Ch. 311..320
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 311
Bella‘s POV:
T handed a paper towel to her. My mother took the paper towel, wiped her tears, and said, “But I feel that they won‘t be able to create chaos soon. Hank is not staying at home now, and he‘s hardly seen at his parents‘ house. He doesn‘t even pick up his phone. In the future, Betty will not be able to find him, and she won‘t continue to make a fuss anymore!” I nodded, hoping that this matter would pass as soon as possible. In the evening, Herbert sent Lucky over. When Lucky saw me, she held my neck and wouldn‘t let go. She would follow me even if I went to the bathroom.
I knew that she must be worried that I would disappear again. My nose was a little sore.
From now on, I would spend every night with Lucky.
Although I hadn‘t seen her for only two days, I found that Lucky seemed to know how to run now. Although she still couldn‘t run steadily, I was very gratified. She grew up day by day. The next morning, I went to the office and sat in my seat. At this time, Jeremy suddenly stood up and said in a sarcastic tone, “Someone is going to leave here today.” When the female colleagues heard this, they naturally knew that it was for me. They all laughed at me in their hearts, as if they were watching a good show. I knew that it wasn‘t that these female
colleagues were trying to push me away, but that they had really listened to what Selina said. They thought that I was not a good woman, so they had a lot of prejudice against me.
But Jeremy was a little hateful. He could ignore me and hate me.
But what right did he have to hurt me and make trouble for me!
If I had more strength, I would definitely beat him.
But I couldn‘t beat him at all.
And it was very likely that I would leave this company soon.
That was why I didn‘t attack Jeremy.
Anyway, I might not be able to see him in the future. I didn‘t need to be angry about such a trash.
Right at this moment, Selina walked in from outside. She was looking at me.
The look on her face was very ugly. She seemed to be very angry. She was probably going to make trouble for me.
But it didn‘t matter. Anyway, I couldn‘t complete that task.
I didn‘t plan to stay in this company anymore.
Sure enough, the next moment, Selina shouted at me, “Bella, come in. By the way, bring in the plan you made!”
After that, she stepped into the office in high heels. Then, I stood up and picked up the plan.
At this moment, Jeremy suddenly came over. He reached out and knocked on my table. He sneered and said, “Bella, your budget plan will surely fail this time. It seems that we need to hold a party to celebrate your leaving.” His words made the female employees in the office laugh.
I looked up and stared coldly at his annoying face. “There‘s no need. You‘d better think about yourself, okay?”
After that, I turned and left.
There came a shout from Jeremy behind me, “Hey, what do you mean?”
Tignored him. When I walked to the door of Selina‘s office, I suddenly made a decision in my heart.
I didn‘t have a way to fight back against that hateful woman. I had no way to deal with her. But Jeremy was such a scumbag! No, even if I had to leave the company, I couldn‘t let Jeremy continue to work here. I thought of Linda, the business director. She was the immediate supervisor of Selina, and she was the one who hired me. In the afternoon, I would go to Linda and report to her that Jeremy had been harassing me during working hours. Even if that couldn‘t make Jeremy lose his job, I had to let everyone know his true nature.
Knock knock…
I reached out and knocked twice on the door. With the documents in my arms, I pushed the door open and walked into Selina‘s office. Selina glanced at me and asked me to sit down. I sat down and looked at her. I was ready to be humiliated by her. How could she humiliate me? She would say that I didn‘t have the ability and couldn‘t do the job well. If she insulted my dignity, I wouldn‘t tolerate it. Anyway, I didn‘t intend to continue working here. If there really was a conflict, the one who would suffer losses would only be Selina. Then, Selina said to me, “In half an hour, the person in charge of K.G. Software Company will come over and discuss the plan with you in person. Did you continue to refine the budget plan over the weekend?”
“Oh.” Hearing this, I was confused. If the plan case was directly rejected, I should only receive a message telling me that the plan case was not going to work. Why did she ask me to talk to the person in charge of K.G. Software Company directly? Thinking of this, I was a little depressed, because the person in charge of this project in K.G. Software Company was Connie! Daniel must have told Connie about my complaint to him. Connie was not a kind person. She was probably coming to me to get even with me. Selina casually looked through the budget plan I made and then threw it to me with an impatient tone. “All right, go out and get ready. I‘ll let you know when the person in charge is there.”
“Okay.” I nodded, and then went out with the budget plan. Back in my seat, I thought, “If Connie and I meet alone, I will definitely be doomed.” Connie was now a big client of the company. I had to bear the consequences of offending a big client.
Should I escape this time? No, it was not my character to run away.
I still had to face it directly. Besides, since Connie was looking for trouble, even if I deliberately avoided her, she would not give up. More than half an hour later, Selina came out of the office and said to me, “The person in charge of K.G. Software Company is here. Come with me to the conference room.”
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 312
Bella‘s POV:
I followed Selina into the meeting room, When I saw the person in the conference room, i was stunned. Wasn‘t the person in charge Connie? Why did it become him now? “Mr. Morgan, I‘m sorry to keep you waiting.” The man on the other side stood up and said in a gentle tone, “I‘ve just arrived, too. Jessica, is this the person in charge of the project of my company?”
The man looked at me. Only then did I come to my senses and nodded. Selina introduced, “Yes, she‘s the new accountant of our branch company.” “Hello, Miss Stepanek.” He reached out his right hand to me. I quickly stretched out my hand and held it in a symbolic way. At this time, Selina said with a smile, “Mr. Morgan, why don‘t we sit down and talk?” However, he smiled at Selina and said, “Jessica, since Miss Stepanek is in charge of this case, we can communicate among ourselves. I heard that you are usually very busy, so I won‘t waste your time.”
