Chapter 144
Ian wiped his sweat apprehensively. “I just think that since you can’t let go of the young madam, why don’t you just tell her how
you feel?”
“Tell her how I feel? Hah...”
Justin sneered and gritted his teeth. “I’ve made up my mind. I will never remarry Anna!”
“Then why did you go there tonight?”
“Just drive!”
Justin roared in a hoarse voice, scaring Ian, who dared not talk anymore.
Justin slumped back weakly in the backseat and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his palm.
Only then did he remember that he had been holding the fragment of the purple jade bracelet in his hand the whole time.
At that moment, the broken jade fragment cut his palm, which started oozing dark red blood.
Justin did not know what was wrong with him. He wanted to take Anna away tonight and separate her from Asher, no matter
what. He just wanted them to be separated.
After bidding farewell to Drew, Bella went back to finish her meal with Asher and Axel and comforted her father. Then she came
out of the study, exhausted.
She stood in the corridor and pondered for a while before she took out her phone to message Mila, Celeste, and Sasha,
respectively.
[Aunt Mila/Aunt Celeste/Aunt Sasha, please come to the pavilion in the back garden. I have
something to say.]
Fifteen minutes later, the three women arrived at the pavilion on time.
The three women, who usually chatted endlessly when they were together, were quiet in front of Bella
at the moment.
“Don’t you have anything you want to say to me?”
Bella was sitting in the pavilion with her arms folded across her chest. She had a serious expression, like a principal preparing to
reprimand naughty students.
Mila and Celeste remained silent.
Sasha quickly said, “Bella, didn’t you have something to say? Why are you asking us?”
Bella held her forehead in resignation and thought, ‘Aunt Sasha is really dull at times.’
“You and Aunt Mila taught Justin a lesson just now. Don’t you have anything to say to me?”
“Pft! There’s nothing more to say.
Sasha sat down across from Bella, crossing her legs ungracefully.
“This is because Mila and Celeste stopped me. Otherwise, I would’ve stabbed that son of a bitch a million times and hung him
upside down to feed my Bobo.”
“Who’s Bobo?” Bella asked.
Mila replied, “Sasha’s pet alligator. Wyatt gave it to her as a birthday gift last year.”
Bella was speechless.
Celeste saw that Bella was still mad at them, so she hurriedly walked over and timidly tugged at the corner of Sasha’s shirt.
“Sasha, don’t talk so much...”
“Everything I say is from the bottom of my heart. We should be honest with family!”
Sasha’s eyes were red with anger. “Bella, Justin Salvador is heartless! Even my Bobo is more humane than him! You have
devoted yourself wholeheartedly to the Salvador family for the past three years. A pampered princess like you turned into his
personal nanny and miserable wife. But in the end, he still forced you to get a divorce for his own selfish desires. Then he turned
around and married someone else! He’s worse than an animal! Even if he didn’t love you, he shouldn’t hurt you like this! Why
can’t he just get struck by lightning and die?!”
“He made it clear to me at the beginning that he didn’t love me. It’s a destined outcome that he’s getting married to the love of his
life. I know I failed, but I can just walk away as if nothing happened. Why do you want to keep getting me involved with him over
this matter? It’ll just be more troublesome.”
Bella rubbed her sore temples. Her eyes were desolate as she said, “The pain will only be more vivid if I continue this
entanglement. It’s torture for me, so I would rather let it be and let this pain slowly fade with time.”
“Let it be?!”
Sasha roared angrily. She stood up and grabbed Bella’s shoulders. “How should we just let it be?! How can you ask me to let
him go?! You’ve conceived a child for him once, but that bastard is heartless!”
The blood on Bella’s face instantly drained. Sasha’s words were like blunt knives cutting open her stomach. The pain spread to
her limbs and drilled into her bones.
“Sasha, are you crazy?! We agreed not to mention this!” Mila broke into a cold sweat and rushed over to pull Sasha back.
“Sasha, stop talking about this, okay? Stop mentioning Bella’s sad memories...” Celeste hurriedly persuaded her.
“He doesn’t know about it.”
Bella slowly looked up and held back her tears. “I never told Justin that I was pregnant with his child.”
