Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299: My girlfriend is not feeling well

At a little distance from the scene, Lilith observed the scene coolly.

"What are you thinking?" Eli had come to stand by his side at some point.

Lilith looked in the direction in which the waitress had left, "I think it’s time to dig deeper into the Yu Family. For an ordinary and warm family of four, they have quite a lot of skeletons in their closet."

...

Almost on instinct, Ella wanted to rush after the waitress. The girl looked way too uncomfortable and scared when she ran away.

However, she hadn’t even taken a step when she saw her reflection in the mirror.

The wine had completely soaked into her dress, seeping through her undergarments. And the white gown clung to her body in a way that had Ella frown.

Without even looking around, she could feel countless gazes lingering on her as if she was some live show.

Ella felt a headache pressing behind her temples.

Almost on instinct, she looked around. Her gaze scanned through the crowd before she spotted Kade in a discreet corner, flirting with a waitress.

Ella’s lips twitched. Such a brother-in-law, one cannot tell if it’s a blessing or a curse.

As her eyes roamed again, she spotted Ronan talking to the man from earlier, Luca. Both the men were also immersed in their own worlds.

Ella braced herself to cross the hall in such a manner when the crowd stirred.

"Who is that?"

"I don’t remember seeing her in any of my circles before!"

"This year’s ball is indeed special. There is no lack of stunning women at all!"

Ella turned around but because of the people who were crowding over, she could not spot the new guest.

Taking the opportunity of everyone’s distraction, Ella turned to leave.

"Stop!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

A familiar voice rang from behind.

Ella halted, her eyes wide in disbelief as she turned around. In the center of the hall, one could see a beautiful woman donned in a forest green gown. Her long red hair was set free, wild and untamed.

And her cold expressions immediately melted away when her eyes met Ella.

Before Ella could recover her senses, a white fur shawl was draped around her.

Ruby secured the front, adjusting it over.

Ella blinked, still quite astonished by Ruby’s presence here but before she could utter a word, another voice chimed in.

"You don’t seem quite well, Ella. What’s the matter?"

Ronan, who was talking to Luca, on another floor had already come to stand beside Ella.

Ella: "_" I haven’t been quite well for a while now. How come you chose this moment to notice it?

Once away from the crowd, Ella turned to Ruby, "How did you end up here?"

Ronan, who had shamelessly tagged along with both the ladies, decided to interrupt at this moment, "It doesn’t matter, does it?"

Ella shot him a suspicious look.

"I received an invitation from Adrian," Ruby still remembered when a maid delivered the invitation box to him and repeated what the servant had said: Our Second Master and Mistress would be glad to see you there.

And that was all it took for the Ambrose Mansion to get chaotic. Mr. Ambrose, who had freshly recovered and could already walk by now had already started to plan his outfit when the maid made another declaration.

’Only the Young Miss is invited!’

Although Mr. Ambrose was displeased about that, he still lectured Ruby for half a day about how to make connections and bring profits.

Hearing Ruby’s words, Ronan narrowed his eyes, remembering the hour-long negotiation he had with Adrian some time ago.

’What do you think of inviting the Ambrose Family?’

Adrian did not reply to that.

’I think you should invite Ruby in any case.’

Adrian only looked up at the man with a quirked brow.

’I am not saying it with any ulterior motives. You should know that this is the first time you are exposing Ella to your circle. Having her friend around would make her comfortable as well...’

However, till the very end, Ronan did not get an affirmative response from Adrian.

Half a day later, he left the place, grumbling.

But looking at the scene now, Ronan was inwardly speechless. He couldn’t agree to my request but the moment I mentioned Ella, he really invited Ruby?
