Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 331
Bella’s POV After the doll got taken away, Lucky immediately burst into tears. I frowned and scolded, “Don’t cry!”
If it was in normal times, I would definitely be more gentle to her.
But now, my brain was completely covered by emotions. After all, Lucky was still a baby about a year old. How could she listen to me? She continued to cry. At this time, Linda got up and walked to me. She smiled and said, “Bella, just let her continue holding the doll since she likes it. Don’t let her cry.”
After that, Linda bent down and picked up the doll from the ground. She put it into Lucky’s arms and Lucky stopped crying immediately. I was even angrier. I couldn’t understand why I was so angry. So I directly grabbed the doll from Lucky’s hand and stuffed it into Linda’s hand, saying, “No need!” Linda did not continue to speak, and the atmosphere was a little awkward,
When Lucky saw Herbert, she seemed to see her savior. She cried and shouted while waving her small hand, “Daddy, daddy…”
The child’s cry made me even more annoyed. I just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
I hold Lucky in my arms forcefully and walked towards the door, putting on my shoes. Lucky cried even louder, and she was still shouting, “Daddy daddy.” I scolded angrily. “Stop crying.” Perhaps it was because my expression was too fierce that made Lucky scared and she stopped crying.
Next to us, Herbert seemed to be even angrier.
What was he angry about? He should be happier now that his admirer had come to him, shouldn’t he?
“Miranda, Miranda!” Herbert shouted. “I’m coming, I’m coming!” At this time, Miranda, who had just come out with coffee, quickly ran to Herbert.
Herbert immediately ordered loudly, “Let’s add a few more dishes tonight. Miss Linda is staying for dinner, and we must have a feast. Miss Linda is my distinguished guest!” When she heard this, Miranda didn’t move.
“Didn’t you hear what I said? Hurry up and get ready.” Miranda’s hesitation made Herbert raise his voice.
“Yes.” Linda laughed. “Mr. Wharton, you are too kind. I’ll just eat a simple meal.” “In the future, you can call me Herbert.” Herbert suddenly said. Hearing their conversation, I felt very uncomfortable. I thought I wouldn’t care, but I was wrong.
When he got close to other women, my heart actually felt very uncomfortable.
I knew I shouldn’t have such a feeling.
But I couldn’t control my emotions.
“Mommy, mommy.” At this time, Lucky pulled at my pants.
I looked down and saw that there were still tears on her face. My heart ached for her.
It was an argument between the adults, but it always affected the child.
The next moment, I bent down and picked her up. Then I turned around and walked out of the villa.
Walking on the road, my mind was filled with what Herbert said just now when he asked Miranda to cook a few more dishes to entertain Linda.
They would definitely drink tonight. Maybe something else would happen. “Mommy, mommy.” At this time, Lucky, who was in my arms, touched my face and kept screaming.
I saw Lucky staring at me with her big round eyes.
I felt even more regretful. I was too hot-tempered just now. This matter had nothing to do with Lucky
The next moment, I touched her face and said regretfully. “Lucky, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have yelled at you, I’m sorry!
As I spoke, tears began to flow down my cheeks.
She wiped the tears on my face with her chubby little hand and said with difficulty, “Mommy, don’t cry. don’t cry.”
“Lucky.” Facing my lovely daughter, I quickly wiped away my tears. I didn’t want to cry in front of her, because I was a mother. In the future, I had to protect my daughter and son. I must be strong
That morning, Selina called me and Jeremy to her office.
I sat side by side with Jeremy in front of Selina’s desk. I didn’t understand why she had called me in with him
While I was wondering, Selina put a document in front of me and Jeremy. She said with a smile,
This is a big case. It’s the budget case of the QT Company. The QT Company is very famous in the industry. Linda handed this case over to our group this time. We must do our best I will personally monitor this case. I would like Jeremy to take charge of it. Bella, you’ll assist him. Do you have any objections?
“No. Jeremy shook his head first. ‘No.’ Although I had doubts, I shook my head. To be honest, I really didn’t want to work with Jeremy. Although he had been very well-behaved these days, it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t harass me in the future. However, the company wasn’t founded by me. There were many things that I couldn’t decide on
You must take this case seriously. Come out with the plan in half a month. If there are any problems, you can come to me at any time. Also, I hope that you can abandon the previous conflicts. After all, you are here to work, not to make conflicts. As long a this big case, I will ask Linda for a raise for you.’ Selina said in the end. Jeremy and i nodded, and then we left the office
Of 29 Mt colleagues were leaving one after another at the end of the day. Jeremy suddenly walked to me, who was packing up and preparing to leave.
I raised my head and took a glance at him, my heart full of vigilance.
I was always worried that he would do something that hurt me…
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 332
Bella’s POV:
Jeremy touched the back of his head and said, “Bella, it’s all my fault in the past. Don’t be bothered with me. Anyway, I’ve been taught a lesson. Let’s work well together in the future!”
After that, he pointed to his face with his hand.
Some of the bruises on his face had not healed yet. Hearing these words, I didn’t want to pursue the matter anymore. After all, Herbert had vented my anger for me. “Herbert, why does it have something to do with him? When I think of this name, my heart feels as if someone has pinched it.”
