Ch. 441..450
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 441
Bella‘s POV:
When I stepped into the banquet hall with Herbert, the banquet had already begun. There were many people in the banquet hall, at least more than two hundred people. The banquet hall was grand and magnificent, with flowers, delicious food, and fine wine everywhere.
Herbert generously introduced me to everyone that I was his wife and invited them to attend our wedding next month. I was blessed by many people, and for a moment, I was in a good mood.
In fact, what I cared about most in my heart was that he valued and cherished me. This was what many women couldn‘t ask for in their lives. The attention and cherishing of their loved ones were the greatest happiness in this woman‘s life.
Later, many friends from the business world and political circles talked to Herbert, so I consciously avoided them. After all, I was not interested in those conversations.
I reached for a piece of exquisite cake on the table. I was about to take a bite when someone called me from behind.
“Bella?” Hearing this, I turned my head and saw Linda standing behind me with a smile. “Linda? Long time no see.” I was very happy to see Linda.
Linda looked me up and down and said with a smile, “You‘re getting more and more beautiful. I‘m jealous of you.”
I responded with a smile, “You‘ve always been so beautiful, so I‘m the one who‘s always been jealous of you.”
“You‘re really good at talking,” Linda said with a smile.
“By the way, let‘s have a cup of coffee another day. I haven‘t thanked you for the few clients you introduced to me yet,” I said gratefully.
Linda waved her hand and said, “It‘s not a big deal. You don‘t have to keep it in mind. By the way, I heard that you and… Herbert are getting married?”
When I heard Linda mention the name of Herbert, I paused for a moment, but I didn‘t think too much about it.
I nodded. “Indeed.”
Linda smiled. “You‘re going to invite me to your wedding, aren‘t you?”
“Of course. I‘m just afraid that you…” I hesitated.
I was afraid Linda would feel sad. After all, I knew that Linda was in love with Herbert.
Linda said with a srnile, “Don‘t worry. I‘ve been thinking about it for a long time. Although Herbert is excellent, both of you already have two children. I don‘t want to be their stepmother. I‘ll find someone who loves me in the future!” Seeing that Linda could even make fun of it, it meant that she had really let it go. Il seemed that I had thought too much just now.
Then I said, “The invitation will be delivered to you in two days.”
“I will definitely go.” Linda nodded.
At this moment, there was a little noise not far away.
Linda and I looked up and saw a bald old man trying his best to plead with a middle–aged man in a black suit, but the middle–aged man looked very impatient and left.
But the bald old man didn‘t give up. He pestered the man with a very elegant temperament next to him, and he was still annoyed by that man. The bald old man also brought a woman in her forties with him. The woman’s makeup was very heavy, and her clothes were very gorgeous, but it was hand to hide the haggard look on her face.
The bald old man was William‘s father, Daniel Morgan, and the beautifully dressed woman was Connie.
Daniel Morgan used to be a very proud person, but at this moment, he was very depressed. Connie‘s appearance as a rich wife was gone. Her depressed expression was very incompatible with her luxurious clothes.
At the moment of doubt, Linda spoke first. “I didn‘t expect that K.G. Software Company would fall so quickly. Ever since Daniel Morgan married this woman, it was as if he had met a god of misfortune. Almost everything went unfavorably.” “Will K.G. Software Company really go bankrupt this time?” I frowned and asked.
Linda nodded and said, ‘It‘s just that he hasnt entered the bankruptcy procedure vet. KG Software Company was founded by him and his first wife. Of course, he wouldnt let like this. But what‘s the use of unwillingness? You see, he came to this party today in order to find investments for his company. But the current situation is that no one will give him money. It is said that when he started his business from scratch, it was only because of his wife‘s courage and ability that he could develop the K.G. Software Company. After the death of his wife, he married a terrible woman and forced his own son to leave. I heard that the woman made a few high–risk investments in some projects. In addition, his son took a large part of the money from him, so the funding chain broke down. I took one more look at the dejected look on Daniel Morgan and Connie‘s faces. lf any men were to be tainted by this woman, Connie, then their family would really break apart. They would truly be unfortunate.
A while ago, she was so arrogant, but she didn‘t expect that she would fall off the clouds so soon. She was a selfish and hypocritical woman, and it was not surprising that there would be today‘s results.
Linda added, “It can be seen that Daniel Morgan failed in the hands of a woman. Forget about
big shots in the business world look down on him and his current wife. Although his first wife was tough, she was very capable and could distinguish right from wrong.
Therefore, she won the admiration of many men in the business world. After the death of his ex wife, he married a new wife, so many people were unwilling to cooperate with him
*It‘s said that William has started a new business. Many big clients used to be William‘s mother‘s friends Now those big clients are willing to do business with William. On the one hand, William‘s business is very particular about rules. On the other hand, he valued relationships. Those old clients are all William‘s mother‘s friends Now they wanted to help an old friends son It‘s said that William‘s company is doing quite well now Al this moment, I looked up and suddenly saw a man and a woman coming in from the entrance of the banquet hall.
The man was fashionable and unrestrained, while the woman was tall and beautiful. Wasn‘t this William and his new girlfriend? Linda followed my gaze and looked at the entrance. She couldn‘t help but smile. “What a coincidence. They‘re here!”
Seeing William and his new girlfriend, I thought, “Although I didn‘t see Emma, she will definitely come to today‘s event. And Connie, I guess there will be a good show this time.”
“Hey, have you heard of some gossip? It‘s said that William once had a relationship with his stepmother‘s daughter. But it‘s said that the girl is not an ordinary person. William was entangled with her and Daniel Morgan forced his son to marry his step–daughter before. This is also the main reason why William was forced to cut off their father–son relationship,” Linda said doubtfully. “I‘ve also heard about it.” I nodded.
I had never mentioned it to Linda. In fact, Connie once ruined my mother‘s marriage.
Those things had passed, and I didn‘t want to mention them for the time being,
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 442
Bella‘s POV:
At this time, several of Linda‘s friends came over to chat with her. I was not familiar with them, so I smiled politely, turned around, walked to a waiter, and reached for a glass of juice from his tray.
Just then, I caught a glimpse of an angry woman walking in from the entrance.
That was Emma.
As expected, she was here.
I was stunned when I saw Emma.
She was a very vain person. At today‘s banquet, she would definitely wear a very luxurious dress.
But now, she was wearing ordinary clothes. She was wearing a pair of black trousers and a khaki shirt. Her hair was combed very casually, and her makeup was not exquisite. It was not even as good as before.
Seeing her, I couldn‘t help but turn to look at William, who was standing beside me. At this moment, he was holding his girlfriend‘s shoulder and chatting and laughing with everyone.
I was sure Emma would be looking for trouble with William again today.
I stood in the middle of William and Emma. Emma first saw me, and then she found William in the crowd.
Of course, when she saw that William was holding his new girlfriend in his arms, her face was filled with extreme anger.
I couldn‘t help twitching the corner of my mouth. This woman was really unrelenting. She had broken up with William. Why would she bother pestering him like this? It was useless. Instead, it would make him feel disgusted.”
