Chapter 147: Leaving

"No, Robert, you shouldn’t go out for the next few days. What if... she suddenly goes crazy and stabs you? Haven’t you seen all the recent news about ex-wives or ex-husbands stabbing people? Brianna is the kind of person who won’t be polite to you anymore just to save face!"

Emily held Robert’s hand tightly, her eyes glistening with gentle tears. "Promise me, honey, don’t go see her, okay?"

Robert nodded, but the next moment he frowned, "But if we don’t get divorced, I can’t marry you. So we still need to find a way to get a divorce!"

"Let’s just wait; it won’t be too late to get divorced after she cools down." Emily wasn’t in a hurry at all, but her face was full of worry.

Robert kissed her gently on the cheek and then gave her a suggestive squeeze. "Darling, you’re the best to me..."

"Oh, stop it, don’t do that... the doctor said we have to wait a month..."

Robert kissed Emily’s beautiful, delicate face, and when he compared Brianna’s viciousness to her gentleness, it was like night and day!

It seemed the sooner this marriage ended, the better. Just thinking about Brianna poisoning Isabella still sent chills down Robert’s spine.

The next day, Ella packed up her things, ready to move out of the villa and live with Chloe. Although she really wanted to be with Eric, she was still young, and it would be troublesome if it got out.

Eric was worried that Brianna might go crazy and hurt her; after all, that woman had once poisoned Isabella.

What if she tried to poison her too?

And after Ella moved out, she’d have to go to the hospital for a check-up. Eric was truly afraid that Ella might have been poisoned, which is why he made these arrangements.

After packing up, Ella took a long look around the place.

"It won’t be long before this place belongs to me. My mom’s house won’t go to that bitch."

Ella smirked, carrying her small suitcase downstairs.

Brianna and Hannah were having breakfast when they heard the sound of the suitcase dragging across the floor. They looked up in surprise.

"Ella, you’re moving out?" Brianna asked, puzzled.

Ella nodded and replied calmly, "Yes, I found an upperclassman to tutor me. Since it’s far away, I decided to stay at a friend’s place until the college entrance exams are over."

Hannah scoffed coldly, "I bet it’s not for tutoring, but to mess around with some guy."

Ella chuckled softly, "Sister, you give me too much credit. I don’t have your charm, getting into so many scandals before even getting married, and having so many flings. Even Mr. Taylor worships at your feet, doesn’t he?"

With one sentence, she knocked Hannah, who had been acting arrogant, right back to her place!

Hannah trembled as she stared at Ella. Although she had been involved in two scandals—one with Brandon and another with Mr. Taylor—the one with Mr. Taylor was the most damaging to her reputation, and the one she hated being reminded of the most!

Seeing Hannah get insulted, Brianna’s face darkened. "Ella, you’re Hannah’s sister; how can you talk to her like that? Mr. Taylor forced her that time!"

Ella raised an eyebrow. "Whether it was forced or not, Hannah knows best. I’m leaving now; you two enjoy your breakfast."

She walked out like a proud Persian cat, her eyes cold as ice.

In Ella’s eyes, Brianna and Hannah, her sworn enemies in her past life, had now lost all their strength!

The remaining events would surely drive Brianna to a mental breakdown because someone like Robert would never give his ex-wife twenty million dollars plus a villa.

Just thinking about it, it’s impossible.

"Ella, is that how you talk to your elders?"

Brianna was completely furious, standing up abruptly and slamming her hand down on the white dining table.

Ella turned back casually. "Goodbye, Auntie."

With that, she walked away without looking back, ignoring Brianna’s furious shouts and curses from behind as if she hadn’t heard a thing.

Ella saw no need to waste time on her because Brianna no longer had the power to be a threat to her.

Brianna was still just an old fox that hadn’t fully matured. If she could have been a little more patient and observant, she might have noticed that Ella was the mastermind behind everything!

But Brianna was trapped by her emotions. Even though she no longer loved Robert, after all these years of holding on to a man, how could she suddenly be willing to share him with someone else?

Hannah stared at Ella’s departing figure with hatred, standing up in agitation. "Mom! I’ve always felt that everything between you and Dad falling apart is because that bitch Ella did something behind the scenes!"

Brianna froze for a moment, contemplating as she gazed out the door.

Little by little, Brianna began to analyze and question things. On the surface, it seemed that Ella had nothing to do with it.

"Think about it—why did Emily suddenly appear? Before... Dad was never interested in all those beautiful women, so why did he fall for Emily as soon as she showed up? Could it be that wild girl said or did something?"

Hannah sneered coldly, "Mom, didn’t you say before that the bitch isn’t the same naive girl she used to be? She’s changed! So anything is possible!"

Brianna’s expression darkened.

If Ella really was behind all this, then she had fallen right into the trap!

Now that things with Robert were so strained, it only proved that she was the loser!

The most pitiful loser!

An old fox like her, defeated by a mere brat!

"It seems I need to investigate who Emily has been in contact with. I overlooked this before, but now that you’ve mentioned it, it all makes sense!"

Brianna narrowed her eyes, raising an eyebrow coldly. "It seems I’ve been overlooking her! Because of your dad, I’ve been too distracted to pay attention to that little bitch!"

"Mom, it’s not too late to start paying attention. Everyone has a weakness, and once we find hers, it’s game over." Hannah smiled slightly, as if Brianna simply needed to take Ella seriously for her to be utterly defeated.

But Brianna’s face was clouded with worry. Without Robert as her support, how could she defeat Ella as easily as before?

These days, she didn’t even dare to show her face, let alone attend friends’ birthday parties or other social events, for fear that Robert would expose her affair.

At least for now, the fact that she beat the mistress in the cafe has not been made public.

"Mom, since that’s the case, we need to plan carefully."

Hannah looked at Brianna seriously, seeing the weariness on her mother’s face.

"We do need to plan carefully, but without your dad as a backer, it will be much harder and we’ll have to be even more cautious."

Hannah’s face fell as she listened.

Brianna was right, but they would have to seize the right moment to uncover Ella’s scandals.

"Don’t worry, I’m sure she’s moved in with some man. Mom, once I get the photos, I’ll leave it to you to set the trap."
