Chapter 276
276 Wanting Everything She Has
“Dad, didn’t you tell me you would give me a house when I married Haikal? Do you remember it?” said Indri carefully.
“Why are you talking about it now?” Budi’s voice sounded cold, making Indri feel scared. Indri then clenched her fists and continued, “Dad, I really like that house. Are you willing to give it to me?”
Haikal who was standing beside Indri smiled very broadly. He listened to the conversation on the phone with a hopeful look.
He only needed approval from Budi and he would get Ella soon!
But unfortunately, Budi snorted coldly. “What for? The house is of no use to you. You’re still living at Haikal’s house now. What is the house for? You don’t need to leave Haikal’s house.”
“Father!” When she heard the answer from her father, Indri was immediately disappointed. She had known that finding the house would not be easy, but there was still some hope in her heart that her father would give it without questioning it.
She narrowed her eyes and started to complain. “Don’t you know how much I suffered at Haikal’s house? They didn’t treat me like a host at all! What’s wrong with me leaving the house?” Indri took a deep breath before continuing. “Father, do you have the heart to let me suffer in Haikal’s house?”
Indri thought her father loved her very much. And after Ella left the house, Indri became Budi’s only child. She is Budi’s only successor.
She only needed to complain a little and her father would immediately pity her.
.....
Indri thought that her father would feel sorry for her after listening to her complaints and immediately gave her the house. But who knows, Budi said casually instead, “Haikal’s family will not let you out of your husband’s house. Don’t think like that. Your mother spoiled you too much at home that you became such a lazy girl. Didn’t his family take good care of you? They even find an ethics teacher for you. You better study hard so you don’t embarrass your husband.”
Budi has no intention of giving the house to Indri. He knew Ella still wanted the house and surely she was going to take it. In addition, Ella had offered a very high price for the house.
Instead of giving the house to Indri and without getting any profit, it is better for him to keep it for himself.
Budi doesn’t care what will happen to Indri. According to him, he and profits came first and everything else could wait later.
“Father, how can you treat me like this?” Indri feels like she’s going crazy.
It was just a house, not even their main house. Why wouldn’t her father give up the house for her? Did the house mean more to her father than she did to him?
This matter concerned the survival of her marriage!
“Am I still not nice to you?” Budi’s voice was calm.
For Budi, Indri is quite useful for him to restrain Haikal. Otherwise, Budi might have dumped his stupid daughter a long time ago.
“That’s not what I meant, Dad,” Indri realized that her father was getting angrier. “I just feel confused because you promised it to me in the past.”
Indri and Haikal’s current place was not too far from the studio so Ella could hear their conversation very clearly. Her eyes showed a sense of loneliness in her gaze.
The house was the thing she wanted most in this world, but Budi had no intention of letting it go. Even Budi is not willing to give it to Indri.
Then, how should Ella get it?
Luca realized Ella’s feelings. He raised his hand to pat Ella’s shoulder. “Is that what you want?”
“Yeah,” Ella didn’t hide it. She nodded and said, “That is my mother’s house. One day, I will definitely take it back.”
Ella smiled expectantly. While talking about it, her eyes lit up brightly.
Luca smiled and nodded. “I know you can do it.”
Luca’s words always calmed her down. Ella couldn’t help but comment. “You look a lot like my friend.”
The friend she was referring to was Liam. Since childhood, she and Liam were very close to each other. The feelings between them are genuine and Ella clings to Liam like Liam is her big brother.
In the past, Ella had difficulty distinguishing the feelings of affection between family and love for others. Now, she already knew how she felt for Liam. Her feelings were completely different from how she felt for Christian.
Her feelings for Liam are like affection among family members. Meanwhile, what she feels for Christian is love for a man.
Ella will never be able to reciprocate Liam’s feelings for her. She wouldn’t be able to make him happy.
This is what makes Ella feel even more guilty.
“Who?” Luca asked.
“Liam,” Ella said. The name reminded her of her past memories.
“He is someone very important to you,” it wasn’t a question, but a statement from Luca’s part.
Ella nodded, agreeing. “Yes, he is a very important person.”
To her, Liam was the only family she had left after she lost her real one.
After saying that, Ella looked at Indri and Haikal, then muttered, “Back then, they were just as important to me. They are my family.”
In the past, Ella loved Merry and Indri very much, considering them both as her family. She also loved Haikal very much and hoped that one day, she and Haikal could become family.
But then they deliberately threw her into the worst of hell. The relationship between them will never be able to return to the way it was before even if they try to make it up.
After Haikal realized that Budi had no intention of giving the house to Indri, his face became unsightly. “Is this proof that you love me? You promised to get the house,” Haikal was really angry. He thought he could get Ella in the near future.
But that hope disappeared in an instant, back to square one again!
Indri lowered her head anxiously, her face looking restless. Her phone call with her father had ended and she could no longer plead with her father. She held Haikal’s hand and said, “Haikal, it’s just a house. We can find a better one. That one house’s style is outdated. Not good at all.”
Indri hoped that this time Haikal would forgive her. She was really worried that her relationship with Haikal would be further strained because of this insignificant matter.
Indri’s words hurt Ella’s heart. The house is the house left by his mother. No matter how outdated, the house meant a lot to her.
If Indri really doesn’t like the house, why should she take it from Ella? Why does Indri always want everything that Ella has?
Ella stepped forward and stood in front of Indri. “Look, your sad face is really pretty.”
Ella looked at her with a condescending look, making Indri unable to accept it. “You impudent bitch! If it wasn’t for you, Haikal wouldn’t have treated me like this! I will teach you a lesson today! I will let you suffer the consequence!”
