Chapter 295 - Rebecca's evil intentions(I)

"Don't worry, I got this. Come on now, sit fast. We have an interesting drama to unfold." 

Looking at each other, Ellie and Charlotte gulped in nervousness. Left with no other choice, they quickly hopped into the car. 

….

Inside the car. 

The chauffeur who was forced to sit on the passenger seat alongside Ava, nervously inquired, "Madam, I can take you wherever you want to go." 

"And what makes you think I will trust you? What if you take us somewhere and murder us?" 

"Madam, what are you saying? I would never hurt you or anyone," the chauffeur exclaimed. 

"Then why did you insist on taking Ellie alone? Why did you hesitate after seeing me? What were you up to?" When he did not say anything, Ava shrugged her shoulders, "Maybe you wanted to harm Ellie?" 

Widening his eyes in shock, he snapped, "Why would I harm Ms. Ellie?" 

"Exactly, I am waiting for you to tell me what you are up to or maybe you will speak when Seb or dad will ask you the same question," she stated before turning on the engine. "You have one last chance to tell me because if I start driving, this car will directly stop in the main mansion." 

Contemplating for a while, the chauffeur hesitantly answered, "M-Madam told me to fetch Ms. Ellie from here and—" 

"And what?" 

"S-She told me to bring her somewhere." Without waiting for anyone's reply, he further explained, "But I don't know anything after that. She told me to pick her up and take her to the address she had provided." 

"What?" Ellie frowned. 

Looking at Ellie, Ava scoffed, "She is my mother El, when I say she is up to something, it means she is definitely up to something. Some people never change no matter what happens and Rebecca Stewart happens to fall in that category of people." Without wasting any more time, she drove away. 

....

Sebastian parent's place. 

"Why are you so interested in the wedding all of a sudden? Where was this enthusiasm until yesterday?" Arthur suspiciously inquired. 

"Sebastian is my only son, if we don't prepare for his wedding who will? And I don't want some middle wedding for him—" 

Cutting her off, Sebastian snapped, "Everything has been already arranged, you don't have to take all the trouble. Just come to the wedding and give us your blessings, Ellie and I will be more than happy with that." 

Without waiting for her reply, he was about to leave when Noah, Melissa and Calvin arrived. 

Scrunching his brows, Sebastian inquired, "What are you people doing here?" 

"We were on our way to the hotel when Ava told us to come here instead," Calvin answered. 

"Yes, seems like she has something important to say," Melissa added. 

Just then, Brandon, Owen and June arrived as well. When they told everyone the same thing, Sebastian quickly called Ava. 

"She is not receiving the call," Calvin informed. 

Scrunching his brows, he quickly called Ellie, hoping they would be together. 

…..

Inside the car. 

"It's Seb." 

"Pick up and tell him we will be there in ten. Ask him to keep everyone there, including dad and mom," Ava instructed. 

"El, where are you?" 

"I am with Ava and Charlotte, we are coming. Is everything already there?" Ellie inquired. 

"Yes, everyone is here but what happened?" 

"I—I can't tell you anything clearly but Ava wants you to keep everyone there until we arrive." 

"You are okay, right?" he panicked. 

"Yes, I am fine and so is Ava and Charlotte. We will be there in ten, wait for us," she answered before hanging up the call. 

Looking at Ava, Ellie sighed, "Can we not make a scene out of this? Can't we just let it go?" With the wedding around the corner, she didn't want to make a scene.

"Of course not, there is no way I am going to let her slip out of this so easily. Mom always thinks she can win no matter what it is. Now it's time to make her realize things won't always work according to her will," Ava explained. 

….. 

Sebastian's parents' place.

"What happened? Are they okay?" Arthur inquired. 

"Yes, they are coming here. Ava wants everyone to stay here," Sebastian informed. 

Just then, Rebecca's phone started ringing. Glancing at the caller ID, she quickly hung up the call. 

Melissa, who was standing not too far away, didn't fail to notice the sudden change in Rebecca's expression. 

When she repeated the same action a couple of times, Melissa called her out. "I think you should receive the call aunt, maybe it's something important." 

Before Rebecca could say anything, Ava entered the mansion along with the chauffeur, Ellie and Charlotte. 

"Ah great, everyone is here. Just like I wanted," Ava sighed in relief before turning towards the chauffeur. "Now why don't you tell everyone the exact same thing you told us in the car." 

"Bryce? What are you doing with them?" When he did not say anything, Arthur frowned, "What is going on? Will anyone tell me?" 

"Master I—" Stopping midway, he looked at Rebecca, hoping she would rescue him. 

"Let's just cut the chase, I don't have the patience to wait for him to speak anymore." Looking at Sebastian, Ava inquired, "Did you send him to take Ellie?" 

"My driver told me that the car broke down and since I was here, I instructed the security to send someone else instead. But I had no idea, he was the one fetching Ellie," Sebastian answered. 

"And moreover, aren't you aunt Rebecca's personal chauffeur? And as far as I know, no one is supposed to use you apart from her so why did you go?" Noah curiously inquired. 

"What is going on Bryce? Tell me everything," Arthur snapped. 

"Before we get into that, why don't we call the security and question him," Ava stated before looking at Sebastian. 

"I'll call him over." 

After a few minutes, the security guard whom Sebastian had instructed to send another car and driver to fetch Ellie came over. 

"Did Sebastian ask you to send a car to fetch Ellie today?" When the guard nodded his head, Ava further inquired, "Okay, why did you send Bryce over? Was it spontaneous or someone instructed you to do so?"
