Brr, Louis glanced at her angrily, seething at her taking her undeserved gain for granted, “If I really went to travel with Bella and you didn’t cry and quarrel with me, I would change my surname and take yours, I’ll call myself Louis Lee !”
“Eh, that sounds good… ” Alice followed Louis to the bedroom.
Hilary and Gillian have officially joined hands. The two worked together against Kevin aggressively. Bella couldn’t put up with them anymore and came to Kevin’s office angrily. She threw a bunch of files in front of him, “Look, our several affiliated marketing stores have been vandalized. Obviously, it was Hilary who did it. Why didn’t you make any move?”
“Who said I didn’t make any move. Two days ago, Hilary’s shipment to Russia was found to be carrying contraband at customs, and she lost several hundreds of millions of dollars.”
“What about Gillian? She deliberately gives us a hard time as she has Master White who got her back. What’s your plan to deal with her? To beat one’s dog, you have to look at who his master is. If you go against her, Master White would not tolerate it. The only way is to tell Master White that Alvin is his son and asked Master White to stop that woman from doing evil!”
“Why do you constantly bring up Alvin? Is there no other useful weapon except Alvin?”
“You tell me what other weapon do we have？You are sandwiched by them. One of them is in the mafia and another is of white way, there is no way for you to fight back.”
“You don’t have to worry about this. I will take care of it. You can leave now.”
“You can resolve it at once but choose to go into the dead end. Alvin wants to do it, and you just follow him. As long as Master White knows that Alvin is his son, he would come to our side. At that time, we join hands to take Hilary down and asked Master White to divorce Gillian, then everything settles. Isn’t this all good?”
“You think it’s a good idea, what about Alvin? Would he think it’s a good idea, too? You have talked to him and he told you specifically that he wouldn’t recognize Master White as his father, so what else do you expect?”
“He’s reluctant to do so because he holds grudge against Master White and only Master White himself can remove it. But if you don’t tell him, how could he has the chance to clear up his son’s grudge?”
“Don’t make yourself sound so righteous as if you genuinely want them to reunite, but actually you just want to cozy up to Master White by this chance, you are just being self-interested!”
Bella was irritated. With a stomp, she said, “You are being self-interested. It seems as if you are loyal to your friend and respect his decision, but in fact, you are vicariously preventing a father and a son from reuniting with each other.” If you really think of the best for him, you should help him find his family instead of helping him staying away from it!”
“You think you are someone in a TV show who helps the other two bury the hatchet? It sounds moving, but you have to know that we are in reality not a TV show!”
“TV show is also part of life. Back then your parents were quarreling due to Freya’s parents, you claimed that you would never come home again. Shouldn’t I respect your decision and leave with you together, regardless of Mom and Dad’s feelings to show that I love you?”
“Yes.”
“You better think clearly before you answer. I remind you the last time, you can keep cool but I can’t. If you don’t do it, then I’ll tell Master White myself!”
“You dare!”
Bella walked to the door and talked back with confidence: “Why wouldn’t I dare to? We’ll see!”
Kevin didn’t take Bella’s words seriously until the third day, Master White called him.
He went to Master White’s house after work. Master White handed him an anonymous letter peacefully, “Have a look.”
Kevin hesitated for a second and took it slowly. The letter was printed in lead in fear that the handwriting would expose something, “Hello, Master White. Please forgive me that I choose to tell you something in the form of a letter as it’s not proper for me to show up in person. Your son is Alvin, Kevin Jones-Sharp’s best assistant. As Alvin hold some grudge against you, he had laser surgery to remove the birthmark on his leg a year ago. If you want to relieve his grudge, please divorce Gillian first and try to change his mind by love…”
Suddenly Kevin’s face turned gloomy. Master White asked him, “Is that true? Is Alvin really my son?”
Kevin didn’t answer his question and was holding his burning anger. He stood up, “Master White, I will confirm this for you. I got something to deal with, see you then.”
He hurriedly left Master White’s apartment for home. The old madam was out for something. There were only Bella and her sister-in-law at the Cloud Mansion. They were sitting there and talking about how men change before and after marriage. At this time, Kevin walked in with a somber face.
He hurried to the front of Bella, and grabbed her arm violently, which scared his sister who anxiously asked, “Brother, what’s wrong?”
Kevin ignored her and queried Bella, “You told Master White about Alvin?”
Bella’s eyes were wide open and shook her head in panic, “I didn’t.”
