Ch. 151..160

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 151

Bella’s POV:

“Mom, I know. You’ve said the same thing many times.” Although I was complaining, my tone was gentle.

Mom rolled her eyes at me and said, “I hope you can have a good life, but you always think I’m nagging.” “Oh, no, dear mom, I don’t think of it that way.” I said immediately. Mother smiled kindly and then asked, “By the way, when are you going to hold a wedding? You didn’t prepare for the wedding last time, so you have to prepare for it this time?” I said, “Herbert said that the wedding will take two months to prepare, so we will apply for our marriage certificate first. He said it would be more grand, but I think those complicated procedures are annoying.”

“It’s good that you’ve come up with a plan. We still need a wedding. In addition, if you don’t hold a wedding, this means that the relatives of the Wharton Family don’t approve of your existence. You’ll only suffer even more.” Mother reminded. I didn’t say anything. I just nodded to show that I understood. Herbert and I were not in the same level. Although we loved each other very much, I also knew that we still have a lot of problems to solve. We would face a lot of things in the future. For the sake of the person I loved, I would face it bravely. Herbert’s POV: “Boss, please sign this document.” I took the document and took a look at it. Suddenly, my phone rang. When I saw the flashing phone number on the screen, I couldn’t help frowning. I signed on the document and handed it to my subordinate. Then I took the phone and answered it. I pressed the answer button, and a woman’s aggrieved voice came from the other end of the phone. “Herbert.”

“Have you arrived in England?” I asked. I selected the best doctor in England for Caroline. “I’ve arrived,” Caroline replied. “What’s the matter? I’m busy with work.” I didn’t have time to listen to some unimportant things. Caroline seemed to be about to cry. “Herbert, I’m very lonely and afraid. Can you let me come back? I promise I won’t disturb you and Bella. As long as occasionally look at you, I will be very satisfied!” I frowned and said, “You have to keep your promise, Caroline.” “Herbert, are you really so heartless? You want to abandon me completely for Bella, don’t you?” Her tone became tough, which made me angry instantly. “Caroline, if it weren’t for the past feelings, I wouldn’t care about you now. Don’t continue to kidnap me with the past feelings. I love Bella now, and I can’t have any more contact with you!”

“Herbert, you’re too cruel!” Caroline’s voice was cold. “Caroline, we’re done. I hope you can understand this. I still have work to do. Goodbye!” After that, I hung up the phone. But I was still very angry. In order to calm down, I lit a cigarette.. After my mood gradually eased, I suddenly thought of something, and my mood suddenly became very happy. I took my phone and saw that Bella had not replied. Wasn’t she awake yet? That day, I completed my work very quickly and went home very early. Bella was busy in the narrow kitchen, wearing an apron. “Have a rest first. Dinner will be ready soon!” Bella said. I walked behind her and hugged her from behind.

Bella’s smile was beautiful and charming.

“What did you do today? Why didn’t you reply my text message?” I kissed her delicate neck. Bella drew back her neck and said with a smile, I went shopping with Joey to buy clothes. By the way, I went to my mother’s place. I frowned. “You went shopping? I thought you were going to continue looking for work!” Bella immediately turned around with the kitchen knife in her hand and complained, “I already found a job yesterday. You don’t care about me at all. You don’t know anything about my situation.” “A job? You can’t blame me? You didn’t tell me, did you?” I shrugged, looking very innocent. “Did I have a chance to tell you yesterday?” Bella complained in a low voice. Yesterday…

I recalled what happened yesterday and couldn’t help laughing. Bella really didn’t have time to tell me about her work yesterday. We spent most of our time making love. “What are you laughing at?” Bella asked. I held Bella’s shoulder and said, “Can we have a talk in bed tonight?” “You can only go to bed when you sleep tonight, don’t you know?” Bella showed a little resistance. It seemed that I played her too hard last night. | also wanted to be gentle, but when I touched Bella’s skin, I couldn’t restrain myself. Bella had a kind of magic that made me lose my mind. “Okay, let’s not go to bed first. Although your sofa is a little small, it’s enough.” I kissed her forehead. Bella gave me a little push. “Be serious, okay?” “I’m very serious now.” My eyes fell on the sofa. It was indeed a little small, but it shouldn’t affect the movements of Bella and I. At this time, Bella seemed to be angry. She said, “I quit today. I’m not cooking!” After that, she really took off her apron and threw it aside.

Looking at her pouting with anger, I felt inexplicably happy. My Bella was so cute even when she was angry.

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 152

Bella’s POV:

As soon as I walked out of the kitchen, the man behind me grabbed my arm and held me in his arms.

I wanted to push him away, but I couldn’t.

He pinched my chin and asked with a smile, “Are you really angry?”

“Yes!” I nodded hard.

Herbert looked at me with a gentle smile on his face. He said, “I found that you look more beautiful when you are angry.”

These words made me laugh again. My hand patted him on his shoulder. I really had no way to be completely angry with him. “How about I take you to dinner tonight?” Herbert suddenly suggested. I immediately agreed. I was really tired today. I didn’t want to prepare dinner.

“I want to eat barbecued meat.” I looked up and said.

“You can eat whatever you want.” said Herbert.

I felt that he was really gentle now and he respected my preferences. This feeling was very comfortable. I liked my current state very much.

As expected, Herbert took me to eat barbecued meat; a high-end barbecue restaurant. It tasted very good. Tate a lot, and most of the time, Herbert looked at me with gentle love in his eyes. When I looked at him, I had a feeling of being doted on. This feeling was too beautiful. I prayed in my heart. I hoped that time could go on like this until we became old! After the barbecue, we strolled back to my apartment. After we entered the door, he came over and hugged me. His hand had reached into my clothes. “I’m so tired. I don’t have any strength at all. I want to take a shower and then sleep immediately.” I really couldn’t hold on any longer. I experienced five climaxes last night, and I wanted to rest tonight. But Herbert refused to let me go. “Don’t you have enough strength to eat so much barbecued meat?”

