Chapter 4. The Appearance Of The Last Night Man

Now Dicky wants everything back. It's the same as killing Herman, so Herman will never want it. Elle feels very embarrassed to see everyone arguing, especially since they are currently in the hospital.

"ENOUGH!" Elle shouted, she could no longer hold back the emotions that were raging in her heart.

"I will return everything, but please calm down, my mother is sick in there," -Elle pointed to Aida's room- "so don't be noisy!"

"You want to return it? What will you return it with? I can't help you, I don't have money." Herman emphasized.

"If you don't have money then you just sell your son's house. You bought that house with my wedding money that I gave to my mother, so automatically the house is mine. Do you think I don't know about that?!" said Elle. Her chest rose and fell, her eyes widened and even her hands that had been clenched tightly at her sides had now turned white.

Elle's emotions had exploded, Elle would really throw a punch at Herman if he denied it again.

"So when are you going to return it to me?" Dicky, who had been silent all this time, now joined in. He walked slowly toward Elle with a cold gaze and a smirk.

Seeing Dicky like that, Elle's emotions suddenly disappeared. Her heart trembled, she lowered her head.

"I still have fifty million CAD in my account. I-I'll give it to you," Elle said while still lowering her head.

If Elle had previously said that she would sell Herman's son's house which was hers, it was all just a momentary emotion. Elle couldn't possibly sell it now because the house was not bought in her name so it wouldn't be easy to sell it. Even if she wanted to sell it, it wouldn't sell quickly. Selling a house wasn't as easy as selling snacks.

"What? You still have money? Why didn't you tell us before?" Herman asked with a surprised expression.

Elle turned away from Herman, she didn't want to care about him. Actually, Elle had been fed up with her stepfather for a long time, since his crazy desire to marry Elle to Edo—his son who was also Elle's half-brother.

Edo Pierre—son of Herman Pierre, Elle's father—a man with an average face, no permanent job, but a hobby of having fun, no house, no car, nothing to be proud of. No woman would want a man like Edo.

At that time, when Elle gave all her wedding money to Aida, she also knew that her stepfather would definitely take the money from Aida to buy a house for Edo. Elle didn't really care about it, she thought that if Edo had his own house, he would move out of his mother's house and Elle's life would be peaceful.

Actually, Elle never minded the wedding money that Elle gave to Aida being taken by Herman because Elle thought that 200 million was taken and exchanged for her peaceful life was very equivalent, but if the 50 million in her account were to be taken too, of course Elle would object. Since she knew her mother was not in good condition, the money she had saved from setting aside part of her salary was used for emergencies.

Elle looked at Dicky with a pleading gaze, hoping that Dicky would show mercy by rejecting her 50 million.

However, without Elle expecting it, Dicky smiled coldly as he extended his hand. "Okay, leave it to me."

Deg! Elle was shocked and fell silent.

"Why? Do you think I'm joking and won't accept it?" Dicky raised one eyebrow and laughed. "Elle ... Elle, it's useless, your innocent face will never affect me again."

Hearing this, Elle's heart felt very sore, she felt her self-esteem had been trampled on. Elle immediately took her ATM card from her wallet and handed it to Dicky.

"PIN number?" said Dicky.

Elle's tongue felt numb when she was about to tell the 6 numbers that were the code. "191010."

The 10th of October 2019 was the day Elle and Dicky started their relationship. Elle felt so happy that she changed all the numbers of her secret code to the numbers of her anniversary with Dicky.

Dicky fell silent after hearing Elle mention her ATM card PIN number. There was a flash of anger in his eyes.

Then he asked coldly. "Then when will you return the rest of the one hundred and fifty million?"

"Dicky, enough!" Celine suddenly interrupted, she hugged Elle and stared at Dicky with a sharp gaze. "Do you have to humiliate Elle like this?"

Hearing Celine speak like that, Elle bit her lower lip even harder to hold back her tears. Elle didn't want Dicky to see her cry.

All the words that came out of Dicky's mouth seemed to blame Elle, it felt very heartbreaking to Elle. Making Elle want to cry even more, but she didn't do that. She didn't want to make Dicky think even more that Elle deliberately put on an innocent face to make Dicky love her.

"One hundred and fifty million short? I'll help you return it." Suddenly a baritone voice was heard from behind Elle and Celine, making the two women immediately turn to look at the source of the voice.

"Him!" Elle's eyes widened instantly. She remembered that face very well even though Elle had only seen it once. A face that Elle would continue to remember even until death. The face of the man who spent Elle's first night last night. The face of someone who had destroyed all of Elle's happiness. Elle's body trembled.

"You!!" Dicky stared sharply at the man. Last night Dicky saw him so now it was certain that Dicky recognized him. Suddenly Dicky's gaze darkened, his jaw tightened, it was clear from his expression that Dicky wanted to finish off the man.

"That man... why did he talk like that? I don't know him at all, but why did he want to help return the wedding money deficit? Wouldn't this make Dicky misunderstand me even more," Elle thought.

Elle stepped closer to the man then said in front of him, "You quickly tell them all that I don't know you, everything that happened last night was purely a mistake. It's all your fault, I didn't know anything."

When Elle tried to hold back her tears, Celine suddenly interrupted, "Brother Galant?"

The man turned to Celine and nodded.

Thud!

Elle was shocked, she immediately turned to her best friend. She was silent for a moment, looking at Celine with a frown. "What is this? How come Celine knows that man's name? Does Celine know him," Elle said to herself. Elle massaged her forehead, she felt a little dizzy thinking about all this.

The man looked at Dicky then said, "About last night, it had nothing to do with him. We don't know each other, I was trapped by someone to enter his room." Finally the man gave an explanation.

Elle was silent, her heart felt very happy because finally the man gave an explanation for the misunderstanding that had occurred.