“You still don’t admit it? Didn’t you say you would do it? Now I see, Bella you have done a good job. Writing an anonymous letter to challenge my bottom of line. Your words are full of righteousness, first asking him to divorce with Gillian and then to change Alvin’s mind by love, you think you are the reincarnation of Goddess of Mercy who tries to detach all the living beings from pain?!”
Bella came to her sense from shock and hurriedly defend herself, “I didn’t send any anonymous letter. Why you don’t believe me every time?”
“How could I believe you? No other person knows this besides you and me. Would it be Alvin to send the letter himself?”
Kevin raised his voice. And Bella was tremendously frustrated, “I said I didn’t do it. I can’t help if you don’t believe me!”
Now no matter how eloquent she was, she couldn’t prove herself innocent. There was nothing she could do to remove her suspicion after she had said those words at Kevin’s office. She just wanted to provocate him but didn’t intend to tell Master White this secret. She was not that kind of person and thought that Kevin would know that.
“I urged you again and again that you can’t tell anyone this secret, but you stubbornly ignored my words. Well, now Alvin must think that I didn’t keep my words to him, that I’m an untrustworthy person. Do you know that you have destroyed our trust and friendship for over ten years!”
I didn’t do it, what would you want me to do so that you believe me?
“Now at this point, you still don’t admit it? How can I clean up the mess for you if you don’t admit it?”
Brr, Bella was speechless and impossible to prove herself. She suddenly struggled off Kevin’s hand and said with her teeth clenched, “Yes, I did it, satisfied now. It’s my fault and please clean up the mess for me.”
She turned and ran to the outside. Kevin grabbed her, “Where are you going? Don’t you feel guilty for what you did? ”
“Let me go.”
She was very sad and angry as Kevin didn’t believe her, so she ran away from home without hesitation.
Lena recovered herself from shock and urged, “Brother, come on, my sister-in-law runs away…”
“As she wants to run away, then let her do it!”
Kevin reproached and turned to go upstairs.
“Brother, it’s me, I sent the letter, I reveal the secret.”
Kevin turned around abruptly and asked with shock, “What did you say?”
With her teeth clenched and face blushing, she said, “I sent Master White an anonymous letter. You wronged your wife.”
“How did you know this thing?”
“Was it Alvin who said it after he got drunk…”
“Are you crazy? Who told you to act on your own?!”
Kevin pressed against her shoulder. Had it not been that he never hit her, he would slap her on her face.
He turned and ran out of home. In the car, he called Bella, “Sorry, the number you dialed is not available…”
This woman turned off her phone from time to time!
Starting the engine and turning the steering wheel, he drove the car flashing out of the mansion’s gate.
He searched carefully along a spacious road. Soon he saw a familiar figure. Bella was sitting on the marble stair, holding a box of popcorn and cramming them into her mouth out of anger.
Ah, she still had the appetite to eat, then she didn’t get that mad.
Getting off the car, he slowly walked to her and sat beside her, saying in a soft tone, “I’m sorry.”
Bella didn’t even look at him and moved her body a little bit so that he couldn’t see her face. She crunched the popcorn loudly in her mouth, which made Kevin scalp tingle.
“I’m apologizing to you, do you hear it?”
He pulled her arm and she turned her head angrily, “Why do you apologize?”
“It was Lena who sent the letter, I misunderstood you…
Bella felt aggrieved with tears teeming up her eyes, “So you come to find me because you know that you misunderstand me, don’t you? If Lena didn’t own up to it, you wouldn’t care about whether I’m dead or alive, would you?”
“No, I was too angry back then. Even if Lena didn’t admit it, I would calm down myself and come to find you soon.”
“How could you be so sure that you can find me? What if I go somewhere far away that you are not able to find me? I guess you wouldn’t feel guilty about this!”
“I know you won’t go too far so that I just watched you run away and didn’t stop you. You are a mother now, not just one person, so you wouldn’t be so willful and go somewhere that I can’t find you. My Bella is such a responsible person, you didn’t run too far.”
“Stop!” His sweet talks didn’t do anything, “You rather you believe that I wouldn’t go too far but didn’t believe what I said. Anyway, I’m always the first one you are suspicious about when something happened, literally every time, am I such a pushover?”
Bella cried aggrievedly. Kevin held her, feeling guilty, “Ok, I’m sorry, it’s my fault this time. But think about it, under that kind of situation, I just couldn’t suspect anyone else. What you said three days ago matches with the content of the letter…”
