Chapter 68: Let him roll!

"Ella, are you out of your mind? They dare treat you like this, and you’re still staying with them... What if something happens to you..."

Chloe strongly opposed Ella’s decision.

"Chloe is right. Your brother treats you this way, which shows he’s always been horrible to you. Ella, listen to us, move to my house. You can share a room with Chloe!" Charles urged softly.

"Why should my woman live at your house? If she’s moving, it will be to mine!" Eric chuckled lightly, his mischievous smile causing Chloe to quickly avert her gaze, cursing him inwardly for his charm.

"Mr. Nelson, Ella is only eighteen. Are you really suggesting she moves in with you?"

"Why not? The marriage law in Country S allows people to marry at eighteen," Eric replied with a playful smile. "What do you say, sweetheart?"

Ella shook her head. "I choose to stay with the Davis family. After this incident, they won’t dare make any moves against me. If anything happens, the suspicion will fall on them. Robert and Brianna are smart; they won’t let anything happen."

"But staying there long-term isn’t a solution," Eric said seriously, worried that Robert might discover Ella’s true parentage.

If Robert found out Ella wasn’t his biological daughter, he would stop at nothing to eliminate her. Now that Ella was sharp and capable, Robert would suspect she already knew the truth about her origins. His belief was simple: if he couldn’t have something, he would destroy it.

"Then I’ll stay temporarily until I achieve what I need to," Ella said, her eyes flickering with determination.

She could never forget the words Hannah had told her in her past life. Her birth mother had been poisoned by Brianna.

Ella had two reasons for not leaving the Davis family. First, they couldn’t harm her now, no matter how much they hated her, because any harm to her would point directly to them. Second, she needed time to find evidence of her mother Isabella’s murder.

Though many years had passed, and finding evidence might be difficult, Ella didn’t want to dismiss it without trying.

"If you need anything, call me immediately, okay?" Eric’s voice was gentle as he tenderly stroked her soft hair.

Ella nodded and smiled faintly as they looked at each other.

Seeing this, Charles felt a sharp pang in his heart. He stood up abruptly. "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going."

Chloe glanced at Charles sympathetically. It was clear Ella had chosen Eric.

"I’ll leave too, Ella. Call me when you want to hang out. Don’t forget your friends!"

"Okay, I will. See you!" Ella’s mood lightened. In this world, only Chloe, Charles, and Eric truly cared for her.

Eric silently placed a bowl of nourishing soup in front of her. "It’s good for your blood. Drink it."

"It’s just a small injury; it’s no big deal."

"Ella, do you want me to twist your head off?" Eric demanded, pointing at the bowl. "Drink it all!"

Ella glared at him but picked up the warm chicken soup. Her eyes stung slightly, a tear threatening to escape.

Just after finishing dinner, Brianna, Hannah, and Robert arrived. They were all stunned to see Eric there.

"Mr. Nelson, you’re here too? What a surprise! Mr. Nelson, did you come to see Ella?" Robert stammered, realizing that if the prestigious Eric truly favored Ella, it could be a significant opportunity for the Davis family.

He planned to seize her shares once she turned twenty-five, as long as he could prevent Ella from marrying Eric before then. If the Nelson Group partnered with the Davis Group, their future would indeed be bright.

Eric glanced at him indifferently before withdrawing his gaze.

Robert felt awkward as Eric ignored him. Just then, Kevin’s voice came from outside, "This is so annoying, Dad, Mom, why did you bring me here?"

Ella’s face paled, and she trembled slightly. "Get him out... I don’t want to see him, I don’t..."

A flash of anger crossed Eric’s eyes. Despite knowing Ella was faking it, he still felt a deep pain.

He turned and saw Kevin standing at the door.

"Get out!"

Eric’s angry roar startled Robert, who quickly pushed Kevin out and closed the door.

"Ella, I’m really sorry... It’s my fault for not raising Kevin properly, for letting him make such a mistake... I will certainly teach him well from now on!" Brianna began her tearful act, holding Ella’s hand as she spoke.

Hannah stood by with her head lowered, occasionally sneaking glances at Eric.

Seeing the devilishly handsome man focused only on Ella, Hannah felt a deep sense of resentment.

What’s so special about that wench? Why do both Charles and Eric like her?

"Teach him well? Where were you in the past decade, Mrs. Davis? A son who dares to harm his sister — your teachings have truly been thorough!" Eric’s eyes were cold as ice, and his tone was relentlessly accusatory.

Brianna’s heart pounded. She had only dared to let her son act because she thought Ella and Eric had fallen out. Even though Kevin hadn’t followed her exact instructions, Eric’s sudden questioning meant they hadn’t broken up.

Brianna’s face turned ashen. Ella gave a weak smile, "Eric, don’t blame Mommy... She didn’t want this to happen either."

"Yes, yes, I didn’t want this to happen. Mr. Nelson, please don’t be angry!" Brianna quickly tried to appease him.

Robert also nodded, cautiously addressing Eric, "Mr. Nelson, perhaps we should discuss this elsewhere..."

Eric snorted, glaring icily at Brianna. "If she gets hurt again, I believe the Davis Group won’t need to exist!"

With that, he turned and walked out.

Brianna’s face grew even paler. With Eric as Ella’s protector, it would be difficult to act against her now.

"Tsk, you survived even after being stabbed multiple times. You must have a tough life!" Hannah sneered as soon as Eric and Robert were gone.

"Hannah! Shut up!" Brianna’s head throbbed. Now that Ella had back-up, Hannah’s arrogance could lead to more trouble.

"Mom! Isn’t it true? This bitch caused our brother to be scorned. Why doesn’t she just die?" Hannah shouted arrogantly.

"Hannah, if someone as venomous as you isn’t dead yet, why would I die?" Ella’s expression darkened; she had endured enough.

Hannah was livid, but Brianna suddenly slapped her hard across the face.
