Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278: The course of her life

Ella stood in a crowded alley, her eyes roaming across the row of small houses. She walked off the house in the corner, slightly secluded from the rest.

"Do it properly. Do you want your father to die?!"

A saucepan landed near Ella’s feet and her eyes locked onto the figure sitting on the ground, wiping the floor.

"Clean it there too..." A man pushed his wheelchair out, instructing Violet, "The house has gotten so dirty yet instead of cleaning it, you’d rather fool around outside... Who are you?" The middle aged man’s gaze snapped to Ella.

Ella finally moved her gaze away from Violet’s figure and looked at the man, "Violet’s friend."

Hearing the voice, Violet jerked upwards and turned around. Her eyes widened when she saw Ella, "Ella, why are you here...?"

She paused and turned to her father, "Dad, I have already cleaned up your room. Why don’t you rest there for now? I will clean up the house in no time once I finish speaking to my friend..."

The middle aged man’s gaze scanned Ella from head to toe. Despite her striking appearance, she was dressed in a plain hoodie and leggings. The man’s lips curled down when he noted that.

"You should be selective about who you befriend out there," the man grumbled as he turned his wheelchair around, "Not everyone is as kind as Miss Yu..."

After he left, Violet smiled at Ella and walked towards her, "I am sorry about that. Esther helped in paying for Dad’s treatment and he has always been fond of her. I did not tell him about the recent incidents so as to not stress him out."

Ella nodded slowly, letting the girl lead her to the small garden space. Earlier when Ruby and her cornered Esther in that room, the words she uttered rang in Ella’s head.

[Violet is no longer a part of this drama, I am replacing her. The director doesn’t want a disfigured actress for this role.]

"Has your skin not healed yet?" Ella looked at Violet.

Violet paused for a moment before she pulled her top down, showing her the fading scars below her collarbone. They looked like they would disappear in a matter of a few days.

"It’s not about the scars. Like you predicted, these would have gone before the shooting started. They needed an excuse to replace me and this... was perfect."

In fact, Violet was not as significant in the entertainment industry.

They could have replaced her without any excuse and she could not fight back at all but her scars gave them the perfect excuse to paint her as the person who deceived them to get the role.

Ella looked at the girl, "You are giving up?"

"I... am not capable, Ella. I have skills but skills are not enough to survive in an industry that is so ruthless," Violet sighed, "Esther offered me an exclusive contract to be her stunt double in all her future projects."

Ella’s eyes narrowed.

"If it was before, I would have agreed. But knowing that the person I treated as my true friend wanted to disfigure me, I can no longer go back to how things used to be between us. I turned her down..."

Ella looked in the direction where Violet’s father had disappeared, "Now..." she paused, not knowing how to continue.

"We come from a small town, I got into the university because of my scholarship... and a part of it was also luck. But I think my luck has run out. I will convince dad to move back to our hometown, I have shortlisted some jobs..."

Ella fell silent. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