“Is this why you took me to eat barbecue?” I asked “No, it’s not. But now I really want you…” Herbert directly took me into the room.

In the next hour, I was played by Herbert again, My desire was quickly aroused, and finally, I reached the peak. After a quiver, I hugged him tightly and screamed his name loudly, “Herbert!”

I was so tired that I didn’t want to take a shower. I just fell asleep in his arms.

“After we get our marriage certificate tomorrow, I have a big gift for you!” He whispered in my ear. “What gift…” I asked. “You’ll find out tomorrow.” He planted a kiss on my shoulder and covered me with a blanket. Later, I only remembered that he seemed to have entered my body again at night, and I kept my eyes closed all the way. Anyway, I couldn’t stop him. I could only spread out my hands and feet and let him pound my body… The next day, I was awakened by the cries of birds outside the window. The sun has risen, and Herbert was not at home. I sat up and looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost nine o’clock.

He went to work again? No, he said he was going to get the marriage certificate with me this morning, wasn’t he?

Did he forget about the marriage certificate? If he forgot about it, I would beat him up. The next moment, I picked up my phone and wanted to call Herbert. I turned on my phone and saw a text message on the screen. The text message was from Herbert. “Baby, I’m sorry. There’s an important short meeting in the company this morning that I have to attend. Shall we meet at the marriage registration office at 10 o’clock?”

The text message was sent an hour ago. I quickly typed a reply.

“Okay.” “See you at 10 o’clock.” Herbert replied. I knew that he must have an important meeting, so I didn’t reply to the text message. Instead, I began to change my clothes and did my makeup. Today was a special day. I wanted to appear in my most beautiful state. By the time everything was ready, it was already 9:30. I was very satisfied with my current state. Soft long hair, delicate light makeup, a black high-collar sweater, and a red fur coat with black boots and a black bag. I was very beautiful. These were newly bought in the mall yesterday, and I spent a lot of money on them. However, they were indeed different from my usual casual style. Before going out, I didn’t forget to put the wedding ring on my finger. He would definitely be happy to see it. After that, I quickly went out of the door and called a taxi to the marriage registration office. Twenty minutes later, I was already sitting on a row of chairs in the reception room. I was excited. The first time I applied for the marriage certificate with Herbert, I was completely at a loss. I was very happy this time, because I wanted to be with my beloved forever. No matter how hard our life was in the future, I would eventually stand with him. I looked at those couples who came to register while waiting for Herbert, and their faces were full of happy smiles. I fiddled with the wedding ring in my hand and imagined what expression he would have when he came over for a while.

He should be rushing over to apologize to me? After all, today is an important day. How dare he be late!

However, there was no reply from my text message. Ten minutes later, I called him directly. However, the phone could not be connected. It’s already 10:30. I didn’t want to wait any longer. If he had something urgent or was busy with his work, he would definitely call me. But now I couldn’t get in touch with him. Was there an accident? Thinking of this, I was very nervous. I quickly found Connor’s phone number and dialed it. This time, the phone was connected. “Connor, where are you and Herbert? I can’t get through to him.” “Miss Stepanek, I’m not with boss. An hour ago, bass said that he had something important to do and left the company. He didn’t ask me to accompany him.” Connor replied.

I was even more anxious. “Did he leave an hour ago? But I didn’t see him?”

It was at most fifteen minutes drive from the Wharton Group to the marriage registration office. There was no reason that he hadn’t arrived after an hour.

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 153

Bella’s POV

Herbert left the company for an hour, but he hadn’t arrived at the office

I began to worry about his safety. I was worried that something would happen to himn on the way

I turned around and walked out of the marriage registration office.

I walked from the marriage registration office to the Wharton Group

I didn’t see any car accident along the way

I was a little more relaxed. After all, it meant that Herbert did not have any accident. Maybe he was delayed by something important at the moment. It was almost twelve o’clock at the moment. I walked for almost an hour in high heels. My feet hurt a little, so I found a row chair and sat down. Where on earth was Herbert? Why couldn’t I get through to him? What thing was more important than our marriage? I dialed Herbert’s phone countless times, but I still couldn’t get through.

A while later, my phone suddenly rang. I immediately answered the phone and said eagerly, “Herbert, where are you…” Before I could finish my words, Joey’s anxious voice came from the other end of the line. “Bella, what are you doing? Why can’t I get through to you?” I said, “I’ve been calling Herbert, but I can’t get through Joey asked, “What’s going on between you and Herbert?” “What’s going on?” Joey’s tone was a little anxious, and I felt uneasy.

“I remember you said that you’re going to marry Herbert today?” Joey asked anxiously.

“Yeah, what’s wrong?” I felt that Joey’s question was very strange.

“Herbert is holding a press conference now, announcing that he is going to marry Caroline!” Joey said.

“What… did you say?”

How was this possible? Joey must be joking with me!! Joey’s tone softened a little. “Bella, where are you now?” “I’m at the ground floor of the Wharton Group. Today, I’ve agreed to go with Herbert to get our marriage certificate, but I couldn’t find him. That’s why I ran all the way here to take a look. Not even Connor knows where he went.” My mood had become extremely chaotic. Was what Joey said just now true?

If it wasn’t true, then where was Herbert now?

He was going to marry Caroline? No, that was absolutely impossible. Didn’t Caroline go to Europe? “Bella, wait for me. I’ll come down right away!” Joey said and hung up the phone. Looking at the cars passing by in front of me. I felt very complicated

What was going on? Although I didn’t believe what Joey just said, I still felt uneasy What was going לחס

A few minutes later, I saw Joey walking out of the company. I waved at her, and she ran towards me Joey walked up to me but didn’t say anything.

This made me even more anxious. I said, “What happened? Tell me quickly!”

