Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

355 Two Choices

“Let me guess. You must be very angry right now that your check couldn’t help you get what you wanted.” Ella said as she looked at Hartono with a smile on her face.

Ella took the check that was on the table. When she saw the amount written on it, her lips curved into a faint smile.

“100 million? It seems you are not that generous.” Her sharp gaze was fixed on Hartono, making the man look back at Ella with a glare.

Apart from her beautiful appearance, this woman did not bring anything good to his grandson. Because of this woman, his relationship with his grandson became bad. In addition, the cooperation with the Soetanto family also ended.

How much more loss would he have to suffer because of this woman?

“You greedy woman!” Hartono said coldly, wishing he could get rid of Ella right away.

“I don’t know why you see me as a greedy woman,” Ella asked back. Her gaze was still fixed on Hartono’s face. She took a deep breath and shook her head.

She knew that Christian got his stubbornness from his grandfather. It’s hard to talk to these people.

“Have you ever seen Christian spend his money on me? Did he buy me a house or a car? Or did he shower me with jewels?”

.....



???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Ella dared to look at Hartono directly because she knew she was innocent.

When she was with Christian, Christian did not give her many gifts. Ella didn’t ask either.

Christian only gave her warmth. And that warmth was all Ella wanted from Christian.

In terms of finances, it was true that no one could compare to Christian. But Christian was not the only rich man in the world. He was not the only man who could buy branded goods that women wanted.

With the grace of her beautiful appearance, Ella could have been looking for another man.

Ella’s question made Hartono’s expression even more unsightly.

Even though he didn’t want to admit it, what Ella said was true.
The media never took photos of Christian buying things for Ella. Not even a picture where they went shopping together. Hartono also investigated Ella and found that the woman did not own a house or a car in her name.

This proved that Ella didn’t ask for anything from Christian and that his grandson didn’t give Ella anything.

While thinking about this, Hartono’s face suddenly brightened as if he had remembered something. “After your mother died, she left a house for you. More precisely, the house that now belongs to the Maheswara Family.”

Ella frowned upon hearing this. She didn’t want anyone else to get involved in this matter.

If Hartono wanted to disturb her, it would be difficult for Ella to get the house back. Until now, Ella had no intention of asking Christian for help in getting the house back. She also had no intention of asking Christian to attack the Maheswara Family for the time being.

She didn’t want to involve Christian in her troubles.

Plus, their relationship had just begun.

“Do you want it?”

Seeing Ella’s expression, Hartono felt dissatisfied.

He had investigated Ella before and knew about this information. He did not expect that this information would be of use to him. For Hartono, getting the house back was very easy.

But that didn’t apply to Ella.

“Or do you want to wait until you marry Christian and use him to get the house?” Hartono asked.

When he noticed that Ella’s eyes narrowed slightly, Hartono sneered as if he thought that reaction was an answer for him. “I can help you talk to Christian for you.”

“No need.” Ella shook her head. “It’s just an insignificant thing.”

Ella knew what Hartono was thinking. He just wanted to test whether she wanted to use Christian or not.

“If you don’t want to be honest with me, let me tell you,” Hartono’s face looked confident that he would win. “Actually, I’m also very interested in that house. Lately, I’ve been interested in ancient houses and they suit my taste. After a year or two remaining, if I get bored, I will renovate it.”

While saying this, his gaze fell on Ella.

He knew that this woman cared about the house. How could she accept Hartono renovating her mother’s house?

His guess was right, Ella clenched her fists tightly and looked at Hartono. “What do you want?”

Luca who witnessed this incident at the side felt even more panicked. His face that usually looked soft and warm turned stiff as he tried to digest the situation.

Currently, Hartono was cornering Ella.

Their closeness made Luca know how Ella was. Ella was so stubborn and would never ask Christian for help. Ella would try to solve all her problems herself.

“I just want you to leave Christian.” Finally, Hartono’s wrinkled face showed a smile this time.

Ella hated being cornered like now…

But the old man before her didn’t make way for her.

The choice was Christian or her mother’s house. However, the relationship between her and Christian was getting better…

Seeing Ella’s doubts, Hartono continued, “If you feel that the house is not enough, you can take this check as well. Don’t tell me I’m stingy. I know what kind of woman you are and I know how to deal with you.”

Hartono sounded very confident.

The old man was still sitting in his chair, but the confidence he radiated frustrated Ella.

She didn’t know what to choose. No matter which one she chose, it was all wrong for her.

Seeing that Ella was still hesitating, Hartono coldly snorted. “There’s no need to accept it if you don’t want to. You’re indeed in a relationship with Christian now, so I can’t do anything to you. But this friend of yours is not as lucky as you.”

If the money he offered didn’t work, Hartono could only threaten.

He said it while glancing at Luca.

Unfortunately, Luca didn’t care at all.

Hartono continued, “Do you think I can’t take care of the people around you? I could have made this shop unable to reopen. And I could have made Liam’s company disappear because of you. Won’t your conscience be disturbed?”

“I should be the one asking you. Won’t your conscience bother you when you do all that?” Ella couldn’t hold back her emotions anymore.

How can a man like him be Christian’s grandfather? A man like Hartono doesn’t deserve Christian as his grandson.

“I’m doing this for my grandson and my family. I’m doing the right thing.”

Hartono stood up while still looking at Ella. “Only I can choose my granddaughter-in-law and I have already chosen Nadia. You suddenly appeared and interfered with my original plan. I’ve been good enough, giving you those two options. But if you still don’t thank me, don’t blame me for being mean to you.”

After that, Hartono immediately left the place.