Of course, I didn‘t want to get involved in their conflict, so I turned around and tried to avoid it.
However, Emma walked in front of me in a single step.
“Bella, are you very happy to see that I‘m unlucky? Do you wish to see me get even more unlucky?” Emma questioned me angrily.
I had never seen such a savage person. No wonder William was hiding from her.
“That‘s just your own thinking,” I said calmly.
At this time, I saw that Emma‘s hands had been clenched into fists. She shouted at me. “Let me tell you, I‘m just unlucky for the time being. In the future, maybe you will suffer more than me now!”
I was really annoyed with Emma‘s jealous personality, especially when she always compared hersell with me I felt that she was just a piece of disgusting chewing gum. It was hard to get rid of her as long as I touched it
*Time will witness everything My expression was still very calm
I really didn’t want to corpore anyself to Emina
In fact, leven disdained 10 compare with ima
None of her words could arouse my emotions
However, Emma was even angrier. She suddenly took a step forward and waved her arms, as if she wanted to hit me.
I immediately took a step back. If I were outside, I would fight back directly.
But this was a banquet. I didn‘t want to become a joke.
But if she continued to provoke me, I wouldn‘t be afraid of her.
My hand grasped the glass in my hand tightly. I glanced at the orange juice in the glass. If she dared to hit me, I would pour juice on her face first!
Just then, a strong arm suddenly wrapped around my shoulder and pulled me into his arms.
The force came so suddenly that I didn‘t react and almost fell down.
All the weight of my body was on that person.
As I panicked, I looked up and saw a handsome face. Seeing this face, I felt rest assured.
I took a look at the glass in my hand. It seemed that I didn‘t need it anymore.
It was Herbert.
Herbert glanced at me, and then coldly said to Emma, “Emma, you‘d better not make trouble for my wife, or you should understand the consequences!”
Hearing this, Emma took a step back, narrowed her eyes, and asked in disbelief, “Your wife?”
“I‘ve already registered my marriage with her. The wedding is next month, so anyone who wants to hurt her will be my enemy in the future!” Herbert said in a threatening tone.
Emma‘s angry expression softened a lot. She looked at me and said, “Mr. Wharton, I think you misunderstood me. I don‘t want to do anything to Bella. No matter what, she and I used to be relatives.”
I said disgustedly, “I have nothing to do with you before or now.”
“Humph, whether you admit it or not, my mother has defeated your mother!” Emma could only find some comfort in what she and Connie had done in the past.
“Humph, only your mother is willing to snatch a man like Ryan. At the end of the day, my mother should thank your mother. Otherwise, how could my mother get rid of a scumbag!” I said coldly.
“Even if he is a jerk, he is your biological father. If he is not good, then you are not good as well. Do you want to distance yourself from Ryan? Haha, you and he will be father and daughter for the rest of your life. You can‘t change the fact!” After saying that, Emma turned around and left.
Emma‘s words hit my heart. Although I hated Ryan, I couldn‘t deny that Ryan‘s blood flowed in my veins. I couldn‘t get rid of the fact that we was my father for the rest of my life.
At this time, Herbert comforted me in a low voice, “Don‘t listen to that woman‘s nonsense!”
I raised my head and smiled. “I understand. She‘s just trying to provoke me. But she‘s right. It‘s impossible to decide one‘s birth. You have to accept whatever parents the heavens have given you.”
“But you can choose me. I will always care about you in the future.” Herbert looked at me with a smile.
Theld Herbert‘s hand and looked at hirn with a smile.
At this time, there was a quarrel at the other end of the banquet hall,
Needless to say, I knew who it was.
I looked up and saw that Emma was already in front of William and his new girlfriend.
Somehow, there was a glass of red wine in Emma‘s hand. She reached out and poured it on William‘s new girlfriend‘s face, and cursed, “Bitch, how dare you steal my man? This is your lesson!” William‘s new girlfriend screamed. William quickly took out a tissue and wiped the red wine on her face. William‘s girlfriend was wearing a white evening gown. Now that she had been splashed with red wine, she looked very ugly.
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 443
Bella‘s POV:
At this time, William‘s expression became distorted because of anger. He pointed at Emma and said, “Emma, listen, don‘t call my girlfriend a bitch! Your mother is the bich!”
“How dare you scold my mom? After all, my mom is your stepmother, you stinky rat in the sower!” Emma threw the glass in her hand at William.
William didn‘t dodge at all. The glass cup hit him and then fell to the ground. The hard floor and the glass collided, and the sound of the glass shattering rang in the banquet hall. Everyone looked in that direction, and William and his girlfriend instantly became the focus of the party.
The next moment, William took a step forward. He raised his hand and gave Emma a tight slap across the face!
Emma fell to the ground.
William pointed at Emma and berated, “You‘re the real stinky rat in the sewer. Not long after my mother died, your mother came to seduce my father.”
“My dad will listen to everything she says. You and your mother want to take over our family property.”
“Your mother and you hurt us. I had a good relationship with my father, but because of both of you, cut off our father–son relationship. You ruined our family affection.”
“Now what did your mother do to my father? You made him invest in a lot of terrible projects, causing K.G. Software Company to go bankrupt. K.G. Software Company was created by my parents and my mother worked hard for it throughout her entire life. It was ruined by you just like that. Beating you to death won‘t even vent my anger but you dare to hit my woman?”
William‘s words made everyone look at Emma with disdain.
Emma lay on the ground, covered her face, and said with resentment, “William, no matter what, you hit me. I hate you. I won‘t forgive you in my life!”
“Who wants your forgiveness? I hate you! As long as we meet again, we will be enemies!” William was a little agitated. “You…“Emma couldn‘t complete her sentence. At this time, I saw someone pushing through the crowd. Seeing that Emma was lying on the ground and her face looked terrible, she couldn‘t help stepping forward to help her daughter up.
“What‘s going on? Who beat you?” Connie asked with concern
Ernma immediately threw herself into Connie‘s arms and burst into tears. “Mom, William scolded me and hit mel”
The next moment, Connie immediately pointed at William, “William, even if you‘ve found a new lover, you can‘t be so heartless as to hit my daughter!”
William didn‘t explain. Instead, he said in a cold voice, “Who asked your daughter to look for me i‘m the son of Daniel Morgan He was with you not long after my mother‘s death? And he listened to you completely I‘m his son, so of course, I can do such a thing!”
“You…” Connie couldn‘t say a word.
At this time, another person appeared in the crowd. I could tell at a glance that the man was William‘s father, Daniel Morgan. Connie stepped forward and grabbed his arm, saying, “Look at how your son bullied us. Hurry up and teach him a lesson!”
Daniel Morgan‘s expression was very ugly. He didn‘t teach William a lesson. Instead, he stomped his feet and said, “Can you guys stop causing trouble? Life is supposed to be good, but now it‘s gone!”