At this moment, I knew that Joey was not talking nonsense. There must be a reason behind this.

“Take a look at it yourself.” Joey turned on her phone and clicked on the group chat with the staff of the Wharton Group.

I took the phone and saw a video. Then I reached out and clicked on the video.

Immediately, a conference room appeared in the video. Many reporters were taking photos with cameras.

Soon, a handsome man in a black suit walked into the picture, and next to him was a beautiful woman holding his arm.

My heart beat faster in an instant.

It was Caroline and Herbert.

Did they really announce their marriage? My hands were trembling. “This was sent to the group by a senior executive of the Wharton Group more than half an hour ago. As soon as this video was sent out, the entire company was shocked,” Joey said.

Soon, the media began to interview Herbert and Caroline in the video.

“Mr. Wharton, you’ve invited all of the media here today. Is there anything important to announce?” “Mr. Wharton, may I ask who this beautiful young lady beside you is? Do you have good news to share with us?” In the face of the reporter’s interview, Herbert’s expression had always been cold, and there was no smile on his face. Next to him, Caroline was very happy. She had been smiling all the time, with pride and victory in her smile.

Herbert took the microphone and gave a simple answer to the media. “Everyone, I invited you to come here today to announce a piece of news to everyone. The person beside me is Miss Caroline, who has been in love with me for many years. After careful consideration, we decided to get married in the near future!” Then the video call ended.

My eyes were fixed on the phone screen. I couldn’t believe it was true, so I quickly replayed the vide again. After watching it several times, I completely believed it. Everything was true. No one had made it up. Why? Didn’t Caroline go to Europe? Herbert had been lying to me!!

Why did he do that? If he didn’t love me, he could have stayed away from me! Why did he hurt me in this way? Was this all planned by him? The smile on Caroline’s face was as bright as sunshine. My heart seemed to have been cut open, and my hand grabbed the clothes on my chest.

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 154

Bella’s POV:

My mind went blank, and I was in a daze.

“Bella, don’t be like this. I’m very worried about you.”

I turned to look at Joey blankly and said, “This morning, he left a message saying that he would

hange in just a few hours? Why did he do that? What the hell is going on?”

Joey lowered her eyes and remained silent for a moment. Then, she said, “Wake up, Bella. Maybe we were wrong from the very beginning. We thought that Herbert would fall in love with you and cherish you. But in fact, we forgot our identities. We are all commoners. Even if a rich man like Herbert has a good impression of a commoner, he will only play with her feelings. He won’t really get married with her!”

These words pulled me back to reality. I cried out in pain, “He doesn’t need to marry me or love me. Why would he lie to me?”

I clenched my fists and hit on the iron chair hard.

I was agitated. Joey hugged me and comforted me. “Bella, don’t hurt yourself. Forget him! There will be a better life in the future. Just pretend that this person has never appeared in your life.”

My whole person was still wrapped in sadness. My hopes and my happiness, were all shattered. This morning, I was still imagining the future life of Herbert and I. But now, he was going to be the husband of another woman. I hugged Joey and cried. Joey held me in her arms and patted me on the back. The days when I was with Herbert kept flashing in my mind. In the end, I noticed the diamond ring on my left hand. Tears blurred my sight, but everything that happened yesterday flashed clearly in my mind. Then I suddenly looked up from Joey‘s arms. “No! I don’t believe it’s true. There must be a reason!” Joey wiped my tears with a tissue. “What do you want to do?” “I want to ask him personally. I have to know what happened!” I said stubbornly.

Joey replied, “Herbert is not in the company now. He should be with Caroline. Why don’t I go with you to find him and see what he’s going to say?” “Thank you, Joey.” I nodded.

Joey sighed. “You’re my best friend. There’s no need to thank me. I’ll go with you!” “You’re the best, Joey.” I held Joey’s hand tightly. Then, I took out my cell phone, hesitated for a moment, and dialed Herbert’s number. Ring… Ring… The phone rang for more than a dozen times. When I was about to hang up, the phone was connected.

14:04D “Hello?”

At the other end of the phone came Herbert’s deep voice, and I instantly became nervous.

Then, there was a burst of silence. None of us spoke.

Two minutes later, I broke the silence. “Where are you? I want to see you immediately!”

He hesitated for a moment before saying, “I’m at home. Come over.”

I could hear the alienation in Herbert’s tone on the phone, which hurt my heart. Then I hung up the

phone.

“How is it?” Joey asked with concern.

“He told me to meet him at his place,” I replied.

“I’ll go with you,” Joey said.

“I’ll go myself.” I refused.

“No, I have to go with you. If you go alone, you may be bullied by them,” Joey said.

Joey’s words reminded me. Yes, them!

Perhaps she was in Herbert’s house.

Then, I nodded. Joey called a taxi. I got in the car with Joey sadly and rushed to Herbert’s house.

Joey accompanied me to Herbert’s house.

I looked at the tightly shut door. I was a little scared. I didn’t know what to do if Caroline was by Herbert’s side.

At this moment, my heart seemed to be grabbed by a pair of big hands. Joey held my hand tightly. “Don’t be afraid. It’s not your fault. They’re the ones at fault.” After that, Joey pressed the doorbell for me. Soon, someone came in and opened the door. Miranda opened the door and saw me standing outside. She couldn’t help but feel dumbfounded. “Miss Stepanek, you came?” Miranda asked.

“We’re here for Herbert,” Joey said as she pulled me through the door.

Entering Herbert’s house, I found that the carpet, curtains, and all the decorations on the ground were still the same as when I left.

I looked at everything that I once arranged, and my emotions were more complicated. My eyes were a little wet. At this time, the sound of high heels could be heard. I turned around and saw Caroline walking out of the bedroom.

Although I had already guessed it, I was still shocked when I saw her appear in Herbert’s house with my own eyes!

