NOVEL WEB Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Did They Perform Well Today?
The Lindsey Family's mansion.
By eight at night, Arthur Lindsey had still not returned.
Ella Lacey used Bai·Du Takeout to order two chicken leg meals. Sally Jefferson cringed at Ella's oily mouth while eating, and only picked at some steamed rice and a few green leafy vegetables.
You see, a Goddess has to maintain her beautiful appearance and curvaceous body.
After dinner, they leaned on the couch, engrossed in a Korean soap opera playing on the television. Ella watched with great interest, but Sally was distracted.
She kept wondering if Ella was hiding something from her?
Otherwise, when Uncle Wang symbolically announced their arrival, Ella quickly changed the subject saying, "Ah...we've arrived. I will go and open the door." She promptly picked up her backpack, hopped out of the car, and scampered off to open the password lock on the front door.
Once inside, even after all this time, Ella did not mention the incident.
After much thought, Sally, undeterred, gently grasped Ella's hand, gazed into her eyes, and asked cheerfully, "Ella, you forgot! You didn't tell me how you managed to rank first."
"Oh, I really forgot!" Ella Lacey stuck her tongue out, touched the transparent ring on her left ring finger, showed it to Sally, and asked impishly, "Can you see anything?"
Sally didn't even look, thinking it was just another prank. She slapped Ella's hand away saying, "Be serious. University entrance exams are around the corner. Even though I'm an art student, I also need to meet the standards in cultural courses. Can you share some study experience with me?"
As Ella suspected, besides herself, no one else could see the transparent ring on her left hand.
She didn't want to prolong the suspense anymore, so she decided to admit it to Sally seriously, "Because, on my hand——"
Bad timing.
Just as Ella was halfway through her explanation, the door of the living room abruptly opened.
They saw Arthur Lindsey stride in, his impeccably tailored suit enhancing his exquisitely regal characteristics.
With each step, he seemed to carry an innate majestic presence, demanding respect.
The two young girls in the room were captivated by this aura, their eyes unblinking.
Suddenly, Sally sprang up from the sofa, scurrying towards Arthur in her slippers, her chestnut-colored hair billowing in the air, "Arthur, you're back!"
Only then did Arthur notice Sally. However, his expression remained cold and unchanging. He simply nodded and, as was his routine, began taking off his suit jacket after coming home.
Sally stood by his side, eagerly grabbing his jacket, "I'll hang it in the cloakroom."
Arthur slightly furrowed his eyebrows, he didn't like others touching his belongings, he said tersely, "I'll do it myself."
Sally stood sadly, after all these years, he hadn't changed in the slightest. Still as cold as an iceberg.
Ella pulled Sally back onto the sofa and giggled, "Don't mind him. Let's have our own fun."
At this moment, Sally's phone rang. It was a text message.
Seeing that the message was from Ginny Harl, she carefully moved to the other side of the sofa, maintaining a distance from Ella. The message read:
The show we performed at the school gate today was good, wasn't it? That bitch Ella should be completely loyal to you now, right? When will you be treating us to a meal?