Connie‘s voice became sharp. “Who‘s causing trouble? Who made our life like this? It‘s your son who not only went against you but also tried to divide the property with you. If he hadn‘t taken away most of the company‘s working capital, how could the K.G. Software Company become like this?”
Daniel Morgan frowned with a dejected look on his face.
At that moment, William spoke. “I have nothing to do with him right now!” Daniel Morgan lowered his head in silence. Connie gave him a push, her expression full of disgust. “Why are you so useless?” After that, she rushed to William while shouting. “William, I‘ll fight you to the death!” William saw that Connie was charging toward him. William avoided with a flash and Connie crashed into the long dining table behind William!
All of a sudden, the delicious food and dishes on the table were pushed to the ground, and the ground was a mess. Connie was also hit hard, covering her stomach and howling. “Mom!” Seeing this, Emma immediately ran over.
“I‘m fine, I‘m fine.” After all, Connie was old and she couldn‘t even get up.
As soon as Emma saw her mother in such a mess, she picked up the cake and dishes on the long table and threw them at William like crazy!
“William, go to hell!”
The originally luxurious and orderly banquet had now turned into a farce. Everyone was surrounding them, William‘s body flashed to the left and to the right, but none of the plates and pastries had hit him.
At this time, the organizer came over with a group of people, followed by several security guards.
The person in charge glanced at the row of mess on the ground and said to Connie and her daughter in a tough tone, “Ladies, you have severely disturbed the order of the banquet. Please leave immediately!”
Connie immediately pointed at William. “He was the one who started the fight. You guys should let himn leave!”
William smiled laintly and put his arm around his girlfriend‘s shoulder. “I was this lady who poured red wine on my girlfriend‘s face first. You can check the surveillance video to distinguish who was wrong But I don‘t want to argue with people like you who are very bad. I want to go back with my girilend to change clothes We‘ll go firs!!”
Aller that, Williarnlell with his girlfriend in his arms
“Ladies, please leave!”
The security guards began to expel Connie and her husband
CHERY 441
Then, the staff began to clean up the mess on the scene. The banquet went on, whereas Daniel Morgan and Connie were soon forgotten. But when I saw this scene, I couldn‘t calm down for a long time. Today‘s scene was very similar to what I had experienced many years ago. It was just that Ryan had been replaced by Daniel Morgan, and I had been replaced by William.
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 444
Bella‘s POV: I remembered that my grandfather was seriously ill, so I went to visit him. We happened to meet Ryan and Connie. We had a dispute, and Ryan slapped me directly to the ground. Tused all my strength to fight back, but I was no match for them at that time.
Today, William wasn‘t hurt at all. On the contrary, he had taught both of them a lesson.
First of all, William was a man, and he was very strong.
Secondly, William had started his own business. It was said that he had been in good shape recently
In terms of strength and economy, this man was relatively strong. That was why he could successfully fight back. But I didn‘t have strong strength or a lot of money back then.
I was bullied badly, so I could only hide in the corner and shed tears.
Therefore, if I wanted others not to bully me, I could only make myself stronger. “Dear, what are you thinking about?” An arm suddenly wrapped around my shoulder. I looked up and saw Herbert standing in front of me, holding a white crystal trophy in his hand.
“What‘s this?” I stared at the trophy in his hand and asked.
Seeing my confused eyes, Herbert flicked my forehead with his fingers and said, “What are you thinking? Didn‘t you see your husband going to the stage to get the award?”
Hearing this, I came to my senses. “Is this the trophy of the top ten business elites in A City?”
Herbert couldn‘t help but shake his head. “Look at other people‘s wives. They‘re very proud of their husband for getting this trophy, but you didn‘t pay any attention to me at all!”
I knew that I was distracted just now, so I quickly took his arm and tried to please him. “I‘m also very proud! It‘s just that I‘m not surprised that you can get the top 10 business elite award in A City, because you are very powerful. I feel that you can get the national top 10 business elite trophy in the future.”
Herbert said, “There‘s so much pressure all of a sudden.” “Heh heh. Only when there‘s pressure, there‘s motivation” I said with a smile. At this time, I saw a lot of people coming forward to congratulate Herbert. I didn‘t know those people and didn‘t know how to respond, so I said, “I‘m going to the bathroom.”
“I knew you were going to run away” Herbert understood what I was thinking.
“I‘m really going to the bathroom. You can deal with those people.” I winked at Herbert and turned away with a smile,
“Mr. Wharton, congratulations!”
“Mr. Wharton, you are indeed worthy of this award.”
“Mr. Wharton…”
Herbert held the trophy in his hand and dealt with those people with a smile on his face.
I looked at Herbert from a distance and then turned into the emergency passage.
I went to the bathroom and washed my hands. After taking two deep breaths, I went out of the bathroom.
I estimated that it was almost time for Herbert to deal with those people, so I stepped into the banquet hall again.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of me!
I looked up and saw the person clearly. I couldn‘t help but be stunned.
“I‘m sorry. Did I scare you?” The man saw me and immediately apologized.
“Oh, no.” I said, and then my expression became a little unnatural. I reached out and combed the loose hair on my ear, but in my heart, I didn‘t know how to deal with Klein.
I didn‘t want Herbert to misunderstand me, not to mention that he had already had Ella.
I was living a good life now. I didn‘t want any accidents to happen.
But in my heart, I still felt a hint of gratitude and guilt towards Klein.
“The wedding will be held next month?” Klein asked.
“That‘s right.” A forced smile tugged at my lips.
Both of us were silent for two seconds, and then I said with a smile, “I‘m going back…”
Before I could finish my words, Klein grabbed my arm.
“Bella, why are you hiding from me?” Klein asked with a frown.
I lowered my head to look at his hand, which was holding onto my arm. Klein retracted his hand.
At this time, I frowned as I looked at Klein. “Klein, why don‘t you understand? Herbert and I are already husband and wife. After all, we had a relationship before. For the sake of you, for the sake of his feelings, and of course for my own sake, we don‘t need to be in touch for now!”
Klein didn‘t immediately respond to me. Seeing that he was grabbing onto his hair, I felt a bit dispirited
After another few dozen seconds, he opened his mouth and said, “Bella, why don‘t you think about my feelings? I have to watch my beloved woman marry my cousin. And you two love each other so much. Do you know that my heart is as painful as being cut by a knife?”
Klein‘s hand stroked his chest, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, and his eyes were filled with pain
I didn‘t expect him to still like me after so long.
I thought that even if he hadn‘t completely let it go, he should have hidden his emotions, but I didn‘t expect him to express his feelings today
I felt a lot of pressure His feelings for me touched me a little, but I didn‘t like him. Even if I didn‘t reunite with Herbert, ! might not be able to be with him
I even sympathized with him, but I still had to tell him that there was no possibility between him and me.
And then, I looked at him “Klein, I‘m already married My husband is Herbert
“Bella, can it be that all these years, you don‘t have any feelings for me at all? Have you ever fallen in love with me at all?” When Klein said these words, his face was filled with pain.
My feelings for Klein were more like that of a friend.
