Chapter 891:
“Have you said enough? You can shut your mouth now!” Klein stepped up to Ella, his face twisted in anger.
“What I’m saying is the truth. Could it be that I’m wrong?” Ella’s eyes were sharp as she glared at Klein.
Klein’s eyebrows were furrowed in frustration.
Just then, Herbert suddenly turned to Ella and said, “Ella, if there’s any conflict between you and Klein, you can go home and solve it. Don’t drag innocent people into this!”
Ella couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
“Mr. Wharton, you really are the most well-mannered person I’ve ever met. Your wife wants to date someone else, and you aren’t angry at all! I really don’t know if you’re a man or not!”
I could hardly believe my ears. How could Ella say something like that? As far as I remembered, she was always a beautiful and generous woman, focused on her work. But today, she was slandering both Klein and me in such an ugly way. It seemed like Ella had changed, even her demeanor now seemed unusually mean.
I looked up at Herbert, feeling a bit nervous. I didn’t know if he would be angry because of what Ella had said. To my surprise, Herbert spoke to her in a stern voice, “You’re with the top lawyer in A City. I could sue you just for what you’ve said. You’re Klein’s girlfriend now. I’ll give you a chance—remember, if there’s a next time, I won’t let you go!”

Herbert then reached out and grabbed my hand, pulling me toward the exit. I was still in a daze after being grabbed, but I couldn’t help but follow him. When we reached the gate, Herbert suddenly stopped, and I nearly collided with his back.
He turned to steady me, then spoke to Ella, “I forgot to tell you that I trust my wife completely. She would never do anything to hurt me. I think there’s a lack of basic trust between you and Klein. After hearing just a few words from him, you assume they’re having an affair? The problem isn’t with them; it’s with you.”
At that moment, Ella’s face was pale with anger.
Herbert then turned to Klein.
“Klein, as your cousin, I would advise you to reconsider your choice of girlfriend.”
With that, Herbert pulled me away, and we left.
When I returned to the banquet hall, I glanced back and saw the complex look in Klein’s eyes, and the expression on Ella’s face was filled with pain and sadness. Suddenly, I felt a sense of relief and satisfaction!
I lifted my gaze and stole a glance at Herbert. He looked so handsome and composed; I was becoming more and more captivated by him.
Back in the banquet hall, I walked over to the long dining table, picked up a plate, and grabbed a piece of tiramisu. I lowered my head and began eating it.
After a few bites, I looked up at Herbert and smiled.
“This tiramisu tastes really authentic. Would you like a piece?”
Herbert frowned slightly before replying, “You’re still in the mood to eat cake? Do you want me to explain what happened just now?”I swallowed the cake in my mouth and licked my lips, then flashed Herbert a flattering smile.
“Didn’t you say you trusted me? Do I really need to explain?”