Caroline said mockingly, “Miss Stepanek, I truly admire you for being able to trample upon your dignity.”

Caroline’s attitude hurt me.

I wasn’t in the mood to argue with her. I said, “Where’s Herbert? I want to see him!”

Caroline crossed her arms in front of her chest and continued, “Bella, if I were you, I would leave

immediately. Herbert doesn’t want to see you at all. If you do this, you will only make yourself feel more humiliated!” I didn’t want to listen to Caroline.

I turned around and was about to go inside to look for Herbert, but Caroline immediately stopped me!

“What do you want to do?” Caroline shouted at me. “Herbert, come out!” I shouted in the direction of the bedroom.

Joey rushed over and pushed Caroline away. She pointed at her and said, “This is not your home. What right do you have to say this? You and Herbert haven’t officially gotten married yet, and you’re not the hostess here yet!”

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 155

Bella’s POV:

“When I become the mistress of this place, it will be the day that you’ll be kicked out of the Wharton Group!” Caroline roared viciously at Joey.

“Herbert is a blind man. How could he marry you? I’m telling you, I quit!” Joey pointed at Caroline’s nose and scolded.

“Miranda, chase these two b*tch out of here!” Caroline began to drive them away.

Miranda walked over slowly and said to Joey, “Ladies, please leave.” I took a look at Miranda and shouted with tears streaming down my face, “Herbert, come out if you’re a man! Don’t hide like a tortoise!”

The next moment, the bedroom door was opened.

A man in black trousers and a white shirt came out of the bedroom.

In an instant, the living room fell into silence. I cried and watched him walk toward me step by step. I stared at his expressionless face.

We just looked at each other without saying a word.

I couldn’t figure out what he was thinking and I didn’t dare to speak.

Next to him, Caroline stepped forward and took Herbert’s arm. “Herbert, tell her that we are going to get married soon. Ask her not to pester you in the future!” Caroline held his arm, but Herbert didn’t refuse. “Herbert, no matter what choice you make, you owe me an explanation!” I stared at him. At this moment, my hand grabbed the hem of my shirt tightly, and there was a voice in my heart shouting, “Herbert, give me an explanation.” I kept telling myself that everything was fake. I wanted to know his real thoughts… As long as he gave me an explanation, I would believe that we could still be together happily as before.

But he didn’t. Herbert was silent for a long time before he said, “Bella, I’m sorry!” This sentence was like a big stone pressing down on my heart, making me feel so painful that I couldn’t breathe. I took three steps back until my feet touched the wall. Joey couldn’t help but blame Herbert. “Herbert, can an apology make up for the harm? Since you don’t want to marry Bella, why did you approach her? You’re so shameless! You scum!” “Joey, I’m warning you. If you continue to insult my man, I’ll teach you a lesson!” Caroline warned Joey.

“Bah! Your man? You can keep such a şcum for yourself!” Joey cursed. I didn’t hear the quarrel between Caroline and Joey behind at all. I looked up into Herbert’s eyes and asked slowly, “Are you really going to marry her?” | 14:05D “Yes.” Herbert nodded.

“Have you ever loved me?” I asked. I wanted to ask him now. I didn’t want to have any regrets in the future.

Herbert frowned and didn’t say a word. My eyes were fixed on him, waiting for his answer. At this time, Caroline suddenly looked at Herbert and said with a smile, “Herbert, we’ll be very happy if we still have Lucas in the future. Tell this woman that you’ve never loved her!” I didn’t care about what Caroline said. I was waiting for Herbert’s answer. “The two of them are talking. Don’t speak!” Joey yelled at her. “I think you’re the one who should keep quiet!” Caroline retorted. “You…” Joey wanted to say something but Herbert, who had been silent for a long time suddenly opened his mouth. “Bella, I made a mistake that every man would make. I’m sorry!” Herbert looked at me and said. “What do you mean? What do you mean by making a nistake that every man will make?” I stared at him and asked.

At this time, Herbert suddenly looked at Caroline beside him and said, “I just have a little good impression of you. The person I love most is Caroline, so I can’t marry you. The person I marry can only be Caroline. Don’t bother me anymore, and I won’t see you again!” Hearing this, I almost collapsed on the ground. Fortunately, Joey held me up, so I was not so embarrassed.

Joey pointed at the two and cursed, “Herbert, are you a human? How can you say that? You rich men are not good people! And you, what are you proud of? You just got yourself a jerk!” Herbert did not refute the curses. Caroline pointed angrily at Joey and I, and said, “Please get out. You’re not welcome here!” I felt great pain in my chest. I looked up at Herbert and suppressed my sadness. “Since you’ve made up your mind, I wish you a happy marriage. Take this back and pretend that we’ve never known each other in the future!” After that, I took off the diamond ring on my left ring finger, threw it on Herbert, and then turned away with tears. I ran out of Herbert’s house as fast as I could and cried as I ran. Joey caught up with me and accompanied me. Feeling that my heart was hollowed out, I suddenly hugged Joey and cried, “Joey, take me… home, I want to go home!” Joey hugged me and patted my back comfortingly. “All right, I’ll take you home right away!” Then, Joey took me to a taxi.

I looked at everything outside the window blankly, and tears kept flowing down from my eyes…

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 156

Herbert’s POV

I stood by the window and watched Bella leave. The extreme sadness made me feel suffocated.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, the sound of the door being opened came from behind. It was the voice of Caroline. “That woman has left for an hour. You won’t be able to see her again.”

gave her an order. “I’ve done what you asked me to do. Give Lucas back to me!” “Lucas is doing well now. I’ll arrange for you to meet him some time later.” I turned around angrily, grabbed Caroline by the shoulder, and growled, “Don’t play tricks on me, or won’t let you go.”

