Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

360 An Ungrateful Brat

“It’s not a problem. I can protect myself. You also know I’m not a naive woman. I will not be easily fooled.”

Hearing Ella say it in a low voice, Christian felt his heart hurt.

He knew what Ella had been through so far, so that she found it difficult to trust others. Christian knew her suffering all along. He knew all the pain she’d been feeling all this time.

“I know. All of that will never happen again,” Christian promised, looking at Ella intently.

Ella nodded. “I know.”

She tilted her head and her gaze fell on the handsome face of the man in front of her. She lifted her body slightly and kissed Christian’s chin.

Christian was shocked. She didn’t know why this woman liked to kiss his chin so much. But he still felt very happy.

Christian picked her up and took her to the bathroom.

…

.....

Meanwhile, the Maheswara Family was in a big mess right now.

Seeing the declining stocks, Budi’s face, which was originally red, now turned deathly pale.

What happened?

The company’s stock did become a little shaky because of what happened to Indri earlier. But Budi had tried to increase it again and today the stock was supposed to be stable.

How could it suddenly drop in value?

“How could this have happened?” Budi shouted loudly, making his secretary gasp in fear.

“I’m asking you! Answer me!” He shouted once more when he got no answer.

The shout caused the secretary to immediately reply, “Sir, there’s no way the value of our company’s stock will suddenly drop once it stabilizes. In my opinion, someone is secretly manipulating it.”

“What?” Budi couldn’t believe what he heard. His gaze locked on his secretary. “Who do you think did it?”

Of course he couldn’t believe it. Who dared to go against the Maheswara Family?

The Maheswara family had a good reputation in this industry. Despite the few scandals that occurred recently, they never clashed with anyone else.

Therefore, it was impossible for anyone to deliberately want to bring down the Maheswara Family.

Budi was always good at maintaining his image and attitude in front of many people so that he had many connections in the business world.

The secretary looked a little worried. Why did Budi not believe his words? He had worked for this company for many years. He was an experienced secretary and the speculations he spoke of were very reasonable.

“Master…”

“Don’t talk nonsense. You better find a solution.” Budi frowned in annoyance and looked at his secretary with a look full of anger.

“Yes, sir,” the secretary replied reluctantly. After that, he left the room.

Budi was still looking at the computer screen in front of him. His heart burned when he saw it. If not for that stupid daughter, how could all of this have happened?

He was suddenly called and asked to pick up Indri from the Adisurya Family’s house. Now, his already stable stock suddenly plummeted.

The Adisurya Family…

At the thought of that name, Budi seemed to realize something. His eyes were still on the computer screen in front of him.

It must be the Adisurya Family who did this!

Budi was not a fool. He knew long ago that the Adisurya Family wanted to conquer the Maheswara Family!

As he was thinking about this, his cell phone suddenly rang.

“Hello, who is this?” Because of his bad mood, Budi’s tone sounded bad.

Christian who was on the other side actually smiled at the voice. “What do you think about the gift I gave you?”

“You were the one who did it?” Budi’s eyes narrowed immediately. His pupils looked a little smaller from up close.

He didn’t expect Christian to come suddenly and step on him who had fallen on the ground.

“Yes,” Christian replied casually.

“That bitch must have told you to do it, right!” Budi got up and slammed his documents hard. “She doesn’t want to see me live in peace and wants revenge. What an ungrateful brat! I’ve been raising her for years, but she backstabbed me instead!”

“Enough. Do you think you can talk carelessly about my woman?” Christian’s voice suddenly turned serious.

Ella who was leaning on Christian’s body became tense. She couldn’t believe those words would come out of her father’s mouth.

As it turned out, when something happened to the Maheswara Family, her father blamed her. It turned out that this was how she was in her father’s eyes.

Bitch… An ungrateful brat…

Did her father want to throw all the blame on her again? Didn’t her father know that Ella had absolutely no business skills? How could she understand stocks?

Christian could sense Ella’s confusion. He hugged her with his strong arms. “Wasting your feelings for people who don’t matter is stupid.”

“Hmm…” Ella took a deep breath and repressed her feelings. She took the phone out of Christian’s hand and said to her father, “What am I to you?”

All this time, Ella wanted to know how her father felt about her.

In the mental hospital, Ella kept thinking about it but she couldn’t find the answer. She didn’t know why she was to blame for everything that happened to her family. Why should she be sacrificed for the sake of the good name of her family?

Actually, what did she mean in her father’s eyes?

Even after leaving the mental hospital, Ella still didn’t understand.

She was his daughter. Why was her father so cruel to her?

Budi snorted when he heard the question. “Do you think I raised you all these years so that you could disgrace my family’s name? You mean nothing at all! I only raised you so that you can be of use to me!”

Every word that came out was like a knife stabbed into Ella’s heart. Not just once, but so many times that it felt like her heart was bleeding.

She didn’t expect the answer to be like this.

Budi was really angry now that he didn’t consider that Christian was still with Ella and continued, “I thought you were going to marry Liam. But the boy went abroad instead. Haikal was also good enough to support this family. But you got pregnant with the child of an unknown man instead. Everything you did was only tarnishing the name of the Maheswara Family. Do you think I can still tolerate what you did?”

It turned out that this was the answer Ella had been looking for.

Budi didn’t really like Indri when she was little because Indri had no value in his eyes. On the other hand, Budi treated Ella very well and promised everything to Ella just because Ella could benefit him.

“It seems I’ve misjudged you all along,” Ella smiled bitterly. A tear rolled down her face.

There was still some hope in her heart, hoping that her father did all this out of necessity. But it turns out that the reason is only to satisfy himself!

Christian’s face turned cold. He could hear clearly what Budi was saying.

How dare he treat Ella like this?

If he dared to do so, he must also be prepared for the consequences.

No one should touch his woman! No one can hurt Ella!
