CHAPTER 250: BEING TAKEN TO THE MAIN MANSION

Ella shook off the pink bubbles around her and looked at him, "Soon, we will have our final exams. After that, we can come back here... Only if you also take a break."

And Adrian agreed to her words without batting an eyelid.

Ji Yan was already outside the condominium by the time the both of them walked out.

And Ella was relieved to see him.

Everything aside, she needed to ask him about Ruby and her mother.

The moment she mentioned them, Ji Yan went quiet.

After a minute of silence, he finally opened his mouth.

"Hospital?" Ella frowned, "How could he end up in hospital out of nowhere?"

Ji Yan shook his head, "I haven’t looked into the matter. But if you want me to..."

"Yes, please," Ella said without hesitation.

It was only right for Ji Yan to not investigate the affairs of the Ambrose family because first, they were unrelated to Adrian and second, Ji Yan only acted on Adrian’s orders.

However, Ella needed to know.

No matter what, Mr. Ambrose was a tough nut to crack.

How could he end up at a hospital suddenly? And he even managed to make Mrs. Ambrose go there...

Was it a scheme or was it all real?

...

In the City Hospital.

"Ruby," Ella grabbed Ruby’s shoulder and twirled her around.

"I am fine," Ruby stopped her, "Why are you here?"

Ella was about to speak when she spotted Mrs. Ambrose at a little distance, standing in front of a hospital room with tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Adrian was heading to work so I asked them to drop me here..." Ella dragged Ruby to an isolated corner, "What exactly is going on?"

Ruby shook her head, "I don’t know."

"His injuries..."

"They are real," Ruby clarified, seeing the visible doubt in Ella’s eyes.

"Are you staying here then?" Ella asked suddenly.

Ruby fell silent for a moment before she opened her mouth, "Mom won’t leave him alone in such a condition. I will stay here..."

Seeing the concern on Ella’s face, Ruby continued, "He seems to be in a half crippled state.’’

Ella fell into contemplation. Who would do something like this? Was it really an enemy or...?

For some reason, Ronan’s face flashed in Ella’s mind. But in the next moment, she denied that thought.

Ronan might seem like a problematic person but he was a doctor after all.

His job was to save people, he wouldn’t go around harming someone so heinously, would he?

Regardless of anything, Ella had no pity for people like Mr. Ambrose.

His current state might be pathetic but considering the way he has been treating Mrs. Ambrose and Ruby over the years, Ella felt no sympathy.

She stayed with Ruby for a while. Before leaving, Ella handed Ruby something.

"What... is this?" Ruby glanced at the bunch of keys in her hands.

"They keys to my apartment. I have already sent you the address. It’s closer to the Ambrose Manor, compared to the Eve Mansion."

Ruby glanced at the keys in her hand, the rims of her eyes reddening.

Ella hugged her, "I am always there for you, Ruby. As for the keys... you can treat them as the backup."

Just as Ella turned to leave, Ruby spoke up, "Why...?"

Ella halted in her tracks.

"Why are you treating me so well?"

"When have I not treated you well?" Ella looked at the girl with a raised brow.

Ruby pursed her lips.

Ella choked on the air. After letting out a series of coughs, she finally murmured, "What happened in the past doesn’t count. I was a pig back then..."

"So maybe, this time I get to fix all my wrongdoings," The playful expression on Ella’s wavered for a moment.

But the moment Ruby looked at her, her expression was back to normal.

’This is just the beginning, Ruby. One by one, you are going to let go of everything that destroyed you in the previous life.’

On her way back to the Eve Mansion, Ella got a call from ’Lilac’.

More specifically, it was a call from Jerome, the Vice President’s younger brother.

"Miss Yu, the first batch of samples are ready. Throughout the process, we have kept your points in mind. The ingredients have been simple and the key ingredients were also picked according to what you suggested..."

"The rest of the formulation was handled by the team."

"That’s great," Ella couldn’t help but admire their efficiency.

It hasn’t been long since she visited them in the Westra City.

She had expected them to take a couple more months to finish the preparations.

Yet, they had formulated the products so quickly.

No wonder, the brand ’Lilac’ reached the peak in skincare business a few years from now.

"But Miss Yu, the Vice President is concerned..." Jerome spoke up again.

"Oh? About what?" Ella leaned back on the car seat.

"The past products of our brand have been flashy and luxurious but this time, not only are the formulas simple, the products are also plain..."

"We have already discussed this once before but I have no issues in discussing it again with you brother in the future."

"That will be good," Jerome paused, "What about the promotion? Although you have given the word that you will work with us to make these products reach the right audience this time, the Vice President is concerned that your lack of experience might cause a trouble in it. Miss Yu, he... wants to know more about your plans."

A small smile quirked on Ella’s lips, "It seems like the Vice President really does want to know everything."

"Miss Yu, that..."

"I understand his concerns. But since it is a partnership, he needs to put more faith in me."

"But..."

Ella cut the man off without hesitation this time, "I have limited knowledge in the formulation aspect or the management part so I haven’t meddled in it. So, it is only fair if he doesn’t meddle in what I want to do..."

After she finished speaking, Ella hung up.

At this moment, the cab pulled off in front of the mansion gates.

Before Ella could cross the mansion gates, a familiar voice halted her in her tracks.

Ella turned around.

"Miss Yu, I am here to take you to the main mansion," The Old Butler of the Mansion bowed to Ella.