“I won’t hurt Lucas. You did what I said, but you haven’t married me yet. I can’t rest assured. If I return Lucas to you and you cancel the wedding, what should I do?” Caroline looked straight at me. I was annoyed by Caroline. My hands exerted a little force on her shoulder, but she didn’t even frown.

On the contrary, she smiled and said, “I know you are very capable. With your character, you will definitely find a way to find Lucas, but I’m afraid it will be very difficult this time. Don’t forget that my father used to be a high-ranking official in the military. Even if he no longer has the power of the past, he still has many old subordinates in the past, and they have all gone through special training. After they transferred jobs, they set up a security company. Now Lucas has been entrusted to them, so you can completely rest assured of Lucas’s safety!” “Where is Lucas?” I asked again. “Lucas has already been transferred out of the city. I’ll send you a video of him tonight. He’s very good, still naughty and lovely.” Caroline looked at me and said with a sneer.

I slowly let go of her shoulder. In the next moment, Caroline raised her face to look at me and said with a smile, “Herbert, if you want to see Lucas soon, you have to prepare for our wedding. I promise that on the night we get married, you can see Lucas!”

At this moment, Bella’s sad expression appeared in my mind, and my heart felt as if it had been torn apart.

I didn’t want to marry Caroline. I wanted to reject her! But when I thought of the safety of Lucas, I finally chose to compromise.

Lucas was my weakness.

“We can hold the wedding next week,” I said after thinking for a while. Caroline nodded happily. “Okay, I want a grand wedding.” “Okay, I promise you. You can go out now. I want to be alone.” Then I looked elsewhere and didn’t want to look at that person anymore. Caroline had achieved her goal. She smiled at me and then left the room. After the door was closed, I immediately lit a cigarette and looked out of the window.

14:06 D I was in a meeting this morning when I received a call from Caroline. I didn’t answer it. I didn’t want to be entangled by her anymore. However, very soon, I received a photo of Lucas. She sent it to me and told me that Lucas was in her hands.

When I saw Lucas, I panicked. After that, I immediately ended the meeting and went to the place designated by Caroline to meet her.

It turned out that after I saw her off last time, she didn’t board the plane at all, but stayed. I was cheated, which made me very angry. But I was threatened by her. I couldn’t do anything to her. I could only listen to her request. So I immediately held a press conference to announce my marriage with her. Caroline wanted me to tell Bella that I couldn’t marry her and that I loved Caroline when she came to me. When I said those words, I felt very uncomfortable. But I could only do as Caroline said. I had to ensure Lucas’s safety. I knew Bella would be very sad, but she was safe for the time being. The only thing I could do was to get Lucas back first. After everything was settled, I would go to look for Bella after dealing with Caroline. By then, I would explain everything clearly and hope that Bella would forgive me. I didn’t expect that Caroline would find a professional security company this time, and Lucas had been transferred out of the city. It was very bad. I lowered my head and pondered for a few minutes. Then I put out the cigarette butt between my fingers and put it in the ashtray. I picked up my coat and walked out. As soon as I got out of the room, Caroline came up to me. “Where are you going?” “There are still many things waiting for me in the company. Can I ignore them?” I said angrily. I never thought that Caroline would do such a thing. “You can’t give up my job. I’ll go with you!” Caroline turned to get her coat. I knew she must be worried that I would find Bella. I had to remain calm before I find Lucas. And I couldn’t look for Bella as well. If Bella knew that Lucas was missing, she would definitely be more anxious. If Caroline turned her attention to Bella and attacked Bella, things would get worse. So I didn’t stop Caroline.

Then, I went out with Caroline…

Bella’s POV: Joey brought me back to my rented apartment. I laid in bed like a dummy for three days. For the first time, I felt a sense of despair. I had never felt this way no matter how many setbacks had suffered in the past. In the past, I had never experienced Herbert’s sincere love. I would not be particularly sad even if I lost something I never had. But this time was different. I could clearly feel his love and warmth. I finally put down all my guard and chose to believe him. When I was full of expectation and loved him the most, he told me that everything was fake. That kind of pain tore up all my expectations of love. From then on, I wouldn’t believe in love anymore. But life still had to go on. I still had my mother and sister to take care of. I had to cheer up. It was not worth it to destroy myself for a bad man. On the fourth morning, my sadness was suppressed. I walked to the mirror in the sink and saw a haggard face. Her hair was messy, her eyes were red and swollen, and her body was very dirty. Even I disliked myself. Then I took a comb and began to comb my messy hair. I took a hot shower to clean myself and said goodbye to the past. After that, I threw all the things that had been stained by Herbert’s body into the trash can, and then changed it into a whole set of clean bedding products. By the time I was done, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon. In the past three days, I didn’t eat well. I was a little weak now. I just left a jerk. I couldn’t let myself suffer, so I immediately prepared delicious lunch for myself. Just as I was enjoying my lunch, the door was suddenly opened with a key from the outside…

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 157

Bella’s POV:

Joey was here.

Joey carried her luggage into the house “You want to move in?” I looked at Joey who was depressed. Joey glanced at me and immediately put down the things in her hand and walked towards me. “What are you eating? It smells so good. I want to eat it!” Joey directly grabbed the bowl in front of me and began to eat with chopsticks. What was going on? i was out of love now. Why did Joey snatch my food? “Save some for me!” Joey finished my lunch. Joey put down her chopsticks and praised, “Your cooking skill is getting better and better!” Joey looked around and said, “It’s so clean? It seems that you have come out of the pain of being out of love.” “How is there a friend like you? I just broke up. Do you know that? You‘re even here to snatch my food.” I pursed my lips and said with a smile. Joey glanced at me and nodded. “You’re all smiling. Looks like you’re really cured. Sigh, I’m a little miserable!” “What’s wrong?” I asked in confusion. “I’ll announce one thing. From now on, you have to take me in.” Joey began to open the luggage and unpacked.

