Chapter 48: Do you know some other Ella?
Ella calmly walked up to her seat, only to discover that her seatmate was staring at her with a new level of hatred.
His hatred yesterday had been glaring already but today, it was as glaring as the sun.
She only paused for a moment before taking a seat next to him.
On being given a cold shoulder like that, Kade’s lips curled down, ’’You... Hey you...’’
Ella avoided him for a couple of minutes before she gave him a look, ’’What is it?"
"Is your name really Ella?"
Ella mentally rolled her eyes. And unable to hold herself back, she did it visually too.
Kade glared at her, ’’It seems it really has something to do with the name, huh?" he mumbled, more to himself than others.
Ella was a bit intrigued, ’’Why? Do you know some other Ella?"
The man gave her a fleeting side-eye and refused to explain further. His freezed cards lying at home spoke enough of his tale.
"What a jinx.’’
Ella was enlightened. Seems like this guy suffered some loss because of her.
But logically, it shouldn’t have happened because he has not met her before.
If he did, he would have known that both the Ellas he was calling jinx were actually one person.
Ella’s attention did not linger on Kade for long.
Rather, she looked at the young and beautiful professor Jenny who had already started teaching like nothing happened.
The woman taught History but left their ’history’ undiscovered for a long time.
Ella tapped the pen on the textbook.
This woman could be easily considered one of the reasons for her downfall as a top model.
While her little sister’s contributions have been never-ending, she lacked real power to destroy her career back then.
However, this lady didn’t. It all happened with one encounter in a random meeting where this woman’s said rich ’father’ also came.
And accidentally, Ella discovered that that man was not Professor Jenny’s biological father, but rather, he was her sponsor, her sugar daddy.
The entertainment industry is fucked and while this came as surprise, it was forgotten by Ella within a night of her discovery.
Her one-track mind was focused on being an international supermodel and becoming worthy of marrying Max. How could she let random things distract her?
Who could have known that this woman would go to any extent to set her up?
In her previous life, she never figured things out at all. It just did not make sense to her even though she had initially doubted it.
After all, how would Jenny manage to get her whereabouts, small and big details about her and use them against her to set her up so smoothly?
Then, Adrian came into her life and whooshed her away to the Eve Mansion and she became more depressed. She simply turned off her brains.
Only when she died at Esther’s hand did everything make sense.
Jenny did not know her private details but her little sister did.
In her previous life, she had dismissed Jenny as irrelevant.
But sitting her, watching the woman teach like she hadn’t once crushed Ella’s entire career, something curled low in her stomach.
It was good that she wasn’t the same helpless and hopeless girl anymore.
’’So evil...’’ Kade mumbled, watching the small evil smile on Ella’s face.
Ella looked at him.
Kade glared at her, ’’From tomorrow onwards, sit anywhere except by my side.’’
’’Sitting here is not my choice,’’ Ella smiled wider, ’’How about this, young master? If you are that capable, just score better and get away from here.’’
Kade fell silent, his face gradually darkening.
The girls in the class were unilaterally jealous watching both the people interact with each other.
The god has recently showed up after so long but they have yet to find an opportunity to interact with him. Who could have known this infamous fatty would beat them all to it?
’’Class, silent!" Jenny’s words seemed to be directed at the class but her dark gaze was fixed on Ella for a moment before she looked away.
At her warning, the class got less chaotic.
But the undercurrents remained.
The university goddess who was sitting in the first bench looked at Ella from above her shoulder, her eyes unreadable.
Ella met her gaze and immediately flashed a genuine smile.
Kade got goosebumps, ’’What the fuck are you looking at her so creepily for?!"
’’What has it got to do with you? I am merely expressing my love through my eyes!"
Ruby turned her head away.
’’Eyes, my ass,’’ Kade cackled in a softer voice, ’’You freaked her out.’’
Kade had prepared himself for irritation when he resumed university but he hadn’t prepared for... whatever the hell this was.
What kind of freak show have I signed up for?
Ella shot him a deathly glare. Just you wait and watch how I use my seniority to crush your dusty cocky face!
After the classes, Ella looked for Ruby but the girl was nowhere to be seen.
Eventually, she grabbed her bag, ready to head out but then her path was blocked.
"Sister, your classes are finally over! It has been so long since we have had ice cream together. Let’s go now~" Esther naturally appeared in front of Ella and held her hand, swaying back and forth.
Ella laughed coldly in her heart.
That ’I am scheming against you. What can you do to me?’ subtitle on Esther’s face was so blinding that it made Ella wonder how blind she had been in her previous life that she was unable to see that.
’’If there is nothing urgent, we can do this some other day. I need to go back to my room and study.’’
How could Esther let her go just like that?
’’Sis, you have changed so much,’’ Esther pouted as she walked forward while holding her hand.
’’I have just learned to be more diligent in the things I do. Yes, a couple of bad things happened in the past and I cried and whined for a while. But if I cry over them for a lifetime, what kind of a life would I be living? So I have decided to work on myself and move on from these trifles. Why? You don’t like that? Or do you want me to be useless forever?"
