Chapter 81

Lily sure knew how to push people's buttons.

First, she went on and on about how amazing life was in a rich family,then she tore Ava apart from head to toe.

Andy was glued to her phone.

She thought the day was over, but nope, she still got hit with some major news.

Andy thought to herself, 'Such an ugly woman still wants to marry into a wealthy family.Dream on!'

Andy knew all about Ava and Arthur's history.

In her eyes, Ava and Arthur were the perfect couple, and anyone else was just a fling. After all, Arthur invited Ella out late at night surely only to sleep with her.

To Ava, Ella was just Arthur's side piece, no real threat.

If Andy could help Ava marry Arthur, that would be a big win.

She had an idea and quiety approached Ava.

Ella and Lily were still trash-talking at the bug.

Ava's face got darker and darker as she listened, her hand clenched into a fist, nails digging into her flesh without her even noticing. Andy leaned in, looking serious. "We needto teach her a lesson this time!That bitch can't have kids. let's expose that too!" When they drugged her, they already had a plan to create a scandal.

Infertility in women was either due to congenitaI reasons or had resulted from multiple abortions.

Thinking about Ella's massive bleeding last time in front of everyone,they could definitely use that.

Ava hesitated, lightly biting her lower lip. "Isn't this too much? Can we give her a chance?"

"If you're going to marry Mr. Smith, you can't be soft-hearted!"

Andy looked determined. "Strike when you need to, otherwise, even if you marry Mr. Smith, you'll have to deal wvith these side chicks."

She looked like a sincere friend. "I'm doing this for your own good! And Leo, we don't know how they investigated last time,now he's still working well! We can let him and Ella have more interactions! Let Mr. Smith know she's a promiscuous woman!"

Ava was hesitating, and Lily's words were getting nastier.

They even started attacking Ava's looks.

"She looks pure, but she's actually ugly! She must've had plastic surgery.and the more she had, the worse she got. Look at her nose, one punch could knock it crooked."

From her nose to her skin, her figure, even her hair wasn't spared. Hearing these vicious words, Ava's face hardened. "You're right, I can't be soft-hearted!" Tonight was going to be a sleepless night. Many people went to bed with heavy hearts.

In the morning, Ella stood in front of the mirror, looking at the red marks all over her body, fuming. "Damn it! So many hickeys. I need to find a way to cover them up."

She rummaged through her wardrobe for a long time before finding a dress with a collar.

Ella and Lily headed to the living room together.

Seeing the camera on, they were obviously stunned.

"Is the live broadcast starting now?" Lily asked bluntly.

The cameraman nodded. "Yep, the director wants the audience to see your casual state!"

Ella nodded, then they went tothe dining table.

Maybe because of the live broadcast, today's breakfast was especially lavish.

All kinds of breakfast were laid out.

Ella grabbed a piece of toast and some milk,eating slowly.

At that moment, Ava walked over,smiling.′′Isit comnfortable eating with a mask on every day?"

Thinking about last night when Arthur went out with Ella, Ava was fuming inside, but she kept that smile plastered on her face. Ella raised an eyebrow, about to say something, when Lily giggled. "You look good today! Did you get another injection?"She was hinting at plastic surgery.

Ava's face stiffened. "You're joking!"

"If you think you don't look well, I can help you!" Lily rolled up her sleeves and flexed her wrists.

Her meaning was clear.

The live broadcast viewers found it hilarious.

UJoking around first thing in the morning! So funny!]

[Yeah! Are they here to entertain us? Starting an argument so early!]

At first, the comments were from Ella's fans, who fully backed Lily's behavior.

But Ava's fans jumped in immediately.

[Why bully Ava! She's our idol, you jerks! Get lost, MIs.Worry-Free and her sidekick are no good!]

The viewers were split, some praising, some cursing.

But it didn't affect their breakfast.

Ella ate slowly, and just as she was about to get up, Arthur'sbig hand pressed on her shoulder, pushing her back into the chair.

"I need to talk to you!"

His voice was cold and a bit hoarse from a hangover. He drank again last night. Ella raised an eyebrow, asking softly, "What's up?"

"Give me a head massage later."

His request was pretty presumptuous.

Ella was about to refuse, but then Arthur's gaze fell on Leo, who was not far away.

"He's smart, the director keeps praising him!"

A blatant threat to Ella.

She nodded. "I happen to know a massage technique that can relieve hangover headaches!"

She stood up and moved behind Arthur, gently massaging his head.

Arthur closed his eyes, looking very pleased, holding a piece of bread in one hand and milk in the other.

The live broadcast viewers went wild seeing this scene.

[They look like a couple! Who would believe they have no feelings for each other?]

[Get together, hurry up and have kids!]

While massaging, Ella glanced at the comments unintentionally.

When she saw the word "kids," her eyes dimmed and her hand paused for a moment.

Arthur noticed her change and looked up, his face dark. "I don't want kids!11 That sentence was like a dagger,stabbing straight through her heart.

'How much sex had we? Not wanting kids? How ridiculous.'

Ella felt like a clown at that moment.

In anger, she increased the pressure of her hands.

Arthur gasped in pain, looked around, and pinched her thigh in a blind spot.

They hurt each other.

Ella felt the hot sensation on her thigh, ignored it, and pressed harder.

"Mr. Smith, you've been working too hard lately, so you need a strong massage to feel better!"

"Okay,I trust you!"

Their words were gentle, full of intimacy.

But their private actions were rougher than ever.

Arthur felt his head was about to be crushed while Ella felt her thigh must be bruised.

"Everyone gather, let's talk about the next competition!"

The director's timely appearance saved them both.

Ella turned and left without looking back, holding Lily's hand and sitting on the sofa.

They sat on a two-person sofa with no room for a third person. Arthur saw this and smiled, walking over to Lily.

Remembering being pulled up last time, Lily smiled and moved voluntarily.making a gesture of invitation.

Ella was speechless.

Some friend with no principles.