I immediately followed her and asked, “Where’s the house you rented? Why did you ask me to take you in? Although I’m out of love, I’ve come out of the pain of being out of love. You don’t have to come and accompany me. I’m not going to take things too hard, let alone jump off a building.” Joey rolled her eyes at me and sat down on the sofa with a pile of clothes in her arms. She complained, “I’m worse off than you now, okay? You’re just in love. I’m fired. Do you understand? And my rental will be due in the next two days. I‘ve been waiting for my salary to pay the rent. I told the

landlord I would not continue renting.” I frowned. Then I grabbed Joey’s hand and asked, “You lost your job? Did Herbert take revenge on you?”

That day, I really shouldn’t have had Joey accompany me to look for Herbert. Joey was, after all, an employee of the Wharton Group.

Joey offended Herbert and Caroline because of me. I felt very guilty.

“It’s not the Boss, it’s Caroline. It’s that Caroline.” “Caroline returned to the company and her supervisor post was restored. She often find trouble with me, so I submitted a resignation letter. I’ll start looking for a new job tomorrow!” Joey said casually. I was very guilty. “I’m sorry, Joey. It’s all because of me.”

She lost her job because of me. I was really sorry. Joey smiled and said, “Why don’t you let me stay with you for a few months?” I nodded hastily. “Not only would I take you in for a few months, but I will also provide you with free breakfast, lunch, dinner, fruit, milk, and all kinds of daily necessities you need.” “Thank you, dear.” Joey smiled. I took my phone and found that it was out of power. I quickly charged it and turned it on. As soon as my phone was turned on, a text message popped up immediately. I suddenly pat my head.

“Oh no!”

“What’s wrong?” Joey asked with a frown. “Yesterday I agreed that I would go to the new company to work, but I forgot about it because I was too sad. As a result, the company sent me a text yesterday and told me that I didn’t need to go. Someone had already filled that position!” I replied with a pout.

Joey said, “It’s just a small matter. Anyway, you’re not satisfied with that small company. Why don’t you come with me to find a new job tomorrow? We can find a job in the same company and take care of each other in the future.” “Okay.” I nodded. Ring… Ring…

Suddenly, my phone rang.

I looked down and said to Joey, “My mom’s calling” Then I answered the phone.

“Mom, what’s the matter?” I said to the phone. My mother sounded a little anxlous. “Bella, why can’t I get through your phone? Something happened at home. Come back quickly!” “What happened, Mother? Don’t scare me.” “You’ll know when you come back. It’s urgent.” My mother hung up the phone. There was a strong sense of anger in my mother’s tone.

“What’s wrong?” Joey asked. I said to her while wearing my coat, “My mom asked me to go home quickly. You can unpack your things. I’ll go first!” About half an hour later, I returned to my mother’s house. When I entered the house, I found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere at home. My mother was sitting on the sofa with a very serious expression. I walked to my mother’s side and said, “Mom, who made you angry?” Madam Meyer looked up at me and asked, “What’s wrong with your eyes?” “Oh, nothing. I didn’t sleep well last night.” I touched my eyes and intended to brush her off. “That’s not right. You obviously cried a lot. Tell me what happened.” Madam Meyer continued to ask.

Mom would find out that I broke up with Herbert sooner or later. I didn’t want to write lies every day, so I might as well tell mom now.

I took a deep breath and said, “Mom, Herbert and I broke up completely this time!”

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 158

Bella’s POV: “What did you say? Break up completely? I remember you telling me that you are about to get married.”

In the face of mother’s question, I lowered my eyes and replied, “We didn’t get married. We broke up completely. There will be no hope of reconciliation in the future.”

I said this on purpose so that mother would give up completely and stop thinking about the reconciliation between Herbert and I.

Mother sighed and continued to cry.

I immediately changed the subject. “Mom, why did you call me so urgently?”

Mother was even angrier. “Betty’s pregnant!”

Betty?

I looked at my mother in shock. I couldn’t believe my ears. “Betty? Pregnant? God, she’s still a student.”

“She went out early and came back very late frequently a few days ago. I didn’t pay much attention to her. This morning, I noticed her belly. I asked her who the father was, but she refused to tell me. She is still a student. How can she be a mother? You don’t know how hard it is to raise a child alone. She doesn’t know how difficult it is for a single mother.” Mother said while crying.

Although in the university, some female students were also pregnant. But mother knew the pain of a single mother, plus with her ideological culture; it was no wonder that she would be sad.

Betty was a stubborn girl, but she had always been very obedient. How could she suddenly get pregnant? I never heard of her having a boyfriend before. Thinking of this, I suddenly realized something. Betty has had a crush on Hank for a long time. Could it be… No, it was impossible. Hank was an upright person and Betty’s teacher. Besides, he had no feelings for Betty. He would never do such a thing.

Could it be that Betty had fallen in love with another man because of the stimulation of being out of love?

I immediately got up and walked to Betty’s bedroom, knocking on the door. “Come in.” Betty’s voice rang out. I opened the door and saw Betty sitting alone in front of the desk, depressed. I took a look at Betty’s belly in her pajamas and found that it was bulging. Based on my experience, the child in her belly should be more than four months old.

I frowned and was about to question her.

Betty then said, “If you want to ask me who the father is, then you don’t have to ask. I won’t say it. Also, I won’t have an abortion. I want to give birth to this baby!”

1407 Although Betty looked dispirited now, I could also feel her stubbornness.

Betty was serious. She really wanted to give birth to the baby. She was just like me in the past.

I couldn’t bear to have an abortion when I found out that I was pregnant. What’s more, Betty’s baby was already so big at this moment. She had already had feelings for the baby in her belly. She should be able to feel the movement of the baby Before I could say anything, mother rushed in. She angrily pointed at Betty and said, “You are only 19 years old. You haven’t graduated from university yet, but you want to be a mother? Do you know how hard it is to be a single mother! And why won’t you tell us who the father of the child is? Why?”

