Chapter 266 266: He did it because of me

In the meantime, Ella and Stefan arrived to the Hayes Mansion. Ella had been there before, but tonight she felt something strange boiling up in the pit of her stomach.

"Let's go," she murmured, turning to open the car door and step outside.

Stefan sighed in despair and followed her to the house's main door.
