Yu, you don’t need to worry. Things have been handled cleanly.
Ji Yan did not answer her straightforwardly but Ella understood the ins and outs of the situation all at once.
Mr. Yu spoke up, "What was that man doing here?"
"That’s right. No one could enter the party without an invitation but that person was still there. Coincidentally, in the room where Mom sent me to freshen up..." Ella trailed off and turned to Esther, "Why don’t we ask Esther about it?"
"Nonsense... How would Esther know anything about this..." Seeing the look of conviction in Ella’s eyes, Mr. Yu trailed off.