That was not love, perhaps it had never been.
Klein was the benefactor in my life. Without him, perhaps I wouldn‘t have been able to survive until now, but that sort of relationship had nothing to do with love. He was also a very excellent person. I admired him and trusted him.
But it was only limited to friends.
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 445
Bella‘s POV:
“Klein, what‘s the point of saying these things again? Right now, I‘m very happy with Herbert, and you‘ve got Ella as well.”
“I don‘t like Ella at all.” Klein roared loudly, his beautiful eyes bloodshot.
I stared at klein in shock. “Klein, in my heart, you are someone who is responsible.”
Klein pressed his hand against a nearby wall. After a long while, he said, “As long as I‘m not with you, it‘s almost the same for me to be with any other woman.”
Klein‘s voice sounded hoarse, and his eyes were staring at me.
I didn‘t dare to look straight into his eyes.
The affection in his eyes was too strong. I couldn‘t respond to him, and I didn‘t want to be involved.
I heard him say, “Maybe it‘s for benefits, maybe it‘s for life, but I can‘t fall in love with anyone else. Bella…”
“…” I opened my mouth but didn‘t know what to say.
“As long as you are very happy right now, that‘s enough. I don‘t have any other intentions. It‘s just that during this period of time, I‘ve been very concerned about you.” Klein said.
I looked at him, frowned, and said, “Don‘t like me anymore. I will live a good life.”
Hearing these words, Klein was a little agitated. He stretched out his hand and grabbed my shoulder. “Don‘t be so cruel, okay? I don‘t want to destroy you and Herbert. I just want to miss you in my heart and love you. Can‘t I?”
“Klein…” I felt as though he had gone insane.
There was no result at all. What was the use of liking this person in his heart?
I was already married. I had already made my stand clear. Why did he have to tell me all this?
In order to let me know his love for me?
But so what if I knew?
Or he didn‘t want me to marry someone else?
So what?
No matter what his purpose was, it was impossible between me and him.
Thad some sympathy for hirn, but when he pestered me, I was not very happy.
We were all adults, and there was no need for us to continue to be entangled with each other.
At this moment, the door to the exit of the banquet hall was pushed open!
Two people came out of the door. The person in front was Herbert, who was wearing a black suit, and Herbert was followed by Ella,
Herbert was looking at me
But at this moment, Klein‘s hands were still gripping my shoulders. The expression on his lace had become very ugly
“Klein,
you are.” At this moment. Ella suddenly began to shout loudly
Heaning the sound, both klein and simultaneously tumed to look in the direction of the sound.
Klein and Ella stood less than tenmeters away lionme My heart was alled with panic, and I instinctively pushed Klein‘s hand away, then look a step back
As for Klein, he was very calm, but he still withdrew his hand,
Seeing the lock in Herbert‘s eyes, I slowly walked over I was very confused I didn‘t know if he would have any wild thoughts
Ella looked at me and asked, “Bella, why are you and Klein here? Mi Wharton and I have been searching for both of you for a long time, but we haven‘t found you two.”
At this moment, I was looking at the expression on Ella‘s face, looking very innocent and surprised.
Of course, I knew that she was deliberately exaggerating what had happened today. Ella must have some opinion on me
Especially after I heard what klein said to me today
Perhaps in her mind, I would forever be a thorn between her and Klein
However, I didn‘t cower. Instead, I straightened my back and replied, “I went to the washroom. When T returned, I happened to run into klein. Thus, after chatting a few words with him, you guys happened to be here.”
My words were directed at Ella, while my eyes were fixed on Herbert, I was explaining to him.
I didn‘t care what others thought
I only hoped that he wouldn‘t misunderstand me
“Coincidentally? What a coincidence It‘s just a few words. He didn‘t need to hold your shoulder, did you? Bella, you‘re Herbert‘s fiancee Why do you have to be so intimate with Klein in the bathroom? The words Ella said became less pleasant to listen to.
At this moment, I really wanted to curse. She was obviously slandering klein and me
“Have you said enough? You can shut your mouth now!” Klein walked up to Ella, his face extremely ugly
“What I‘m saying is the truth, Could it be that I‘m wrong?” Ella‘s eyes were sharp as she stared at Klein
Klein‘s eyebrows were already tightly locked together.
At this moment, Herbert suddenly turned his head and said to Ella, “Ella, if there is any conflict between you and Klein, you can go home and solve it Don‘t drag innocent people in!”
Hearing these words, Ella couldn‘t help but laugh coldly “Mr. Wharton, you really are the most well mannered person I‘ve ever seen Your wife wants to date someone else, but you aren‘t angry at all! really don‘t know if you‘re a man or not!”
I didn‘t even dare to believe my ears. How could these words come out of Ella‘s mouth?
As far as I could remember, Ella was a beautiful and generous woman who only know about work But today she was actually slandering Klein and me like this I felt that Ella had changed, and even her appearance had become abnormally mean I looked up at Herbert, leeling a little nervous I didn‘t know if he would be angry because of what 11:151 Ella had said. To my surprise, Herbert warned her in a stern voice, “You‘re with the top lawyer in A City. I can sue you just because of what you just said! You‘re Klein‘s girlfriend now. I‘ll give you a chance. Remember, if there‘s a next time, I won‘t let you go!” After that, Herbert reached out and grabbed my hand, pulling me towards the gate. Before I could recover my senses after being grabbed, I couldn‘t help following Herbert. When Herbert walked to the gate, he suddenly stopped, I had no time to stop and almost touched his back.
Herbert reached out to help me up, then said to Ella, “I forgot to tell you that I trust my wife very much. She will never do anything to hurt me! I think there is a lack of basic trust between you and Klein. Just by a few words from him, you can tell that they are having an affair. The one with a problem is you!”
At this moment, Ella‘s face was very ugly.
In the end, Herbert turned to look at Klein. “Klein, as your cousin, I would like to advise you to change your girlfriend.”
After that, Herbert pulled me away.
When I returned to the banquet hall, I looked back and saw the complicated look in Klein‘s eyes, and the look on Ella‘s face was very painful and sad.
All of a sudden, I was in a very good mood!
I raised my eyes and stole a glance at Herbert. I felt that he was really handsome and cool. I was more and more obsessed with him.
Back in the banquet hall, I went to the long dining table, reached out to take a plate, and then picked up a piece of tiramisu. Then I lowered my head and ate it!
After taking a few bites, I raised my head to look at Herbert and said with a smile, “The taste of this tiramisu is very authentic. Would you like to have a piece?” Herbert frowned and then said, “You‘re still in the mood to eat cake. Do you want me to explain what happened just now?”
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 446
Bella‘s POV: I swallowed the cake in my mouth and licked my lips with my tongue. Then I said with a flattering smile, “Didn‘t you say you trusted me? Do I need to explain?”
Herbert said seriously, “Ella is obviously trying to provoke a conflict. How could I fall into her trap?”
Hearing this, I couldn‘t help but smile. I stepped forward and gave a thumbs–up to Herbert. “You‘re really a very wise man.”
