Chapter 123
123 A Necklace
“What did I tell you before?”
Her fiancé’s cold voice made Indri immediately shrink.
She knew how important this matter was to Haikal so she asked her mother for help. They both begged her father, but her father did not want to help Haikal.
“Haikal...” Indri licked her dry lips, looking a little doubtful.
Haikal became more and more impatient as he said, “Did you forget? I knew I wouldn’t be able to count on you,” he said angrily.
“You and I are getting married. You know what that means, right? I am the future son-in-law of the Maheswara Family and as your husband, I always try to help your family, help your father’s company. But what about you? What can you give me?”
“Haikal, what are you talking about?”
Indri did not understand what Haikal’s words meant.
They were both engaged and were about to get married because she loved Haikal and Haikal loved her. Why was Haikal suddenly talking about profit?
.....
Haikal was also shocked and realized that he said the wrong thing. After that, he immediately corrected it. “Of course I married you because I love you. But the marriage of our two families involves the benefit of both parties,” he tried to explain as best he could.
Indri felt a little calmer when she heard the explanation. But when she recalled that her father refused to help Haikal, Indri fell silent again.
She didn’t know how to explain it to Haikal.
After hesitating for a long time, Indri finally tried to answer, “I already told dad...”
“Did he agree?” Haikal looked full of hope. He really needed help on this matter.
Indri’s voice turned quieter as she answered, “Father said it was related to company profits, so...”
“So your father doesn’t want to help me?” Haikal immediately shouted loudly.
He didn’t expect that the Maheswara Family would be this cruel to him, refusing to lend a hand when his company fell into trouble.
The Maheswara Family did not want to help their future son-in-law.
“Haikal, don’t be angry yet,” Indri tried to calm him down. She winked at Merry and walked out of the jewelry store.
Outside the shop, Indri covered her cell phone and whispered to her mother. “Mother, please persuade father. Haikal is angry with me. It’s not easy to get him and I can’t lose him.”
Even though she had to use various means to defend Haikal, Indri didn’t want to let go of the man she worked so hard for.
As long as Haikal was by her side, she felt far superior to Ella. She managed to snatch something very precious to Ella.
Merry frowned. It’s not that she doesn’t want to help Haikal, but that her husband doesn’t want to. She was completely uninvolved in the affairs of the company so she couldn’t do anything.
Indri realized the doubt on Merry’s face and immediately looked for an excuse to temporarily end the call.
“Mother, do you want me to lose Haikal?” Indri looked angry. “If you didn’t insist on letting Ella live from the start, how could all of this have happened? If she died, we wouldn’t be in this kind of trouble now!”
“I told you not to talk about this matter anymore!” Merry also felt annoyed with her daughter’s attitude.
Indri was right, she regretted the decision. But what good was there to regret things that had already happened?
At that time, she never expected that Ella would be released from the mental hospital after five years had passed.
Indri was happy to see that her mother also hated Ella. She immediately took her mother’s hand and begged, “I’m not going to talk about it again. But please, you have to help me. I beg you.”
“Do you think I won’t help you?”
Merry looked at Indri and said, “Go home first. I will try to talk to your father one more time. Who knows if he will agree this time.”
“Is that true?”
“Do we have any other choice now?”
Merry grabbed Indri’s hand and asked her to go to their car. “Now let’s go home. If you don’t want to lose Haikal, just do what I said.”
Merry took her daughter’s hand and said sincerely, “Indri, I am the one who wants to see you happy the most.”
As a mother, of course she would give anything for her daughter’s happiness.
...
-At Christian’s house.
In the morning, Ella left with Christian and left Nathan alone at home. Having not seen Ella for a long time, Nathan became worried.
In front of him were various kinds of toys, but he was no longer interested in them.
“Butler, why hasn’t the old woman returned yet?”
He had just turned and asked the butler who had always accompanied him, but his question was swallowed up by the sound of a car coming from outside.
Before the butler could answer, Nathan had already jumped off the sofa and was running outside.
It wasn’t until the car pulled up to Christian’s door that Ella could calm down a bit.
“Christian, may I take this necklace off?” Ella still felt how heavy the necklace was around her neck.
She wanted to return this necklace to Liam.
After all, she didn’t do anything to tease Liam. Why should she be punished unfairly like this?
“Just use it. It looks good.”
Christian is still the same as before. He glanced at Ella and said it casually.
But Ella doesn’t believe what’s on the surface because what Christian hides deep inside is something she probably doesn’t want to find out.
Christian could see Ella’s hesitation at this point. But he wanted to teach Ella a lesson not to look at another man beside him.
“Christian?”
Ella felt like crying. She didn’t want to wear this necklace.
By the time she wanted to plead again, Christian had already opened the car’s door and left.
Ella hurried after him in brisk steps.
But before she could speak, she was hit by someone.
“Old woman, you are finally back!”
Nathan rubbed his head against Ella’s shirt with satisfaction, smelling the scent of Ella’s body. He found that he liked Ella’s scent more and more.
Nathan hugged Ella and didn’t allow her to take another step so Ella could only look at Christian.
“Christian...”
Ella called out to him quite loudly, but Christian didn’t intend to turn his head. He immediately entered the house quickly, leaving Ella without saying anything.
The butler who was chasing after Nathan could feel the chill between the two of them. He approached Ella and asked, “Miss, did something happen?”
“That... It’s hard to explain.” The necklace she was wearing around her neck was getting heavier.
Ella knew that there was no point in telling anyone this problem.
Right now, the most important thing to her was to explain everything to Christian.
If Christian didn’t allow it, she wouldn’t be able to get this necklace off her neck.
