Only after saying no, he realized that he had been fooled and turned around sharply, and sure enough, the photo under his arm had been taken by Kevin.
Alvin had never seen him with such a heavy expression before, and couldn’t help but worryingly reassure, “Don’t think too much. They might just be friends.”
“Go find out what relationship this man has with her.”
Kevin tossed the photo to him and headed to his office without turning back, and when he reached the door, he turned back to remind, “Report back to me accurately without any concealment.”
“Yes…”
Alvin nodded. He was so miserable that he was betrayed by a woman and cheated by another woman…
At four o’clock that afternoon, he checked out the relationship between Richard’s family and Bella, and after hesitating and struggling for a long time, he finally knocked on the door of the president’s office.
It was a bit cruel, but it was his job.
“Go ahead, don’t worry.”
Kevin seemed to be mentally prepared. He looked so chilling.
“The man in the photo is Braxton, the son of Richard, a wealthy tycoon in T City who made his fortune from loan sharks. Ten years ago, Richard bought a daughter-in-law for his son with 100, 000 dollars. That daughter-in-law is your current wife, Bella. But for some unknown reason, they have never married. Recently, Richard has been in frequent contact with Mrs. Jones-Sharp. Occasionally there will be verbal arguments…”
“Do you have a picture of Richard?”
Kevin interrupted him and inquired gloomily.
“Yes.”
Alvin opened the folder at hand and pulled out a family portrait from it, “This is Richard, and this is his wife, and this is his son, Braxton…”
Kevin’s face fell, and the photo was crumpled into a ball.
“Mr. Jones-Sharp, are you okay?”
Alvin looked at him a little uneasily.
“Get out and leave me alone.”
“Good.”
When he was out, Kevin walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking half the city outside.
It was dark, and he hadn’t left the office, sitting quietly in his office chair alone. When Bella’s call finally came, “Hello?” He answered.
“Are you off duty yet?”
“No, come to my office for a moment.”
Bella was startled asked searchingly, “What can I do for you?”
“We’ll talk when you come.”
After hanging up the phone, Bella was extremely uneasy, but still came to his office.
The people in the company had already been off duty. A luxurious building was all dark. Only the street lamp by the roadside emitted a bright light, reflecting her thin figure as she hurriedly arrived.
Kevin stood in the darkness, condescendingly looking at her. After Bella took the lift to the ninth floor, standing in front of his office door with a little hesitation, without knocking and directly into the door.
“Why don’t you turn on the lights?”
She asked softly to him standing in front of the window.
The office light was switched on. Kevin had no longer looked chilling but pretended to be gentle, “It’s only when you stand in the dark that you can see things clearly.”
“Do you call me over for something?”
“Nothing, I just feel as if I haven’t cared enough for you lately. By the way, has that your gambler relative been calling on you lately?”
Bella was shocked and shook her head woodenly, “… No, what’s wrong?”
“And do you know this man?”
He handed over a picture of Braxton.
Kevin stared at her darkly. suddenly Bella was desperate, because she had seen everything in his eyes. He knew everything. He had known for a long time. But she had been deceiving herself and telling herself that he didn’t know.
“I don’t know.”
She didn’t know why she’d answered that. One might lose the desire to argue for herself when she was desperate.
SLAP-.
Kevin threw a stack of photos at her feet and declared word by word, “Bella, you have ruined the last chance for me to forgive you.”
Bella closed her eyes in pain, and shed tears. Finally, it was over between them. Finally, she had lost this hard-won love, even though all the efforts she had made were to be better with him.
“Why? Don’t you want to explain it to me? I’ll give you the chance now. You explain.”
Kevin gnashed his teeth in anger and walked up to her and squeezed her wrist. Bella didn’t feel pain. She really didn’t feel pain at all, but she just kept weeping in front of him.
“There’s no reason. It’s just the way you want it to be.”
Bella bit her lip tightly to prevent herself from crying out. Was she aggrieved? She shouldn’t be grievous. Kevin did give her a chance. But she gave up the last chance to be forgiven. So she didn’t feel grievous. She just regretted that the love she carefully tried to guard had gone.
She wasn’t able to be with all the people she cherished, whether it was her mother or Kevin.
“Don’t you feel sorry for me? You’ve watched me heartbroken, but you won’t even give me an explanation. Don’t you know how hard I tried to let you come closer? I start a new relationship with you and want to hold hand in hand with you until we grow old. You see I am now in such a mess. Are you really okay? Don’t you really feel guilty at all after hurting someone willing to believe in love again due to you?”
“Is it possible that I say that I feel guilty and you won’t hurt anymore? Will you forgive me for everything if I explain to you why? Is it only when I kneel to you that you will think I know I’m wrong?”
Bella tearfully questioned, and Kevin became even angrier, “Do you know it’s wrong? Do you really know you’re wrong? I gave you three chances and you didn’t even cherish one. If you really loved me, you should have trusted me and believed that I would forgive you. Love without trust is not love at all. You have never trusted me. What do you have to convince me that you know you’re wrong?”
“That’s because no one has ever really loved me. If you live in an environment where there is only hatred, you will also have trouble with love, and will also always worry about whether your only lover will leave you and abandon you for various reasons. You can think of me selfish or stupid or weak. After living in a cold world for more than a decade, I’m like this. There is no way to change that. Even if time goes backwards, I still wouldn’t choose to be honest with you. If love needs to be based on trust, then doesn’t trust need to be based on tolerance?”
Kevin released his hand and smiled mockingly, “You hurt me after letting me fall in love with you. Should I show my gratitude to you and then embrace your hurt by saying, it’s okay, and it’s not a big deal?”
“It’s never my intention to hurt you.”
Well.
It was like Kevin had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, and he laughed with extreme sarcasm, “Bella, isn’t it every time you use such fancy words to appease the man you deceived? Ten years ago, you were sold to that foolish son of Richard for 100, 000 dollars, and ten years later, you were sold to me for 18 million dollars. It seems that after ten years, you have increased in value like gold. But I believe that in another ten years, no matter who you sell yourself to, you won’t be able to sell at such a good price. Because there is no one else, who is more foolish than me and that fool.
After he said that, he walked out of the office without looking back. The door was heavily closed.
Bella finally weakly sat on the ground, long after before she burst into tears. She also finally believed in her mother’s words. Love was a tumor, and would hurt you someday.
Outside the window a thunder and lightning flashed, and then it rained heavily. Bella had been crying for a long time, before staggering away into the rain. The rain soon drenched her whole body, mixed with her tears down. She did not know where to go. Unconsciously, she actually came to the sea. There was the endless sea waves. The horror of the tsunami sound seemed to mock her, since living was more painful than death, why would she still live?
On that day, she almost accompanied Kevin to die in the sea, but because she did not want to die and came home. What would happen if she really died that day? They would be very much in love with each other in the netherworld. Because those who were alive couldn’t persecute her.
She advanced step by step towards the seawater. The seawater mercilessly diffused over her thighs. She could never swim, but surprisingly she didn’t fear. She continued to move forward, until the seawater diffused over her abdomen, and heard, “Hey, girl, do you commit suicide?”
