CHAPTER 385: CHAPTER 383 IT’S TIME TO STOP [3 UPDATES]

Elijah Reed looked at the girl with full-on caution, raised his right hand, grabbed the seatbelt, and said helplessly, "Fasten your seatbelt."

At this moment, Ella Turner finally removed her small hand from his body, but what came to her mind was that his chest muscles were quite nice, very firm, felt great in her hand.

When she realized her thoughts were not pure, she immediately shook her head to clear her mind.

Elijah looked at her inexplicable actions, stared into her eyes, and said, "I’ll take you home now, rub it yourself when you get back, to prevent bruising."

"No way, let’s go to the department store." After getting her head knocked, Ella was even less willing to let Elijah off the hook.

"Are you serious? You don’t care about your body, doesn’t your chest hurt? Aren’t you worried that after the bruising disperses, your chest... might shrink?" Elijah almost couldn’t handle the woman in front of him.

"Assistant Reed, don’t give me any lame excuses, I’m going to the department store no matter what." After Ella finished speaking, she immediately covered her chest and moaned, "Ouch! My chest hurts, and so do my face and head."

"Pfft!" Elijah couldn’t help but laugh as he watched Ella’s feigned cries of pain.

He was finally worn down by Ella’s antics. Isn’t she just trying to con him into buying something? Wouldn’t it be easier to just ask for money outright, why put on such a show?

Elijah didn’t understand Ella at all. She indeed wanted him to bleed financially, but she also wanted to see his expression when being thrashed by her. She wanted him to be her little errand boy, running around to make up for her injured little heart.

At this point, seeing Elijah’s laugh, Ella angrily raised her right hand and slapped him, impatiently saying, "What are you laughing at? Do you think I’m pretending? My chest really hurts, why don’t you try hitting yourself to see how it feels."

Elijah watched Ella’s extremely aggrieved appearance, suddenly turned to the side, lifted his left hand, and gently placed it on her left chest, asking, "Is it more painful on this side?"

In an instant, Ella was dumbfounded, her eyes suddenly widened, staring straight at Elijah, not even blinking.

After two seconds, she held her breath, with a face full of astonishment, and asked, "Assistant Reed, what do you want to do?"

"Following doctor’s orders, help you rub it to prevent aftereffects, so you don’t blame me for life." As Elijah spoke, his large hand really did start to gently rub.

Immediately, Ella’s face turned red enough to drip blood, and she quickly removed his hand, and said hurriedly, "No, there won’t be any aftereffects."

Seeing her face completely red, Elijah said nonchalantly, "You said it yourself, after today, don’t think about conning me again."

"Oh... so you were playing tricks, trying to be a rogue." Ella then realized that Elijah’s previous rubbing of her chest was intentional, deliberately making her flustered, forcing her to promise that after today, he wouldn’t be responsible for her anymore.

"You missed the best treatment time yourself, why should I take responsibility?" Elijah didn’t want to be entangled with Ella for a lifetime, so he continued, "How about you name a lump sum, and we’ll solve the problem straightforwardly."

Ella looked at Elijah’s unwillingness to take responsibility, she was so angry she could explode, quickly took out her phone from her bag, and threatened him.

"I’ll call Maya and tell her you bullied me, not only not being responsible for my face, but also driving me to get hurt."

Seeing Ella about to call Maya, Elijah immediately snatched her phone and said in exasperation, "I’ll be responsible, I’ll be responsible!"

With that, he tossed the phone back into Ella’s bag, slowly started the vehicle, and headed towards the department store.

In the mall, Ella looked at the dazzling array of products, her eyes dazzled, thinking, if she didn’t make Elijah bleed hard, she’d feel guilty for the pain she suffered today.

So she quickly pulled Elijah into a luxury bag store, picked up a new handbag, and posed with it in front of the mirror, asking, "Assistant Reed, does this bag look good?"

Elijah glanced at the bag in Ella’s hand, then at the price tag on the shelf, swallowing hard in shock, and said, "Not good-looking."

In the mirror, Ella saw Elijah’s flustered appearance, the corners of her mouth curled into a wicked smile, and said, "Salesperson, this one it is."

At this moment, Elijah immediately grabbed Ella, leaned close to her ear, and reminded her furiously, "This bag is 200,000, get a grip!"

"Ouch! My face hurts, it hurts so much." Hearing Elijah’s warning, Ella immediately clutched her chest and shouted in pain again.

Seeing this, Elijah released his grip on her arm, huffed, and said, "Buy! Buy! Buy! Salesperson, please wrap it up."

"Yes, sir, it comes to a total of 200,000, please pay over here."

In front of the mirror, Ella watched Elijah’s reluctant face as he pulled out his wallet, feeling extremely satisfied, forgetting her chest didn’t hurt as much anymore.

After buying the bag, Ella dragged Elijah into a shoe store, this time Elijah was too lazy to confront her, wearily pulled out his black card, and bought everything she fancied.

Finally, he followed behind Ella with large bags, arriving at a luxury watch store.

At this point, Elijah stood outside the door, refusing to go in dead or alive, thinking, if she tortures him any further, his salary for the quarter would be wasted.

Walking ahead, Ella noticed Elijah unwilling to enter, immediately turned around, and asked, "Why aren’t you going in?"

"Ella, you’ve already spent a million just now, it’s time to stop." At this watch store, any random pick costs in the millions, and he felt deeply pained.

"Oh! Just that little? We shopped for half a day and only spent that much of your money, such a waste of time, let’s make a big move this time." Ella thought nothing of it.

"Ella, my money is meant for my future wife, not for you to spend."

"Who asked you to bite my face, who asked you to intentionally drive to mess with me? If I don’t make you bleed a bit, you won’t learn your lesson. Besides, what’s the big deal if I pick a watch, at worst you’ll contribute this quarter’s salary to me! Treat it as spending money to buy a lesson." Given Ethan Turner’s position similar to his, plus him being with Liam Spencer for so long, she guessed his salary would be only higher.

These are all big spenders, of course, she wouldn’t hold back when given the chance.

"200,000, don’t think about anything over that, even if you go complain to Ms. Spencer, it won’t work." Elijah was ready to accept his bad luck for today.

minutes later, Ella walked out with a new watch on her wrist, smiling from ear to ear.

Elijah looked at the girl’s smug appearance, unhappily said, "Satisfied now? I’ll take you home."

Ella saw his pitiful expression, raised her head, smiled brightly, and said, "Satisfied, very satisfied, given your sincere apology today, I’ll treat you to dinner."

"Ha! No thanks." Elijah thought to himself, the money he spent on her today was enough to pay for a lifetime of dinners.

Besides, after bleeding financially today, he was in no mood for dinner, he’d rather go home and cry into his pillow.

"You’re ungrateful? Fine, I’ll call Maya."
