Uncle

"Miss, using this method to attract my attention will only disgust me even more."

Christian's voice sounded cold and cruel. His thin lips curled into a scornful smile as if Ella really disgusted him.

"Did you just get out of the hospital? If you are sick, you must be treated immediately. Don't forget to take your medicine."

Ella sneered and immediately rose to her feet from the ground. She felt so ridiculous for meeting a sick bastard when she had just come out of the hospital. More precisely, a mental hospital…

She thought the man in front of her was just as crazy as her.

"Since you are sick, I will forget about your rudeness just now."

Before Christian could answer, Ella patted the dust off her clothes and left the place. She was too lazy to deal with this madman.

She turned and walked towards the Maheswara Family's house arrogantly.

But for some reason, that arrogance looked very charming in Christian's eyes ...

Christian looked at Ella's back as she was getting further away. His previously cold smile gradually changed. Now that smile looked amused, as if he'd found something that caught his eye…

The melodious sound of a piano accompanied by the laughter of the crowd could be heard just as Christian arrived at the venue. His presence instantly made everyone speechless and stunned.

"Christian is coming," said several people with admiration.

"It really is Christian. The Maheswara family is really great for being able to invite such an important person."

"Of course. The Maheswara Family and Adisurya Family are pretty influential in this city. In addition, the Adisurya Family and the Adipamungkas Family are still cousins. Surely they work together too. Uh, but wait. Isn't the woman in front of Christian… Isabella?"

Such comments were heard from various directions, causing Haikal and Indri to set their sights on the intended direction. Just as they were about to greet Christian with joy, Ella appeared before them like a sudden bolt of lightning.

A great shock— that's how everyone felt.

They were all stunned to see Christian's arrival, but they were all more stunned when they saw Ella's presence.

Isabella Maheswara …

Why did she come here?

"Ella, why are you here?"

The person who spoke first was Haikal. His voice, which usually sounded very soft, sounded sinister this time. He reached out his hand to grab Ella's arm, but Ella immediately avoided it.

"Sis, why didn't you tell us that you were already discharged from the hospital? Dad will definitely pick you up."

Indri looked very calm as if she had predicted everything. She already knew that today Ella would be discharged from the hospital the same day as her engagement with Haikal.

She greeted Ella with a smile on her face as if she was the sweetest little sister, the sister who loved her big sister.

However, Ella could see the hypocrisy on that face. She really wanted to step forward and tear it apart with her own hands.

"Haikal, today I came to ask you a few things."

Ella ignored the sweet words of her step sister. Her black eyes looked at Haikal blankly as she said that. Her voice was flat, devoid of any emotion.

"I don't think there's anything to talk about between the two of us." Haikal's handsome face looked very annoyed at Ella's arrival. He didn't want to talk to her.

"Is that true? You don't want to talk to me, huh? Then, let's just talk about it in front of everyone."

Ella sneered as she said that. She held her head high. And in a clear and sweet voice, she made a cold threat.

The sentence immediately caught the attention of Indri and Haikal. Today was their engagement day. If Ella caused trouble, they would be the ones at a loss.

"Sis, I know you and Haikal grew up together since childhood. But you guys have been separated for a long time. Now he will marry me, so don't make trouble. How about calling dad? If you're still sick, dad will take you back to the hospital."

Indri had a hypocritical smile on her face. Her words were so sharp but embellished with such gentleness that it made others unaware of what was wrong.

But Indri deliberately wanted to dig up the wound in Ella's heart.

"You know Haikal and I have been separated for a long time. What are you worried about now? I just wanted to talk to him for a bit."

Ella saw Indri's hand that was holding Haikal's arm tightly. A sneer appeared at the corner of her lips again. She was disgusted to see them.

"You…!"

Those words seemed to provoke Indri's anger, making the mask on her face slightly crack, showing her hatred.

"Okay, let's talk."

Finally, Haikal decided to give in. His parents and Indri's parents were still greeting guests in the back so he decided to sort it out himself. He moved for a thin kiss on Indri's forehead and calm her down. And then he went and looked for a quiet place with Ella.

Christian saw all this very clearly. He just stood aside and watched in silence.

"Boss, isn't this the woman who made us late for our meeting? Should we leave now?"

Jason, the assistant, stood behind Christian and asked cautiously.

"We're already late. We'd better stay and watch an interesting show."

Christian said it while raising an eyebrow, and his voice was deep.

Now it was Jason's turn to be stunned. His boss was never interested in this kind of drama at all. It was the first time he wanted to stay and watch the gossip.

Christian flashed a faint smile. His brown eyes seemed to sparkle with light as he looked at Ella.

"Uncle Christian, don't worry. That woman is my sister. She didn't know that today was an engagement ceremony. She has lived in a mental hospital for the past five years. I'm really ashamed that he made such a mess," when Haikal and Ella left, Indri immediately turned her gaze to Christian and walked over to him.

From the family tree, Haikal and Christian's age were not far apart, but in terms of seniority, Christian was Haikal's uncle.

Indri called him 'Uncle Christian' in a very spoiled voice, deliberately trying to get his attention.

This was the mysterious leader of City X, Christian Adipamungkas!

With his handsome face, high nose bone, thin and sexy lips, also eyes that sparkle like diamonds, he looked both dangerous and charming.

His entire body emitted an aura that could attract everyone's attention. Not only women, but also men. His figure was like that of a model.

It was impossible to take one's eyes off such a figure.

The perfect man!

Indri looked stunned when she looked at him. Christian's presence made everyone there look hazy.

"Uncle? I don't remember having a niece like you."