Upon hearing this, Selina couldn‘t help but be stunned. I lowered my head and pretended that I didn‘t see it. I thought to myself, “He wants to get rid of Selina, but that‘s fine. I can also ask him about the current situation. Although she is not very familiar with him, they know each other after all.” Then, Selina gave a stiff smile and said, “Then I won‘t bother your discussion. I’ll go back to work first.” “See you later.” He smiled and nodded. After Selina left, the door of the conference room was closed. For a moment, only William and I were left in this small conference room. Puzzled, I raised my head to look at William. William, on the other hand, smiled and said, “Aren‘t you surprised that I‘m the one in charge instead of Connie?” Hearing this, I lowered my head and smiled. Then I said, “To be honest, I‘m a little surprised, but this is your family business after all. I‘m not so curious. I only know that if the person in charge of K.G. Software Company and Qihang Company is you, then my plan might probably pass!“. After that, I put the budget plan in my hand in front of William and sat down near him. William smiled. Then, he flipped open the plan. Without even looking at it, he picked up a pen and signed his name and date on it. Seeing him sign so quickly, I couldn‘t help but frown. “Why did you sign it without even looking at it?” Although I knew that if William was in charge of this project, it would be relatively smooth, I was still very surprised that he signed it without even looking at it. William said with a smile, “You have already refined this project more than ten times. To be honest, this project is not difficult. Now that you have changed it to such a degree, there should be no problem at all. So I don‘t want to waste
time on it.”
“Thank you for your support.” I pursed my lips into a smile, unable to conceal the excitement in my heart. Now that William had signed the budget plan, it meant that the contract had been completed. I had also successfully completed this task. Selina would have no reason to stop me from becoming a long–term employee. After all, everyone knew how difficult this project had always been. I gained a lot of confidence. At this moment, i suddenly felt a hundred times more confident in doing anything. The third person‘s POV: At the same time, Jeremy got up from his seat and stretched himself. Selina had just returned from the meeting room, Seeing Jeremy stretch, she couldn‘t help but say, “You‘ve been working on your project for a week, haven‘t you? Can you submit it to me now?” When Jeremy heard these words, he frowned and replied, “Jessica, you also know that it‘s not easy to handle that case, so why don‘t you give me a few more days?” Selina‘s face darkened and she said, “I‘ll give you two more days. You can‘t drag any longer anymore.” “Okay, okay.” Jeremy agreed happily. As soon as Selina was about to leave, Jeremy walked over to her and said with a smile, “Jessica, did the person in charge of K.G. Software Company turn Bella down?” Upon hearing this, Selina pulled a long face and scolded Jeremy directly, “Why can‘t you finish all the cases in your hands? Your time is all spent on gossip. Why do you care so much about Bella‘s case?” After that, Selina turned around and entered her office. When the door of Selina‘s office was closed, Jeremy curled his lips and said, “Don‘t be so arrogant, son of a b*tch!” At this time, an older female colleague took the magazine in her hand and patted Jeremy. She said in a teasing tone, “How dare you curse Jessica? Aren‘t you worried that we‘ll tell her?” “I‘m sure you‘re not that kind of people,” Jeremy said with a smile. Then, he pointed at the remaining female colleagues. Everyone knew him well. Although he seemed to be trying to flatter Jessica, he was also cursing her behind her back.
So everyone treated him as if he were a clown. They didn‘t really want to tell Jessica. At this time, a female colleague stood up, crossed her arms, and said with a smile, “Of course, we won‘t complain, but the weather is very hot. Aren‘t you going to buy some cold drinks to reward us?” The female colleague winked at the other female employees at the right time. For a time, several women started to make a fuss. “That’s right. You‘re the only man in the office. You have to be a gentleman!”
Jeremy glanced at these female colleagues with his sinister triangular eyes and knew that he couldn‘t avoid them today.
Therefore, in the next moment he slapped his thigh hard and said, “No problem, I‘ll buy them right away.”
“I want bubble milk tea!” “I want strawberry ice cream!” “I want a cup of bubble lemon tea!” The women ordered something rather expensive. Although Jeremy‘s heart ached, he had no choice but to pick up his wallet and turn to leave the office. After Jeremy left, several women showed a triumphant smile. They all knew what kind of person Jeremy was. Usually, they didn‘t want to meddle in his business because they wanted to protect themselves. In fact, everyone had been dissatisfied with him for a long time. Half an hour later, Jeremy took a large bag of drinks and ice cream and came out of the cold drinks store. When he turned a corner, a man in a white shirt suddenly came over. The man in a white shirt reached out and grabbed him by the collar! Jeremy was so scared that his legs were trembling. “What… what do you want to do?”
Jeremy usually flirted with women, but when he saw strong people, he immediately became very timid.
“Someone wants to see you.”
The man dragged Jeremy to the side. “Who the hell are you? I beg you to let me go, okay? I don‘t know you. I…” Jeremy had been begging for mercy, but the man ignored him. After walking for a while and making another turn in the street corner, the man pulled Jeremy and came to a man in black trousers and a light blue shirt.
Seeing the man in front of him, Jeremy was afraid!
Because the man‘s aura was very strong. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle‘s and as cold as ice.
Although it was summer, Jeremy felt as if he had fallen into ice water. “Are you Jeremy?” The man asked in a magnetic voice. “What do you want to do? What do you want to do to me? If you dare to attack me, I will call the police… Ah…”
All of a sudden, Jeremy let out a scream.
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 313
Herbert‘s POV: At this time, I was holding Jeremy‘s hand. He was screaming miserably
He actually said that he wanted to call the police. “Hey, man! You‘d better call the police immediately and confess to the police what you‘ve done,” | said angrily Thad endured for many days. When I thought of how he harassed Bella, I felt like killing him. “Did you make a mistake? Did you find the wrong person? I don‘t know you, and I couldn‘t have done anything to you.” Jeremy was begging for mercy.
