Chapter 79 

Ella stomped fiercely on Jaden’s leather shoe. 

The sharp stiletto heel made Jaden wince in pain, his face turning pale. 

Ella walked away nonchalantly, leaving Jaden feeling like he wanted to die. 

Hank had been waiting in the car, ready to drive Jaden away as soon as his social engagement ended. 

He expected to wait for more than two hours, but Jaden came out in just half an hour. 

“Sir, so soon! Ms. Willow won’t be back so soon.” 

Jaden got into the car, and removed his mask, revealing a clear slap mark on his face. 

Hank was stunned upon seeing. “Who hit you? Who dares to hit you?” 

Jaden replied, “Ella. 

Hank looked confused as he asked, “Ms. Willow? Why did she hit you?“ 

Jaden said, “Your computer was tampered with. Didn’t you know? She found out about the bankruptcy plan we had prepared. Now she thinks all my kindness towards her was just a pretense. How am I supposed to reveal my true identity now?” 

“Hank, are you here to help me or ruin me?” 

“Sir, that was my negligence 

Hank was drenched in cold sweat. 

Jaden was furious, “If I lose my wife, you’ll have to pay for it with your life.” 

Hank responded, “Sir, you can’t entirely blame me for this, can you? This was your idea and I suggested canceling it several times, but you on going through with it. Now it’s my fault?“ 

Jaden asked, “So in the end, it’s my problem, right?” 

“You could say that.” 

Hank decided to speak bluntly, feeling that he might as well confront jaden directly. 

Jaden felt f 

for the first time what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot. 

Jaden s 

said, “Your annual leave is gone.” 

Hank retorted, “Even so, I have to speak up.” 

“Demotion and pay cut” 

insisted 

“That gives me more reason to speak. Honestly, even I, who knows nothing about this, could see you were falling for her. But you kept denying it. Is it so shameful to admit you like Ms. Willow! She’s beautiful, has a great background, and most importantly, she protects you even when you set clueless. She’s so good to you, and yes you’re biased against her because of her past, wanting her to go bankrupt. 

“To put it simply, sir, you’re being peny!” 

Jaden’s face turned as black as coal. 

Towards the end, Hank realized he should stop talking to save his own life. 

“Get out!” 

The word was squeezed out through Jaden’s gritted teeth as he wanted to kill 

Not a single word was pleasant to hear. 

At the end, Hank was kicked out of the car, watching it drive away. 

Hank continued to complain, “You deserve it!” 

Hank and sew his mouth shut.

Chapter 79 

—– 

Ella felt relieved after venting her anger. 

She was tired and was eating snacks alone in a corner 

Unexpectedly, Grace came while Ella gave her a cold, mocking smile, staring at her belly. 

Grace bit her lip and said recklessly. “You figured it out, didn’t you?” 

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” 

“You do. You know exactly what I mean. Didn’t you recognize me at the hospital last time? Now you have something on me. What will it take for you to keep my secret?” 

Ella answered, “Depends on my mood.” 

“Ella, if you dare to expose me, I will do whatever it takes to make you experience total loss” 

As soon as these words were spoken, Ella’s face turned icy 

She hadn’t threatened Grace yet, but Grace was already threatening her. 

She looked at Grace coldly and said, “Say that again” 

Grace was still f 

full of confidence just now but suddenly lost her nerve, 

She had been too scared earlier so she reacted like that 

“Please, Ella, I’m begging you.” 

She tried to touch Ella’s hand, but Ella avoided in 

“Don’t touch me with your filthy hands. If you hadn’t threatened me. I might have stayed silent. But now, I’m curious to see what you can do to make me pay. If this gets out, Harry will destroy you before you can do anything to me” 

Grace couldn’t find a word. “I… 

n him.” 

“Let me be clear. I don’t plan to tell Harry. I can’t ask for more than for you to cheat on 

“Maybe it’s Harry’s child.” 

the fath 

“Is that so? Looks like you don’t know who the father is either 

Grace felt a pang of guilt since she had been intimate with someone else during her ovulation period, so it was hard to tell. 

She had thought about abortion, but the doctor had warned her after the previous miscarriage, that another abortion might make it difficult for her to conceive again. 

Without a child, how could she keep Harry? 

So she clung to the hope that the child was Harry’s, praying every day. 

However, after all, she had been sold and had slept with another man, a fact both Ella and Jenny knew. 

This had to be kept from Harry at all costs, or she was done for. 

“Just behave yourself. If you don’t provoke me, I might be merciful enough to keep quiet,” 

“You won’t tell? 

“I said, it depends on my mood. Don’t provoke me, so I’ll be in a good mood,” Ella replied lazily. 

Grace could only nod. “What about Jenny!!” 

Ella suggested, “Give her some hush money. You may decide the amount 

Grace hesitated for a long time before taking out a check, writing 2 million dollars. 

“This is all my allowance.

Chapter 79 

“Harry is getting more generous with you.” 

Ella took the hush money without hesitation as she needed to work hard to help her friend become a billionaire. 

Leaving the banquet, she went straight to find Jenny. 

Jenny’s eyes lit up when she saw the check, saying, “Love you, it’s an unexpected windfall!” 

“You deserve it.” 

Jenny asked, “Do you think the child is Harry’s?” 

“Who knows?” 

“Well, I hope it’s not! Let that scumbag Harry reap what he sows and enjoy being a father. It’d be great if this were his only child, and he finds out when he’s old. How thrilling!” 

Upon hearing. Ella high–fived Jenny enthusiastically. 

That’s what Ella thought 100, which proved that best friends thought alike. 

Then, Jenny asked. “Did you confront Marcus!” 

Ella nodded. “I gave him a good slap, felt great.” 

“Girl, you’re awesome. 

innocent little Jaden doesn’t know how to lir. He’s so innocent, only interested in eating. So nice 

“Looks like only my in 

Jenny remarked, “Considering everything, Jaden isn’t bad. At least he doesn’t have any hidden agendas. I support your choler. When choosing a man, go for the simple one. Don’t pick one with too many tricks, it’s too scary” 

Ella agreed. “Exactly, pick the simple one!” 

Ella drank quite a bit and stumbled back home. 

“Have you been drinking?” 

As soon as she entered the bedroom, she fell into a strong embrace. 

Smelling the familiar scent, she felt strangely at ease. Thinking about the betrayals by Finn and Marcus made her heartache. 

Only the simple–minded Jaden wouldn’t lie to her. 

She hugged him tightly, murmuring, “Thank goodness for you. Even if the whole world deceives me, you won’t, right? You’re the best.” 

Jaden’s body tensed at her words. 

“You have no idea, that scumbag Marcus from Denison Group is a beast. His kindness was all fake, plotting to ruin my family. Finn approached me with ulterior motives too. So, Jaden, you won’t lie to me, right?” 

In the dark, Jaden could still feel her intense gaze but didn’t dare respond. 

Ella was unable to see clearly and continued talking to herself, “You better not lie to me, I don’t want anyone who lies to me!” 

With that, she drunkenly fell asleep. 

Jaden held her in the dark for a long time before slowly turning on the light. 

If one looked closely, one could still see a faint slap mark on his face. 

He removed her makeup and changed her clothes. 

She lay naked on the bed, her long black hair cascading down her beautiful back, but he wasn’t in the mood because he never expected things to turn out this way. 

Jaden tucked her in carefully. “I’m willing to be a fool for you forever, as long as I can be with you.”
