Chapter 12 " Help ! Help ! she screamed , trying to crawl away , but Ella grabbed her ankle and forcefully dragged her back ! " " Weren't you just being very arrogant ? Ella looked down at her , tapping her face lightly with the steel pipe , " Are you scared now ? " Sophie was trembling all over , with tears and snot covering her face , but she still tried to act tough : " If you dare to touch me , Cadoc won't let you off ! " Ella sneered and raised her hand , hitting her leg with an iron rod ! " Ah ! " Sophie's screams echoed in the warehouse . Ella turned a deaf ear and continued to rain blows on her , each one swift and merciless . During those years she spent abroad , she was no longer a weakling to be bullied by others . Sophie was beaten to the brink of death , with no strength left to even beg for mercy , she could only curl up on the ground . Ella gasped for breath , wiped the blood off her face , and was preparing for the final blow . " Bang ! " The warehouse door was suddenly kicked open . The glaring light shone in , and Cadoc stood at the door , staring at them with a dark expression on his face . The moment Sophie saw Cadoc appear , a glimmer of hope burst in her eyes . She dragged her bruised body towards him , limping , tears streaming down her face , her voice trembling uncontrollably : " Cadoc ... she , she wants to kill me ! Ella has gone mad ! She can't stand to see me hap- py ... " Cadoc grabbed her tightly , looking at Ella with a dark expression and a voice filled with rage , " What do you mean ?

" With a loud clang , the sound of metal hitting the ground echoed through the empty warehouse . " " Cadoc , she said hoarsely , yet unusually calm , " you better think long and hard about who was in the wrong today . " She paused , her eyes sharp as knives , " Don't forget , you still owe me today . " Cadoc furrowed his brow , his tone icy . " Wasn't it you who conspired with Levi ? " " Hmm . Ella chuckled briefly , a cold glint in her eyes , " Alright then , I'll tell the media now- " She stared into Cadoc's eyes and said , word by word , " I wonder if you can handle all this public opin- ion . If I remember correctly , the Fitzgerald family was recently interested in buying the piece of land in the east of the city , right ? " With that , she turned to Sophie and said , " Ms. Powell doesn't want to go online tomorrow and call you a homewrecker , does she ? " Sophie's face turned pale , her lips trembling , and she immediately leaned weakly into Cadoc's arms , choking out , " Cadoc , it's all my fault ... It must be because the wedding wasn't completed , so Ms. Jeffer- son got angry ... " Cadoc frowned even more tightly and looked at Ella : " If it's because of this , I can provide for you . Why bother Sophie ? " Ella sneered and her eyes were full of mockery , " No need to waste your efforts . " She slowly straightened her body , despite being covered in wounds , her back still straight , " Who cares about your wedding ? Even without this formality , I am still Mrs. Fitzgerald . " After speaking , Ella no longer looked at them , covering the wound on her abdomen , and slowly walked towards the warehouse door . As she passed by Cadoc and Sophie , she hesitated slightly , her voice as cold as ice : " That's all for to- day . " " Don't worry , we have plenty of time ahead of us . " After saying that , she left without looking back . Cadoc stood still , watching her retreating figure , when suddenly his heart was pierced by some strange emotion . 39.5 % 11:49 Chapter 12 11 288 Vouchers She was clearly in a sorry state , clearly stabbed by him , she should have been angry , should have been hysterical , but she just looked at him calmly and made his chest feel tight .