I punched him in the face, and he let out another scream.
I hadn‘t finished venting my anger, so I punched him in the face a few more times. With almost all my strength, I dyed his mouth and nose red with blood. In the end, he collapsed on the ground and begged me to let him go. “Please let me go.” “If I did something wrong, tell me. I will definitely correct it.” “I swear to God!”
I lowered my head to look at Jeremy’s swollen face and warned him, “Watch your mouth and hands in the future. Otherwise, next time, your private part will be gone!” Jeremy immediately covered his private part with his hand, and then nodded hard. “I‘ll remember it. I won‘t do it again.”
Afterward, I took the tissue from Connor, wiped my hands clean, and then turned to leave.
Bella‘s POV:
William and I had finished talking about our deal. It went very smoothly.
Then, William said, “Bella, I didn‘t expect you to have such a relationship with Connie and Emma.” I frowned. In fact, this was not a secret. Many people knew about my relationship with Connie and Emma.
But I didn‘t want to mention it too much, so I just smiled and didn‘t say anything. “Uh, I was too stupid in the past that I actually dated Emma.” William looked extremely annoyed. Although William was a playboy, he was not a bad guy, so I sympathized with him in my heart. I didn‘t know what to say to William, so I didn‘t say anything. Then, William suddenly said, “Thank you, Bella. Because of you, I might have a solution to my problem.”
Hearing this, I frowned and asked, “What do you mean? Why are you thanking me?” Right now, I needed someone else to help me with my own problems. How could I have that much energy left to help William solve his problems? William frowned and said mysteriously, “I‘m sorry. I promised someone that I wouldn‘t tell you about this, so I have to keep my promise.”
Hearing this, I was even more confused. I didn‘t understand what William meant. Who was this person?
Then. William stood up and smiled at me. “Miss Stepanek, let‘s call it a day. I hope we can work together happily.” “Nice to cooperate with you.” I stood up and said goodbye with a smile. At this moment, Jeremy appeared in the office. He looked very bad. A colleague asked Jeremy, “What happened? You just went out to buy coffee. How did you end up like this?”
Jeremy touched his face and said, “I accidentally fell on the road, and the cold drinks and ice cream were all ruined!”
He held a bag in his hand, which had become a complete mess, and raised it to let everyone take a
look.
“How could you fall like this?” Everyone was suspicious of his words.
“I just fell. My face fell on a stone, and it became like this. One of my teeth was broken. No, I have to go to the hospital. Help me ask for apply leave from Jessica. I’m not slacking. I‘m really injured this time!” After that, he picked up his backpack and walked to the door like a lame man.
When he turned around, we happened to see each other.
I saw that his nose was black and blue, and his face was swollen. There was blood on the corner of his mouth, and his clothes were covered with dust. There was also horror in his eyes, which made me very surprised.
Then, Jeremy lowered his head and walked past me. He turned around and left quickly. “What‘s going on? Why did Jeremy end up like this? It seems that he was beaten. Who beat him?”
At this time, the women behind in the office began to talk about it without holding anything back when they saw that Jeremy had left. “He didn‘t fall at all. He was obviously beaten by someone, and even his tooth was knocked off. Who is so cruel?” “He doesn‘t usually do good things. I guess he must have harassed a lady with a partner again, so he was beaten up!” “Haha…” Her words made the people in the office laugh out loud. I walked into the office with doubts. I did not pity Jeremy in my heart. On the contrary, I was a little happy.
After all, someone finally taught that damn guy a lesson.
After that, I went to Selina‘s office and knocked on the door. The plan had been approved by K.G. Software Company. I needed to report it to my superior. “Come in.” Soon, the voice of Selina came from inside. I pushed the door open and went in. I walked to her desk and said to Selina, “Jessica, William has already signed. This is our document.” After that, I put a document in my hand in front of Selina.
However, this action made Selina‘s face sink. She glanced at the document in front of her and said, “Bella, are you here to show off to me?” I could not help but frown. “I don‘t understand what you mean by this, Jessica.”
“I know you have a man behind you to help you, but that‘s not based on your own ability, do you understand?” said Selina as she leaned back on the swivel chair, crossed her arms in front of her chest and said.
I was a little angry. “Now the task you gave me has been completed. I handed over my work to you. If there‘s nothing else, I‘ll go out first!”
After that, I turned around and left Selina‘s office.
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 314
Selina‘s POV: As soon as the door was closed, I threw the document in my hand to the ground angrily. When I got to work this morning, I was called into the office by my immediate superior, Linda. I remembered that Linda had repeatedly told me that there was a big shot who was involved this time. The budget plan in Bella‘s hands had been solved by the big boss. Later, someone from K.G. Software Company would come over to talk about the budget plan and she asked me to cooperate well so that there would not be any mistakes. Originally, I wanted to use the budget plan to chase Bella away. Unexpectedly, Bella seized this opportunity With this outstanding performance, Bella successfully became an official employee and got Linda‘s recognition. More importantly, Linda said that she had a big shot behind her. If Bella worked here permanently, coupled with the help of the big boss. Then it was very likely to threaten my status, which made me very depressed. Bella‘s POV:
.=
Back in my seat, I was very confused. Both William and Selina had spoken very vaguely just now. Could it be that someone was helping me behind my back? I was indeed surprised when I saw William being here instead of Connie to discuss the project plan on behalf of his company. I remembered Daniel‘s reaction on the day of the charity party and it was obvious that he did not believe that Connie would do something like that. In this case, could it be that someone was working behind the scenes? Who could it be?
Suddenly, I thought of Klein.
Right. It was Klein.
