Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 359

Chapter 359: She is a replacement

Had it been her previous life, Mo Jun would have fought to death for Esther even after knowing her deeds. But in this life, he actually stayed silent after seeing Esther in this state.

"I believe in you and your judgement," Mo Jun said calmly.

But the single statement made many declarations.

Mo Jun knew Esther had wronged Ella on multiple occasions. He trusted Ella, beyond his own judgement. Most of all, he chose to side with his friend at this crucial moment.

This time, Mo Jun refused to act blind.

Ella’s eyes widened briefly before she inhaled a breath and looked at Esther, "Thanks."

Ella spoke to Mo Jun while looking at Esther.

"She just mentioned how you met, how she selflessly stayed for you when you were vulnerable..."

Esther’s eyelids trembled, her body twitching in the female bodyguard’s grip.

Mo Jun frowned, "Why... you..."

"I don’t know much except for the fact that the Esther I know wouldn’t do anything for anyone without any motives," Ella calmly declared, "Why don’t you revisit your encounter?"

"What nonsense are you spouting you... mmph!" Esther’s mouth was stuffed with a sock before she could utter another word.

Mo Jun remained stunned for a long time before he snapped out of his reverie. His face went pale at a sudden realization that hit him out of nowhere.

He staggered a few steps back.

Ella turned and patted on his shoulder, "I will take it from here."

As if shaking off a ghost from himself, Mo Jun snapped out of his trance and left the place with weak footsteps, without sparing Esther another glance.

Ella turned to Esther.

"Will you speak or not?"

The moment she spoke, the lady guard moved on cue.

With the sock stuffed in her mouth, Esther flinched and hurriedly nodded.

"You can leave," Ella waved her hands at the guards.

The moment Esther was freed, she got up on shaky legs and pulled out the sock stuffed in her mouth.

"What do you want to ask...?"

"I saw the diary I gifted you when we were young..." Ella noted the way Esther’s eyes widened slightly, "In that, you wrote how much you hated me. Why, I have never treated you badly...?"

"You..."

Ella cut Esther off, "This is something I would have asked you before. But now, I only want to know one thing. How is Lana connected to the Yu Family..."

Before Ella could even finish speaking, Esther burst out in a bout of maniacal laughter.

"Hahaha..." Esther clutched her stomach, laughing till the point tears welled up in her eyes, "Haha..."

Ella stood there silently, unfazed by the woman’s theatrics.

Gradually, Esther’s laughter died down. Her gaze was full of mockery as she looked at Ella, "So, that’s what you want to know. Fine... Fine... I won’t beat around the bush at all. I will tell you. I will even answer your previous question as well."
