Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

When Hartono heard these words, his hand gripped his walking stick more tightly. His face was red from holding back his anger. “Today, you must cut off your relationship with this woman!”

This is the first time Hartono has seen his grandson be stubborn just because of a woman.

“Grandpa, it seems that getting older makes you forgetful,” Christian said in a calm voice. However, in that calmness there was also stubbornness.

He walked to a chair and sat looking at his grandfather. “You should know how I am. I don’t like being controlled by other people.”

“Do you want to go against me for such a woman?” Hartono turned his gaze towards Ella. His gaze was filled with hatred when he saw her.

Meanwhile, Ella looked unconcerned.

She never wanted to marry Christian, so Hartono’s threats did not apply to her.

“Do you remember what happened five years ago to Nathan?” Christian said coldly. His gaze was still straight towards Hartono.

.....

Hartono’s face immediately paled when he heard Christian’s words.

At that time, Hartono did not want to accept Nathan. The child born out of wedlock was a stain on his family’s reputation. Plus, it’s unclear where Nathan came from.

After that, Christian did a DNA test and took Nathan away without asking Hartono’s approval.

What did Christian mean by discussing the matter? Did that mean, if he opposed, Christian would leave the family to marry this woman?

“Christian, have you gone mad?” He said, looking at Christian in disbelief. He couldn’t believe his grandson would do something like that just for a woman.

Christian ignored Hartono’s strong rebuke. He pressed a button on the phone on the table. “Come here.”

Meanwhile, Nadia who was outside could only bite her lip in annoyance. She doesn’t understand why Hartono suddenly becomes soft in front of Christian.

Nadia could hear Hartono’s voice trembling slightly after Christian mentioned the problem five years ago. Was there something he didn’t know from five years ago?

Nadia didn’t stay there any longer for fear of being caught by Christian’s secretary. She immediately went downstairs.

As soon as the elevator closed, the other opened. The secretary who got a call from Christian rushed into the CEO’s room.

He looked at Hartono who was sitting while frowning and then said carefully, “Master, please come with me.”

“What does this mean? I am the head of the Adipamungkas Family!” Hartono snorted coldly. He glanced at the stupid secretary, but still stood up from his seat.

As soon as they left, the room fell silent.

Christian looked at Ella who was still standing in front of the sofa. The man’s face was flat and emotionless.

“Are you afraid?” Christian asked with a faint smile on his face.

Ella shook her head and took a deep breath. “He’s very temperamental.”

It was true what Nathan said earlier. His great-grandfather was scary.

“Don’t worry. I am here. He wouldn’t dare do anything to you,” Christian hugged Ella gently. He brought his lips to Ella’s ear and whispered, “I was very touched by your love confession just now.”

“Love confession?” Ella asked confusedly.

When did she confess her love for Christian?

“It seems you misunderstood.” Ella tried to free herself from Christian’s embrace. Her heart had a bad feeling.

What she said earlier was only meant to convince Hartono that Ella could stay by Christian’s side. Who knew that her statement would be misunderstood.

In fact, it was Christian who took her statement seriously.

Even though Ella had more feelings for Christian, she knew how far the distance between her and the man was.

Even though Ella loved him, she would never dream of getting him.

“Did I misunderstand something?” Christian’s eyes looked dim. “Explain to me.”

Ella stepped back, then looked at Christian’s face and gulped in fear. She felt like she wanted to keep her mouth shut forever so she didn’t have to explain all this to Christian.

But if she didn’t explain now, things would get even more complicated later on. The bigger the misunderstanding, the bigger the consequences would be for Ella. And she wasn’t sure she could bear it.

“I thought, if I said that, your grandfather would accept me. But I didn’t expect him to be so much more stubborn than I imagined.” Ella smiled bitterly. She moistened her dry lips and continued, “From the start, it was clear the agreement between us that we would only get what we needed. I will always remember it. Even if you want to marry me, I can’t do it. I don’t deserve you and you don’t love me either.”

Ella’s voice grew weaker. “Nathan won’t accept me as his mother. We’d better maintain our current relationship. After I get my revenge, we will separate and live our own lives. You will still be the man everyone dreams of.”

After saying that, Ella chuckled. Her eyes looked dreamy as if imagining a beautiful future.

Christian found the smile on Ella’s face dazzling. A smile he rarely saw.

“How about you?”

“I will use the Maheswara Family’s money to buy a house abroad. What do you think of the idea?” Ella’s eyes sparkle like stars, making Christian’s heart flutter even more.

Christian held Ella’s chin and said in a cold voice, “You dare to do it?”

“Why are you this rude?” Ella smiled and took Christian’s hand. “By the time that happened, you might have forgotten about me. Maybe you don’t care where I am anymore. Maybe then, I will think of you. I will tell people how kind you are, the only person who would help me through this difficult time.”

Seeing Ella’s glowing face, Christian could feel the fire inside him ignite. All the happiness he felt earlier disappeared in an instant.

“Don’t you remember? You can only leave if I tell you to.” Christian had absolutely no intention of letting Ella go. He even thought about keeping her by his side his whole life.

Ella immediately waved her hand. “I don’t remember those words. And I refuse to.”

Ella knew that this was the right time to please Christian and win his heart. After all, Christian had just said he would choose her if he had to get married tomorrow.

But upon hearing that statement, Ella was surprised and felt confused, not happy.

She could be an obedient woman who fulfilled everything Christian wanted. But love? Ella didn’t want to love anymore...

Christian felt his lungs were about to explode. “Ella, you...”

“Christian, I’m sorry.”