“I said a few words to him at the charity party that day, and he said that he would help me. Is it him?” Although Klein and William were friends, Klein was just a lawyer. Would he make Daniel change his mind? I was a bit uncertain. When I realized that perhaps this time, Klein had helped me again, my feelings had become very complicated. I no longer had any dealings with Klein, but he still helped me like before, and he helped me in secret. I remembered William saying that he promised that he wouldn‘t reveal this person. To tell the truth, although Klein had done two terrible things last time. But as far as I knew, he was really not a bad person. I didn‘t hate him, but I couldn‘t forgive him. He shouldn‘t have messed with my child. In order to be with me, Klein caused an accident and caused Lucas to suffer. I couldn‘t stay with him anymore.
Originally, I thought that we would never meet again, but I didn‘t expect that I still couldn‘t solve all the problems in my life and my work independently. I still needed his help. Towards this, i felt a bit vexed, and I felt as though I owed Klein a bit more. In addition, I didn‘t want to be entangled with Klein again because of this affair. Thus, I picked up my phone and wanted to give Klein a call. First of all, I would thank him for his help. Then, I would clearly tell him not to interfere in my affairs in the future, and I must speak coldly so that I could eliminate his hope. Because only in this way could he fall in love again and live a new life, and my psychological burden could be reduced. Just as I was about to walk out of the door with my phone in my hand, my colleague in the office suddenly shouted to me, “Bella, Linda wants you to go to her office!” Hearing this, I stopped and couldn‘t help but be stunned.
I looked back and asked, “Did Linda ask for me?”
“Yes, she asked you to go right away.” My colleague nodded. “Fine.” Although I didn‘t know why Linda was looking for me, I still had to hurry over. Thus, I dismissed the matter of calling Klein. Linda was the business director of the whole management department and the immediate . supervisor of Selina. Under normal circumstances, she would not summon ordinary employees, unless there was something important, so I was still a little nervous and did not know why Linda called me.
When I was sitting in Linda‘s office, Linda looked me up and down.
I was a little anxious. I didn‘t understand what Linda meant.
Just as I was about to speak, Linda said with a smile, “You did a good job in the budget case this time, so I approved your full–time position in advance.”
Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile, “Thank you.” However, there wasn‘t much surprise in my heart, because I was still considering whether or not ! should continue with this job. I really didn‘t think it was a good place to work. My boss, Selina, Jeremy, and so many female colleagues who were biased against me… All these put me under great pressure. Since I graduated from college and started working, I had never worked in such a complicated environment, but at least I had to hold on until the end of the month and finish all the work in my hands.
Whether or not I would continue working here, as long as I was still here, I would continue to be responsible for my work. Later, Linda chatted with me. Although I was very surprised, I chatted with her. Linda was a workaholic. She usually worked very seriously, but I didn‘t expect that she would be so gentle now. “Belta, I saw that you had once worked in the Wharton Group on your resume,” Linda said with a smile.
Although I didn‘t know what the other party meant, but I still nodded and said, “Yes, a long time ago.”
“In the past, what was your position in the Wharton Group?” Linda asked.
“Oh, manager‘s assistant,” I replied. Hearing this, Linda nodded and said, “Are you still in contact with Mr. Wharton?” “Oh?” Suddenly hearing this, I looked at Linda in confusion.
“Don‘t worry too much. I was just asking casually. You know that the reason why you were able to successfully clear the case in your hands is because of the help of Mr. Wharton.”
I was stunned. Originally, I had thought that it was Klein who had helped me. Was it Herbert instead?
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 315
Bella‘s POV:
Before I could react, Linda said with a laugh, “To be able to get Mr. Wharton‘s help, I think you must have a very good relationship with him?” Linda‘s eyes were obviously testing.
I didn‘t want Linda to know about the relationship between me and Herbert. After all, it was my own business. I shouldn‘t let it be involved in work.
So, the next moment, I shook my head and said, “Linda, I don‘t have any relationship with Herbert for the time being. Maybe he helped us for some other reason.” Linda said, “Oh, so that‘s how it is. Could it be that you have a friend who knows Herbert?” At this moment, I thought, “He should help me for the sake of his two young children, shouldn‘t he? Since I refused him last time, he hasn‘t appeared in front of me for months.” “Maybe. Maybe my friend knew that it has been difficult for me to bring up my child alone after I divorced,” I thought for a moment and said. Linda was shocked. “Have you ever been divorced? And you have a child with you?” “Yes, that‘s why I work hard. You know, it‘s very difficult for a divorced woman to bring up a child.” | didn‘t want to win Linda‘s sympathy, but I didn‘t want her to continue to inquire about my personal affairs.
Later, Linda became even more enthusiastic about me. She also said that it was not easy for me to take care of my child alone, so she wanted to let Jessica pay more attention to me. When there was a chance for promotion next time, she would also pay attention to it for me. In short, she said a lot of good words before letting me out. Out of Linda‘s office, I heard Linda‘s secretary making a phone call, but the content of the conversation made me discover something new. “Excuse me, is it Connor? I‘m Linda‘s secretary. I‘ve already helped Linda book the International Restaurant‘s revolving restaurant. Could you please tell Mr. Wharton that at seven o‘clock tonight, Linda will wait at the entrance of the International Restaurant?” As I walked forward, I heard the conversation. I couldn‘t help frowning and thinking, “The International Restaurant‘s revolving restaurant is a very high–end and romantic place. Not only is it expensive, but the reservation has to be made at least one week in advance. Generally, only couples go there.” Linda had booked a place like this to treat Herbert to a meal. Her purpose was very clear. No wonder she kept asking about the relationship between me and Herbert. It turned out that she wanted to pursue him. At first, I felt strange. Why did Linda like a proud and overbearing man like Herbert?
But later, I understood.
