Chapter 98

The banquet was finally over.

Ella was so wiped out she could barely stand.

"Lily, I'm just gonna grab a cab. You drive home! It's too much for you to drop me off!"

"Alright! Be safe!"

Ella was debating whether to call Glenn when a car pulled up in front of her.

The window rolled down, and there was Glenn, looking ridiculously handsome with his glasses and a smile. "Hop in, I'll take you home!"

Ella didn't stand on the ceremony. After a quick hello, she got in the car.

The engine roared to life, and they sped off like a bullet.

Arthur was left speechless.

He'd taken a call and was just a minute late coming out.

And now, Ella was in another guy's car. His face darkened, eyes turning icy. "Follow them! Get Ella back!"

'Following is easy, but how do I get her back?'

While Efren was stuck in a dilemma, Arthur yanked him from the driver's seat. "You take a cab home!"

With that, he got in and floored it, speeding off.

Efren stood there, watching the car disappear, heart pounding in fear.

"Mr. Smith, drive safe, or I'm out of a job!"

He muttered, debating whether to call Ella.

Then he saw Arthur block Glenn's car.

Arthur had gone nuts, driving like a maniac and forcing Glenn to stop.

With a screech, Arthur's car skidded to a hal in front of Glenn's.

Thinking of what might happen next, Efren covered his eyes.

It wasn't just Efren who was startled.

When Arthur's car caught up, Ella thought they could just avoid each other.

She never expected Arthur to go crazy, drifting his car to a stop in front of them.

Luckily, the driver braked in time, avoiding a pile-up.

The sudden stop jolted Ella, making her lurch forward.

Just when she thought she'd hit her head, Glenn's arm wrapped around her waist,holding her tight.

The sudden closeness made Ella's heart race.

In the shock, her mind went blank.

It took her a moment to snap out of it. Just as she was about to speak, the car door was yanked open.

Arthur's face was stormy, his cold eyes fixed on Ella's waist.

Seeing Glenn's hand on her waist,he wanted to chop it off.

He pulled Ella out of the car.

Caught off guard, Ella's legs gave out, and she fell into Arthur's strong arms, her hands instinctively wrapping around his waist.

This small gesture pleased him.

Arthur's lips curled slightly, but thinking of Glenn's hand on her waist,he wiped her waist forcefully.

Everything happened so fast, Ella was still in a daze.

A gust of wind cleared her head a bit.

She struggled to stand up from Arthur's arms, her face cold. "Are you crazy? Do you know how dangerous that was?"

Luckily, the driver stopped in time, or it would've been a disaster.

Arthur's lips curled slightly, but he didn't answer. His cold eyes locked on Glenn. "Don't touch what's not yours! Or I wwon't hesitate to chop off your hand!"

Glenn looked at his fingers, still warm from the touch.

Facing Arthur's cold stare, he was unafraid and looked back at Ella wvith gentle eyes.

"We're just friends, and you two are about to get divorced!"

The word 'divorce' hit a nerve with Arthur, his face turning icy.

He swung his arm, trapping Ella in his embrace. "We're just having a spat!You don't stand a chance!"

With that, he scooped Ella up and put her back in his car, flooring the gas pedal.

The scenery blurred past as they sped down the road.

Ella propped her chin on her hand, staring out the window, not wanting to deal with the crazy Arthur.

The atmosphere in the car was cold and silent.

After a while, Arthur sighed. "What do you want?"

"I want to work, make money, pay off debts! I want freedom!" Ella didn't even look at him, her tone full of impatience.

"You!"

Arthur irritably pounded the car door. "Stop making a fuss! And I haven't agreed to the divorce."

Ella sneered, "So what? Stay away from other men? You can spend a fortune on Ava, but I have to stay away from other men. Why should I do this?"

Ella turned her head, coldly looking at him, the sarcasm in her eyes undisguised.

Just then, the light turned red, and the car stopped. Arthur frowned. "Can you clear your head? Stop saying things out of anger. Ava and I are not what you think. I take care of her because..."

At that moment, the light turned green.

The car didn't move, and the honking from behind kept sounding.

Arthur irritably withdrew his gaze and floored the gas pedal.

The explanation was interrupted, and he had no desire to speak again.

Ella was speechless.

They were about to get divorced. Ella no longer cared about his relationship with Ava.

She looked out the window, not caring about Arthur's intentions.

The car stopped at the house. She got out and went inside without hesitation.

Opening the door, she thought Sofia had already gone to bed. She quietly went to her room, feeling irritated at the thought of sharing a room with Arthur tonight.

She grabbed a random nightgown and walked into the bathroom.

After a quick wash, she looked at the nightgown in her hand and froze.

'What was going on? Oh my God, I just grabbed a random one.

It was a revealing lace dress, showing off her long legs and a large part of her chest. It was a sexy lingerie.

Ella covered her face with her hand, feeling embarrassed. Just as she was thinking of changing, she heard the door open.

'Oh no, Arthur is back.'

In a panic, she turned on the faucet.

The water ran, and she was as anxious as a cat on hot bricks, not knowing what to do.

She could only hope Arthur had something to do and would leave.

Time passed slowly. She pressed her ear to the door, hearing the sound of clothes being taken off.

Arthur wasn't going to leave.

There was a knock on the bathroom door.

Ella was startled, her voice trembling, "What is it?"

"It's been too long for your shower. Hurry up and come out!"

Arthur's voice was cold, giving no hint of his mood, but Ella felt a chill.

She rolled her eyes and said, "The water heater has some issues. You should use the other bathroom!"

"Come out!"

Arthur's commanding tone left no room for refusal.

Ella,leaning against the door, was furious. "I don't want to come out.You go somewhere else!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the doorknob turned.

Ella immediately grabbed the doorknob, but Arthur was so strong that the door was about to get pulled open.

Arthur lost his patience. "What are you fussing about?"
