The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 556

David looked Moss right in the eye. “I’ll say it again. I’m not marrying your daughter, Jessa. The person I love is Ella.”

Jessa’s face fell, her hurt obvious. “David!”

David didn’t hesitate. He reached out and pulled Ella away from Moss, holding her close. She stumbled, but he caught her, his arms steady and warm around her waist.

He bent his head, his voice gentle. “Ella, are you okay?”

Ella shook her head, almost smiling. “I’m fine.”

“Let’s get out of here,” David said.

Ella nodded. “Okay.”

She meant to walk on her own, but David scooped her up before she could even take a step. Ella’s eyelashes fluttered in surprise.

“Hold on to my neck,” David told her.

Ella looped her arms around him, letting him carry her away without a word.

Lilly watched the whole thing, then turned to Jessa with a playful smirk. “So what if you’re a billionaire’s daughter? You can’t even keep your own fiancé.”

Jessa was fuming. “You—”

“Relax, Jessa. Don’t get so worked up. You’ve got that heart condition, remember? If you get too upset, Ella won’t treat you,” Lilly teased.

Jessa stared at her, speechless.

Lilly stuck out her tongue and dashed off. “Mr. Harmon, wait for me!”
