Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

383 Looking for a Designer

When Christian and Ella came home, they saw Nathan sitting on the sofa watching the news on TV seriously. He frowned, showing the displeasure on his face.

“What is it?” Ella walked up to him and asked worriedly.

Usually, when she and Christian came home, Nathan would immediately run to the front door and greet them.

Nathan raised his head and looked at Ella while frowning even more.

“Old woman, I’ve seen the news.”

Even though he was young, Nathan already understood many things. Of course he knew what the news said. He saw the bad woman who once hurt Ella appeared on the news and said she was going to marry Liam.

Nathan knew Liam well because he had met him several times. In his opinion, Liam was a nice guy. There was nothing wrong with that man, apart from that he wanted Ella just like him.

Ella looked at the TV screen and it happened that Liam’s face appeared on it.

The reporters had gathered at Liam’s company and they were huddled together, desperate for an answer to the news that broke out today.

.....

The security guard guarding the gates of Liam’s company tried to stop the journalists. But since so many people wanted to enter, they were overwhelmed.

Liam stood before the crowd with a serious face. He looked at the watch on his wrist and said, “I’ll give you an answer as soon as I can. So can you guys go back now?”

The reporters wanted to swarm Liam with a thousand questions. But seeing the look on Liam’s face now, they didn’t dare say anything else.

Liam is also an influential figure in the city and he has a good relationship with Ella. That means, Christian is most likely on his side too.

The reporters didn’t dare press Liam any further.

After answering some basic questions, Liam finally left accompanied by some of his bodyguards.

The whole process was broadcast live so Ella could see it clearly.

“Indri and Nadia are really mean,” she said, clenching her fists tightly. Ella really hates people who use sneaky tricks to get what they want. Especially when they do it by hurting other people.

Inwardly, Ella is determined to uncover this conspiracy and make them regret everything.

Christian feels disappointed when he sees Ella like this. Why does this woman keep thinking about another man?

Nathan could understand his father’s feelings. But he didn’t understand why this old woman was so angry. He wondered if it was the reason his father’s face was gloomy.

Nathan thought for a moment and started the conversation, “You came home from work early today,” he said.

As soon as it was about work, Ella remembered that she would be participating in a painting competition in a few days.

The theme of the competition had been determined and the participants only needed to submit their work.

But now, after all this had happened to Liam, how could she think about her work?

When she was pensive, suddenly Luca called her.

“Ella, I just saw the news about Liam. Do you still want to take part in the competition?” He felt bad that Ella had missed this opportunity.

Although her chances of winning were not that great, she could at least gain experience by participating in competition. She could make it a stepping stone for her career.

Ella took a deep breath, “I don’t know. I have no inspiration and I’m not sure I can get it. Brother, don’t worry too much about me and Liam. Just watch over your studio.”

Hearing Ella talk about the studio, Luca couldn’t help but wet his lips in worry. The studio is still being renovated. Not at his request, but on Christian’s order.

But Luca had no intention of complaining to Ella. Luca knows that Christian is doing all this not for his own good, but for Ella’s. His studio will be bigger and more customers will come to buy paintings.

His business will be more advanced and that is also profitable for him. So why should he complain?

“Is Liam okay?”

He and Liam had only just met and weren’t very close. But Luca knows very well how Liam is.

Plus, Luca could see how much Liam loved Ella. How could Liam have a relationship with another woman when he’s still loyal to his feelings towards Ella?

Luca could guess how Liam was feeling now. He must be desperately frustrated.

“This incident will make it difficult for him. He has to find a way to get it over with,” Ella said with a frustrated sigh.

Indri was always looking for trouble with her. It’s impossible to stop her. Ella feels more and more anxious about what Indri is planning after this.

Luca said with a regretful tone, “Too bad I can’t be of any help. Otherwise, I’m willing to help him.”

Ella was about to answer when suddenly a thought crossed her mind. She turned to Christian who was standing beside her.

“Christian, isn’t Nadia’s company operating in the jewelry field?”

“Yes,” Christian answered.

Ella nodded, “If she works with a company that has never operated in the jewelry industry like Liam’s, what will she do?”

As an experienced businessman, of course Christian knows what plans Nadia will do after this.

Most likely, Nadia wants to use the Jaya Family’s considerable reputation in Indonesia to promote her jewelry domestically. So far, Nadia’s family has mostly worked abroad, so her name in Indonesia is not too big.

But Christian knows very well that her goal isn’t as simple as it sounds.

Nadia is a very ambitious woman. Her best ability is to control other people’s companies.

“If my guess is not wrong, Nadia will send the designers from her company to Liam’s company to work with them.”

On the surface, Nadia will look like she is running a new project with another company. But in truth, she was trying to infiltrate another company and take control of it.

When Nadia pulls back all her designers, the project will fall apart.

Ella understands what Christian is saying. “So that means, Liam won’t be able to disengage himself from working with Nadia?”

“It’s not impossible. But Liam will be at a huge loss if he does.” Christian explained patiently. “Think about it. If a company running a project suddenly fails to start, how much loss will they have to suffer?”

Ella nodded and said to Luca on the other side of the phone. “Brother, do you know a painter who can design jewelry? Your help will mean a lot to Liam.”

“I know some,” Luca nodded, but he didn’t understand what Ella was going to do. The two of them chatted for a while and then ended the call.