Linda was such an excellent woman, and she was also a beautiful woman. She would certainly look down on ordinary men.
Herbert, who was smart, handsome, and rich, would indeed attract many women‘s attention.
At this moment, the picture of Herbert and Linda standing together flashed through my mind. They looked good together. The handsome man and the beautiful woman were both successful in their career. It could be said that they were a perfect match.
They were already on a date. I was sure that they would have a good talk tonight and even something else would happen. I knew very well that it was impossible for me and Herbert to be together, so it was normal for him to be with any other woman.
I repeatedly told myself about this, but I couldn‘t help feeling a little depressed.
Yes, my heart was saying, “I don‘t want to see him with another woman.”
No matter how unhappy I was, I still decided to restrain myself. After work this day, i had to sort out the materials, so I left a few minutes later. I carried my bag and walked into the elevator. When the elevator was about to close, a figure suddenly ran into the elevator.
I took a closer look and found that it was Selina. I couldn‘t help but frown.
that it was me in the elevator, Selina pressed the button to the first floor, sneered, and said, “I, I really underestimated you. It‘s been so long, and those two men are still after you. I really don‘t know what means you used to make them crazy for you!”
“What do you mean?” I questioned her.
They? Who were these two men? Herbert and Klein? Then, she said disdainfully, “Stop pretending. You must have asked them to help you! One of them is the president of the Wharton Group. He is very capable. The other is a famous lawyer. He has a wide network of connections. They are all very powerful bosses. Bella, what else can you do except relying on men? You have two very powerful men to help you. I wouldn‘t dare to provoke you in the future!”
Ding!
At this time, the elevator reached the first floor and the door opened. Selina glanced at me with sarcasm, disdain, and dissatisfaction in her eyes. Then she turned around and left quickly with her bag. Selina‘s words and stare made me angry. But I quickly suppressed it. After all, I couldn‘t find any words to refute. This time, I did rely on those two men. I didn‘t expect that both Klein and Herbert would help me. I was just an ordinary woman. I didn‘t have any stunning beauty. And I didn‘t have a very powerful ability. They must have helped me out of their own considerations. Perhaps for Klein, it was out of guilt? And for Herbert, it was because of the two children? After all, if I didn‘t live a good life, the children would also be implicated.
I sent a message to Klein, thanking him for his help, but I also asked him not to interfere in my affairs in the future.
As for Herbert, I picked up my cell phone and typed a message. After thinking for a while. I deleted the text message.
I was too clear about Herbert‘s temperament. No matter what my opinion was, he would not respect it. He would still do what he thought was good.
So no matter what I said, it was useless. Moreover, he must be on a romantic date with Linda tonight. I‘d better not disturb them. I couldn‘t fall asleep that night. The next morning, I came to the office. I was very happy to hear that Jeremy had asked for a week‘s leave.
Selina didn‘t give me any trouble. After Jeremy left, I could get along with my female colleagues normally, so I had a much easier time this week. On Friday afternoon, after work, I took the things I bought during the lunch break and rushed back home.
I hadn‘t seen Lucas for two weeks. I missed him very much. Tonight, I was going to make a big meal for him and Lucky. Of course, for Joey, who had always supported me, as well. I was busy in the kitchen, hoping that I could finish cleaning all the ingredients before Lucas and Lucky entered the kitchen.
The kitchen window was open, and I kept paying attention to the sound of cars driving into the community downstairs.
Soon, at about seven o‘clock, a black Bentley drove into the community.
Herbert‘s car was really eye–catching, and it was very easy to recognize. So when I saw the car coming in, I rushed out of the house before I could take off the apron on my body.
My hair was tied to the back of my head with a rubber band. I was wearing a white floral home dress with blue flowers and an apron that was filled with the pictures of Snoopy, and I was holding a spatula in my hand. It was really funny to rush downstairs like this. I missed Lucas very much. Lucas jumped out of the car and hugged my thigh. He looked up and said excitedly, “Mommy, I missed you so much!” “Mommy misses you too.” I reached out to touch my son‘s chubby little face and felt extremely happy
Then, Connor led Lucky, who was dressed like a little princess, to me.
“Mom, mom.” Lucky, who was one head shorter than Lucas, pulled my dress with her little hand. I immediately bent down and picked her up. Then said with a smile, “Lucky, I‘ll cook a big meal for you today. And Lucas, they are all your favorite dishes!” “Wow, wow.” Lucky could not express herself very well yet, so she just clapped her little hands. When Lucas heard this, he was excited at first, then he suddenly frowned and said worriedly, “Mommy, can you ask daddy to have dinner with us?”
Hearing this, I frowned and said, “It‘s already so late, and your daddy can‘t make it.” In fact, I didn‘t want to have dinner with Herbert, so I said that on purpose. However, in the next second, Lucas said in a low voice, “Daddy is in the car!“
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 316
Bella‘s POV:
Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment and then looked at Connor in front of me. Herbert was in
the car now? I looked back at the back seat of the car..
For the past few months, it was all Connor who had sent Lucas and Lucky to me. Herbert had never appeared in front of me. Could it be that he had been hiding in the backseat for the past few months? I thought of Linda and Herbert‘s date, so I deliberately said loudly, “Your daddy has a lot of dates now, so he has no time to have dinner with us. We‘d better not waste his time!”
Lucas immediately hugged my thigh and said seriously, “Daddy doesn‘t have any date. He came back to eat with me every day.” Hearing this, I was a little annoyed. He went on a date with another woman last night.
But Lucas said that he went back to eat with him?
Did he deliberately teach his son this?
Then, I put Lucky‘s hand in Lucas‘s palm and said, “Be a good boy, Lucas. Take your sister upstairs to look for Joey. She bought delicious chocolate for you.” “Okay.” After all, Lucas was just a child. He immediately applauded and obediently pulled Lucky‘s hand to go upstairs.
