Love's Tangled Web (Alex and Ellie) novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73 

“Trash, and you still dare to be so arrogant!” Lacey picked up her juice and splashed it at Haley 

“Ah!” Accompanying a scream, Haley was splashed with juice all over her face by Lacey. She retreated in a disheveled manner to avoid t 

Seeing the people around them looking over, Haley’s face turned pale with anger. “Lacry, don’t think that just because you have the Mosley family backing you up. I can’t deal with you!” 

Lacey scoffed, Trash, bring it on if you dare!” 

ry and opened her phone’s photo album, shoving it right in Haley’s face. “If you don’t leave now. I let 

Ellie blocked Haley from approaching Lacey everyone see how malicious you are!” 

“Ellie, you bitch, you just wait Haley, at a disadvantage, could only swallow her anger and leave for the time being 

In the afternoon, after parting ways with Lacey, Ellie returned to her apartment. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Haley standing 

at her door 

Haley had changed her clothes and reapplied her makeup meticulously. Standing in front of Ellie in high heels, she exuded confidence. “Ellie, I know you’re short on money. Name your price, and I’ll buy those videos and photos!” 

Ellie ignored her and entered her room 

*I know you want to sell yourself at a high price, but Alex doesn’t even want you!” Haley taunted. 

Sering Ellie’s outright refusal without a second thought, Haley’s 

y said angrily. “Ellie, don’t be ungrateful What’s the point of keeping that evidence? If you dare expose those things, Alex will never let you off!” 

Ellie was indifferent “What can be do to me if he doesn’t let me 

he off? Kill me? 

Haley said, “Alex knows I’m the one who hurt you like this, but instead of blaming me, he comforted me. Now everyone knows you’re a homewrecker; everyone knows you seduced Alex and he used you. You.” 

With a loud bang, Ellie’s door shut Haley had no outlet for her anger. 

Standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, Ellie quietly looked at her reflection 

For half a year, she wore a hat, sunglasses, and a mask every day. She wore them to work, off work, and even during her breaks. 

People looked at her strangely, gossiped about her behind her back, tested her, played pranks by hiding her hat, and mischievously removed her mask. She gritted her teeth and endured it all. 

Ellie was clearly kind–hearted, always considering others in everything she did. She would rather suffer losses herself than owe anyone, yet the 

world had never been kind to her. 

Only she knew that she had cried herself breathless on countless nights 

A few minutes later. Ellie came out of the bathroom. She rummaged through her wardrobe and pulled out a men’s white shirt. 

The shirt was very clean, but there were several noticeable cuts on the back. Ellie stared at the white shirt in her hands, unusually quier 

Many years ago, Alex’s parents took her and Alex on a trip together. She got separated from the group because she was playing around and encountered a gang of human traffickers. 

In the evening, when Ellie was being transferred by the traffickers, Alex found her. His eyes were red as he called her name and rushed forward to hold her. He didn’t let go even as the traffickers beat him 

Ellie cried out of fear. He sternly told her, “If you cry anymore, I’ll leave you behind?” 

Later, she and Alex were rescued. It was only when they were taken to the hospital that Ellie found out Alex had not only broken his right arm but also suffered three deep knife wounds on his back, each cut to the bone. 

Even so, he held on to her tightly until the very end. 

She was well aware that Alex didn’t love her, but there was indeed a moment when she truly felt his care.

Chapter 73 

Pulling herself back to reality. Ellie threw the white shirt in her hands into the trash can and tied up the garbage bag 

In the evening. Ellie, wearing a hat and a mask, went out to have dinner with Aaron and took the trash downstairs with her. 

“Aaron, wait for me a moment. I’ll just throw out the trash,” she said to Aaron 

Downstairs, as Elhe was about to leave with Aaron after throwing away the trash, they saw Alex’s Rolls–Royce Silver Chost pull up right in front of them before stopping. 

Elle looked at Aaron with concer 

“Don’t worry,” Aaron reassured her, pulling Ellie back. 

Alex got out of the car and walked straight up to Aaron. The two men locked eyes, while Alex’s peripheral vision fell on Ellie’s tightly covered face. He felt an inexplicable sense of oppression in his chest. 

Seeing that Ellie hadn’t looked over. Alex subtly shifted his gaze back to Aaron. 

“Aaron, Fim giving you two options either delete those videos and photos, or keep them hidden forever!” Alex’s face darkened as he slowly warned. “If you dare to release a single photo that hurts Haley, I will make sure you lose everything you have!” 

Aaron looked careless. “Whatever you say, I won’t take either of those paths.” 

Pausing for a moment. Aaron continued, “As long as you or your fancée dare to harm Ellie again. I will not hesitate to let these things serve purpose to the fullest. I believe in the fairness anil justice of the law!” 

“Aaron, don’t think that just because you’re wearing that uniform, you can uphold justice!” A heavy sarcasm escaped Alex’s nasal tone. His contemptuous gare swept up and down Aaron’s prosecutor uniform.