Although I didn’t know if Jeremy really knew his mistake, or if he knew that I was not easy to deal with, I still had to work with him in the future, so I didn’t want to make things difficult for him.
Therefore, I said, “I don’t want to mention the past anymore. I only hope that I can help you with the QY company case in the future.”
“That’s what I mean, that’s what I mean!” Hearing this, Jeremy grinned.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.” I pulled my lips and left with my bag.
If it weren’t for my job, I wouldn’t want to have any contact with a man like Jeremy for even a
second
Icarried my bag and walked out of the office building behind me. I looked up and saw a car that was parked under the steps ahead of me.
It was a black Bentley, with a unique license plate. It was Herbert’s car.
I stopped.
Then, the back window of the Bentley was slowly rolled down. I saw a cold face. The man naturally stretched out his hand and flicked off the ash on the cigarette butt between his fingers.
At this moment, I saw that Herbert glanced at me. He clearly saw me.
My heart was beating wildly. Why did he come to find me? What did he have to say to me after the last time?
Did he come to see Lucky off in person? That was impossible. Every time he sent Lucky to me, he would directly send her to my house. He didn’t contact me in advance, so he couldn’t have sent Lucky to my company, could he? I took two steps forward. At this moment, I saw Herbert suddenly wave at me, and there was a smile at the corner of his mouth, although the smile was vague. I was about to step forward when I heard the sound of high heels behind me.
I immediately looked back and saw that it was Linda, who was dressed very beautifully and came to my back.
When I saw Linda, I couldn’t help but be stunned!
At this time, Linda also saw me and greeted me in a very friendly way. “Bella, are you off work?
“Yes.” I was a little confused.
“I have a date. I have to go now.” Linda smiled at me and then walked past me quickly.
I looked back and saw Linda walking to the black Bentley in a few steps.
At this time, Connor, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, had already gotten out of the car and turned to Linda to open the back door for her.
Then, Linda got in the car while talking and laughing. Connor also got in the driver’s seat, and then the car slowly started.
At this moment, I saw that Herbert’s eyes glanced outside, and then the window was slowly closed. The Bentley turned into the lane and gradually disappeared.
Herbert was showing off to me. I understood what he meant. He wanted to tell me that a lot of women wanted to get close to him. As long as he wanted, those women would fall into his arms.
If he wanted to humiliate me or make me sad, then he did it. My hand was on the right side of my chest, and I felt a dull pain there.
However, Herbert was too dedicated. His legs had just turned better, but he was already eager to pick up the beauty in person for a date.
His injury had not yet healed. When he was in pain, could he perform well in bed?
After a while, I suddenly felt like a wooden pestle here.
Herbert could just act as he pleased and no matter who he was with, it had nothing to do with me! wouldn’t care about it anymore, and I wouldn’t be sad. I would live a good life in the future, work well, take good care of the children, and even find another man who could accept me to date.
The next moment, i walked in the direction of home, because at this time, Lucky was about to be sent back
A few days later, in the morning. I had just stepped into the floor of the accounting office when I saw a delivery man holding a beautiful bouquet of red roses and yelled, “Miss Linda, who is Miss Linda?”
“She’s in the innermost office.” A female employee pointed to the delivery man.
“Thank you.” The delivery man held the bunch of roses and walked quickly in the direction led by the female staff.
At this time, several female colleagues around quickly began to talk about it.
“This is the fourth day, isn’t it? Every morning when Linda comes to work, she will receive a bunch of delicate red roses. And I secretly checked the card on it. The signature is a man named Herbert!”
“This Herbert isn’t an ordinary person. He’s the president of the Wharton Group. It’s said that his family background is extremely powerful, and he’s very handsome!”
“No wonder Linda has been very beautiful these days, and she has a very good temper. It turns out that it’s because of the nourishment of love.”
I turned around and walked into the office. I didn’t want to listen to those people’s comments
anymore. Sitting in front of the computer, I tried my best to get myself into work, but I always couldn’t concentrate.
I told myself in my heart, “That person has nothing to do with me anymore.” “Don’t be unhappy because of him!”
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 333
Bella’s POV
Since then, I had been working hard in the company, taking good care of Lucky, doing chores, and cooking. When I had time, I had to take care of my online business. In short, my life was very busy. In fact, only I knew that being busy was the only way to stop my imagination from running wild. I didn’t want my brain to have the energy to think about what happened to Herbert and the other women. The budget case of the QT Company went very smoothly. Soon, more than a week had passed, and it would be completed in a few days.
During this period of time, Jeremy was very well-behaved. Not only did he not cause me any trouble, but he also worked very hard. Even Selina was quite friendly. She was very cooperative and didn’t make things difficult for me.
Everything seemed to be going very smoothly.
That morning, I was sitting in front of my desk when Selina walked in anxiously.
“Bella, bad news. Jeremy got acute appendicitis last night and had an operation in the hospital. He took a week off. I don’t think he’ll be able to come to work for a week.” Selina said anxiously as she walked to my desk.
Hearing this, I couldn’t help but frown and said, “But we are going to hand in the QT Company case on Monday next week. I’m afraid I can’t finish it all by myself in three days.”
