Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

338 Like a Famous Artist

“Hello?”

“It seems that you are not afraid at all. Have you received the subpoena?” Nissa’s tone was full of disgust and disdain.

She had been trying to hold herself back since last night, thinking that Ella would take the initiative to call her first. But she did not expect that until the morning, Ella did not contact her at all.

This woman didn’t care about her threat.

“I’ve received it,” Ella yawned lazily.

“You...” Nissa couldn’t believe Ella’s flat reaction. At the same time, she felt her pride was tarnished because this woman didn’t care about her threats.

“Why me?” Ella chuckled. “Did you think I would really stop painting because of you? Do you think I will give you money? Don’t you have a brain?”

Her cynical voice sounded in Nissa’s ears, making the woman even angrier.

“Say it again if you dare!”

.....

“I said, don’t you have a brain?” Ella looked at the window with a lazy look and continued, “If someone tells you to, I suggest that you stop as soon as possible. Otherwise, the end of this matter will not be what you imagine. You won’t be able to bear it all.”

“Are you threatening me now? Do you want to scare me?” Nissa snorted. “You are just an amateur painter. What can you do?”

“Yes. I’m just an amateur painter. Why did you intentionally want to attack and bring me down?” Ella asked back.

Nissa’s hands were shaking as she held her cell phone. She had reached an agreement with Indri beforehand that Nissa should not reveal Indri’s identity. Otherwise, Nissa would suffer the consequences.

She also would not be able to get what she wanted.

It seemed, the woman she was dealing with was not a stupid person.

“Because I want to. It’s up to me, right? Who are you to control me?” Nissa said with annoyance. “I suggest you make a decision soon. Otherwise, you will regret everything.”

“Are you on the phone with someone? Who is it?” Because of the commotion between Ella and Nissa, Christian woke up from his sleep. He opened his eyes and looked at Ella a little annoyed.

“Nissa.” Elal didn’t try to hide it.

Christian immediately frowned. “I don’t know that name.”

“Hmm…” Ella replied nonchalantly.

Nissa became even more angry when she heard the conversation between Christian and Ella. The man on the other end had never heard of her!

“You two are both stupid!” Nissa’s words only sounded in Ella’s ears.

She was not offended even though Nissa insulted her. But if Christian heard it, things would be different.

“Nissa, I suggest that you watch your words. This man beside me has a very bad temper.”

“But he’s not your lover?” Nissa sneered, thinking that Ella was a really lowly woman. “What kind of man would want a woman like you? You are stupid and not broad-minded. How dare you threaten me. How ridiculous!”

Ella could feel Christian getting angrier. The anger made Ella feel safe. This time, there was someone who would help and protect her.

“Nissa Putri, huh? I will remember it.” Christian’s cold voice made Nissa’s hair stand on end.

But she tried to calm her mind and said, “Do it, take a note if you want. What can you really do?”

Ella had no intention of listening to this woman’s stupid ramblings anymore. She stretched her body and said, “I’m still sleepy. I’ll hang up the phone.”

After that, Ella immediately ended the call unilaterally.

Christian already guessed that this call had something to do with the subpoena Ella got yesterday. But he didn’t ask much.

He just adjusted his position so he could hug Ella more comfortably.

“Go back to sleep,” he said in a soft voice.

Christian’s warm embrace and his soft voice made Ella fall into a deep sleep.

When she woke up again, Christian was not in the room.

Ella remembered her work and immediately packed up to go to the studio.

When she got there, Luca was already waiting for her. He was not alone— Liam was there.

Liam waved his hand at Ella with a chuckle. This made Ella a little surprised. For some reason, she felt like their relationship had returned to the past. The times where Liam always protected and took care of her without expecting anything from her.

Liam was always patient with her, no matter how stubborn Ella was.

“Ella, sit here,” Liam said, patting the chair beside him.

Ella immediately sat down obediently.

Luca immediately closed the studio and looked at the two of them while taking out the letter he received. “Look at this,” he said.

Ella accepted it and read it carefully. She pointed at the wall and said, “She was accusing me of plagiarizing this painting, right?”

It was a painting she created when she missed her mother. A very simple painting…

A mother hugging her young daughter. The mother was seen bowing her head, while the child looked up at her mother. They both had happy smiles on their faces.

Behind them, the sun was setting, making their shadows look deep.

The atmosphere looked very warm.

“Yeah,” Luca nodded. “Yesterday morning, Nissa Putri published this painting in a magazine.”

Luca took a magazine and showed it to Ella.

The painting was very similar to hers. The difference was that the child that Nissa drew was a boy. In fact, the position was almost exactly the same, but was spiced up with Nissa’s more unique way of painting.

Ella frowned when she saw the illustration.

Nissa also told about her experience getting the inspiration for this painting. She accidentally saw this in the middle of the way and felt very touched by it. It took half a month to finalize the idea and three full days to produce this work.

Ella smiled sarcastically.

Was it just because Nissa spent more time thinking about it, Ella was immediately said to be plagiarizing her?

Liam looked at Ella’s pensive face with bitterness in his heart. In the end, they could only be friends.

But even so, he felt quite satisfied.

“Ella, do you need my help?”

Ella shook her head. “There are people behind Nissa, telling her to do all this.”

“Is that the Maheswara Family?” The first person that came to Liam’s mind was the family that had made Ella the way she’s now.

Now, Ella had come into contact with Christian so that she became a dangerous thorn in the eyes of the Maheswara Family. Liam was afraid that they would do everything they could to get rid of Ella.

“My dad couldn’t have done it,” Ella looked at Liam with a serious look. “He’s too busy taking care of himself right now and he doesn’t have time to take care of me. Then, only Indri and Merry are left.”

Liam pondered it for a moment and said, “Indri is at Haikal’s house and hasn’t been in touch with her mother for a long time. My men are watching her movements.”

“Could it be Indri who had this idea?” Ella felt a little surprised. It seemed impossible that her half-sister could become this smart in such a short time.

Liam looked at Ella with an amused look. “Even though she has no brain, she has a bad heart.” His face turned serious when he talked about this matter. “You have to be careful.”

“Yes,” Ella nodded. She thought for a moment and said, “I’m going to meet Nissa.”

Ella’s words made Luca immediately feel worried. “That woman is not someone to be easy to deal with.”

Nissa Putri was already quite famous among painters. She was known as someone who was very hot-tempered and difficult to deal with.

Ella waved her hand nonchalantly. “No problem. I’m not easy to deal with either.”

When she received a call from Ella, Nissa felt very happy.

She was really annoyed that Ella kept ignoring her before. But now, the woman was looking for her first.

Therefore, when Ella asked her to meet, Nissa immediately agreed without hesitation.

‘Finally, this woman is afraid of my threat!’ Nissa thought happily as if she had succeeded in achieving her wish.
