Reborn Heiress: Taking Back What Is Rightfully Hers!
Chapter 273: Delete the Video

Chapter 273: Delete the Video

Ella squinted her eyes and sneered at Mason, "Mason, don’t flatter yourself! I’d rather turn into a lesbian than ever be interested in someone like you!"

Mason, unfazed, smirked flirtatiously, "Ella, are you just trying to get under my skin? What kind of ’someone like me’ do you mean? Either way, I’ve already become your dream guy, haven’t I?"

Ella was speechless!

She bent down, trying to slip away from him, but Mason suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist. "Eric’s on a business trip, aren’t you lonely? How about tonight..."

Ella’s face darkened with anger, and she raised her hand to slap him. But Mason, not being foolish, swiftly caught her wrist.

Their position was strange—almost as if they were dancing in the women’s restroom.

As their bodies pressed together, Ella became even more furious.

"Mason, get lost!"

"I can’t roll, I can only walk," Mason teased. "But if you roll with me, I might give it a try! Besides, what’s so great about Eric? Does he know how to read you like I do? Is he as experienced as I am?" Mason chuckled, his eyes full of temptation.

Ella, now enraged, scoffed. "You’re so full of yourself. Honestly, you’re filthy! Back off, or I won’t be so polite!"

Mason’s expression darkened. "Ella! I’m giving you a chance here!"

As he spoke, he grabbed her chin roughly, which caught Ella by surprise. She quickly knocked his hand away with force.

Mason’s face turned grim. "You really are a rose with thorns!"

But women like her only made men want to conquer them more.

"Ella..." a voice came from outside, and only then did Mason slowly release her. In an instant, Ella’s knee struck him in just the right place, causing Mason to clutch himself in pain.

"Ella! How can I have sex with you if my dick is broken?"

Ella was utterly disgusted. "You? You’re not even worth a second glance from me!"

Just then, Chloe ran in and spotted Mason in the women’s restroom. "Mason, what are you doing here?"

"I came to the wrong place!"

"But why are you holding yourself down there?" Chloe asked in her innocent, clueless way.

Ella snorted and stormed out. "He’s got diarrhea, and it hurts down there!"

Chloe, full of concern, rushed over, "Come on, I’ll take you to the doctor!"

With a grimace, Mason pushed her hand away and struggled to stand up. "No need, I’m fine now!"

Chloe watched the two of them rush off, looking confused. "What’s going on? Why does this feel so weird? Did I miss something?"

Compared to Ella, who had lived through so much, Chloe’s mind was much simpler. Although she had her suspicions, within seconds, she brushed them aside.

Meanwhile, in the restroom hallway, Rachel stood there, watching them walk away with a cold smile on her lips.

Just as Mason had wrapped his arm around Ella’s waist, Rachel had been about to walk in. Seeing the scene, she had quickly stepped back and secretly filmed it with her phone.

"You wild thing! Flirting everywhere you go. How could someone like you ever be worthy of Mr. Nelson? Hmph, with this video, I’ll make sure your reputation is ruined!" Rachel sneered, her smirk growing wider.

Once she posted this video on the school forum, Ella’s name would be dragged through the mud. After all, Eric was incredibly popular now, the dream guy of countless girls!

How many people had their eyes on Ella? How many were jealous of her? They would be eager to pounce on any little misstep and gossip about it endlessly!

"Delete that video!"

A cold voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Rachel spun around in shock, her eyes wide as she saw the man standing behind her.

Henry!

What was he doing here?

Henry’s face was tense, his expression filled with disgust as he looked at Rachel. It was obvious that he had overheard her earlier conversation.

Rachel’s face went through a range of emotions—shock, then hurt, and finally pitiful pleading. "Senior... I... I was just joking!"

She never imagined that the saying "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind" would apply to her situation!

"Delete it," Henry commanded coldly again.

Though he couldn’t have Ella for himself, he didn’t want her reputation tarnished by some scandal. Worse yet, he knew that some obsessive fans, when driven to irrationality, could become a real nuisance.

Egerton University had once seen a case where a beauty from the art department had started dating a popular finance major. But soon after, the girl began receiving threatening letters, and sometimes she’d even find dead rats or snakes in her room. Eventually, it drove her to a mental breakdown.

The scariest thing in the world is the human heart.

Even the smallest incident can bring out the darkest sides of people, and Henry was relieved that he had managed his own emotions well. He didn’t hold any resentment toward Eric or Ella over what happened with Grace.

"Okay, okay, I’ll delete it right now!"

Rachel, on the verge of tears, quickly complied. "I really like Ella, and I admire Mr. Scott, especially since he’s been featured in financial magazines lately... but I like you even more, Senior!"

After deleting the video, Rachel looked up at Henry with timid, watery eyes.

If she couldn’t get close to Eric, getting Henry’s attention wasn’t a bad consolation.

After all, both were from the Nelson family. Henry was just as handsome as Eric, and while his skills might not match Eric’s, the shares he held in Nelson Group were more than enough to support them for a lifetime!

"Thanks, but I’m not interested in women like you," Henry sneered. He couldn’t stand women like her.

Not all men liked overly coy women.

"Senior, I’m serious... I... I love you!" Rachel’s face flushed, and her eyes were filled with gentle affection as her cheeks turned pink.

Henry scoffed sarcastically, ignoring her completely as he turned and walked away without another glance.

Rachel stood there, humiliated, while several nearby rich girls burst into mocking laughter.

"A mere servant girl, and she thinks she can get with the second Nelson son?"

"What a joke! She should look in the mirror and see what she really looks like! You think Henry would be interested in a woman like you?"

"Hmph, a woman with that much scheming? Even I wouldn’t like her!"

Rachel endured the scorn and disdain of the wealthy girls and quietly walked away.

Henry, after leaving, didn’t approach Ella. He simply watched her from a distance, observing her every move, every smile. His heart was filled with a mix of emotions—bittersweet yet beautiful.

So, this was what unrequited love felt like?

Meanwhile, Ella returned to the couch with a cold expression on her face. Chloe, on the other hand, was doting on Mason, who looked grumpy, showering him with endless concern and care.

Ella felt even more frustrated now.

Why couldn’t Chloe see through Mason?

Perhaps, when women are blinded by love, they all become fools, blind to the truth!

But the thing that would really push Ella’s frustration to its peak was yet to come.