Selina lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said. “Then can you work on the weekend? I’m going on a business trip tomorrow morning, and the other people in the group have work to do now, so I really can’t find anyone to help you. Besides, no one is familiar with this case, so it will take one or two days to get familiar with everything. Even if there’s someone who can help you, it won’t be very helpful. Why don’t you work harder?” Selina said in a tone of negotiation. She explained to me for a long time. I had never withdrawn from work, so I nodded and said, “Till try my best.” “I know you can do it. Thank you for your hard work.” After saying that, Selina nodded with satisfaction and turned back to her office.
It was the weekend. I contacted Gary and asked him to take care of Lucas and Lucky during the weekend. I had to work hard these few days. At midnight, I was still working in front of the lamp. “Bella, you don’t have to sacrifice your rest time for your work.” Joey said. “I have to make use of the weekend finish the case. I have to hand it in on Monday.” I said without looking up Seeing this, Joey frowned and said, “It’s a pity that I’m going on a business trip early tomorrow morning. Otherwise, I can help you.”
“Don’t be siūly. You don’t know much about this case. Go to sleep quickly.” I patted the back of Joey’s hand.
Joey turned around and touched her head. Then, she suddenly turned around and said, “Do you think
that Jeremy is deliberately trying to set you up?”
“What do you mean?” Hearing this, I raised my head. “I think it’s too strange that Jeremy is sick at this time. How could it happen so coincidentally?” Joey stepped forward and said.
I lowered my head and thought about it. I felt that something was wrong, but I didn’t say anything. I had accepted this job now, and Selina had to go on a business trip early tomorrow morning. No matter what the situation was, I had to finish this case.
Therefore, I said, “It’s useless to think so much now. Jeremy has already asked for leave.
“If I can’t hand in the case on Monday, all the responsibilities will be on me. The most important thing for me now is to find a way to finish this case.”
After that, I lowered my head and continued to work
“I told you not to continue working in this company. If you don’t listen to me, you will definitely suffer losses.” Joey yawned after nagging for a while, then turned around a
After two days and three nights of fighting, I finally completed the case three hours before I went to work on Monday
On Monday morning. I was very tired,
In the past few days, I only slept for two or three hours a day. I even counted the time when I ate and went to the bathroom. Finally, I finished my work.
Sitting in front of the computer. I turned on the computer, but something was wrong with the computer, and it was still the same after I tried turning on and off several times in a row. I couldn’t help but be a little anxious. After all, the first half of the budget case was saved in the computer. I had to copy the latter half together in order to print everything out.
At this moment, Selina walked in with her bag on her back. As soon as she saw me, she immediately turned around and walked to my desk.
“Bella, have you completed the case for the QT Company?” Selina asked anxiously.
“Yes.” I nodded.
Upon hearing this, Selina immediately beamed and said, “That’s great. I knew you wouldn’t let me down. If you pass successfully this time, I will report it to Linda ask her to give you a raise. After all, this case is urgent and the workload is big. It’s just so happened that Jeremy got appendicitis. It’s really hard for you!”
“Jessica, I suddenly can’t turn on my computer. Please ask someone to fix it as soon as possible. The first half of the budget case is still in it, otherwise, there will be no way to print it!”
Upon hearing this, Selina was also very anxious. She immediately called the maintenance department
Soon, the technician was here to fix the problem. Luckily, it was not a big problem, and it was fixed in half an hour.
After it was fixed, I quickly copied the document and handed it to the lady from the printing department, asking her to print the document out as soon as possible. In short, before noon, I finally placed the QT Company budget case on Selina’s desk. She heaved a sigh of relief.
This time, Selina was so considerate that she gave me half a day off and asked me to go back to
rest in the afternoon.
I was so tired that I didn’t have much energy to think. I just wanted to go to bed as soon as possible.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning.
I tidied up and put on a beige professional suit. I was full of confidence in my high heels and went to work
As soon as I walked into the office, I felt that the atmosphere was not right. My colleagues were whispering something. I sat in my seat with confusion. Suddenly, two men in police uniforms came in from the door.
“Excuse me, are you Bella?” The two men went straight to me.
“Yes.” I nodded, feeling very strange.
One of the men showed his ID and said seriously, “This is my work ID. Now we suspect that you have something to do with a commercial crime. Please follow us to the police station to assist in the investigation!”
Commercial crime?
I immediately panicked, “What on earth happened?”
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 334
Bella’s POV “Please follow us immediately.” One of the policemen urged.
At this time, I came to my senses and asked with a tongue-tied voice, “Which commercial crime am I involved in? Did you make a mistake? I never did anything illegal.”
“If you have anything to say, you can say it when you’re at the police station.” The two policemen’s faces were very serious and they didn’t listen to me at all.
At this moment, Selina stepped in from the outside.
As soon as she saw the two policemen with ID, she said to me harshly. “Bella, I didn’t expect that you would do such a thing. You really let me down!”
“You‘re very good at work. As long as you work hard, you will definitely have a bright future. Do you know that you have to pay the price for doing this? You might be be fired if things are not too serious. But if it’s serious, you will never be able to work in this field again in the future, or you might even be sentenced.”
“Once you go to prison, your whole life will be over!”
I was even more confused. “What the hell is going on? What did I do?”
