CHAPTER 184 - Counterattack, can't easily collapse the persona
Ella knew that she really couldn't expect anything less from Eden, the man.
She just can take minutes.
It makes the good feelings you have for him, go up in smoke.
......
the Summer's Villa.
Cendy hung up the phone and hurriedly packed up and got up.
It's not good to be late for wedding photos today.
She quickly changed her clothes and rushed out of the bedroom, obviously in a bit of a hurry.
It's because of a message from Bowen saying that he's already waiting for her at the door.
She didn't want Bowen to wait too long for her.
Cendy, somewhat quick on her feet, suddenly bumped up against someone for a moment as she rounded the corner of the hallway.
She literally had, like, a concussion from the crash.
Her entire body was still under the force of the rebound, and she hit the wall.
Gold stars in front of my eyes.
"How are you ......"
The man who had collided with her in front of her asked worriedly, and at the moment apparently stepped forward, trying to reach out to see where she was hurt.
"Don't you touch me!" Cendy suddenly yelled.
Winston's hand, just froze in mid-air.
He dropped his hand in embarrassment.
"Do you need me to call a doctor for you?"
"No need." Cendy barely managed to bring herself, back to her senses.
The heart is upset to the core.
She grasped at the fact that since Winston's return, she'd had repeated encounters with him, and she'd collided with him again and again.
It's Winston's ghost in the end.
Or she's just had a bad run of luck for a while!
She looked straight at Winston.
Look at him still wearing the white shirt he had on when he left the house last night.
There were clearly some traces of foundation on the shirt.
It's just, the woman's face foundation, rubbing off on his clothes, it's obvious.
And the foundation was positioned just at the shirt pocket on his chest.
That is, just about where the heart is.
Cendy pretends not to see it.
Anyway.
Winston is an adult too.
It's not unusual for a grown single man to get a hooker once in a while.
It's better than, when the libido comes, to commit a crime.
She had, in fact, always looked at these things with great indifference.
She always felt that since people were divided into three, six, nine classes.
Then naturally, there are, three, six, nine ways to live.
As long as it's not something that's hurtful, as long as it's something you're willing to do, there's nothing to criticize.
She walked past Winston.
Winston didn't say another word either, and naturally, wasn't likely to be approaching her on his own accord.
He just felt it, Cendy's cold, aloof figure, walking coldly by.
It was completely different from the eagerness that filled his face just now.
Also right.
Going to see Bowen, how could it be the same.
When he returned, he saw Bowen waiting for Cendy at the door.
The first thing Winston did when he got back into bed was to take off the clothes he was wearing and throw them in the trash, then go back, take a shower, and change into his loungewear.
Last night.
He and Jonas went to a nightclub for drinks.
Both had a little too much to drink.
Winston doesn't really drink very well and gets drunk after Jonas's forceful attack.
Too drunk to be clear.
After all, with Jonas, there was no defense.
Anyway, the pro would not harm him.
Harm is not going to harm him.
But he forgets that Jonas does things and is completely unreliable.
And so he was, sent to the hotel by Jonas with a woman.
He didn't even know how he left the nightclub and how he ended up inside a room with a strange woman.
He woke up to see the woman removing the robe she was wearing.
Probably just got out of the shower and was about to ......
He roused himself from the bed in a hurry.
Inside his head, he vaguely remembers Jonas saying, after getting him drunk on one last drink, "There's not much a buddy can do to help you get to heaven for once. When you get to heaven you'll realize how unworthy it is to give up a forest for a crooked tree."
At first he didn't know what Jonas was muttering.
The moment was clearly all clear.
He didn't say a word and just shooed the woman away.
And gave her a hush money.
It's that he doesn't want to be cornered by Jonas.
And don't want to waste time trying to explain it to Jonas.
Whisking the woman away, he didn't leave the hotel.
After all, at that time, it was already 3 o'clock in the evening, plus although he had sobered up a large part of the wine at that time, his body was still a little difficult because of drunkenness, so he simply slept in the hotel.
Once you sleep, you sleep until that point and come back.
Come back and bump into Cendy and run to Bowen with gusto.
He sat down in front of his dedicated computer.
Sometimes it's just really about relying on these dense codes to get yourself to forget, or even repress, everything.
......
Monday.
Ella goes to work.
Tell the truth.
She found it easier to go to work than to bring it under one roof with Eden.
She really didn't know how in the world Mr. Adams put up with Eden's torment when she wasn't in Eden's villa.
She walked into Ford Tower.
Make your way down the hall and back to your office.
Countless gazes were cast out around them, obviously, with the wrong eyes.
Ella sat in her office chair.
Wilson reporting back.
End of report.
Wilson said, "Got word that Alice will be bringing Wendy to the launch of the Silverstein Group shopping district project today. she ate her words at Linda's launch, so something big should be coming next."
"Did you find out if it's true that Silverstein Group's shopping district was built?" Ella asked.
"It's true. At first when you asked me to check it out, I went to the local authorities to inquire about it, that parcel of land Silverstein Group has indeed negotiated, but did not go to the Planning Department to report what is going to be built, is yesterday afternoon, I urgently received my side of the insiders to take out the news, said that it was the weekend, that side of the Silverstein Group put the project to allow the developer to circle the approved That means that the Silverstein Group is now in the process of getting the developer's circle approved. That means that Silverstein Group is indeed going to build a shopping center there now, it's not smoke and mirrors." Wilson reported.
Ella was silent in thought.
So.
Alice was really pushed by her and started to get real.
At first, she might have thought that she could kill her with empty gloves, that is, without building an actual shopping district out and spending a lot of money, but suddenly she realized that she couldn't now. Because obviously, with her relationship with Linda, Linda will definitely say yes to moving into One World Tower, and she'll just have to go out on a limb and actually game Ella with an actual shopping district.
Alice is still really hurting people and herself in order to suppress her.
The way the Silverstein Group is going now, upscale shopping districts were not supposed to be something they were comfortable with.
In doing so, she most likely caused the Silverstein Group to be mismanaged!
Especially so aggressively.
Of course, she's not at all nice.
Since Alice had fought tooth and nail to keep her from having a good time, it was only natural that she would do the same and give her a run for her money.
She gave a look for Wilson to get out.
Not that she didn't trust Wilson.
There were just some less-than-savory tactics, and she didn't need to let everyone know about them.
She has her face too.
Personality-wise, it's better not to fall apart so completely.