After Lucas took Lucky‘s hand and left, I walked to the back seat of the Bentley and knocked on the window of the back door,
Connor found an excuse to leave. The door finally opened from the inside. Then, a man in a white shirt and a blue striped tie finally got out of the back seat. He crossed his arms over his chest and asked, “So you hide here every time?” “The reason why I didn‘t show up is that I was afraid that you would be unhappy when you saw me. I really didn‘t mean anything else.” I turned my head and didn‘t look at him.
In fact, my heart was now filled with subtle joy. I couldn‘t control this kind of feeling. It naturally spread out from my heart. After all, I thought he didn‘t want to see me before, but I didn‘t expect that he would hide in a place! didn‘t know and peek at me. But I still didn‘t want him to see my true feelings. I coughed twice and said, “Then I‘ll ask you another thing.”
“Is it about the budget plan?” Herbert asked.
Hearing that, I looked at him and asked, “Was it really you?” “It‘s a very simple thing for me. You don‘t have to worry too much about it. As long it brings you benefits, it‘s good.” Herbert said very casually. At this moment, my mood was a little complicated.
Herbert said it very casually, but I was distressed for a long time.
I didn‘t have anything to do with Herbert now. I didn‘t want him to interfere in my affairs.
“Herbert, first of all, I would like to thank you. But this is my business. Please don‘t interfere in it in the future.” I didn‘t want others to think that I could only solve it by relying on men.
“I did it for your own good,” said Herbert.
I suddenly remembered Jeremy, who was injured, so I asked, “Did you beat Jeremy up as well?” “I did. He harassed you. I almost wanted to beat him to death.” Herbert said angrily.
“Don‘t hit anyone in the future.”
Jeremy was indeed an annoying guy.
But I knew Herbert‘s temper. If there was something wrong with Jeremy, Herbert had to be responsible for it. “Bella, you‘re speaking up for Jeremy. You…” Before he could finish his words, his cell phone rang. He answered the phone.
“Hello?”
Herbert glanced at me and then said loudly, “Linda, I have no arrangement tonight. Where are you now? I can come and pick you up. It‘s not troublesome. I‘m more than willing to do that. Okay, see you later!” After that, he hung up the phone. He looked at me proudly. “Since you don‘t accept me, there will always be other women who will accept me.” 1 didn‘t say anything.
Linda again?
Humph, he was going to pick Linda up in person?
He was very kind to Linda. Did he like Linda? “I‘m sorry. I don‘t have time to quarrel with you here. I‘m going on a date!” After that, he stretched out his hand and straightened the tie around his neck. “Don‘t worry. I won‘t delay your date. Please leave as soon as possible,” I said with a deliberate smile.
Herbert was angry. He shouted Connor‘s name loudly and then quickly left my home. Looking at his rapidly disappearing back, I felt very uncomfortable.
Damn it, he was so eager to date Linda.
Just then, my phone rang. It was a call from my mother. “Bella, come over quickly!” As soon as the phone was connected, the urgent voice of my mother came from the other end of the line. Hearing this, I quickly asked, “Mom, what happened?” “It‘s Betty…” My mother was so nervous that she couldn‘t speak.
Hearing the tension in her voice, I had a bad feeling in my heart. I asked anxiously, “Mom, what happened?”
“Betty took Anne to jump into the river!” My mother cried.
Hearing this. I was stunned for a moment and then asked nervously, “Where are they now?”
“On the bridge of the riverside park,” my mother replied in tears.
T‘ll be right there.” After speaking, I put away my phone and ran straight out of the community.
I was very anxious, but there was no taxi. I was very anxious.
At this time, I saw the black Bentley parked on one side of the community.
I was too worried about Betty and Anne‘s safety.
I ran to the front of Herbert‘s car and begged him, “Please, take me to the bridge of the riverside park.”
I thought that Herbert would refuse. After all, we had just had a fight. Unexpectedly, he agreed. On the way there, Herbert asked me what had happened. I briefly told him about it… Hè immediately asked Connor to speed up the car. Soon, the car stopped under the bridge of the riverside park. Looking up, I saw many people gather on the bridge. The next moment, I opened the door and got out of the car. “I‘ll go with you.” Herbert also opened the door. “Thank you for sending me here. You don‘t have to accompany me. I hope it won‘t delay your date. You can go. Thank you for sending me here!” After that, I ran in the direction of the bridge.
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 317
1 squeezed into the crowd and looked up. The steel bridge was very magnificent and beautiful against the setting sun. A young woman was sitting on the railing, holding a crying little girl in her arms. “Bella, hurry up and persuade Betty. Don‘t let her jump. Anne is frightened.” My mother grabbed my clothes.
I frowned and glanced at Hank, who was still trying to persuade Betty by the bridge, and then at Ryan, who was standing by the bridge. I think it must be Ryan who gave Betty the idea. Betty was timid and afraid of heights since she was a child. Otherwise, she would never dare to climb so high to jump into the river. “Betty, can you come down first?” Obviously, Hank was very anxious at the moment.
Betty said firmly, “As long as you promise not to divorce me and continue to live with me, I will take Anne down!”
Obviously, Hank couldn‘t agree to Betty‘s request. He frowned and said, “Betty, do you think we‘ll be happy together? We‘ve been married for a few years. Do we have a wonderful memory?” At this moment, Betty did not answer. Hank added, “Since we can‘t be happy together, why do you have to tie yourself up with me? Other than this, as long as you carry Anne down, I can agree to any conditions you want. The house I live in now can be transferred to your name, and I can also pay for Anne‘s living expenses at the highest rate. I only hope that you can calm down. After all, there is only one life, and Anne is your biological daughter. Look at how scared she is now. Can you really bear to do this to her?”