“Selina, I want to know what I did. Why did you say that?” I asked, trying my best to hold back my anger.
Upon hearing this, Selina was so angry that she laughed. She reached out and pointed to the other employees in the office and said, “Bella, you are really good at acting. Do you know that everyone in the company knows what you have done? Why are you still pretending to be innocent?” I looked up and saw that the eyes of the six staff members were all staring at me. I began to panic. “What the hell is going on? What have I done?” At this time, an older employee accused me. “Bella, we didn’t expect that you would take advantage of your position to sell the next annual budget plan of the QT Company to their competitors, which led to the exposure of the trade secrets of the QT company. What you did not only made you unable to gain a foothold in the industry, but also seriously affected the reputation of our company. I really don’t know what you are thinking. Just 20,000 dollars can make you abandon a professional career as an accountant. It’s really shameful to work with you!” Hearing this, I immediately shook my head and said, “How could I do such a thing? There must be a misunderstanding. Someone must have slandered me!”
“Who’s slandering you? Didn’t the competitor of the QT Company transfer 20,000 dollars to your account yesterday? And a few days ago, someone saw you drinking coffee with a senior executive of the competitor of the QT Company in a coffee shop. Is that right?” Selina immediately said.
At this moment, I stared at her in disbelief. Did someone transfer 20,000 dollars to my account yesterday? I had two accounts. One was a salary card, which had message alerts. The other was a bank card, which did not have message alerts.
I didn’t receive any message alert yesterday. It seemed that someone must have transferred the 20,000 dollars to my bank card.
As for the senior executive of the competitor of the QT Company, it was a classmate whom I hadn’t seen for a long time. We suddenly met each other on the street a few days ago. We drank coffee together, but my classmate only said that he was working in an advertising company, and didn’t say which one it was.
Thinking of this, I roughly understood. All of this was planned. Someone must have framed me. Who was the one who wanted to frame me? My gaze was finally fixed on Selina’s face. Who else would hate me so much other than her? It was no wonder that Jeremy suddenly got acute appendicitis. It seemed that he was also involved in this. I could only blame myself for being too careless. How could I fall into their trap so easily? “All of this was designed by you, right?” I said indignantly “Don’t accuse me. Now all the evidence is pointed at you, and you can’t escape at all. I advise you to confess to the police when you’re at the police station. If you refuse. It will only bring more trouble. If you take the initiative to explain it, you won’t be punished so severelyi” Selina raised her chin and sneered.
“Selina, it’s not so easy to frame a good person.” I said.
The two policemen couldn’t wait any longer. They urged impatiently, “Bella. please come with us immediately, or we can only take you away by force, which will make you look bad!” The next moment, I picked up my bag, glanced coldly at Selina, and followed the two policemen away
When we arrived at the police station, three police officers interrogated me and asked about the details of the case in detail.
They kept asking me questions for seven or eight hours before letting me go home. And I couldn’t go out before the case was over. They told me that I had to pick up their calls at any time.
I walked on the street at dusk in low spirits. How could I be in the mood to take care of Lucky now?! was also afraid that my mood would affect her, so I called Gary and asked him to take care of Lucky
for two days.
On the way back, I thought a lot. In the end, I was sure that this matter was planned and carried out by Selina and Jeremy
Now all the evidence pointed to me. There was nothing I could do.
But I couldn’t be framed like this. If I were to be put in jail, what would happen to my children?
And this would become a stain in my life.
I might not even be able to find a job in the future.
So I couldn’t be framed successfully. I thought for a long time, and in the end, I thought of Klein. He was a lawyer, and a famous one. Should I ask him to help me file a lawsuit?
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 335
Bella’s POV
Klein could indeed be very helpful.
But it took me such a long time to stay away from him. If I asked him for help now... I shook my head
Unless there was no other way, I would not look for him for the time being.
The next morning, although I was under a lot of pressure, I still appeared in the office.
As soon as I walked into the office, I saw Jeremy
The expression on Jeremy’s face was very proud as if he was watching me making a fool of myself.
I walked over and asked, “How did your appendicitis recover so quickly?
Jeremy raised his chin and said, “I’m a little better, and I came to work immediately.”
“Your appendicitis happened so coincidentally,” I said. “What do you mean by that?” asked Jeremy “You know it yourself!” I said, and then I turned back to my seat.
At this time, Jeremy was furious. He stood up directly and threw the document in his hand on the table!
“I know it myself? You betrayed the company. What right do you have to scold me? If I was not sick, how could you have the chance to collect 20,000 dollars from someone else?” Jeremy was very arrogant
Hearing this, I stared at him fiercely. I thought, “This matter must have something to do with Jeremy. It must be that he colluded with Selina to frame me.”
I looked at him, but he didn’t dare to look at me.
Then, he turned around and walked out, saying, “You are a crazy woman!”
My hand clenched the hern of my shirt tightly. I was so resentful, but I didn’t know how to deal with this matter.
At this time, a female colleague answered a phone call and shouted to me, “Bella, Linda asked you to go to her office!”
Hearing this, I hesitated for a moment, then got up and left the office.
Sitting opposite Linda, Linda was very gentle to me.
Linda clasped her hands together and said, “Bella, Jessica told me everything that had happened. To be honest, I still have some doubts about it. I don’t believe that you would do such a thing.”
