Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Chapter 704: Ella Bailey



Elsa was taken aback.

It wasn't that she thought it was wrong for Tina not to repay the money; after all, she had never expected anything in return when she helped them.

But now, with Tina stating it so seriously, Elsa thought Tina still scorned them.

Elsa pursed her lips and said, "When I helped you, I never thought about getting anything back."

Tina glanced at her but didn't speak.

Then, Tina took out her phone and dialed a number, "Send three cars over, I'll text you the address."

Upon hearing this, Elsa's expression changed, "Miss Reed, what are you trying to do?"

Tina put away her phone and said, "I'm moving you to a different place."

Elsa hugged Sally close and looked at Tina warily, "Miss Reed, I haven't done anything to offend you. I even helped you twelve years ago, why are you making things difficult for me?" Elsa's in-laws hurried over to her side, glaring at Tina.

Her husband stared at Tina, helpless.

"Making things difficult for you?"

Tina said.

It seemed she recalled something, and then added, "Sorry, I wasn't clear. I'm not planning on paying you back. I want to arrange a new place for you to live; this place is too small and not suitable." Elsa was embarrassed, "Sorry, I thought you were..."

Over the years, many had targeted them, and when Elsa heard that Tina wanted to move them, she thought Tina was up to something.

Tina said, "No worries, I have a villa in the capital that I never used. You can live there, and once you're settled, I'll transfer the ownership to you."

The villa was a gift from Ian. She had refused it, but he insisted on giving it to her, and she had no choice but to accept it.

She had intended to buy another one, but seeing Elsa's current situation, buying a new one would take days, and they couldn't stay here any longer; it was disheartening.

Her benefactor shouldn't have to live in such a place.

"No, no!"

Elsa immediately refused, "I only helped you a little back then, I can't accept such a big favor."

Elsa's in-laws also quickly added, "Yes, girl, thank you for your kindness, but we are fine here."

They knew the principle of not accepting rewards without merit.

Although Elsa had helped Tina in the past, giving them a villa was too much.

"You deserve it."

Tina said earnestly, "If it weren't for your help back then, I don't know if my mother and I could have survived. Don't refuse."

Elsa sighed softly, "You are a grateful girl, but I really can't accept this villa. Not to mention the expensive maintenance fees we might not afford every month, we might not be able to keep it."

Tina narrowed her eyes, "Is someone in the capital causing you trouble?"

Jennie had mentioned some things, but initially, since she didn't know Elsa was the benefactor from back then, she hadn't paid attention.

Now, recalling Elsa's current plight, it must be because someone was troubling them.

Elsa's eyes lowered, "I trusted the wrong person, Miss Reed, and I am grateful that you remember what happened years ago and are willing to repay it, but I really can't accept it. All I hope for now is for my family to live." "Who is it?"

Tina asked sternly.

"Don't ask, they... are not to be provoked," Elsa said, her voice tinged with sadness.

Just as Tina was about to speak, an ironic voice came from outside, "Oh, Elsa, do you have guests? I didn't expect someone would still visit your house in such dire times."

Elsa's face changed, and she hurried outside to see the newcomer, her face full of anger, "Ella Bailey, I've already repaid you. What more do you want?"

Tina turned around and saw a woman in her thirties, followed by several bodyguards, her face exuding arrogance.

"I just came to see if you, having sold your blood to pay off debts, are still alive. I'm here to collect your corpse!"

Upon hearing this, Elsa's in-laws' faces changed, "Elsa, you sold your blood?"

Holding her mother-in-law's hand, Elsa explained, "Mom and Dad, I had no choice but to sell my blood. With my job, I can't even make fifty thousand a week." "You silly child, fifty thousand? How much blood do you have to sell? Do you care nothing for your health?"

Elsa's mother-in-law burst into tears.

"What sins have our family committed for heaven to be so blind and torment us like this?"

"It's okay, I just need some rest, but these next few days, I'll need you and Dad to take care of Austin," Elsa reassured them.

"There's no trouble at all with family," Elsa's mother-in-law replied.

"You, especially, must not go back to work now. You need to rest properly."

"Tsk, tsk, even in these circumstances, you still coddle this harbinger of doom," Ella Bailey said, arms crossed and an air of superiority about her.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Elsa turned and glared at her, angrily retorting, "Please leave our home. You are not welcome here!"

"You think I want to be in this dump?"

Ella Bailey responded, covering her nose disdainfully.

"It reeks here. If it weren't for the formula you have, I wouldn't bother coming."

"I've told you before, I'd rather die than give you the formula!"

Elsa snapped back fiercely.

"Elsa, don't be foolish. The Dyer family is already ruined. The formula won't do you any good in your hands. Over the years, what kind of life has your family led? Give me the formula, and not only will you get fifty thousand, but you could also move to a better place and even find a respectable job," Ella Bailey tempted.

"What good does opposing me do for you?"

Remembering all the hardships of the past years, a pang of pain struck Elsa's heart. She glared at Ella Bailey with loathing.

"I was foolish and young once, didn't listen to my parents, and trusted Luke Gill. It led not only to the ruin of my family but also to their unrest even in death. Ella Bailey, what goes around comes around. You won't have it easy either." "Ha ha!"

Ella Bailey laughed heartily.

"Do you think heaven really cares? If it did, would you still be unable to escape my grasp?"

Ella Bailey stepped forward, stopping just a step away from Elsa.

"Just hand over the formula, and your life might get a bit easier. Otherwise, your days will only get harder from today."

"Over my dead body!"

Elsa clenched her teeth.

Ella Bailey, unangered but amused, retorted, "You think by not giving it to me, you can save yourself? I'd like to see how much blood you need to sell next time to get out of trouble!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Elsa's in-laws and smirked, "Your husband is already bedridden. If your in-laws end up the same, perhaps your life might improve."

Elsa immediately shielded her in-laws behind her.

"If you have an issue, take it up with me. Leave them out of this!"

"Target you? What's the point? Your heart is as hard as iron. Even with your husband paralyzed from an accident, you won't hand over the formula. So let's see how it feels to have the whole family bedridden!" With that, Ella Bailey signaled her bodyguards with a glance.

The bodyguards moved to seize Elsa's in-laws, but as one of them reached out, his hand was abruptly grabbed. A chilling voice followed, "Think your life is too long?"
