Chapter 155
Bride of Mr.Billion
Bellaâs POV:
âWhen I become the mistress of this place, it will be the day that youâll be kicked out of the Wharton Group!â Caroline roared viciously at Joey.
âHerbert is a blind man. How could he marry you? Iâm telling you, I quit!â Joey pointed at Carolineâs nose and scolded.
âMiranda, chase these two b*tch out of here!â Caroline began to drive them away.
Miranda walked over slowly and said to Joey, âLadies, please leave.â I took a look at Miranda and shouted with tears streaming down my face, âHerbert, come out if youâre a man! Donât hide like a tortoise!â
The next moment, the bedroom door was opened.
A man in black trousers and a white shirt came out of the bedroom.
In an instant, the living room fell into silence. I cried and watched him walk toward me step by step. I stared at his expressionless face.
We just looked at each other without saying a word.
I couldnât figure out what he was thinking and I didnât dare to speak.
Next to him, Caroline stepped forward and took Herbertâs arm. âHerbert, tell her that we are going to get married soon. Ask her not to pester you in the future!â Caroline held his arm, but Herbert didnât refuse. âHerbert, no matter what choice you make, you owe me an explanation!â I stared at him. At this moment, my hand grabbed the hem of my shirt tightly, and there was a voice in my heart shouting, âHerbert, give me an explanation.â I kept telling myself that everything was fake. I wanted to know his real thoughts⦠As long as he gave me an explanation, I would believe that we could still be together happily as before.
But he didnât.
Herbert was silent for a long time before he said, âBella, Iâm sorry!â This sentence was like a big stone pressing down on my heart, making me feel so painful that I couldnât breathe. I took three steps back until my feet touched the wall. Joey couldnât help but blame Herbert. âHerbert, can an apology make up for the harm? Since you donât want to marry Bella, why did you approach her? Youâre so shameless! You scum!â âJoey, Iâm warning you. If you continue to insult my man, Iâll teach you a lesson!â Caroline warned Joey.
âBah! Your man? You can keep such a Åcum for yourself!â Joey cursed. I didnât hear the quarrel between Caroline and Joey behind at all. I looked up into Herbertâs eyes and asked slowly, âAre you really going to marry her?â |
14:05D âYes.â Herbert nodded.
âHave you ever loved me?â I asked. I wanted to ask him now. I didnât want to have any regrets in the future.
Herbert frowned and didnât say a word. My eyes were fixed on him, waiting for his answer. At this time, Caroline suddenly looked at Herbert and said with a smile, âHerbert, weâll be very happy if we still have Lucas in the future. Tell this woman that youâve never loved her!â I didnât care about what Caroline said. I was waiting for Herbertâs answer. âThe two of them are talking. Donât speak!â Joey yelled at her. âI think youâre the one who should keep quiet!â Caroline retorted. âYouâ¦â Joey wanted to say something but Herbert, who had been silent for a long time suddenly opened his mouth. âBella, I made a mistake that every man would make. Iâm sorry!â Herbert looked at me and said. âWhat do you mean? What do you mean by making a nistake that every man will make?â I stared at him and asked.
At this time, Herbert suddenly looked at Caroline beside him and said, âI just have a little good impression of you. The person I love most is Caroline, so I canât marry you. The person I marry can only be Caroline. Donât bother me anymore, and I wonât see you again!â Hearing this, I almost collapsed on the ground. Fortunately, Joey held me up, so I was not so embarrassed.
Joey pointed at the two and cursed, âHerbert, are you a human? How can you say that? You rich men are not good people! And you, what are you proud of? You just got yourself a jerk!â Herbert did not refute the curses. Caroline pointed angrily at Joey and I, and said, âPlease get out. Youâre not welcome here!â I felt great pain in my chest. I looked up at Herbert and suppressed my sadness. âSince youâve made up your mind, I wish you a happy marriage. Take this back and pretend that weâve never known each other in the future!â After that, I took off the diamond ring on my left ring finger, threw it on Herbert, and then turned away with tears. I ran out of Herbertâs house as fast as I could and cried as I ran. Joey caught up with me and accompanied me. Feeling that my heart was hollowed out, I suddenly hugged Joey and cried, âJoey, take me⦠home, I want to go home!â Joey hugged me and patted my back comfortingly. âAll right, Iâll take you home right away!â Then, Joey took me to a taxi.
I looked at everything outside the window blankly, and tears kept flowing down from my eyesâ¦