Betty was stunned when she heard Hank‘s words. She looked down at her daughter, whose face had turned pale with fear. She was crying and her voice was hoarse. Hank walked forward step by step. “Betty, hand Anne over to me!” At this time, we relaxed a little. Everyone thought that Hank had persuaded Betty. However, just as Hank was about to touch Anne‘s hand, Betty immediately held Anne even tighter.
She took another step to the side of the bridge. If she moved a little further, she and Anne would fall into the river.
Betty‘s action made the people around scream, and I was also very worried. “If you don‘t promise me, I‘ll jump down with Anne in my arms!” Betty shouted at Hank.
“Why do you have to force me?” Hank frowned and clenched his fists.
At this moment, my mother was already sitting on the ground in fear. Ryan pointed to Anne in Betty‘s arms and said, “Hank, why can‘t you agree to Betty‘s request? You should agree for Anne‘s sake. Anne is only a two–year–old child.” “Shut up!” I warned Ryan. “I‘m telling the truth,” Ryan muttered. I walked up to the railing and Betty pointed at me and said, “Don‘t come over!” Seeing that Betty was very excited at the moment, I raised my hands in the air and said, “Okay, I
won‘t go over. Betty, don‘t joke about your and the child‘s lives, okay? Anne is still young, and she is so fragile. She can‘t bear any harm.” “You are a hypocritical person. Because of you, Anne and I became so miserable.” Betty‘s eyes were full of hatred for me.
Hearing Betty‘s words, I didn‘t know what to say.
Betty thought that the failure of her marriage with Hank was all because of me. Maybe the more! tried to persuade her, the worse the situation would be. So I chose to shut up.
Then, I winked at Hank and said to him, “So what if you promise her now? Let‘s save her and Anne‘s lives first!”
Hearing my words, Hank frowned. I knew that he was a university professor, and he was a person who never lied. But for the sake of his daughter, he might have to change his principle. The next moment, Hank opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Betty interrupted him, “Hank, I know you‘re a man of your word. You must keep your word. So I‘m not worried if you lie to me today. If I can‘t die today, I‘ll do this again next time with Anne in my arms. But next time, we won‘t jump into the river. We can get into a car accident, lie on the tracks, or jump off the building. Haha, there are many ways to die!” Betty‘s smile was as cold as the snow in winter, as if she had already shook hands with the God of Death. Hank was stunned and didn‘t say a word. Looking at Betty, who was already a little crazy at the moment, I felt very sad. How did she become like this? She was not only narrow-minded and mean, but now she did such a crazy thing. Seeing that Hank was staring at her without saying a word, Betty sneered. “Humph, I knew you wanted to lie to me!”
Then she pointed at me and said resentfully, “You were the one who taught him, weren‘t you?” “Well, Hank, I know that Anne and I are not important in your heart, so I‘ll make you regret it for the rest of your life!” After that, Betty jumped into the river behind her with Anne in her arms.
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 318
Betty‘s POV: When Betty jumped down, my mother fainted. The emotional Hank wanted to jump down to save them but was stopped. They said that Hank couldn‘t swim, and jumping down would only make things more chaotic. “Betty, Anne…” I was extremely sad. Were the two living lives really going to disappear in front of me? And they were my family. At this moment, I only had one thought. I could swim. I wanted to save them. I was about to jump down when I reached the riverside, but a pair of hands stopped me. I turned around and saw Herbert standing behind me. “Let me do it,” said Herbert. Herbert was taking off his tie and shoes. I was very worried about him. “Do you know how to swim?” Herbert comforted me. “Don‘t worry. I‘m the school‘s swimming champion in college!” After that, he turned around and jumped into the river. “Herbert!” My hand grabbed the railing on the bridge and cried out in pain. Everyone was looking at Herbert, who was swimming hard in the river. Everyone seemed to be very nervous. No one said a word. They were all paying close attention to the man in the river who was searching for the mother and daughter who had just jumped in. Soon, Herbert rescued Anne. He held Anne with his strong arm and swam to the shore. At this time, everyone cheered. They all said that Herbert was a hero. Hank and I rushed to the shore, and some kind–hearted people had taken Anne from Herbert‘s arms. Although Anne‘s face was pale, she was still alive. She coughed twice and spat out a few mouthfuls of river water. Herbert glanced at Anne, who should be fine. Then he turned around and swam to the middle of the river again. I patted Anne‘s back twice and then turned to look at Herbert, who was in the river. I shouted at his back, “Herbert, you must come back safely!” Although I was worried about Betty, I was also very worried about Herbert. But Betty jumped down on her own. I didn‘t want an accident to happen to Herbert because of the rescue. I didn‘t know if Herbert heard me. I could only pray in my heart: I hope Betty will be safe. I hope that my child‘s father will come back safely. About ten minutes later, I finally saw Herbert swimming over from afar while pulling someone. Seeing that he had finally saved Betty, I was so excited that my eyes were full of tears.
At this time, two ambulances arrived. My mother, who had fainted, and Anne were brought away by one of the ambulances. Another ambulance was waiting for the person who was about to be brought to the shore. Soon, Herbert pushed Betty to the shore. I looked at Betty, who was coughing, and knew that she should be fine. Then my eyes fell on Herbert. He frowned and his face was distorted. It could be seen that he was exhausted.
The people on the shore wanted to pull him up, but suddenly, a wave came and pushed him back into the water. His body hovered in the water and half leaned in the water. Then, Herbert was no longer as relaxed as he had been just now. He actually began to struggle in the river, Seeing this, I stepped into the river and shouted at Herbert, “Herbert, come on up, come to the shore!”
However, at this moment, when Herbert looked at me, who was shouting at him, he only showed a pale smile. He shook his head, as if he had given up!