Betty did not respond to mother’s question. She just lowered her head. “Tell me, who is the man that made you pregnant?” Mother was even angrier.

Betty continued to stubbornly refuse to speak. I immediately comforted mother. “Mom, please go out first. Let me talk to Betty.” “You can’t even deal with your own affairs. How can you help your sister? Why did you break up with Herbert this time?” Mother turned her anger to me. I lowered my eyes and didn’t know how to answer her.

I was silent for two minutes before I said, “Mom, he doesn’t love me. He’s about to marry the woman he loves. Do you think I should pester him?” Mother was silent. There was pity, sympathy, and sadness in her eyes.

Mother lowered her head and said, “It’s indeed unnecessary.” After that, she lowered her head and walked out of the bedroom.

I knew that the reason why mother was silent was not only because she felt sad for me, but because she was sad for herself. It was not the right time to talk about mother and Ryan.

Now, Betty’s issue was the most important thing.

The next moment, I walked over and closed the door. Before I could say anything, Betty asked me first, “Sister, did you break up with Herbert again?” | “He doesn’t love me. I have no choice,” I replied calmly. Betty suddenly whispered, “Love is really complicated.” I tried to communicate with her by asking her, “Betty, I won’t ask who the father of the child is for the time being. It’s just that you are still a sophomore. How can you go to school if you want to give birth to a child?”

“I can take my leave first,” Betty said stubbornly. I asked again, “You don’t have the ability to live alone now. Who will raise the child if you give birth to it? Have you considered all these?” “After giving birth to the baby, I can find a job outside. I can earn money to support the baby and myself. Of course, I need your help. Sister, I really can’t bear to let go of the baby in my belly. It is now in my belly every day. It is already a part of my life. Besides, I can’t have the baby’s father. Can’t I give birth to a child of a man I love?” Betty said too agitatedly, and suddenly she cried. Hearing this. I could already quess who Betty’s child was.

I grabbed her shoulder and asked, “Betty, what did you just say? The baby in your belly belongs to Hank, isn’t it?”

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 159

Bella’s POV: Betty lowered her head and refused to speak. I continued to ask, “You don’t want to tell me? Okay! I’ll ask Hank about it.” When I got up, Betty grabbed my wrist and said, “Sister, don’t look for him. The child is his.”

It was really Hank’s child?

He was Betty’s teacher! How could he do that! I cursed angrily, “Hank is such a hypocrite! People like him don’t deserve to be a teacher!” “Sister, it’s all my fault. It’s not his fault!” Betty was still speaking for Hank. 1 asked, “It’s not his fault. Should I blame a 19-year-old girl? Could it be that you forced him with a knife?”

“It’s me… I took advantage of him while he was drunk that day…” Betty could not go on. I stared at Betty in surprise for a moment, then squinted and said in disbelief, “What did you say? You took the initiative to make love with Hank?” Betty continued, “That day, it was a party held by the academy. He was drunk, and I sent him home with my two classmates. He was very drunk, so I stayed to take care of him. Sister, I really love him. I really can’t control myself to get close to him and have him. But I didn’t expect that I was… pregnant just once!” At this point, Betty began to cry. I didn’t expect my lovely sister to have the guts to do such a thing. I was shocked and angry. “You’re already 19 years old. Don’t you have any common sense? Don’t you know that a man and a woman will get pregnant after making love? Don’t you know that you need to prepare condoms?” My God! I was so angry that I almost fainted. This was not a matter of one-night stand, but a life. It was obvious that Betty could not take care of the small baby right now. After getting angry, I calmed down and realized that I was pregnant by accident too. I was pregnant because I didn’t know how to protect myself. If it weren’t for that child, I wouldn’t have been hurt by Herbert again and again. | stroked Betty’s hair. In fact, I was a little envious of Betty’s courage. She could pursue love at all costs, but what about me? Every time I was in trouble, I would only hide the love in my heart. I didn’t dare to pursue him or ask for him, let alone express my love when he didn’t love me. Compared to Betty, I constrained myself. I didn’t have Betty’s courage. The next moment, Betty took my hand and begged, “Sister, can you let me give birth to the baby?! really can’t lose the baby. Moreover, I have already gone to the hospital to ask the doctor. I have been pregnant for more than four months. If I want to have an abortion, I can only have a labor induction In case of an accident. I may not be able to have another baby in the future!”

14070 I lowered my head and thought for a few minutes. Then I grabbed Betty’s wrist and said, “You can give birth to the baby, but the baby’s father must agree. Let’s go. I’ll take you to Hank!” “No! I’m not going.” Betty broke free from my hand and hid in the corner. “Sister, I beg you, I can’t see him!” Betty pleaded. I looked at Betty for a few seconds and said, “Well, if you don’t go, then I’ll go directly to the university to find Hank and let all the teachers and students know that Hank made his female student pregnant.” After that, I really turned around and walked out. This method was indeed useful. Betty loved Hank too much. She wouldn’t let me do anything that would harm Hank.

“Sister, I’ll go with you!”

Betty agreed. I turned around and walked out with Betty. When she walked out of the bedroom, mother was already standing at the door. She asked, “Is the baby in your belly the professor’s child?”

Betty didn’t dare to speak. Mother slapped Betty in the face! Everything happened so suddenly. I tried to persuade my mom. “Mom, it’s not the time to teach Betty a lesson. I’ll take her to Hank. We must let him make a choice!” After that, I pulled Betty out of the door. Under Betty’s pleading, I didn’t go straight to the university to find Hank. Instead, I went to Hank’s house. Of course, I was just trying to şcare Betty. I didn’t want to make a scene at the university. After all, it was not good for Betty at all..

Betty and I waited in front of Hank’s house for more than an hour before he finally arrived.

Hank was a little surprised to see Betty and I.

“Why are you here?” Hank asked.

