Great Chance

"Ella, what are you doing?"

"Isabella!" Budi approached his daughter and immediately slapped her hard in the face. "Are you trying to embarrass me again? I know you shouldn't have gotten out of the asylum! I don't have an ingrate daughter like you. Get out now!"

The slap was so sudden that Ella didn't have time to dodge it. It was loud enough to make Ella's ears ring. Her cheeks were red and slightly swollen.

The corners of her lips cracked and oozed some blood.

However, she instead sneered and turned around suddenly. Her black eyes landed on the man she called father. "If I look back, the place where you live now belongs to my mother. You should be the one to get out of here."

This time, it was Merry's turn to step forward. Her voice was sharp and filled with hatred. "Isabella, I guess you'd been in the mental hospital for too long that you turned out this crazy. Are you talking about this house? This house is in your father's name. Where's your brain?"

"I suggest you leave immediately now. Don't make me more embarrassed. Today is your sister's happy day. Your arrival will only bring bad luck. Go now!" A guilty expression crossed Budi's face as he continued in a cold voice.

"Bad luck?" Suddenly, Ella smiled seductively. Her eyes looked around her and finally landed on Haikal who had been silent all this time. "You were so excited when you kissed me earlier. Do you also think I am bad luck?"

"Ella, stop! It's enough!" Anger made the veins on Haikal's forehead appear. It was obvious that he was nervous.

"What? You don't want to admit what you just did? Does it taste the same as five years ago, Haikal?" Ella teased Haikal in a spoiled voice.

At that moment, some of the guests began to notice the commotion and pay attention.

Before Haikal could react, Indri walked up to him and held him. "Quickly persuade her to leave immediately."

"Get out of here. We don't accept you."

Everyone in the Maheswara Family was worried about chaos, especially on an important day like this.

"Isn't this the first daughter of the Maheswara Family, Isabella Maheswara?"

"That's right. Five years ago, she was admitted to a mental hospital. Everyone forgot about her. To think she's still as beautiful as ever…"

"The Maheswara family is very lucky. They have two daughters and both are beautiful."

Voices began to be heard from the crowd. Budi had to turn and smile at these people. After that, he walked over to Ella, took her hand and lowered his voice. "What do you want?!"

"I want to get back what is mine," Ella said with a smile, taking the initiative to wave her hand at the guests.

In an instant, she had become the center of attention because of her beauty.

Budi had no other choice but to let Ella be there. He couldn't kick his own daughter out of the house, not to mention during their family event.

If he threw Ella out in front of everyone, what would people say?

Not far from there, Christian caught a glimpse of the "warm" family reunion before him.

Of course, Christian already knew everything.

From the start, Ella had seen Indri walking with her parents to approach her. Even a smile of success appeared on Ella's face.

The woman did it all on purpose.

Christian did not think that the woman was very intelligent. She could use little tricks and play tricks on everyone to get the attention of the guests.

Christian looked down at his glass, trying to suppress a smile. From the water in the glass, his handsome face radiated a cunning smile on his sexy lips.

This woman was really attractive…

Ella stood there alone with a smile on her face even when her hands were tightly clenched into fists. She looked around and swore to herself that she would take everything that was rightfully hers.

She would reclaim everything that belonged to her.

This was just the beginning!

—One week later.

Even at night, the city center still looked very busy.

In a five-star hotel, precisely in the presidential suite, the sound of splashing water could be heard from the bathroom.

After finishing his shower, Christian came out of the bathroom with a white bathrobe wrapped around his body.

As soon as he lifted his head, he saw the bare back of a woman lying on her bed. Her long hair fell over her body.

She covered her lower waist with a blanket and left her upper waist, making her look very sexy. The outline of her body was faintly visible under the blanket.

From Christian's point of view, the woman looked very sexy and charming.

"Quickly get out of here."

Christian didn't look at her a second time. He immediately walked over to the sofa and lifted the glass of wine that had been poured for him. He sat and enjoyed it while relaxing.

He said this in a very light tone as if he was discussing the weather today.

"Indeed, as the rumors say, you are very difficult to understand."

The woman slowly woke up from the bed. She turned her beautiful face and smiled. There was not the slightest fear in her tone of voice.

A second later, she turned her head and their eyes immediately met. The smile on her face instantly hardened.

Why should it be him?

"It's you. It seems hard to get rid of you." When Christian saw the woman's face clearly, his thin lips curled into a smile.

"I apologize. I didn't know it was you."

Ella immediately covered her body with the blanket that was on the bed. Her eyes immediately darkened and her voice was not like before.

Originally, she had gotten a chance from someone to become a 'gift' to the most important person of City X. It took her a week to get this opportunity.

Ella knew very well what she had to do. If she wanted to take revenge and rise again to fight the people who had hurt her, she needed a strong backer. Standing alone wouldn't be able to make her bring those people down.

There was no doubt that Christian Adipamungkas, the leader of the city, was the most appropriate and safest choice for her.

But she didn't expect that Christian Adipamungkas was actually the man who almost ran her over before!

"Isabella Maheswara. Has your pride fallen so low that you sell your body carelessly?"

Christian put down his wine glass and got to his feet, walking over to Ella who was on the edge of the bed. He said it while laughing casually.

The laughter sounded like mockery to Ella's ears.

Ella frowned. She lifted her head and looked into Christian's suspicious eyes, while her own eyes were filled with anger.

But she could not pass up this very important opportunity.

She had to get it all back.

She must find her missing son.

She must take revenge for every disaster that happened in her life.