“Help! Help him! He‘s in great danger.” “He doesn‘t have any strength left!”
I shouted loudly.
Herbert was pushed further and further away by the water, and gradually, I could only see his head. The people around shook their heads and said, “We have to be good at swimming before we can go to the river to save him. I think he is too tired and he has a cramp!”
“This situation is very serious. He won‘t be able to swim because of his cramp.”
Hearing the discussion of these people behind me I was extremely flustered.
Panic washed over me like an endless tide.
No! No, I couldn‘t allow anything to happen to Herbert. I couldn‘t live without him, nor could Lucas and Lucky live without a father! The next moment, I ran like crazy to the middle of the river. While running, I cried, “Herbert, come back!”
Although I knew how to swim, I only swam in the indoor swimming pool before and didn‘t swim well.
I didn‘t know what I was going to face.
At this moment, there was only one thought in my mind. “Save Herbert, I have to save him…”

Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 320
Hank ran to me and stopped me from moving forward. “Bella, don’t go any further. You’ll die!”
“I’m going to find him!” I cried and shouted.
Hank hugged me tightly. “Although you know how to swim, you’re not good at it. You will really die!”
“I’m not afraid of death. Let me die with him!” I said desperately.
At this moment, I really didn’t care about life or death anymore. I only knew that I didn’t want him to die alone. I wanted to accompany him.
“If you’re dead, what about your son and daughter?”
Hearing this, my firm attitude changed.
Yes, I still had Lucas and Lucky. If anything happened to me, what about my children? My children could not lose both their parents at the same time.
For a moment, my mood collapsed. I sobbed and grabbed Hank’s arm, saying, “What about him? Will he die?”
At this time, the sound of fire trucks came from the shore.
The rescue team arrived. Connor quickly stepped down from the rescue car. Several members of the rescue team jumped into the river to save Herbert
In the most painful wait of a few minutes, those saviors brought Herbert back together
When he was pulled to the shore by two soldiers, I immediately rushed over, grabbed his hand, and asked, “How are you?”
“I’m fine.” Although Herbert’s face was pale, he still smiled at me
At this moment, his teeth were so pure white that they were so eye-catching in the dim and bright light of the sunset.
Hearing that he said he was fine and seeing him laugh, my mood brightened up a lot
At this moment, he turned his wrist and immediately grabbed my hand I felt my hand tighten When his wet hand grabbed me, I seemed to have gotten an electric shock
Al this time, the medical staff squeezed in and asked, ‘Did anyone get hurt?
Suddenly, a soldier tephed, “He has a cramp and one of his legs has been scratched by a stone The wound is very big, and it needs to be cleaned up inmediately!
Healing itu, I stared at Herbert with Dy eyes wide open
I didnt expect that he, who looked very coln was actually injured
I looked at huslegs Amedical staff member came over and cut the trouser tube with scissors Sure enough, there was blood all over husleg, and there was a wound about 20 of 30 centimeters long The wound was very deep and there was mud and sarkt in de which must have made his wound painful
My hands were shaking I couldn’t bear to see the doctor cleaning his wound
At this time. I felt try hand lighten Iderbert grabbed my hand with a little more strength
I looked up and saw that Herbert was looking at me. “Don’t worry. It’s just a minor injury.” Herbert said very casually.
After the medical staff treated Herbert’s wound, he was carried to the ambulance.
At this time, Betty was also rescued, and she was carried to the ambulance which would send her to the hospital for a full-body examination. Watching the ambulance leave, I lowered my head and looked at my hand, feeling that the warmth of his body was still there
Just now, when he was carried into the ambulance, his hand had been holding my hand tightly and he was reluctant to let go.
However, the ambulance couldn’t carry so many people. He had no choice but to let go of my hand, but he still smiled at me when he was carried up.
I sat in Hank’s car and followed the ambulance in front of us to the hospital.
I felt like I was dreaming. Everything in front of me was too unreal. After this incident, I really didn’t know how to face Herbert again.
It was unusually quiet in the car. Hank frowned and drove the car, while I was sitting in the passenger seat, lost in my thoughts.
“You and Herbert should be together. Don’t waste any more time.” All of a sudden, Hank said.
I turned to look at Hank and felt that I had misheard him. “What did you say just now?”
Hank gave a wry smile and said, “He loves you, and so do you. You were not even afraid of death because of each other. There’s no need to torture each other anymore.”
My feelings were getting more complicated.
I knew that I loved Herbert and he still cared about me.
But I couldn’t forget the harm he had done to me.
The past was like a ravine between us.
“You don’t understand what’s going on between us,” I said. “As long as you love each other, that’s enough. Nothing else matters!” Hank was a little excited when he said this.
I seemed to understand what Hank was thinking. His marriage with Betty was too suffocating. One loved him as much as her life, and the other never fell in love with her. It was really sad for them to be tied together.
“What are you going to do next with Betty?” Seeing that we were about to arrive at the hospital, i asked as soon as possible.
I still remembered what Betty had said the moment before she jumped into the river. As long as Hank didn’t agree to continue to live with her, she would die with Anne at any time.
That was terrible. I felt that Betty had gone mad. A few minutes later, Hank held the steering wheel tightly and said bitterly, “What else can I do? I’ll just be a walking dead in the future.” Seeing the pain on Hank’s face, I knew that this man was really pathetic. For this marriage, he lost his job, reputation, and peace.
08:26 Hank drove the car into the hospital. I saw that the ambulance in front had arrived first, and the medical staff had carried the wounded on the stretcher into the hospital as fast as they could. I opened the car door. Just as I was about to get out of the car, I heard a man’s suppressed cry behind me.
Turning my head, I saw Hank crying on the steering wheel. His voice was not loud, but it was very depressing.