“Hurry up and tell me. Just now, you and Klein…what‘s going on?” As he spoke, he clearly lowered his voice, then looked around. Only when he saw that there was no third person within two meters of them, did he feel at ease.
Seeing him like this, I wanted to laugh, but I didn‘t dare.
This man loved to get jealous the most.
Although he did mind it very much, he chose to believe me just now in front of others.
I was very happy. At this moment, all I could do was to coax him. I didn‘t want to argue with him over Klein. Therefore, I stepped forward, took his arm, and said with a smile, “Can I explain it to you when I get back?”
Hearing this, the look on Herbert‘s face changed. He nodded and said, “That‘s more like it!”
Right at this moment, I raised my head. Suddenly, I saw Klein enter the banquet hall. His face was very solemn, and he walked quickly towards the exit.
Behind Klein was Ella. She had an anxious look on her face, and her face didn‘t look very good.
Because she was wearing high heels, she couldn‘t catch up to Klein‘s footsteps. She could only carry her dress as she trotted, but she was too tall and too thin. She almost fell down a few times.
Seeing Ella disappear at the entrance of the banquet hall, I couldn‘t help shaking my head.
Ella used to be beautiful, graceful, capable, and bold. But Klein was her weak spot. For the sake of Klein, she had changed her personality.
“Why are you shaking your head?” Herbert looked down at me and asked.
I looked up at Herbert and replied, “Ella is not worthy of Klein.”
“Who is worthy of him then?” Herbert asked after a silence of two seconds.
Seeing his deep eyes, I couldn‘t help but touch his arm. “What are you thinking? There are many people who is worthy of him him, but only I am worthy of you!”
Hearing this, Herbert immediately curled his lips and smiled. “You‘re the only one who dares to speak like this!”
“Am I wrong?” I raised my head and giggled at him,
“It should be said that you are the only person I like.” Herbert reached out his hand to pull me to him and tidied up the loose hair around my ear.
Feeling the touch of his fingertips and seeing his doting and sweet eyes, although I was very happy. I
still smiled and whispered, “We‘d better not be too intimate, okay? Today is a banquet held by the government, and all the big shots in the business world are here!”
I could feel that everyone was looking at me. I was a little shy and my face was a little hot.
But Herbert said, “There‘s no rule in this banquet that no one is allowed to show off their love.”
VO
At this time, Herbert took my hand and said as he walked, “There are several friends from the business circle who want to meet you.” Hearing that someone wanted to know me, I frowned and said, “No, I don‘t want to have social relationships with people I don‘t know now.”
In fact, it was not that I didn‘t want to make new friends.
It was because, on this occasion, I had to keep my smile when I got to know new friends. My face was almost stiff today from smiling.
“What‘s wrong? Are you shy?” Herbert asked with a smile. “So annoying…”
While I was talking to him, I followed Herbert to meet those friends. It didn‘t take long for the banquet to end.
Connor drove the car out of the hotel with me and Herbert.
On the way, the traffic ahead was suddenly blocked.
Herbert looked ahead and asked, “Why is there a traffic jam at this time?”
He lowered his head and looked at the watch on his wrist. It was already past ten o‘clock.
Connor in front replied, “There‘s a building in front of us that‘s on fire. The firefighters are currently putting out the fire in front of us, so there‘s a traffic jam.”
Hearing this, Herbert frowned and said, “It‘ll probably be blocked for a while.”
I looked out of the window inadvertently and suddenly saw two people quarreling on the side of the road.
I was stunned when I saw the two people quarreling!
“What‘s wrong?” Seeing me staring out of the window in a daze, Herbert followed my gaze and looked out of the window in confusion.
The road was only five or six meters away from the car. In addition, the street lights were very bright, so we could see the two quarreling people clearly.
“Daniel Morgan is quarreling with Connie,” I replied flatly.
At this time, Herbert rolled down the car window, and the sound of Daniel Morgan‘s and Connie‘s quarrel was also heard in the car
Third Person POV
“Daniel Morgan, I didn‘t expect you to be such a cowardly man. I was hit but you didn‘t dare to respond. And that man who hit me was your son! You really make me sad!” Connie raised her voice and questioned hirm.
“It‘s you who caused trouble first. It was a decent party lodny. Have you forgotten what we‘re supposed to do? We‘re supposed to look for people in the business world to help us, but what you did really made me embarassed!” Connie became even angrier. She pointed at Daniel Morgan and cursed, “You‘re still blaming us? You‘re the one who‘s incapable. You can‘t let me and my daughter live a good life!
Hearing this, Daniel Morgan said with annoyance, “Since you married me, how have I treated you and your daughter? I‘m responsible for all your expenses. You can do whatever you want in my company. What else do you want? The company is in such a mess now, and you‘re responsible for
At this time, Emma, who was standing behind Connie, immediately stepped forward and said, ‘Old man, it‘s obvious that you are incapable and can‘t control your son. You can‘t run the company well, but you blame us in the end!” Seeing that even Emma was pointing at him and cursing, Daniel Morgan took two steps back regretfully and said, ‘Although you haven‘t been in my house for a long time, I took you as my biological daughter. How dare you scold me? It seems that what others said is right. It‘s you who caused me to lose everything.” “It‘s your own fault. What does it have to do with us? Then, Emma took Connie‘s hand and said, “Mom, let‘s go! This old man is going to go bankrupt soon. We can‘t wait for death with him.‘ Seeing that Connie was looking at him with hatred, Daniel Morgan‘s face was full of grief and indignation. He shook his head and said, “Connie, you and I are still a legal couple. Even if I go bankrupt, you won‘t have a good life. Even if I die, you have to be a widow!” Hearing this, Connie sneered and said, “You‘ll bankrupt but I‘ll continue to live the same life as before. Even if you die now, I‘ll be free. I can still find someone else. Do you think I‘ll hang myself on a tree for you? “You Daniel Morgan was so angry that he covered his chest with his hands Connie, on the other hand, snorted coldly. “Hmph!” Then she left with Emma.
On the other hand, Daniel Morgan let out a long sigh, and then sat down on the ground on the street regardless of his image
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 447
Bella‘s POV:
I could almost feel Daniel Morgan‘s emotions when I saw how sad and angry he was.
Maybe it was the same scene when Emma and Connie got rid of Ryan that day.
It was hard to imagine that when those who used to be so good to them were no longer useful to them, they would be so ruthless to kick them away.
However, Daniel Morgan and Ryan were not innocent. They abandoned their original wives and families and chose to believe in a woman like Connie, who was like a viper.
Therefore, he was not worthy of sympathy.
At this time, Herbert‘s voice sounded in my ear. “What‘s wrong? Do you feel that he‘s very pitiful?”
I thought for a moment and said, “He‘s indeed pitiful, but he is responsible for all that happened.”
Herbert lowered his head. “K.G. Software Company will definitely go bankrupt. It‘s estimated that not only will Daniel Morgan lose K.G. Software Company, but he‘ll also have to pay a huge debt. I don’t know how this farce will end.”