Hearing this, a glimmer of hope rose in my heart. “Linda, I was indeed wronged, I…”
However, Linda interrupted me. “Bella, I know how you are feeling now, but I can’t just blindly believe you. Now all the evidence is pointing at you. You can only prove your innocence with useful evidence!”
“….” I couldn’t come up with any evidence at the moment. I spent all my energy on my work over the past few days.
Then, Linda said, “I have already reported what happened to you to the general manager. In your current situation, it is not suitable for you to continue to work here.”
“Are you going to fire me?” I shouted.
I could leave this company.
But it couldn’t be now.
If I left now, it meant that those terrible things were done by me.
Linda raised her hand to signal me to calm down, and then said, “It’s not that you’re fired, but you’ll be suspended from your duties first. When the truth of the matter comes out, we’ll make the final decision.”
Hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief. Linda said gently, “I think you need to calm down. Go back and see if you can find any evidence to prove your innocence. Besides, if you continue to stay here, it will increase your psychological pressure. Don’t you think so?”
“Yes.” I nodded.
A few minutes later, I came out of Linda’s office.
I went back to my office and simply tidied up my things. Then I carried my bag and was about to leave.
At this time, the door of Selina’s office opened, and she walked out, twisting her waist in high heels.
The way she looked at me was filled with a sense of schadenfreude and superiority. I knew that she was here to humiliate me.
Sure enough, Selina walked up to me, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and said sarcastically. “Bella, Linda said that you’re suspended. I guess you won’t come back in the future again. You’d better take everything with you so that you don’t have to come a few more times!”
When she said this, her eyes were full of contempt.
I was already very angry. But I knew that the angrier I was, the more proud she would be.
Therefore, I wouldn’t fall for her trick. I sneered and said, “I’m just suspended from work. I’m not fired. I’ll definitely come back!”
After that, I turned around and walked out of the door.
After I walked out of the company, I was even more depressed. I really didn’t have any way to solve this problem now. I didn’t have any evidence to prove that I was innocent
At this moment, a black car appeared not far away.
It was the black Bentley. Herbert was here again!
I was sure he was here for Linda.
However, it was not lunch time yet.
He just couldn’t wait to see Linda, could he?
I was a little unhappy, so I turned around and was about to leave.
As soon as I took a few steps, I heard the sound of the engine behind me, and then the black Bentley was in front of me!
The next second, the rear window was rolled down.
The glass window then revealed the cold face of a man.
“Get in the car!’ Herbert said to me, I frowned. Didn’t he come to find Linda?
Why did he ask me to get in the car?
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 336
Bella’s POV:
“Mr. Wharton, I think you‘ve found the wrong person, right? The person you‘re looking for is still at work!”
After that, I turned around and was about to leave.
Then there was a sound of the door opening behind me, and my wrist was grabbed by Herbert. I struggled instinctively. “What are you going to do? Let me go!”
“I have something to tell you!” Herbert took my hand and was about to leave.
I shook off his hand and snarled, “I have nothing to say to you!” “Can you talk to me calmly?” Herbert roared at me.
“Herbert, please don’t bother me anymore, okay? I’m really anxious now. Aren’t you looking for Linda? Go and find her. You can enjoy lunch together. You can even go to sleep together after lunch. Aren’t you very close recently? You sent a bunch of delicate red roses to her every day with your name written on the card.”
“Stop pestering me, okay?” I yelled at him. While I was very angry, he smiled. He said, “Are you jealous?”
I immediately denied. “Nonsense! I won’t be jealous! Absolutely not!”
The more irritable I was, the happier he laughed.
In the end, he irritated me. I turned around and left. “You’re being unreasonable!” However, he reached out to hold my arm and pulled it hard, and then I fell into his arms. “Let me go!” I immediately struggled, but he held me tightly in his arms, refusing to let go. Suddenly remembering his injured leg. I raised my chin and threatened him. “If you don’t let me go, I’ll kick your injured leg.”
“You can’t bear to kick me.” Herbert’s face was full of smiles, but his tone was full of confidence.
“Who says I don’t dare?” I raised my chin and insisted on challenging him.
“You just don’t dare.” I looked up and saw his gentle eyes, and my heart couldn’t help beating faster. I didn’t do anything to him in the end. His leg was injured in order to save Betty. And if I kicked his leg again, it wouldn’t do me any good. Now I didn’t have the energy to take care of Lucas and Lucky. If I really went to jai, then they could only be handed over to Herbert. If his leg was lame, what about the children? I knew deep in my heart that I was just looking for an excuse. In fact, the most fundamental reason was that I couldn’t bear it.
I didn’t want him to be in pain.
I was pulled into the car by Herbert.
Connor then started the engine, and then the car was driven into the lane.
It was quiet in the car. I got rid of the hand that was held by him and rubbed my wrist with the other hand. He was so strong that I could feel the pain in my wrist.
“Are you okay?” Herbert asked.
“I’m fine.” I shook my head and asked seriously, “What do you want from me?”
Hearing this, Herbert frowned and said, “Tell me all the details of the budget case of the QT company you took over.” Seeing his serious eyes, I asked, “How did you know that?”
