Reborn Heiress: Taking Back What Is Rightfully Hers!-Chapter 66: Worried About Her
Chapter 66: Worried About Her
"This Adam, since when did he start liking videos?" Eric muttered, curious as he opened the video.
The footage showed the one person he hadn’t been able to stop thinking about—Ella.
Ella was on the ground, and Kevin was kicking her.
Eric’s expression darkened, and his eyes blazed with anger.
Miss Taylor, sitting beside him, leaned over and remarked, "I saw this video earlier today. It’s of the Davis family’s eldest daughter and the young master... I heard that Miss Ella Davis’s mother passed away early..."
Eric barely registered her words, his focus entirely on the video.
When Kevin pulled out a knife and stabbed Ella, Eric’s blood boiled with rage.
Ella didn’t dodge but raised her arm to block the knife!
The video was stained with blood, screams filled the background, and no one came to help the lonely, helpless girl!
Damn it!
Bastards!
Each stab felt like it was piercing Eric’s own body, his heart wrenched with pain, his muscles tensed, and his chest filled with searing fury.
Anger and pain swallowed his pride; he needed to see her, the injured girl, right now!
"Damn it! Davis family!" Eric threw his phone down in fury and stood abruptly, his fists clenched tightly.
Miss Taylor jumped in surprise, quickly picking up his undamaged phone. "Mr. Nelson, what’s wrong? Your phone..."
Eric snatched his phone back without a glance at her and stormed out. "Miss Taylor... I have an urgent matter to attend to..."
Miss Taylor sat there, bewildered. Why had Mr. Nelson reacted so violently to that video?
She chuckled softly, "Men with a sense of justice are rare these days. Mr. Nelson must be going to handle someone else’s business. He’s a man worth trusting for a lifetime!"
Eric rushed to his car, intending to head to the Davis house, but then realized Ella must be in the hospital after being stabbed so many times, even if it was only in the arm.
"Damn it..." Eric’s hands trembled with rage as he struggled to dial his assistant John.
"John, find out which hospital Ella is in, now!"
"Yes, boss!"
John was efficient as always. In five minutes, he called back with the information. "Boss, Miss Davis is at S Hospital, room 1025 in the inpatient department."
Eric hung up and drove straight to the hospital, fury and distress churning inside him.
That girl could have avoided the attack. She could have fought off that little brat!
But she didn’t. She let Kevin hurt her, knowing it would tarnish his reputation and bring disgrace to the Davis family.
It was a form of retaliation, but such a self-sacrificial tactic made Eric’s heart ache.
What if Kevin had aimed for her head?
What a foolish girl!
Running multiple red lights, Eric finally arrived at S Hospital. He kicked open Ella’s room door, drenched in sweat, his forehead beaded with perspiration.
Ella, lost in thought, jumped at the loud noise. She looked up to see the man who had been absent for over a week.
Ella stared at the panting Eric, thinking she must be dreaming.
How could he be here...
Hadn’t he decided to end things with her?
Mrs. Lee stood up, hesitating as she looked at Ella.
"Mrs. Lee, please leave us," Ella said calmly.
Mrs. Lee silently exited the room. Eric, with his hands trembling, his eyes full of anger and sorrow, stared deeply at Ella.
He rushed over, gripping her shoulders tightly. "Ella, are you insane? Have you lost your mind? Why didn’t you avoid it? Do you have a death wish?"
Ella winced from the pain in her wound caused by his shaking. She frowned slightly as Eric, breathing heavily, looked like he was about to explode with rage.
Ella smiled faintly, though her eyes were filled with sorrow. "Avoid it? Run away? If I had avoided it, wouldn’t they just continue to torment me? Do you know... this was the best opportunity to fight back! Now Kevin’s reputation is ruined, and Brianna and Robert’s too."
"If I had dodged, I would have missed this chance! I’m alone and weak, Mr. Nelson. What other methods do I have to win decisively?"
"Only by making them notorious can I gain any advantage!" Ella shouted, her voice full of determination.
"Do you know? When Brianna and Hannah planned to drug me, to make me Brandon’s woman, to take compromising photos and ruin my reputation, what did I think? I wanted to skin them alive and drink their blood!"
Ella’s pale face was streaked with tears.
"I switched the drinks to avoid that disaster. But that little demon, Kevin, what did he do to me at home? He threw cups at me, poured hot milk on me! And that’s just the beginning! What about the future? When he eventually stabs me to death, will I regret not dealing with him sooner?"
Tears filled Ella’s eyes, her chest heaving with a mix of anger and profound sadness, and she couldn’t stop herself from crying. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
"My father, Robert, after Kevin stabbed me, the first thing he did was blame me for angering him! In the Davis family, there’s no one I can trust. I have to strike first!" Ella laughed bitterly.
The servants in the Davis household appeared loyal to Brianna, but in reality, they were Ella’s people.
Through stock trading, Ella had already made ten million dollars. She had spent three million dollars to buy the loyalty of three servants, promising them more rewards if they performed well.
Brianna’s paltry hundred thousand couldn’t compete with her one million dollars. This was how Ella kept a tight grip on the goings-on in the Davis household.
Eric, breathing heavily and eyes red, looked at the tearful girl, his heart aching as if being sliced by a thousand blades.
"Mr. Nelson, do you have a better way to ruin them completely? To make them fear me?" Ella asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"We’re no longer connected, Mr. Nelson. A wealthy heir like you shouldn’t be entangled with someone like me... so, Mr. Nelson..."
"Stop talking!" Eric shouted angrily, cutting her off. Before Ella could react, her trembling lips were silenced by his forceful kiss.
Eric’s wild kiss captured her tears, consuming her sweetness, and taking in all her pain and sorrow.
