Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

231 I Will Choose Him

“Christian, step aside.”

Ella’s voice wasn’t too loud. However, it was filled with power that made Christian blink in surprise.

Christian was a bit taken aback to hear that.

He didn’t want Ella to face Hartono. The man was not what he appeared to be on the surface.

From the outside, he looked like a chatty and grumpy old man. But actually, his heart was much crueler than that.

Christian knew all this because he grew up with his grandfather. As an adult, he also knew how to deal with Hartono.

However, this was not the case with Ella.

Seeing Christian not responding to his request, Ella frowned. She wondered what Christian meant. But Ella knew that if she didn’t do anything now, the old man in front of her would hate her even more.

If that happens, things will get more complicated.

.....

Ella is not a fool. With just a short conversation between Christian and Hartono, she knew that the old man was Christian’s grandfather.

“I have something to say,” this time, Ella ignored Christian and stood up straight. Even though she was behind Christian, she still smiled at Hartono who was angry with her.

She could understand Hartono’s feelings now. If her grandson had a relationship with a woman like her, maybe Ella would also object.



After all, Christian was too good for her.

Christian looks at Ella and is about to speak, but Ella opens her mouth first. “I know I don’t deserve your grandson.”

Ella can guess what Hartono said to Christian when he called Christian back to the main house before.
Perhaps, Hartono also felt dizzy and confused at this time. Why would his grandson, whom he loved, have a relationship with this kind of woman?

“Ella,” upon hearing Ella’s words, Christian’s face turned grim and unsightly.

What does this woman really want? Does she want to leave him?

Did this woman want to leave him using his grandfather?

Ella ignored Christian’s scream and looked straight at Hartono.

“Grandfather, we are still very young. There is an impulsive nature in us when we decide something. I know I don’t deserve Christian, but I want to maintain this relationship with him. If I don’t do something, I won’t know if I will fail or succeed. If I just gave up without even trying, I... I’d say I’m even less worthy of Christian.”

Ella’s eyes were absolutely clear and beautiful, like calm water without any ripples.

“I know you look down on me. I know you think of me as a greedy cheap woman who wants to improve her life. But I love Christian. That reason alone was enough for me to stay with him. And as time goes on, I will prove it,” Ella continued.

It felt weird to say that. Ella’s brain seemed to say that what she said was not the truth, but her heart said otherwise.

Her heart was rumbling uncontrollably, as if she had made a very big decision in her life.

Christian immediately turned and looked at Ella in disbelief. He didn’t expect Ella to say that. He thought that the attitude that Ella had shown him was fake so he didn’t expect that Ella had such a strong desire to stay by his side.

What Ella said just now was too sweet to hear in Christian’s ears, making the corners of his lips curl into a happy smile.

Nadia was outside the door now.

She was the one who contacted Hartono. Of course she knew what could’ve happened inside.

Hearing Ella’s words, Nadia sneered. Her face was no longer as friendly as when she was dealing with other people.

Those words might move other people’s hearts, but unfortunately, the one in front of Ella right now was Hartono Adipamungkas. The old man was so stubborn. Even if he listened to it directly with his own ears, he wouldn’t be able to accept it easily.

In addition, this matter involves the good name of the Adipamungkas Family.

It’s true what Nadia thought. Hartono then answered coldly, “I’m not forbidding you if you want to talk about love. But I don’t want you to disturb my grandson. I know very well how my grandson is inside and out and I know you don’t deserve him.”

“Tell me. What can you give for Christian, or for the Adipamungkas Family?”

Hartono has gone through so many trials and tribulations in this life and until his old age, he never believed in love. In his eyes, nothing is more important than wealth.

Nothing is more important than power.

Ella looked at Hartono who was standing in front of her and remembered her father.

The two of them were so similar.

“Grandpa,” Christian who was beside Ella complained unhappily.

Today, Ella really surprised him. The woman openly showed her determination to stay by his side in front of his grandfather.

Christian could feel happiness mixed with rage inside.

Ella showed that she had feelings for him!

Incidentally, Christian also felt the same way. He still felt reluctant to let go of Ella. Therefore, he would not let Hartono treat Ella like this.

“If you know me, you should be able to accept her when I want her to be my woman. Don’t get involved in this matter.”

“Do you want to marry her?” Hearing that his grandson was against him, Hartono felt very angry.

How could this lowly woman drive a wedge between him and his grandson so easily?

Hartono feels that Christian should end his relationship with Ella as soon as possible. A woman like Ella has such a bad reputation that it’ll threaten Christian’s good name as well as the Adipamungkas Family.

Plus, Hartono wants Christian to marry Nadia.

He and the Soetanto family had a good relationship from the beginning. He also knows the ins and outs of the family. If their two families could unite, of course it would make him very happy.

Christian was stunned when Hartono suddenly mentioned marriage. His eyes narrowed and he said, “If I wanted to get married now, the woman I would marry would still be her.”

Christian immediately expressed what he felt in his heart, without hiding it in the slightest. That statement was just an assumption, because Christian himself still didn’t want to get married right now.

But if he was forced to marry, Christian would not choose anyone else other than Ella.

Ella’s eyes widened at the shocking answer, as if Christian had said something very, very bad.