“The police have found you. Do you still want to hide it?” Herbert asked.
I lowered my head and said nothing.
Then he said seriously. “You are the mother of my children. I can’t let you go to jail!”
Hearing this, I looked up and saw Herbert’s earnest and determined eyes. Suddenly, my nose twitched, and tears began to well up in my eyes.
To be honest, no matter how strong I was, I was still a woman. The shock and grievance of the past two days had really crushed me, especially the six or seven hours of interrogation session in the police station, which really tortured people’s nerves and will.
The police’s investigation and questions made me secretly swear that I really couldn’t break the law. Fortunately, I was released after six or seven hours. Otherwise, I would really go crazy.
Then, Herbert hooked his arm around my shoulder.
I was pulled into his arms.
His arms were very warm, and I suddenly felt that I was being protected.
I didn’t cry when I was framed.
I didn’t cry when I was ridiculed.
I didn’t cry when I was examined by the police like a criminal.
But now, because of Herbert’s hug. I could no longer control my tears.
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 337
Bella’s POV:
A few minutes later, I finally calmed down. “Have you cried enough?” Herbert asked.
“Yes.” I took the tissue from his hand, wiped my nose, and nodded.
At this time, Herbert lowered his head to look at the shirt on his chest and said with a smile, “Today, my shirt made a great contribution.”
Hearing this, I looked at the part of Herbert’s shirt on his chest that had become wet. There must be tears and snot, and there were wrinkles everywhere. They were all done by me.
But naturally. I would not show weakness. I wiped my tears and said, “Take it off and I’ll wash it for you. Anyway, your shirt is a world brand, and I can’t afford it!”
Herbert lowered his head and cleared his throat, then said seriously, “Hurry up and tell me all the details about the budget case of the QT Company. You must take this matter seriously now because once you are convicted of commercial crimes, you are likely to go to jail. Do you understand?”
Hearing his words, I naturally understood that my current situation was really dangerous.
I needed the help of Herbert. I didn’t want to go to jail.
After that, I told him what had happened.
Including how Selina handed over the case to Jeremy and me, what happened in the middle, what happened when Jeremy suddenly had acute appendicitis in the middle of the process, and everything else in detail. I was in a mess now, so I could only tell him all the details because I didn’t know if these details were useful.
After listening to my description, Herbert lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then he looked up and said, “It seems that you jumped into the trap that Selina dug for you. This matter has something to do with Jeremy too!”
“I don’t understand why Selina and Jeremy had to do this. How many people did they have to find to cooperate with them to frame me like this?”
At this moment, Herbert just sneered. “Do you think they didn’t get any benefits?”
Hearing this, I couldn’t help frowning and stared at him in confusion. I didn’t understand what he meant.
Then, Herbert said, “Although I don’t have any evidence, I can deduce that the people who revealed the budget plan of the QT Company to their competitors should be Selina and Jeremy!”
I opened my mouth wide in surprise. “You mean they leaked the document, took the money, and then made me take responsibility?”
“Right.” Herbert nodded. In the past, I had thought that Selina and Jeremy had schemed to frame me because they wanted to get revenge on me. I didn’t expect them to take the money from the QT Company competitors and push me out to shoulder the responsibility. Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 337
They were very vicious people.
And this time, they wanted to send me to prison.
This degree of viciousness was beyond my imagination.
Herbert reached out and grabbed my hand, saying, “Don’t worry too much. I’ll take care of everything.”
I knew that I should trust and rely on Herbert. It was ridiculous to think about it. I had always rejected him, but now I had to rely on his help.
I couldn’t refuse his help because of my self-esteem. I couldn’t be willful. If I went to jail, my future and reputation would be damaged.
I would also be separated from the children. The children would gradually grow up. If they knew that their mother used to be a prisoner.
I couldn’t accept such a thing happening
“What are you thinking about?” Herbert asked me.
After a moment of silence, I said, “Although I know that they framed me, I really can’t find any evidence.”
“You just need to tell me everything. As for the rest, leave it to me!” Herbert looked at me.
“What can I do?” I asked.
Herbert said, “No, you don’t need to do anything. I can handle everything.”
I wanted to say something but was interrupted by Herbert again. “Well, leave it to me. Don’t worry.”
I lowered my head and didn’t continue to talk i knew that he had the ability to solve this problem, and he was always like this. When he encountered something, he would solve it completely by himself.
This reminded me of the things that happened to Lucas before this.
He chose to leave me behind, and he shouldered everything alone.
I was Lucas’s mother, and I was also the person who gave Lucas life. I would also make a contribution at that time.
But he wouldn’t tell me,
Was he afraid that I would be worried? Or did he think I couldn’t help him?
This kind of emotion was really too complicated.
I didn’t want to go to jail, so I had to accept his help. But I also hoped that I could do something. After all, it was my own business.
I hoped that I could work with Herbert to solve this problem.
Instead of letting him deal with this matter alone.
“No, I can’t continue to think about it.”
Herbert was helping me now.
I shouldn’t have had so many emotions at this time…
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 338
Bella’s POV My mood gradually calmed down
Herbert dropped me off at my doorstep
Tmn going back
turned around and reached out to open the door
However, as soon as my hand touched the car door, a hand suddenly grabbed my wrist!
