Ellena immediately pushed him away when she heard him. "No, I have to go on a business trip."

She knew that Edward did not want her to go on a business trip again.

Edward did not say anything. He just stared at her. There was no other emotion in his eyes, but no matter how Ellena looked at him, she felt that there was some resentment in his eyes.

"I'll be back in a week." Ellena curled her lips. She felt that she might have misunderstood the meaning in his eyes.

Edward was not that sick of peop

    Ellena gently stroked Elaine's soft hair.Her movements were slow and comforting, as though she hoped the little girl would not feel too sad.She smiled softly before explaining,"Yes.""There is something very important happening in her family.""So she needs to go back."Her voice was gentle, making the situation sound as natural as possible.Elaine blinked her large eyes.Although she didn't fully understand what "important family matters" meant, she could tell that Aunt Stacy wouldn't be staying with them anymore.After thinking for a moment, she obediently nodded.She didn't ask any more questions.Seeing how sensible Elaine was, Ellena felt both relieved and a little heartbroken.Children often understood more than adults imagined.They simply didn't know how to express it.Meanwhile, although Ellena had agreed without hesitation to let Stacy leave, she knew this matter would brin

    Paul, who was on the other end of the phone, waited for a few seconds.When he didn't hear Ellena's reply, he assumed the news had caught her off guard.He called out cautiously, "President Smith?"His voice pulled Ellena back to reality.She blinked slowly, suppressing the thoughts that had begun to swirl in her mind.After a brief pause, she replied calmly,"There is no hurry."Her tone remained composed, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking."I will go online and take a look first."She preferred seeing the information herself before making any judgment.Only after understanding the entire situation would she decide what to do next."Okay."Paul did not say anything else.He knew Ellena's personality very well.Since she had decided to verify the news herself, there was no point saying anything further.After hanging up the phone, Ellena lowered it onto the coffee table for a moment.The room suddenly became unusually quiet.She sat silently for several seconds before

    Chloe was stunned when she heard Ellena's words.Her eyes widened slightly in surprise."So you already knew?"Ellena nodded calmly and then looked at her. "Is it about Naomi?""Yes." Chloe passed the phone to Ellena and signaled her to look.Ellena took the phone and lowered her gaze to the screen.She had thought it right before. Cyrus had a large number of fans and he had only passed away a few years ago.Even after his death, there were still countless people who remembered him. Every year on the anniversary of his death, many fans would post messages and photos in remembrance of him.As his girlfriend when he passed away, Naomi did indeed carry a lot of topics and labels on her.Her relationship with Cyrus had once attracted enormous attention. Back then, people had discussed them endlessly, and even after all these years, their names still carried a certain degree of popularity.There were three topics relat

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 865. The Punishment She Deserve

    Ellena looked at Twitter but did not see any news related to Naomi's death.She scrolled through the trending topics several times, her slender fingers moving slowly across the screen. Entertainment scandals, celebrity gossip, business news, and various social discussions occupied the trending page, yet there was nothing about the Smith family.Not even a single mention.It could also be because the Smith family did not publicize Naomi's death.Ralph was a person who loved his face. To a certain extent, he was still a bit old-fashioned and conservative.He cared deeply about the Smith family's reputation and image in society. Throughout the years, he had always tried his best to maintain the dignity and prestige of the family. In his eyes, the opinions of outsiders mattered greatly.Naomi died on the day of Jayden's funeral. It would not be good if news of this got out.Just after Grandfather’s funeral, the granddaughter was dea

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 864. You Said I Was Crazy?

    Ellena looked at Madeline quietly for a moment before speaking.Her gaze was calm, but her tone was cold."I want to go home."The simple sentence carried an unmistakable sense of rejection.Madeline's face turned even paler."Ellena…" Madeline stood outside the car window, tears filling her eyes. She reached out and tightly gripped the edge of the window, her fingers trembling. "Ellena, do not be so cruel."The sight of Madeline crying like this would have shaken Ellena deeply in the past.There had once been a time when all she wanted was her mother's affection.A single kind word from Madeline had been enough to make her happy for days.Back then, if Madeline had cried in front of her, Ellena would have panicked immediately. She would have tried every possible way to comfort her, regardless of who was right or wrong.But that was the past.Now, when she looked at the woman before her, Ellena no lo

  • Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart   Chapter 863. Can You Accompany Me

    Naomi's ending today could be summed up in a single sentence.She had done too many wrong things, so she ended up with a tragic ending.However, even so, Ellena could not agree with Spencer's methods.No matter how Naomi had treated her in the past, Ellena's education and worldview made it impossible for her to accept what Spencer had done. She could not accept the idea of trading one life for another, nor could she accept the notion that someone had the right to decide who deserved to live or die.Life was not something that could be measured, compared, or exchanged.No one had the authority to stand above others and determine their fate.Even if that person was Spencer.Even if the person who had suffered was herself.She looked at Spencer steadily and sneered lightly."Do you want me to say thank you," Ellena asked coldly, "so that you can feel more at ease?"Her eyes were sharp and clear.There was not

    It could be said that Ralph pampered Naomi so much that she was out of control.Naturally, he liked to hear people praise Naomi.To put it bluntly, Ellena had been obedient in the hearts of the Smith family for so many years. She was no less obedient than a domestic dog. Therefore, Ralph believed her

    Ellena looked at him and said seriously, "I am not coming down. These hooligans are trying to hurt you. Don't be afraid. I will teach them a lesson!” Martin, who had been secretly following them, heard Ellena's words. He laughed in a very unkind manner.It had always been Edward who bullied others.
