Chapter 83 I'm just an average teenager Shawn, his face painted with concern, hurried over to the scene after noticing the disturbance.
Even though he was aware of Ella's explosive temper, he was still in shock over what had just happened to her. He reached out to Arlina, an apologetic look on his face.
"I'm incredibly sorry, Mrs. Malfoy. I have no idea what cover Ella," Shawn said, his voice laced with genuine remorse.
Arlina's frown deepened, her eyes flickering with a mix of betrayal and hurt. She let out along sigh before responding, "Mr. Hemsworth, I appreciate your apology, but this is highly uncalled for. And Ella, you went too far. How dare you splash me? How dare you?" The heaviness in her voice reflected the disappointment and anger she felt.
Without another word, Arlina calmly turned on her heels and made her way towards the nearest exit.
Anger radiated from her every step as she walked through the ornate double doors into the moonlit night.
Ella watched Arlina's retreat, her face contorted with anger. She turned to Shawn. "Why did you apologize to her? Did you know what she said?! She called you second-rate!" calm down, Ella!" Shawn shouted mutely. "People are watching! I've told you several times without a number to always control your anger." Shawn pulled Ella's hand and dragged her to a quiet place with tears threatening to fall in her eyes.

"I'm not, I just don't want you to beca laughingstock in front of so many people. You know how things work in this circle" Shawn patted her back. "You know today is Mom's birthday too. You don't want Mom to say poor words to you again, do you?" Ella realizing Shawn's words finally calmed down.
"I'm not going to let her go, she insulted you." "We can talk about that later but let's Mom enjoy her day first" Shawn answered and Ella nodded. When Ella and Shawn got back to the ballroom, they didn't find Arlina but they found her secretary, Amelia.
Ella couldn't help but think that Arlina wasn't here for her Mother's birthday.
If it was before, Arlina would have left after being splashed with champagne.
we should keep an eye on her, I think she's up to something. She's not the type to stay after being humiliated like that" Ella told Shawn.
Even though Shawn wasn'tina prominent family like the Trinder Family, it was obvious that Ella loved Shawn. Of course, when she brought Shawn home, they didn't approve of him.
But her love for him made her stay with him.
"Is Aunty and Rachael on their way?" Ella asked and Shawn nodded.
"1 think something is going on between Rachael and Emmanuel," Shawn told his wife. "Emmanuel didn't stay with Rachael in the shotel and it looked like something was going on." "Do they still hear about Jeff?" Ella asked, her expression darkening.
11 don't know. That boy has made up his mind" Shawn replied. His expression wasn't too good either.
Ella didn't say a word after Shawn's words. She recalled how Rachael had warned her after Rachael met Jeff in Dazzle Suite.
She would still definitely get back at Jeff. And Arlina.
Meanwhile, Arlina was cleaning her clothes outside the ballroom when she received a call. "'Is it the sobject as the one I sent you?" Arlina asked. She smiled sseconds later. The caller's response made her smile, making her worry disperse like it was never there.
Just as she was about to leave, she noticed a car stopping in front of the entrance. She squinted her gaze, wondering why the person looked familiar.
"Ah, Professor Paul? I guess he's quite influential too" Arlina thought to herself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTo her surprise, a young man also got down from the car after Professor Paul got down.
"Isn't that..." Arlina's eyes widened in shock, noticing her so-called stepson ina well-fitted tuxedo suit.
Jeff got down from the car, anot-so- good Express plastered on his face. "Do you think I look good in this suit? I prefer casual clothes 'Just shut up! I Sometimes you have to change your style and wear something extravagant" Professor paul smacked his lips. "After this event, We will go buy other clothes for you." "With your money?" "Nah, you are richer than me, young man" Professor Paul laughed.
Arlina who was standing a few meters away couldn't believe what she just heard and see. How did the boy know Professo Paul? The Scavo Family and now Professor Paul?! Who is he for real? And their banter... They didn't sound like someone who just met. Their conversation is that of close friends which even amazed Arlina even more. As Professor Paul walked past her, the man didn't even flinch. It was like he intentionally ignored her and she was right! paul deliberately ignored her.
Arlina clenched her fists but she couldn't keep quiet when Jeff passed by her. "What are you doing here?" Jeff stopped in his tracks, shifting his gaze to Arlina. "From what I remember, we are not that close enough for you to askthat kind of question." "You are always rude" Arlina scoffed.
The Hemsworth family didn't train you well." "As my stepmom, aren't you supposed to correct that?" Jeff asked sarcastically, alow chuckle escaping his lips. "Well, you are too busy trying to ruin me. I guess you didn't have the tto fix me." "Jeff, are you coming?" professor Paul called.
"I'm coming" Jeff answered loudly.
"I'm speaking with this not-so familiar woman." "Who are you really? How did you know Professor Paul?" Arlina asked again.
"Why are you askingpersonal questions, Mrs Malfoy?" Jeff raised his brows in a surprise arc. "If you I have no other que I would love to take my leave." Aš Jeff t turned to leave, Arlina stopped him again by grabbing his hand, her eyes brimming with anger. "What are you hiding? Who are you?" Jeff yanked his hand away from her and turned his head to her without turning his full body. "Me? I'm just an average teenager who is trying to live peacefully." X