My heart skipped a beat “What is the going to do immediately had a bad idea in my heart. Does he want me to stop me from going home under the guise of helping me?
The next moment I heard Herberts voice Who are those people 7
When I looked up. I saw Herbert looking at Connor in front of me It turned out that he was talking to
After Connor stared out of the car window for a long time, I followed his gaze and looked out I saw three of four young men standing downstairs in my apartment building dressed libe hooligans
I was a httle surprised The apartment building rented by Joey and I was not a high end real estate building, but there would not be hooligans who would stay here What happened today?
And then Connor turned back to way to Herbert Most likely these people were hired by the QT Company to take revenge on Viss Stepanek Miss Stepanek its best if you dont go home for now These people smethods are rather vile They might be able to harm you.”
Hearing this, I felt a little numb at that time
Herbert let go of my wrist, and Immediately touched my wrist It was a little painful He had exerted too much strength just now “I’m sorry I was anxious just now’ Herbert wanted to explain “I’m fine” I shook my head quickly After all, he was doing this for my own good if I got out of the car, I didn’t know what would happen Then he said in a questioning tone. You can’t go home for the time being. Do you want me to get you a room in the hotel or do you want to live in my house?”
i will get a hostel myself. Are you kidding me? Can afford to stay in a hotel? It costs hundreds of dollars a night I dont know how many days it will take for me to stay away from home At this time, Connor had already slowly started the car “You don’t have to worry about the cost,” said Herbert “I’m very grateful to you for your help in dealing with the commercial crime this time. You don’t have the responsibility to pay for As soon as I said this Before Herbert could say anything. Connor, who was driving in front, spoke. “Miss Stepanek, I know I shouldn’t have interrupted you, but those people from the OT Company are not easy to deal with. They might find you based on the record of your identity card when you book the room, so I suggest that you go to Mr Wharton’s house. You can also take care of Lucas and Lucky at the same time. Otherwise, if you take them outside, the safety of the children might be in danger too.”
Hearing this, I couldn’t help weighing it in my heart. In reality, what Connor said made sense. Staying in a hotel definitely meant that I couldn’t take care of both Lucas and Lucky. The people of the underworld would just do anything as they pleased.
I couldn’t joke about the safety of the children, and if I couldn’t see them for many days, I would definitely miss them very much.
But did this mean that I have to live with Herbert?
At this time, Herbert spoke. “If you don’t want to see me, I can move out first and leave the house to you and the children!”
Hearing that, I looked up into Herbert’s eyes.
Herbert didn’t give me a chance to refute. “Lucky cried all night last night. Lucas’s heart ached so much that he couldn’t sleep at night. The children can’t live without you!”
These words touched the softest string in my heart. Hearing this, I immediately asked nervously, “How is Lucky now? Did Lucas go to kindergarten today?”
“Lucas went to kindergarten. I called Gary and told him that Lucky made a big fuss during the day,” Herbert replied.
Hearing these words, I hurriedly said to Connor, who was driving in front of me, “Connor, please drive faster!” “Alright.” Connor nodded, and then he stepped on the gas pedal harder.
I foWowed Herbert into the villa. I didn’t even have time to change my shoes. I walked into the entrance in high heels.
I walked into the living room and saw Gary coming out of the bedroom.
“Miss Stepanek, you’re here?” When Gary saw me, he smiled and greeted me.
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 339
Bella’s POV:
“Gary, where is Lucky?” My eyes were looking for my child in the room. “She just fell asleep.” Gary opened the bedroom door for me. I didn’t have time to say anything else. I nodded to Gary, then turned and went into the bedroom. At this moment, Lucky was sleeping on a small bed. Her fat body was covered with a thin pink quilt with a cartoon pattern. Her face was chubby, and her eyelashes were very long. She looked like a delicate doll
Seeing such a lovely sleeping posture, I felt at ease again. I had experienced how difficult it was to be a mother. Especially when I heard the child crying and looking for me, I would be very sad. I reached out to touch Lucky’s face, which was as red as an apple, and my eyebrows stretched out. At this moment, Herbert gently walked to me, and his eyes were also looking at Lucky on the small bed.
I felt that I was suddenly enveloped by a whiff of breath. Looking back, I saw that he was already very close to me. It could be said that the distance between me and him was not even half a foot.
At this moment, my heart was obviously in a panic. I tidied my hair around my ear and saw Gary coming in, so I tried to find a topic to talk to him with a smile. “Gary, I haven’t seen Lucky in the past
two days. Did she make a fuss?”
“Oh.” Gary was about to answer. Gary didn’t answer. His eyes were fixed on Herbert behind me. I looked back and saw that Herbert was also looking at Gary, which made me frown. After that, I realized that it was possible that Herbert was lying to me because Lucky had a good relationship with Gary. Sometimes, when I was busy with work, Gary would take care of her for a few days, and she would not make a fuss.
So, I felt that I had been fooled.
At this time, Herbert said directly, “I mean to tell her the truth!”
Hearing this, Gary immediately said, “Miss Stepanek, Lucky has been looking for you for the past two days. Although she didn’t cry and make a scene, she has always been unhappy. Fortunately, Lucas knew how to coax her. He’s really a good brother!”