“No matter how it ends, there‘s definitely no good outcome for K.G. Software Company. This time, Connie and her daughter will definitely leave him. They‘ll probably find another big tree that they can rely on again.” I shook my head. “They won‘t be able to get away so easily,” Herbert suddenly said.
Hearing that, I asked in confusion, “What do you mean?”
A cold smile tugged at the corner of Herbert‘s lips. “Connie and Daniel Morgan are legally married couple. Daniel Morgan‘s bankruptcy will naturally affect her. As far as I know, Connie and Emma are in charge of many major project under the K.G. Software Company. That is to say, after the K.G. Software Company goes bankrupt, they will also have huge debts on them. Unless Daniel Morgan takes all the debts and divorces her, they won‘t be able to get rid of everything.”
Hearing this, I felt much better. “They caused it themselves. It‘s not others‘ fault.”
Not long after, the traffic in front began to flow smoothly, and the car began to move forward slowly. I felt a little tired, so I put my head on Herbert‘s shoulder, clasped my right hand with his left hand, and said with a smile, “See what happens to Daniel Morgan? Don‘t be like him in the future.”
“Don‘t worry. Daniel Morgan‘s taste is too strong. I don‘t like that kind of woman. I want a better woman.” Herbert teased with a smile.
Hearing this, I reached out and grabbed Herbert‘s ear. I pinched him hard and said, “What did you say? Say it again.”
Herbert hurriedly said, “Tigress, I won‘t dare to say it again in the future.”
“Who is the tigress?” Hearing this word, I asked angrily
The next second, he stretched out his arms and held me tightly in front of his chest “Let go of me” | glanced at the driver in front of me and said in a low voice “No!” Herbert suddenly acted like a spoiled child
Instead of letting go, he lifted me up. He looked at me and said, “Although you are a tigress, you are very cute. I like it!”
I couldn‘t help laughing, His head was buried in my chest, and he hugged me like a child. I could clearly feel the warmth of his body and felt happy in my heart.
“We‘re almost home,” I whispered into his ear and gently pushed his hand away.
At this time, he whispered in my ear in a hoarse voice, “I really miss the bed at home.”
“You‘re so annoying!” Hearing this, I smiled and hit him. After returning to the villa, I found that both Lucas and Lucky had fallen asleep. Herbert and I took a happy look at them and went upstairs. Late at night, I took a shower. As soon as I walked to the bed in my pajamas, my wrist was pulled by the hand of the person leaning on the bed!
“Alas…” I fell into the arms of a man in a night robe.
The robe draped loosely over his shoulders. Without any tie, eight perfect muscles were exposed in front of me
I shyly put my face in front of his flexible chest and said softly, “Why haven‘t you slept yet?”
I‘m waiting for you,” Herbert replied, I pursed my lips into a smile and was about to say something.
Herbert continued, “Tell me what happened at the banquet today.”
I couldn‘t help laughing. I thought he had forgotten about it, but he still remembered it. I was a little nervous. After all, this was a sensitive topic. Herbert stared at me, his face very serious. “I want to know what happened between you and Klein today Tell me!”
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 448
Bella‘s POV:
I had to get rid of the doubts in Herbert‘s heart as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would definitely remember this all the time.
Then, I placed my hands on Herbert‘s shoulders and said with a serious expression, “I went to the bathroom. When I came out of the bathroom, I met klein. After all, he was… an old friend, so I
greeted him.”
“Since it‘s just a greeting, why did he put his hand on your shoulder?” Obviously, Herbert was very dissatisfied with my explanation.
I went on to say, “After greeting him, we just chatted for a while. He said that he wished us good luck. Of course, I… I also wished him and Ella all the best. But when it came to Ella, he was a little agitated. He said that he and Ella were not compatible and that they were just getting along with each other. I advised him to take the relationship seriously. If it is suitable, they should continue to get along with each other. If it is not suitable, they should end it as soon as possible. So at this time, he was agitated. I don‘t know why he put his hand on my shoulder.”
When I said this, my heart was beating fast. I didn‘t know if Herbert would believe me, so I looked up and glanced at him secretly.
It didn‘t matter if I stole a glance at him. I found that his eyes were staring at me sharply, like a ferocious eagle staring at its prey.
I was so scared that I quickly lowered my head.
As expected, Herbert asked, “Since there‘s nothing wrong, why are you so nervous now that you don‘t even dare to look me in the eye?”
Hearing this, I could only brace myself to raise my head and look into Herbert‘s eyes. “Who… who
said that I wouldn‘t dare to look into your eyes? I‘m a little nervous, but I‘m afraid that you don‘t believe me. I… I care too much about you. I‘m afraid that you‘ll misunderstand me!”
As I spoke, I pouted and lowered my head, placing a pair of small hands on his chest. Herbert reached out to hold my chin and lifted my face. “Who said that I don‘t trust you? Just explain it to me seriously. If I don‘t trust you, I won‘t speak for you at the banquet,” Herbert said with a deep look in his eyes. Hearing this, I said happily, “Really?”
Herbert then said very self–satisfiedly, “Except for me, you don‘t like other men. I still have this little confidence.” I couldn‘t help giving him a push. “How can you be so proud?”
Herbert reached out and held me in his arms. He said in an overbearing manner, “Because no one is more suitable for you than me!”
“How do you know?” I looked at him. Herbert raised his eyebrows and then whispered in my ear, “Because I know your depth.”
Hearing this, I saw the evil smile on Herbert‘s face.
I instantly understood what he meant, so I pushed him with shame and annoyance, then got up and 11:17 was about to leave. “You are so dirty!”
My wrist was caught in an instant, and then I was pulled by the person behind me. I fell into his
arms.
“What are you doing?” I shouted in a low voice. The person who had trapped me chuckled. “You know what I want to do.” “Let me go!” I struggled.
“Do you want to resist?” Although he was talking, his hand did not stop.
“I hate you…” Gradually, my voice became softer and softer and finally disappeared in the deep night.
It was yet another restless night.
When I was in bed with Herbert, I was always the one who was suppressed.
I was not convinced by this.
So tonight, I turned over and pressed Herbert under me.
Herbert was very excited. He was willing to cooperate with me. But I didn‘t hold on for long. Soon, I was too tired and lay down.
However, Herbert was not satisfied. He pressed me under his body again. “It‘s over? Baby, you really need to do more exercise. For me, it‘s just a beginning.”
What? It was just the beginning?
My husband‘s physical strength was too good. Sometimes, it was not a pleasant thing.
“I don‘t want it anymore. I want to rest…” I shouted and pulled the quilt over to cover my body.
But it was useless.
Herbert threw the quilt aside.
In the beginning, I resisted it, but Herbert‘s skills were amazing.
Even though I was very tired, soon, my desire was aroused by him again. I wrapped my arms around his neck again, although I was very tired…
The next morning, we sat at the dining table for breakfast.
Lucky refused to eat breakfast obediently and insisted that I feed her.
