I'm the Obsession of My Cold-Hearted Ex novel Chapter 319

As soon as Ellis saw ‘Morty‘ flash on her screen, she didt hesitate to swipe and reject the call. She fundamentally disliked Morty, and now with Zion getting involved, she found it all the more troublesome.

In terms of being a nuisance, Morty was second only to Easton.

Why can’t these guys find someone else to bother? I’m scared cough of them messing things up for me.

Morty didn’t call a second time after his call went unanswered, feeling a slight sinking in his heart. Just when things were starting to look up, Zion had ruined, and it all stemmed from Easton.

But he knew he couldn’t rush things; the more he pushed, the more Ellis would be repelled. The world. grew quiet, and Ellis’s mind, once cluttered, cleared completely. She drifted off to sleep without realizing it and entered a deep sleep, forgetting all about her planned wash–up.

Her barely enjoyable time in Kyrador was in stark contrast to Victoria’s frantic distress back in Stonebridge.

Her family’s rapid downfall felt like a rollercoaster that was impossible to stop. Her parents weren’t constantly sighing, but their foreheads grew darker by the day, a sign of utter desperation.

Seizing an opportunity, Victoria caught Easton right at the entrance of the Hudson Group headquarters.

“Easton.”

Remembering Easton’s repeated warnings, Victoria didn’t dare address him as her brother anymore.

Blocking his path, she dropped all pretenses of her wealthy upbringing, only showing desperation and squeezing out tears. “Take it out on me, not my family. My parents…”

“I haven’t laid a finger on your family, Easton interrupted coldly. “With the state your family’s in, they don’t need me to do anything. You’re giving your family too much credit and me too little.

But his indirect actions were a significant blow to her family, signaling to everyone that the Brooks family had angered Easton, causing those who might have helped to back away.

“So, you’re here to beg?” Easton scoffed.

Once upon a time, he might have held a bit of childhood friendship for Victoria, a sliver of goodwill.

After seeing her true manipulative nature, he had no friendly feelings toward her, especially since she had crossed his lines.

“Do you think begging will make me soften?” A mocking smile played at his lips. “I warned you. You didn’t listen. Today, you’re paying the price.”

No matter how much Victoria pleaded or cried, Easton never looked back at her.

It seemed predestined by the gods that the Brooks family’s downfall, which began with the broken. engagement years ago, was now being realized.

After getting into his car, Easton repeatedly checked phone. He hadn’t changed his number, and he was sure Ellis knew it by heart.

Yet he couldn’t receive a call from her, nor any messages or emails.

Of course, he knew that expecting such contact was wishful thinking at this stage. Could she just answer my call? Let me hear her voice?

He had realized before how torturous longing could be, but now he found something even more agonizing–knowing from Lois that she had taken a month off to rest and had traveled to Kyrador, yet he couldn’t reach out to her.