Hearing this, I felt that this was the real situation.
Therefore, I smiled at Gary and said, “Gary, thank you for taking care of my two children with all your heart.”
“This is my job. Besides, I’ve been taking care of Lucas and Lucky for so long, and I really like them,” Gary said.
“Lucky’s asleep. Let’s not disturb her. I’ll take you to the room upstairs.” I said, “I think it’s better for me to stay with Lucky downstairs.” Hearing this, Herbert suddenly laughed and said, “Who said I wouldn’t let you stay with Lucky? Who do you think you have to sleep with? You…” He was teasing me In fact, I meant that I didn’t want to stay upstairs. I wanted to live downstairs. After all, I knew that both Herbert’s bedroom and study were upstairs.
The main reason why I had such concerns was that he forced me to do something before.
I was a little scared of him.
Herbert pointed to the three rooms upstairs and said, “This is my bedroom. This is my study. That’s a guest room. You can live there!”
The guest room was the innermost one, and there was a study in the middle of his bedroom. Only then did I feel a little relieved.
“I’ll take you to have a look. The bedding and supplies on the bed are all brand new. No one has ever lived there,” Herbert explained.
Seeing that he was going to take me there in person. I immediately waved my hand and said, “No need. I’ll go by myself. You can do your own business.”
After that, I turned around and went straight to the innermost bedroom. I pushed the door open, walked in, and then closed the door behind me
Leaning against the door, I took a deep breath.
I moved here all of a sudden. I had to call Joey as soon as possible and ask her to bring my clothes and daily necessities here.
I took out my phone from my bag and saw that it was out of power. I didn’t bring a charger at the moment, and I didn’t find it in this room. In the end, I had no choice but to go to the next room and borrow one from Herbert to solve the problem.
I knocked on the door.
Herbert replied, “Come in.”
As soon as I walked in, I saw a naked man in front of me.
I saw the strong muscles of Herbert’s upper body, and he didn’t wear pants, only leopard-print underwear…
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 340
Bella’s POV:
The leopard print underwear was what I bought for him that year. I bought it for him as a prank, and he refused to wear it. I didn’t expect that he would still wear it even though we had been separated for so long “Have you seen enough?” Hearing this, I came to my senses. I turned around and complained, “Why didn’t you lock the door when you changed your clothes?” “I’m changing clothes in my bedroom!” As he spoke, I felt a voice coming from behind me I turned around and bumped into his chest. I stepped back in a hurry and almost fell down, but he held me in his arms.
Then he leaned close to me and whispered in my ear, “The look in your eyes just now was really like that of a female leopard.”
The atmosphere was a little ambiguous.
I couldn’t guarantee what would happen if I let this kind of ambiguous atmosphere go on,
I pushed him away and was about to leave However, the person behind me grabbed my wrist.
“What do you want to do?” I was a little nervous,
“What do you want me to do?” The look in Herbert’s eyes was ambiguous.
Logically speaking, I should push him away now and warn him not to force me.
But my body didn’t seem to be resistant to his approach.
I did not hate it. Instead, I was actually looking forward to it? Could it be because I hadn’t been with a man for a long time? My face suddenly became hot,
But my reason told me that I couldn’t do it now.
Fortunately, he didn’t force me.
He let go of my wrist, then turned around and took a while shirt from the wardrobe. He put it on and said while bultoning, “I have something to ask you for help.”
“What’s it?”
“Here,” Herbert pul a tie in front of me.
I looked up and saw the blue striped lie in front of me. I frowned. Did he want me to tie it for you?
“You don’t know how to do it yourself?” I was very rewctant.
“I want you to help mo,” sold Herbert I rolled my eyes at him, and I didn’t take the tle from him “Didn’t you do it yourself every day?” At this time, Herbert was a little impatient, and his voice was a Ottle loud, “Hey, I’m going out to prove that you have nothing to do with the commercial crime. Are you not willing to help me with
such a small thing?”
Hearing this, I frowned. Although I was still reluctant, I reached out and took his tie. Then I stepped forward and reached out to hang the tie around his neck.
Herbert was much taller than me. I had to stand on tiptoe to help him tie his tie.
At this moment, my feet were raised to the maximum limit. I couldn’t help but raise my heel again. Maybe my feet were really a little numb. I couldn’t help but slip and fall to the side!
Just when I thought I was about to fall, he held me in his arms.
It was the end of summer. Although the air conditioner was on in the room, it was still a little hot. When our bodies touched each other at this moment, the surrounding temperature inexplicably rose.
Herbert’s POV:
To be honest, I asked her to tie my tie on purpose.
If you liked someone, you would want to have more contact with her.
But I didn’t expect her to fall.
Protecting her was almost my instinct.
At this moment, she was in my arms.
When I touched her skin, I no longer wanted to let go.
Looking at her pink lips, I really wanted to lower my head and kiss her.
But i controlled my impulse. Bella didn’t like to be forced.
Our relationship was broken because of my previous impulse.
I couldn’t force her anymore
I wanted to let go of her after she regained her balance.
But she was struggling in my arms.
I tried my best to restrain my desire and it rose again like the waves of the sea. My body temperature and breathing seemed to be out of my control.
My lower body had also started to become hard…