She sat on my lap and I fed her bite by bite.
Lucas took big bites of the food on the other side of the table, and Herbert was reading the newspaper while eating.
At this time, Miranda handed a stack of newspapers to Herbert. “Sir, the morning newspaper is here.”
“Okay.‘ Herbert nodded.
Herbert picked up the newspaper and slipped through it casually. Suddenly, his hand froze, and he looked at the newspaper in his hand, unable to hide his surprise
“What‘s wrong?” Seeing the change in Herbert‘s expression, I frowned and asked,
Herbert lowered his head and looked at the newspaper in his hand a few more times. Then, he
folded the newspaper and handed it to me. He replied, “Last night, Daniel Morgan committed suicide by jumping off a building.”
Hearing this, I couldn‘t help but be stunned!
“Jumped off a building? How is that possible?” I was surprised for a long time before I could say something like that.
Last night, I still saw Daniel Morgan and Connie quarrel. Although he was not a good person, he was still a living person. How could he disappear from this world so quickly?
I stood up and handed Lucky to Gary. He took her and continued to feed her.
I sat down, took the newspaper, opened it, and read it carefully. Sure enough, almost half of the page in the newspaper was used to report the news of Daniel Morgan‘s suicide, and a photo of a body covered with white cloth was published.
At this time, Herbert said, “In fact, it‘s not surprising. He was a big shot in the first half of his life. How could he bear the difference of falling from the sky to the ground? Not only did he lose his company, but he also had a huge debt, and his family was gone. Even his son didn‘t recognize him. There is no hope for him!”
At this moment, I was silent. “Don‘t Ryan have the same fate as Daniel Morgan? It‘s just that Ryan has never been rich and has always been a nobody, so he won‘t feel that there is a big gap.”
It seemed that if I didn‘t give Ryan the money when came to the company last time, maybe he would choose the same road. In this way, it seemed that Herbert saved Ryan‘s life by giving him money at that time.
Although I didn‘t have any feelings for Ryan, if he was dead now, I really wouldn‘t feel good.
And if Ryan was dead, it would probably be my mother and I to hold a funeral for him.
Ever since my grandfather passed away, my eldest uncle was no longer willing to interact with Ryan. There was really no one in the world who would hold a funeral for him.
“What‘s wrong? Did Danial Morgan‘s death scare you?”
Herbert‘s voice brought my thoughts back to reality.
“No, I just feel that it‘s too sudden.”
After a moment of silence, Herbert said, “Are you full? You should prepare to leave.”
I put on my coat silently, picked up my bag, and said to Lucas, who was still eating, with a smile, “Come on, eat quickly. When you‘re full, I‘ll ask Miranda to take you to kindergarten.” ‘Got it Lucas nodded.
Out of the villa, I suddenly grabbed Herbert‘s arm. I wanted to say something but stopped on second thought
“What‘s wrong?” Herbert saw my unnatural look.
“Did Ryan look for you again?” I asked.
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 449
Bella‘s POV: “Why do you suddenly want to ask this?” Seeing that Herbert‘s attitude was a little suspicious, I said very seriously, “You have to tell the truth. Don‘t lie to me!”
Herbert looked at me and said, “In fact, there‘s nothing to lie about. He came to me twice again.”
Hearing that Ryan really went to find Herbert, I asked anxiously, “How much did you give him?” “Not much. I gave you 1,500 dollars at a time. 3,000 dollars in total.” Herbert answered truthfully. Hearing this, I couldn‘t help but feel a little anxious. “You gave him 1,500 dollars last time, but it‘s
only been a few days before you gave him another 3,000 dollars. He will be more and more greedy. Maybe he will ask you for 15,000 dollars or even 150,000 dollars!”
Herbert reached out and touched my face. “Now you only care about me. You‘re afraid that I‘ll spend more money, aren‘t you?”
Hearing this, I couldn‘t help but pull his hand down. “I’m serious. Don‘t joke around.”
Herbert grabbed my hand and said, “Don‘t worry. I know what I‘m doing. I‘ve seen so many people in the business world for so many years.”
“You‘ve never seen someone as shameless as Ryan.” I snorted.
Herbert said, “He was homeless a while ago, so he recently rented a house. You know that the rent in A City is very expensive now, and he has to give some deposit to the landlord, so the 1,500 dollars is just enough for him to rent a house. After he rented a house, he has to buy some furniture, electrical appliances, and so on. These all need money.”
“I‘m sorry. I‘m just a little afraid that he will cling to you in the future.” Hearing this, I also felt that what Herbert said was reasonable, so my voice softened.
“I know. You‘re worried that I‘ll spend more money. You care about me and like me. I‘m very happy.” Herbert teased.
“Don‘t give him any more money in the future,” I said as I was still worried.
“I understand. Now that he has rented a house and bought some daily necessities, I will only give him 700 dollars every month in the future, which is enough for him to live, but I won‘t let him splurge,” said Herbert.
“Mm.” I nodded, and then I said unwillingly, “Well, in fact, I have always wanted to distance myself from him for so many years, but he has been living with my mother, my sister, and me for so many years. I can‘t get rid of him. Now he even wants to ask for money from you often. My previous persistence has turned into bubbles, but it seems that I have no choice.”
Herbert consoled me. “Although you don‘t want to admit it, he has a blood relationship with you after all. This is a fact that can never be changed. If you force him to a dead end, just like today‘s accident, I know that you will feel uneasy for the rest of your life. I just need to spend a little money so you won‘t have to feel sad at that time.”
At this moment, I was very touched and very happy when I looked at Herbert‘s eyes. I was moved by everything he had done for me. I was glad that he really understood me.
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 149
What‘s more, I did think so just now.
“Thank you.” I was moved, but in the end, I only said these two words.
Herbert shook my shoulder and said, “Remember, we are husband and wife, and we are a family. This is naturally what I should do.”
A family… I felt very warm in my heart.
Connor drove the car to the building where I went to work.
Before getting out of the car, Herbert took my hand and said, “Let‘s have lunch together at noon?”
“I‘m okay with it if it‘s your treat.” I rolled my eyes and said.
Herbert laughed. “There‘s a good restaurant nearby. I‘ve already owed the boss a lot of money. Let‘s have another meal at noon today.”
I knew that he was joking. With his wealth, he could even buy a restaurant.
“I don‘t have an opinion. Anyway, it‘s you who owes the money.” I chuckled and got out of the car.
I got out of the car and went straight into the building.
As soon as I entered the building, I quickly moved to the side, and secretly stood at the glass door and looked out.
As I had expected, at this time, Herbert‘s car slowly drove into the lane.
This was exactly what his way of doing. He had to wait until he saw me enter the building, and only then would he have Connor drive the car away.
I watched as his car drove further and further away.
It was clear that we had just parted ways, but I had already begun to miss him.
But we could continue to meet after work.
This kind of life was so good.
I really hoped that I could live happily with him all the time.
