Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife - Chapter 266

Chapter 266: He did it because of me Chapter 266: He did it because of me In the meantime, Ella and Stefan arrived to the Hayes Mansion.

Ella had been there before, but tonight she felt something strange boiling up in the pit of her stomach.

She was nervous, but she knew she had to confront them for whatever Stefan felt obliged to do.

She had to tell them that Stefan took such a bold move for her, and that if her boss asked her to resign, she would.

Ella was still attempting to gather her thoughts when a hand reached for hers, snapping her out of her stupor.

“Dove, you know I can handle it.

You don’t have to force yourself,” he urged, still attempting to persuade Ella to change her mind, but she refused.

“No, Stefan, you terminated the project midway, resulting in a loss because of me, so I must bear the consequences,” she declared, discarding her anxiety and sighed.

“Let’s go,” she murmured, turning to open the car door and step outside.

Stefan sighed in despair and followed her to the house’s main door.

**** Marcus and Nancy were waiting for them inside, and as soon as they walked in, Stefan felt a chill run down his spine from a wordless communication with their eyes.

He had no idea what was going to happen today, but if it meant standing up to his parents and fighting for his sweetheart, he was all in.

For him, she was the most important person, and he would never risk losing her, not even to his family.

‘But wait!

Why am I going so far?’ His subconscious jabbed him, bringing an abrupt halt to his flowing thoughts.

“I assumed for an hour, but you two are fast.

That’s impressive,” Marcus replied, glancing at Stefan and Ella.

“Please have a seat,” he continued, as both of them settled into their seats.

Inside the huge living hall, Marcus and Nancy remained silent, waiting to hear from the two persons sitting in front of them.

“Since you two won’t speak, let me ask instead.

What is all this, Stefan?

Why would you suddenly stop a project in which we had invested a large number of money?

And what about Priscilla Stewart?

Why did you lock her up?” She queried, her gaze silently fixed on her son, waiting for an explanation.

Stefan drew a big breath, preparing to address his parents, but Ella stopped him and chose to speak for herself.

“He did it because of me, Mrs.

Hayes.” Ella released Stefan’s hand and got up, her head dropped in reverence.

“Because of you?” Marcus inquired, and she nodded.

“Yes, Boss, everything happened because of me, and I accept full responsibility if, after learning the truth, you decide to fire me,” Stefan snarled, casting a wide glance at Ella.

“El, what are you saying?” Stefan expressed his displeasure.

“No one is going to fire you.

“You’re not going anywhere!” he said, allowing Nancy and Marcus to exchange pensive looks.

“Be clear, Ella.

What exactly happened that Stefan had to deal with the matter so harshly?” Marcus asked, giving her a full chance to speak before drawing any conclusions.

Ella braced herself to reveal the most horrific aspect of her life because she knew if she didn’t, Stefan would be blamed for something he didn’t do.

Clasping her hands together, she stared at the two anxiously and opened her mouth to begin, divulging every detail of her life and her relationship with Priscilla and Jack.

Stefan remained looking at the girl who never flinched while telling his parents the most disturbing portion of her life.

He was quite proud of her for finally not feeling ashamed of being herself or worrying about what others thought of her.

She was ready to tell them the truth, and in exchange, they would welcome the conclusion with open arms.

He underestimated Ella’s inner strength, but with his support and understanding, she bloomed like a phoenix.

Silence filled the room after she spilled her heart out to them while looking down at the floor.

“I understand that such important decisions should not be taken emotionally, and I am prepared to face the consequences, but please Stefan has nothing to do with this.

He did it for me, and I will be eternally grateful to him,” she said after a lengthy quiet.

Stefan glanced at his parents, his eyes quietly pleading with him.

“M-Mom, Dad this-” “Stop,” Nancy lifted her hand, preventing Stefan from speaking.

“What punishment are you expecting, Ella?” she said, her gaze drawn to the girl, who continued to keep her head down.

“Anything,” she said softly yet firmly.

Ella was nervous, but she was prepared to face whatever lay ahead of her.

Nancy gave her husband a deep look, and he smiled and nodded before she stood up and walked over to Ella.

“You know, I’ve often wondered what kind of girl could keep my son intact.

Someone who had never taken life seriously and was always a free spirit suddenly becomes a responsible person to the point where he will not hesitate to stand up for the girl he admires more than anything else in his life.” Ella looked at Nancy and watched her smile.

“You seriously thought till now I haven’t been exposed to reality about what’s going on between your two?” Stefan’s mouth dropped as his gaze shifted from Nancy to Marcus.

“We have known it for a while now, but were waiting for you two to finally come clean to us.” Marcus mentioned something that surprised Ella and Stefan.

Marcus had previously been informed about Stefan and Ella’s tight relationship when rumors began to circulate at work.

He would have opposed or ignored it, but when he saw him and Ella leaving after work on his bike or in his car, his worries gradually began to be confirmed.

He had discussed it with Nancy, and one day they found out about his relationship with the girl named Dove.

Everything began to make sense to them.

They were confirmed when Marcus questioned the employee who had circulated the accusations about them and later learnt about Priscilla from her.

Stefan and Ella were completely unaware of what was going on.

Marcus and Nancy had always admired Ella, and their decision to trust her with Stefan was instinctive.

They knew that under her supervision, Stefan would finally find his way in life, and that’s exactly what happened: their son transformed into a better version of himself, and more than that, he became a serious individual.

She absolutely altered him without expecting anything in return.

It would be a stupid decision to exclude such a lovely girl from their son’s life.

He was head over heals for her, and they were eager to welcome her, not because she was their son’s choice, but because deep down they wished to have her as their daughter.

“So, you both knew about everything all along!” Stefan snapped, shifting his attention back and forth from his parents.

“Of course.

What made you believe I’d wait for the day you’d introduce her.

I was already looking into it,” Nancy shrugged casually, perplexing both Stefan and Ella.
