Deep Hatred
"What's wrong with her?" probed Carla anxiously. "I'm friends with her, so I genuinely wish to know how she's doing. What exactly happened to her?"
"She…" Ellen hesitated for a while but did not say anything. "This concerns her private matters, so it's not appropriate for me to reveal anything."
"But…"
"Is that Carla?"
Suddenly, a weak voice sounded from the phone.
"Yes, Ms. Gold, " replied Ellen.
"Pass me the phone." Nella asked for the phone.
Ellen passed the phone to her. After that, Carla could hear the door closing.
"Ms. Gold?" Carla felt very uneasy.
"Carla…" Although Nella was extremely weak, her voice was charged with hatred. "I've never done anything to let you down. In fact, I've even helped you. Why must you sabotage me like this?"
Stunned, Carla quickly asked, "Ms. Gold, did you misunderstand something?"
"Misunderstand?" Nella was extremely agitated. "Do you dare to claim that you weren't at Storm Hotel last night? That you weren't in that b_stard's room?"
"I…" For a moment, Carla did not know how to reply.
"You know that he's a fake, so why didn't you tell me?" interrogated Nella furiously. "Why didn't you stop him when he was about to assault me? Why did you watch me get lied to and humiliated? Why?"
With that, she burst into tears. Losing control over herself, she kept repeating, "Why? Why… Why!"
Carla was filled with pity and guilt when she heard Nella's cries.
After the latter calmed down slightly, Carla explained, "Ms. Gold, I was in the toilet back then. When I heard your voice and his, I wanted to rush out to stop him. However, the moment I left, someone covered my nose with chloroform, and I became unconscious. After that…"
"Stop finding excuses, " interrupted Nella. Her voice was filled with resentment as she bellowed, "If you were really knocked out, you wouldn't have left the hotel unscathed. Since you managed to escape, you had a chance to save me too. But you didn't! Were you delighted to see me being abused by that b_stard? Were you snickering behind my back? Were you secretly pleased that you've gotten rid of a love rival and that no one will compete against you for the real Zayn?"
"I'm not…"
"Carla Wigston!" Nella did not give her a chance to explain. "I'll remember this grudge forever."
"Nella…"
Carla wanted to say something else, but Nella hung up directly.
Sighing in exasperation, she gripped the phone solemnly.
Freda protested indignantly, "Why is she blaming you? What does this have anything to do with you? Isn't it obvious that her father and Boris are the ones who sabotaged her? If she is that capable, she should seek revenge on them!"
"Perhaps, it feels better to transfer her hatred to an arch-enemy, " said Carla as she smirked bitterly.
"Ms. Lierger, why did you even make this call?" Freda could not understand it. "You could've ignored her. After all, this is none of your business."
"I just want to know how she's doing, " explained Carla with a frown. "Now, Newton is going to join Giblo Group's board of directors. His next step is to announce the marriage between the Giblo and Gold families. Judging from Nella's current condition, she probably discovered Boris' true identity, which was why she chose to end herself. Although she managed to survive, she probably won't abandon her pride and marry him."
"Does this mean that the Gold family's plan is going to be cast aside?" asked Freda hurriedly.
"Not necessarily." Carla shook her head. "Someone like Newton will resort to any means possible to reach his goal. He might force her or make his eldest daughter marry Boris. Anyway, he'll definitely not give up on this important opportunity."