I hoped there wouldn‘t be any changes in my life. I hoped the children could grow up healthy, and I hoped that I could grow old with Herbert. When we were old, we would sit on the rocking chairs and watch the sunrise and sunset together.
It was just a fantasy, but it felt like a wonderful thing.
As soon as I stepped into the office, Joey held my hand and kept nagging. “Have you heard? Daniel Morgan jumped off the building last night!”
I walked into my office and nodded. “I‘ve already heard of the big news.”
Joey sighed and said, “It‘s said that he jumped off the roof of the K.G. Software Company. It‘s more than 30 floors. I heard that his brain had splattered everywhere.”
Hearing this, I covered my chest and said, “It‘s early in the morning. Don‘t disgust me, okay?”
“But he is not pitiful. After all, he is so heartless to his ex wife and his son. This is retribution!” Joey said.
“Well, he has been punished. Don‘t mention it anymore.” I sat on the desk. I didn‘t want to hear any more news about Daniel Morgan as I felt a little upset
Joey turned around and sat opposite me. “Okay,” she said with a smile. “Then let‘s not talk about
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 149
11:48 ) Daniel Morgan, Hey, what do you think will happen to Connie and her daughter if he dies?” “Their good days are coming to an end,” I replied.
Joey crossed her arms in front of her chest, thought for a moment, and said, “I don‘t think they will suffer too much. Think about it. During the period of Connie‘s stay with Daniel Morgan, she must have saved some money, right? Even if she doesn‘t have much cash, there should be a lot of jewelry, diamonds, luxury bags, and clothes. These are enough for them to spend a long time.” Hearing that, I thought, “Connie won‘t let herself suffer a loss. I just didn‘t expect that she would become a widow after Daniel Morgan died last night. I didn‘t expect that it would become a reality after just one night.”
Bride of Mr. Billion Chapter 450
Bella‘s POV
When it was almost noon, I suddenly received a call from Herbert
Seeing that it was his call, I immediately picked it up with a smile. “Mr. Wharton, I wonder which restaurant you‘re at now? You don‘t have to pick me up. I can go by myself.”
I didn‘t know why, but now that I couldn‘t see him for a long time, I missed him very much
I felt that I was more and more dependent on him in our relationship. I wanted to be with him every day, but he needed work and I had to work hard for my career. Otherwise, I really wanted to be with him 24 hours a day.
But this time, he said in a serious tone, “Bella, I‘m sorry. I have something to do at the last minute. ! cant have lunch with you at noon today.”
Hearing this, although I was very disappointed, I also knew that it was not his intention.
The next moment, I played the role of a reasonable wife. “Work is more important, and you‘re engaged in social activities. I‘ll be very considerate to you.”
After a moment of silence, he said warmly, “You are more important than work. What happened today has nothing to do with work.”
“What are you going to do at noon?” At this time, I asked in confusion.
Herbert then replied, “William will bury Daniel Morgan‘s corpse and carry out the funeral. After all, Daniel Morgan is considered number one in the business world of A City. In addition, K.G. Software Company is an old customer of the Wharton Group. That‘s why several business friends want to pay their respect. The funeral home is in the suburbs, and I definitely won‘t be able to make it back at noon.”
Hearing this, my hand, which was holding my phone, froze, and I had mixed feelings in my heart.
William still buried his father‘s corpse.”
When I thought of Ryan‘s sudden death, although I was very reluctant, I would bury his body and hold his funeral
The father and son used to have a good relationship, but since William‘s mother passed away, the two of the gradually drifted away In fact, there is still a deep relationship between them, so their situation is different from yours and Ryan‘s.’ Herbert soon understood what I was thinking
I realized that he really knew me better and better. He knew everything “Viell, go ahead. I’ll have lunch with Joey” I was a little depressed and quickly hung up the phone
At noon, I saw that it was almost lime, so I opened the door and went out of my office
As soon as I opened the door, I suddenly saw Joey looking at a bag in a daze When she saw me cofring out, she immediately hid it under the table
I could help but feel strange Joey and I were almost wearing the same pair of pants She knew almost everything about me and Herbert‘s life in bed there was no need to hide anything from me
The next moment, I walked up to Joey and asked her with a stern face, ‘What were you buding just now?
“What… what did I hide?” Joey stammered.
I took a closer look at Joey and found that her face was flushed red as if someone had pulled her little braid. I couldn‘t help but feel more suspicious.
“What did you hide under the table just now?” I bent down and reached for the bag under the table.
Joey stopped her. “Stop it… What can I hide?”
“I‘ve already seen it, yet you‘re still lying.” This was the first time I had seen Joey like this, and I thought that something must be off.
At this time, when Joey saw me, she made up her mind and took the bag under the table to the desk. “Take a look. You‘re so curious!”
I took a look at Joey, then I took the bag and looked inside. It was a black shirt.
The next moment, I took out the clothes from the bag in confusion. When I opened it, I saw that it was a man‘s pants and a price tag. Seeing the price on it, I couldn‘t help frowning.
“Did you buy this?” I asked, holding the pants.
“Yes.” Joey nodded.
At this time, I couldn‘t help but ask in surprise, “You don‘t have a husband or a boyfriend. Who do you buy pants for? Your brother is the only one closest to you, but you have no contact with him now. You won‘t spend more than a hundred dollars to buy a pair of pants for him.”
“Can‘t I buy it for my male friend?” Joey put her arms in front of her chest, looking like a dead mouse that felt no cold.
“A male friend? What‘s his surname? Where does he live? Where does he work? Do I know him?” | asked a series of questions in one breath.
Seeing that she really couldn‘t take it, Joey had no choice but to say, “Sigh, didn‘t I accidentally knock the coffee over Connor‘s pants last time? That pair of pants is very expensive, and I‘ve always felt uneasy, so I just wanted to buy a pair of pants to compensate him. It‘s not as complicated as you think.”
Hearing this, I was silent for a moment, and then I kept staring at Joey.
“Hey, why are you looking at me like that?” Joey‘s eyes flashed.
Then, I looked at Joey and teased her. “I don‘t think that‘s right. This isn‘t your usual style. Tell me, do you have a good impression of him?”
At this time, Joey‘s face turned red!
“You‘re blushing. I guessed right!” | pointed to Joey and said.
“If you keep talking nonsense, I‘ll be angry. All right, all right. It‘s past 12 o‘clock. I‘m starving to death. Let‘s go for lunch.” In the end, Joey pulled me and left.
I understood Joey too well. I had guessed what was on her mind. Otherwise, she wouldn‘t be blushing, and she wouldn‘t have changed the topic so quickly. Besides, she invited me to have a big meal very generously today, so I was more convinced of my guess.
I began to feel a bit worried for Joey. Last time, I was the one who had matched Connor with Joey. Although Joey didn‘t know anything about it, Connor had said that he didn‘t have any feelings for Joey, which was why he didn‘t bring it up again.
Right now, Joey really wanted to fall in love with Connor, but Connor didn‘t like her.
Joey would definitely be sad, so I was a little sad. What should I do to keep Joey from being hurt?