Although Hank’s appearance was still neat, his expression was a little dull, and there was helplessness and melancholy in his eyes.

“I brought Betty here to talk about the relationship between you and her.” My tone was a little stiff.

My sister was pregnant. No matter who was responsible, I couldn’t talk to him in a friendly way.”

Hank said indifferently, “Come in and talk.”

Then, Hank opened the door and invited Betty and I in. Betty and I sat on the sofa, and Hank was busy pouring water. I said, “There’s no need to pour water. We’re not here to drink water.” Hearing this, Hank frowned and then turned to sit on another single sofa.

Then I said, “Betty is pregnant with your child!”

Hearing this, Hank looked up at me. He didn’t have any doubts or denies. He just kept silent.

I continued, “You already know? Now I just want to know what you are going to do with my sister and her unborn baby.”

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 160

Bella’s POV: Hank frowned and clasped his hands together. A few minutes later, he raised his head and said, “I respect Betty’s will mainly. First, if Betty is willing to keep the child, I am willing to bear the responsibility. Second, if Betty doesn’t want to keep the child, I am also willing to pay all the medical fees and expenses. Of course, if you want to pay the mental damage, as long as I can afford the amount, I am willing to do it.” Hank’s tone was very serious. “I don’t want your money!” As soon as Hank finished speaking, Betty shook her head resolutely. I knew Betty would never give up her child, and from Betty’s eyes when she looked at Hank, I also knew that Betty had fallen in love with him. Therefore, I said to Hank, “My sister has been pregnant for more than four months. The doctor said that if she goes for an abortion now, it is very likely that it will affect her pregnancy in the future, so she plans to give birth to the baby!” At this point, I paused for a moment. Betty nodded desperately, while Hank nodded gently and said, “I respect Betty’s choice.” “Then as you said just now, if Betty wants to keep the child, you will be responsible. How are you going to take responsibility?” I stared at Hank and asked. Hank was silent for a moment, then looked up and said, “I’m willing to marry Betty, if Betty is willing.” Before I could say anything, Betty had already nodded with a smile. “I do!” I went on, “Since that’s the case, then get married immediately.” At this time, Betty’s face was full of smiles, without a trace of frustration. Then, Hank looked at me and said, “If we want to get married, Betty has to quit school. Why don’t we get the marriage certificate first, then wait for the right time to hold a wedding in the future? What do you think?” “I agree.” Betty replied without saying a word. I couldn’t help but feel a little worried when I saw such a situation. But I also felt that I was worrying too much. I just wanted Betty to be happy.

I could only nod and say, “That’s the only way. In addition, I hope you can treat Betty and her child well after you marry her.”

After a moment of silence, Hank said, “I will definitely do it.” After we had reached an agreement, I pulled Betty out of Hank’s house. After leaving Hank’s house, Betty complained, “Sister, I want to be with Hank! Tomorrow, Hank and I will become a legal couple.” I couldn’t help rolling my eyes at her. “Betty, if you take the initiative, it will lead to bad results. Now it’s him who wants to marry you. You should go home and wait for him. Tomorrow, he will drive over and pick you up to register.” “Okay.” Betty nodded. Seeing her obedient look, I couldn’t help laughing. My sister is going to be a mother. You can’t be so reckless in the future. I hope you can get happily married to Hank. You must take good care of

yourself and your child, understand?” “Okay.” Betty nodded and suddenly hugged me. Betty held my hand so tightly that I was a little confused. “What’s wrong?” I patted Betty’s back and asked. Betty cried again. “Sister, thank you! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know what to do.” I wiped the tears from her cheeks with my fingers and said with a smile, “Silly girl, I’m your sister. Of course i’ll help you. But it’s your fault. Now that the result is like this, there’s no need to continue to pursue it. You should live a good life and be happy in the future.” “Yes.” Betty nodded with tears in her eyes. “Let’s go. Mom is still waiting for us.” Then we went home hand in hand. The next morning, Hank came to pick Betty up and officially met mother.

I hid in the room and didn’t come out because I always felt that Hank looked at me with complicated eyes, so I didn’t want to see him.

Two hours later, Betty and Hank were very happy to get their marriage certificate. She was totally different from the decadent Betty. I was happy for my sister and hoped that she could have a good

start. In the afternoon, Betty packed her things into the luggage. Mother said with tears in her eyes, “I really didn’t expect you to be married.” “Mom, I don’t want to leave you either.” Betty hugged mother. I was also a little upset, but I still came forward to persuade her, “Mom, Betty’s marriage is a happy thing. Don’t cry!” Hearing that, mother quickly wiped away her tears and also wiped away Betty’s tears. She said solemnly, “Betty, you should be a good wife and a good mother in the future.” “Mom, I know. Hank is still waiting for me. I’m leaving!” Betty left with her suitcase. Betty couldn’t carry heavy objects when she was pregnant. I went to help her immediately. Hank quickly opened the trunk and put the luggage in the car. Hank looked at me as if he wanted to say something, but he just opened his mouth and didn’t say anything. Iglanced at Betty and said to Hank, “Hank, take good care of my sister, or I won’t let you go!”

“I know.” Hank nodded.

Betty happily held Hank’s arm and said shyly, “Sister, don’t worry.” “You can leave.” I waved at them. After watching them get in the car and leave, I always felt that Hank was very distant and cold to Betty. But it was true. After all, it was Betty who did it. He would probably know how cute Betty was after living with her for a while.

When I went home, I saw mother standing by the window and looking out. “Mom, stop looking. They’re gone,” I said with a smile. Mother retracted the disappointment in her eyes and said, “Betty didn’t show any signs of giving up.

………..ith that mon”

Then, mother turned to me and said, “By the way, ypu…” “Mom, I’m in a hurry to find a job. Let’s talk about it next time.” I was afraid that mother would start to care about my private life again, so I immediately found an excuse to leave.
