Chapter 126
Seeing that both Heath and Rhea believed Ella's lies, Scarlett quickly shook her head to defend herself, "Mom, Dad, I didn't. Ella is framing me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mason suddenly stood up, pulled her over, and said angrily, "Scarlett, come with me."
Afraid of making Heath and Rhea angrier and upsetting Ella, he dragged Scarlett out of the villa and couldn't help questioning her, "Back then, did you really deliberately give Ella away?"
Scarlett firmly denied it, "I didn't. Don't tell me you don't believe me either?"
It was true that she deliberately lost Ella, but she didn't give her away.
Ella was lying through her teeth to frame her.
Really afraid of being kicked out of the Lewis family and losing everything, Scarlett grabbed Mason and pleaded, "Mason, go explain to Mom and Dad. I didn't do it. Ella is framing me. Can we go back inside?"
"Enough."
Mason took her away from the Lewis Villa, "Since Dad kicked you out, he won't possibly let you back in. You'll have to live outside from now on."
Thinking about how Scarlett had asked him to kill Ella before, Mason knew how vicious her heart was.
If he didn't love her, he really wouldn't want to protect her.
"Mason, we can't leave."
Pulled into the car, Scarlett realized that once they left, they might never be able to come back. She quickly reminded him, "If we leave, the Lewis family will really belong to Ella alone."
"What if she's not even your sister? What if she's an imposter and the Lewis family falls into bad hands?"
Back then, it was to become the Lewis family's young lady that she got rid of Flora.
Twenty years.
She had compromised and kept a low profile in this house, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
She had hoped to use the Lewis family as a stepping stone to marry Joshua and become someone everyone respected.
But she got nothing, and now she was being kicked out of the Lewis family.
Scarlett wasn't willing to accept it.
She grabbed the car door, unwilling to leave.
Mason slammed the car door shut and stared hard at Scarlett in the passenger seat, saying word by word, "Scarlett, let me emphasize one last time—Ella is my real sister, that's a fact, and I'm willingly giving her the Lewis family's assets."
"I'm taking you to live outside now. With our education and abilities, we'll become wealthy sooner or later."
Afraid that Scarlett would still harm Ella and Dorian, Mason felt that taking her to live outside was the best solution.
This way Heath and Rhea wouldn't be angry, and Ella would feel more balanced.
Scarlett wanted to stop him, but realized it was pointless.
How could she not know that Heath and Rhea had been thinking about their biological daughter for twenty years.
After their biological daughter disappeared, they never looked at her properly.
Now that their biological daughter had finally returned, naturally they would believe whatever Ella said.
But to lose to Ella like this—Scarlett wasn't willing to accept it.
She would definitely come back.
When that time came, she would make Heath and Rhea personally hand over half of the Lewis family's assets to her.
In the villa.
With Heath and Rhea's comfort, Ella steadied her emotions and stopped being sad.
Rhea held her hand, feeling both heartbroken and sad, "I'm sorry. All these years you've suffered so much. Ella, tell Mom and Dad what else you want, we'll give you everything."
Only by constantly satisfying Ella's needs would they feel better.
Especially thinking about how Ella had faced life and death these years, got pregnant before marriage and was criticized, and finally was forced by the Thomas family to leave with nothing.
A girl only twenty-four years old had experienced more hardships than she, the mother, had.
How could they as parents not feel heartbroken.
Ella shook her head, "You've already given me enough. I don't need anything else now."
Kicking Mason and Scarlett out of this house was her goal.
Not only that, she would make that pair of siblings unable to stay in all of Emerald City.
After driving Scarlett crazy, she definitely wouldn't be able to resist making a move.
"Good, if you want anything in the future, just tell Mom and Dad."
Heath reminded, "Let's eat first. After the meal, Dorian can stay home with his grandmother, and you come with me to the company to get familiar with things."
Since he had said he would hand the company over to Ella, starting now, he would take Ella to the company to train her properly.
Fortunately Ella was still young, her learning ability should be strong.
In the future she would definitely have the capability to take over the company.
Ella didn't refuse.
After breakfast, she went with her father to the Lewis Group.
Mason took Scarlett to his villa outside and then went back to the company to work.
At noon, Ella deliberately came to his office, pretending to look guilty, "You won't blame me for exposing what Scarlett did to me back then, will you?"
Mason quickly stood up to greet her and sit down, having his secretary bring her tea and water, "How could I? You were just telling the truth."
Ella took the water glass, her eyes filled with tears, looking at him with watery eyes, "You think it's the truth, so Scarlett made me suffer outside for so many years—why are you still with her?"
Two sentences left Mason speechless.
He sat down beside her, sighing, not knowing how to answer.
Could he say he loved Scarlett very much and was willing to tolerate everything about her?
That would definitely hurt Ella's feelings.
Ella continued, "Mason, do you think Scarlett likes you? She loves Joshua. If you gave her another chance to choose, she would still choose Joshua."
Mason couldn't bear to listen anymore, his expression darkening.
But Ella wasn't planning to let him off, continuing, "Let's make a bet. If you had nothing, she definitely wouldn't suffer with you."
Right now Scarlett had only left the Lewis family.
But she was still living in a big villa outside, being waited on.
This wasn't what Ella wanted.
She wanted to push Scarlett until she had nothing, until even Mason found her disgusting.
Mason was silent for a long time, then told her, "I'll have the lawyer come over right now and transfer all my assets to you. I'll vacate the CEO position as soon as possible too. Learn well from Dad these days so you can take over the company in the future."
He wanted to listen to Ella and try it out, to see if Scarlett would be willing to be with him when he had nothing.
So he gave everything he had to Ella without reservation.
Seeing her goal achieved, Ella said hypocritically, "Don't worry, I'm just keeping it for you temporarily. If Scarlett passes your test, when you two get married, I'll return everything to you."
Mason didn't care, "Once I've given it to you, I never thought about taking it back."
He was about to go to his desk to organize his assets when the secretary pushed the door open to report, "Mr. Lewis, Mr. Thomas is here."
Mason frowned slightly, looking at Ella, "Do you want to see him? If you don't want to, I'll send him away."
How could Ella not know it was Joshua.
She answered indirectly, "Have the Lewis Group and the Thomas Group always had business dealings?"
If she took over the company, if the two companies had dealings, she would inevitably have to deal with Joshua in the future.
Besides, as a woman, she might not be able to easily take over the company.
Maybe in the future she would need to rely on Joshua's help.
"We've always cooperated, and it's an inseparable cooperation," Mason said.
Ella thought she should leave herself a way out.
She nodded in agreement, "Let Joshua come. I can learn some business practices from him."
