The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 315

But she wasn’t.

Jessa clenched her jaw so tightly she could almost hear her teeth crack. Ella... Today she had flipped the script on them and even called in David to land the final blow. Jessa used to think Ella was beneath her, but now she was starting to realize just how sharp Ella really was.

She needed to come up with a plan, fast.

Pulling out her phone, Jessa dialed Grandma Jill.

…

Ella slipped back into the girls’ dorm, just as Lilly walked in.

“Lilly, did you catch up to Jace?” Ella asked.

Lilly let out a frustrated sigh. “No, he completely ignored me.”

Ella grinned. “Guess Jace isn’t so easy to win over.”

Lilly’s cheeks turned pink. “Ella, I’m not trying to win over him. Don’t tease me.”

Ella just laughed and let it go.

Then Lilly clung to Ella’s arm, her eyes wide. “Ella, how did my birthmark disappear? I’ve been thinking about it. Yesterday, you gave me that super bitter candy. Tell me the truth, it was because of that candy, right?”

Ella opened her mouth to answer, but just then there was a knock at the door.

Who could that be?

Lilly opened the door and there stood David, looking as composed and intimidating as ever.

“Mr. Harmon, what are you doing here? I was just about to find you. You need to watch out for Jessa. She’s absolutely nasty. If it weren’t for Ella, I don’t know what she would have done to me!” Lilly huffed, her tone full of fire.

Once Lilly stepped out, David walked in and closed the door behind him.

He crossed the room with that confident, commanding stride of his, stopping right in front of Ella. His presence was overwhelming, making the small dorm feel even smaller. “Where did you get that pill?”

Ella tilted her chin up and met his stare. “It’s secret.”

Ella clearly didn’t want to talk. She turned, ready to leave, but David caught her by the arm.

She was forced to stop. Frowning, Ella tried to pull away. “Please keep your hands to yourself. If you don’t, I won’t be so nice.”

Before she could finish, David pulled her straight into his arms.

Ella looked up, startled, only to see him smirking down at her, his eyes filled with amusement. “First you say you’ll teach my girl a lesson, now you’re threatening me. Ella, you really think you’re something, don’t you?”
