Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 196 196: Accident

"Miss Ella, it's not what you think.We were just..."

"I heard everything Rita, so refrain from covering up." Ella halted her and turned to face them.

"I know what everyone thinks of me, but you know what? I don't give a fuck. I don't think we're close enough to know the reason for my split," Ella said, flashing a look at Rita, who started the allegations after being brainwashed by Priscilla.

"But I guess, you are provided with limited information. So I suggest you do your full homework before coming and spouting nonsense regarding anyone's life"

Rita was the general manager and a close friend of Priscilla. She was well aware of her so-called pals' involvement with her ex-boyfriend. Despite being aware of the fact, she agreed with Priscilla to ruin her reputation at work.

"Also, instead of chatting about other people's lives, why don't you focus on your own achievements? As far as I know, you're yearning for a promotion this year. So, why not think about it before I go and talk to the head about your yearly performance?"

Ella's subtle warning caused Rita's face to turn pale. Although she appeared composed, the profundity of her words struck her like an arrow.

"I-I am sorry," she mumbled, and with her eyes, she pointed to the other two employees, who also apologized and immediately exited the restroom.

Ella, who had been standing firm before them, let out a trembling sigh. She had no idea how long she had managed to keep herself strong, but now that they were gone, she couldn't help but be proud of herself.

She believed ignoring them would be the best approach, but Stefan stated that she shouldn't let things go till they tainted her, and that fighting is better.

She knew the incident with Rita would be reported to Priscilla, and she did want to confront her immediately.

Jacob was becoming increasingly agitated as his phone calls had been ignored for quite some time. He was concerned that the police probe would soon lead to his arrest.

He didn't want to rot in jail with his daughter, so he asked for help from a well-wisher. But despite repeated tries, his call was not answered, which angered him.

"AH!...why isn't he answering my calls?" Jacob shouted, about to crush the phone when it suddenly began to ring.

His eyes widened, and he swiftly focused on the caller.

A sensation of relief washed over him, and he swiftly responded.

"Why haven't you answered my calls? I am in desperate need of your assistance," he cried out of frustration.

Jacob was going crazy despite seeming calm in front of the officer, but he couldn't ignore his wife, who appeared to be acting strangely, raising his blood pressure.

The line was silent for a while, making Jacob even more uneasy.

"You will be assisted, but on one condition," Jacob frowned as he heard the guy.
