Chapter 208

An eerie wave of anxiety swept over everyone present.

However, Ella Lacey seemed entirely oblivious, her small steps aimlessly carrying her towards the exit.

Amber Sherwood stood in the doorway, refusing to let her pass. "Ella, are you truly not going to be with Arthur anymore?" she asked.

"No," Ella responded simply.

"What about me?"

Arthur unexpectedly stepped forward and pulled her into his arms, openly embracing her in front of everyone present.

It was the first time he had ever impulsively hugged her.

It's significant because he has never openly pampered any woman.

Arthur thought his gesture would have moved her, but it didn't.

Ella's tone remained detached as she said, "Please let me go."

"What if I don't?" Arthur's tone was gentle, but suggestive.

His flirtatious words shocked everyone present!

Everyone knew that Ella had adored Arthur since childhood, and she had always been the one pursuing him.

On the other hand, Arthur was always cool and detached towards her.
