Rebirth As Little Girl - Chapter 38: Chapter 38

When Ella Smith reached school, everyone was staring at her—some openly, some secretly. Ella didn’t give much importance to them and just went straight to her class. But when she reached the classroom, even there, everyone was looking at her with weird gazes.
Ignoring all of them, Ella sat down at her desk beside Aria While. But Aria was also looking at her angrily, her cheeks puffed in frustration.
“Ella, why did you lie to me? Didn’t you say yesterday that you wouldn’t have any connection with Lisa Brown and Jackson Bell anymore? Then why are your and Jackson Bell’s pictures all over the forum and… hmm…” Aria paused for a second, her cheeks puffing again.
Ella looked at Aria’s actions, dumbfounded. “What photos? What are you talking about?” she asked, confused.
Aria stared at her, shocked. The whole school had already seen those photos, and yet the main person involved didn’t even know anything about it.
She pulled out the new phone her mom had specially given her and showed Ella the photos posted on the school forum. Ella was also a little surprised. Most of the photos were from yesterday, but a few were from the past. The ones from yesterday were clearly taken from certain angles that made things look misleading. Anyone who saw them could easily mistake them for kissing photos.
Ella looked at Aria and explained, “These were all taken from weird angles. Yesterday, when Lisa Brown came to find me, she and Jackson Bell asked me to go chat on the school ground. But before we even got there, Lisa left, saying she lost her phone.
But there's no way Lisa took these pictures herself. It has to be the work of some professionals—probably hired by her.”
“That btch can never do anything decent. Always full of schemes against others. And that dog of hers—he’s a fcking bastard. Honestly, calling him a dog is an insult to dogs,” Aria snapped, cursing Lisa Brown and Jackson Bell.
Aria While cursed Lisa Brown and Jackson Bell. She was burning with anger now. In the past, Ella Smith had been infatuated with that idiot Jackson Bell, so she couldn’t do anything about it. But now that her friend was no longer obsessed with that bastard, she was definitely going to teach those two idiots a lesson.
On the other side, at the top floor of the Fu Empire, Alex Walker was staring coldly at the school forum. He looked at Ethan and said, “I want all the posts removed from the internet in five minutes. And in the future, nothing like that related to Ya Ya should ever appear online again.”
Ethan quickly nodded his head before leaving the office. When he had informed Alex about the post on the forum, he already knew the Young Master would lose his temper. As expected, the whole office was now frozen like ice. Miss Ella could easily affect their Young Master's mood.
Ethan couldn’t understand it—Miss Ella was completely normal until yesterday. Why had she suddenly become so dumb, chasing after that good-for-nothing boy? Their Young Master was rich, handsome, and talented, and many girls were dying to marry him. Yet the one girl he wanted to marry was now after a piece of trash?
After seeing those posts, Ethan knew it would be even harder now for Miss Ella to regain their Young Master’s trust. He must be really heartbroken this time.
While Ethan was thinking up all sorts of scenarios in his head, the person he was thinking about was now making special arrangements with a worried expression on his face.
“Prepare hotpot. Ella will have dinner at the villa tonight. And decorate the swing, especially.”
After giving out those instructions, Alex Walker ended the call and fell into deep thought. What should I do to make sure Ella never thinks about that guy again? Should I take her on vacation? Or should I just keep her at the villa, under house arrest, so she can only see me and think only about me?
Alex stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, his back facing the room. He looked very lonely. This time, he was trying hard to suppress the uneasiness and dark thoughts in his heart.
He knew those photos weren’t real—they were taken from special angles. But even knowing that, he still couldn’t control the jealousy and possessiveness raging inside him whenever he saw his Ya Ya standing next to that boy. He didn’t know what he should do to make her forget that guy completely. He really wanted to lock her up in his villa so she could only see him, so she could only think about him.
But the moment that thought crossed his mind, he quickly shook his head. No... I can’t hurt my Ya Ya. She’ll hate me if I do that. She’ll hate me forever. But I can’t let her stay away from me, either. At first, I wanted to wait until she turned eighteen before living together, but now... looking at the situation... I can’t wait anymore. I need to do something so she’ll stay with me willingly.
Thinking of something, he took out his phone to make a call. The person Alex Walker was calling was none other than James, his friend and personal doctor.
When the other party picked up the phone, he started talking without giving Alex Walker a chance to say anything.
“Hey, did your little fiancée try to harm herself again to break the engagement? Look, I’m telling you, I’ll treat your fiancée, but the condition is still the same—you have to invest in my project in return.”
“Can you not curse my fiancée?” Alex Walker said through gritted teeth, but the moment he said “my fiancée,” his tone softened noticeably, and a trace of tenderness clearly appeared in his voice.
“Okay, okay, my bad. I just thought something had happened to her again. So tell me, why did you call? Are you finally ready to invest in my research?” James asked, still not missing the chance to bring up his project.
“Do you have any drugs that can cause a fever?” Alex said, getting straight to the point.
“Yes, I have something that can cause a fever for three days. But why are you asking?”
“Good. Bring that drug and come to my office. Now.” Alex cut the call without giving James a chance to say another word.
