234 Ella and the Two Men
“I want to talk about cooperation with you,” Liam openly said. He knew what to do when he had to deal with Haikal.
He didn’t want to waste much time with this man in front of him so he went straight to the point of this meeting.
“What cooperation?” Haikal leaned back in his chair while taking his wine glass again and slowly twirling it.
“I will help you to take over the entire Maheswara Family. In exchange, give Ella’s mother’s house to Ella,” Liam said, showing his intention to meet Haikal in person.
Haikal’s eyes immediately lit up.
That is a very interesting offer. Haikal knew that the old house left by Ella’s mother was worthless. Why would Liam go to the trouble of helping her just to get a house that worths nothing at all.
Haikal raised his eyebrows suspiciously. “Which house do you want?”
Haikal was not a fool. He looked suspiciously at Liam’s face, feeling unsure that Liam would put such easy terms on such a grand partnership. It could be seen very clearly that this cooperation was far more profitable for Haikal than Liam.
Liam looked back at Haikal with a cold look in his eyes. “Ella and I are getting married later. Better get rid of that thought of yours.”
.....
“You?” Haikal’s eyes widened in disbelief. How did Liam get in touch with Ella again?
Haikal turned his gaze towards Ella and saw Ella sitting quietly. She seemed completely unconcerned with this conversation though she was actually listening. Her gaze looked as if she hadn’t thought of anything at all.

“Ella, do you know why I brought you here today?” Liam asked, looking at Ella’s face.
Ella raised her head, her gaze seemed a little lost.
She felt she didn’t deserve what Liam would give her. No need to guess. Ella knew that Liam would give the house to her.
“I wanted to tell you that you don’t have to treat yourself like this.”
Liam reached out to take Ella’s hand, as if to give her some warmth. “I will get what you want. When the time comes, you can leave Christian. Trust me. I will get the house as soon as possible.”
The smile was still on Liam’s face as he said it. The smile was the same as always, so gentle and soothing.
Ella looked at the smile and suddenly a tear rolled down her face.
If only the man she loved was Liam, she would definitely stay by Liam’s side, even after the matter with the Maheswara Family was over. Ella would stay by Liam’s side even if everyone was against their relationship.
But unfortunately, Ella didn’t love Liam.
Sometimes, Ella felt love was something silly. She couldn’t choose who she wanted to love, even though that person was perfect for her. Her heart was always pointing at the wrong person...
Haikal looked very jealous. He also wanted Ella. But he didn’t think that apart from Christian, he’d still have Liam as his rival.
The two of them were tough opponents for him.
Even so, he still didn’t want to hand Ella over to anyone. “Ella and I have a closer relationship. Why do you want to snatch her from me?”
“Why do you think Ella would want to come back to you?” Liam looked at Haikal with hatred. “Do you think your feelings for Ella are the same as my feelings for her?”
In his heart, Liam had already made up his mind. After he got the house left by Ella’s mother, the next thing he would do was take care of the Adisurya Family.
How much pain and suffering Haikal had done to Ella... He would make him pay without exception.
Liam’s words took Haikal by surprise. What does Liam really mean?
But when he thought about it carefully, Haikal’s feelings for Ella were not as sincere as Liam’s. Even when Ella used to love him in the past, Haikal didn’t care about her at all.
“Ella and I have always been together since childhood. We separated only because I had to move overseas,” Liam smiled. “She was dating you because she missed me.”
Hearing Liam’s words, there was surprise in Ella’s eyes. She just realized that Liam really knew her inside and out.
Haikal wanted to argue, but he couldn’t say anything. He and Liam were going to work together and he couldn’t show his distaste for Liam right now.
Now the profit for his company was more important than anything else.
Plus, Haikal himself was sure that Ella would choose him in the end. Because since entering the VIP room, Ella had never responded to Liam.
Just then, the waiter came to bring Liam’s coffee and dessert. Liam handed the plate of tiramisu to Ella. “Your favorite.”
Ella nodded and ate the dessert in silence. Her heart was so messed up that she couldn’t even hear the conversation between Liam and Haikal.
She only knew that the time to leave Christian was coming.
She could leave Christian anytime now.

Suddenly, Ella thought of Nathan. Perhaps this feeling arose because she did not want to be separated from Nathan. He was the one who made her feel sad.
The reason made Ella feel a little relieved.
She could also enjoy her tiramisu more calmly.
Liam’s gaze occasionally fell on Ella. Every time he looked at her, his eyes would look gentle. He stroked Ella’s head and said, “Eat slowly.”
Ella smiled and nodded.
While Ella was enjoying her meal, Liam and Haikal had also reached their agreement.
A satisfied smile appeared on Haikal’s face.
His grandfather had told him before that as long as he could gain complete control over the Maheswara Family, he could divorce Indri.
It seems, everything will be achieved faster with Liam’s help.
After their meeting was over, they walked out of the restaurant together. Ella frowned when she saw Nadia in front of her.
Nadia just wanted to find a place to have coffee and relax. This place is quite famous and many people recommend it so Nadia wants to visit it. She didn’t expect to meet Ella with two men in this place.
Nadia’s face looked calm, not showing any feelings. She also did not take the initiative to greet Ella as if she did not see her figure.
But Nadia remembered the faces of the two men beside Ella.
William Jaya and Haikal Adisurya.
‘How interesting,’ she thought.
