Chapter 99

Herbert’s POV:

When I saw Bella appeared as a female companion of Klein at the party, my mood suddenly became very complicated.

My eyes were always following Bella.

When I saw how Klein was protecting Bella, I knew that he had other feelings for Bella.

I recalled that morning, when I saw Bella panting in Klein’s shirt.

At this moment, my mood was very complicated. What was the relationship between them?

To my surprise, Bella didn’t tell Klein that I was her ex-husband.

Klein walked up to me and said, “Herbert, I’ll give you an explanation later, but not now.” After speaking, Klein pulled Bella’s hand and walked towards a corner where there was a seat.

Bella gave me a cold glance, then turned and left with Klein.

After they left, Caroline grabbed my arm and complained, “Herbert, your cousin, Klein, has gone too far.

He’s very disdainful of me!” “I think he’s right.” I replied.

After a moment of silence, Caroline said, “Herbert, Bella is the woman you don’t want. But now, Klein is having an affair with her. Did he do it on purpose? And Bella, it’s only been half a year, but she’s already having an affair with Klein. She didn’t take much time to forget about you. It looks like she doesn’t really like you.”

“Shut up.” My mood was getting worse. “I’m telling the truth!” Caroline continued to speak. I continued to warn her, “If you are not happy, go back by yourself. Don’t spoil the atmosphere of Mr. Reina’s party.”

After that, I turned around and took a glass of wine from the waiter’s tray. I raised my head and drank the glass of wine.

All I could think about was Bella’s figure. I had to admit that I really couldn’t forget Bella. But what about her? She kept having an affair with other men. What’s more, Klein said that Bella was already married and pregnant. Under these circumstances, Bella actually joined this party with Klein? Although Klein was a playboy, if he knew that Bella was my ex-wife, he definitely wouldn’t continue to approach her.

So Bella didn’t want to mention our past relationship?

When this possibility emerged in my mind, my mood became even worse. Bella’s POV:

Klein and I sat down on a sofa in a corner.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t tell you that I’m your cousin’s ex-wife, but I only found out a few days ago that Herbert was your cousin.” I said, Klein lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, “I was indeed stunned just now, but I didn’t ask you about this. There’s no need for you to apologize to me.”

“If you feel that I’m not suitable to stay in the company, I can give you a resignation letter when I go back.” I suddenly raised my head and said after holding my glass of wine for a moment.

I knew my identity was very awkward now, so it was unlikely for me to stay in the company This was also the reason why I didn’t take the initiative to mention the relationship between Herbert and I.

Herbert and I were divorced. He had Caroline by his side and I had nothing to do with him.

And I didn’t want to lose this job.

But I had to tell Klein the current situation.

Thad thought that Klein would hesitate for a moment, but who would have thought that he would actually say, “Is there any relation between you being my cousin’s ex-wife and working in my company?”

“Herbert has misunderstood us. I don’t want you to be in a difficult position. The relationship between the two of us is very complicated. Although we are just ordinary friends, because of me, it is very likely that you will be in trouble.” I said.

Klein laughed as he patted the back of my hand. “Don’t worry. My cousin and I have a good relationship since we were young. Although I call him cousin, we’re only a few months apart. It can be said that we grew up together. He knows me very well, and I know him very well. I’ll explain to him and he will definitely understand. As for the Wharton Family, ever since my grandfather and grandmother passed away, the Wharton Family has rarely gathered together. Thus, you don’t have to worry.” Klein continued, “Right now, you are very important to the QW Law Firm. And you know a lot of trade secrets of my company, so I won’t let you go. If you go to the competitors’ company, I will suffer great losses!” I was amused by Klein. “Fine. I’ll take back what I just said.” To be honest, I also liked this job very much. The working environment and boss were very good. I really didn’t want to leave, but now I often met with Herbert, which made me a little distressed.

Just as I was thinking about what to do next…

Another thought came to me. Why did I have to hide from Herbert? I didn’t do anything wrong to him.

When we divorced, it was mainly because of the affair of Herbert. He loved Caroline. leven lost my child.

I was the one who got hurt the most. Thinking of this, I suddenly felt more confident. At this time, almost all the guests were here. The host began to speak, and all the guests began to give their best blessing to the host of the party. Then, Mr. Reina stepped forward and said, “Everyone, thank you for attending our wedding celebration party tonight. Thank you for your arrival.” After Mr. Reina finished speaking, everyone applauded.

Mi Reina continued, “You should have seen it from our invitation. It’s actually a charity auction Tonight I will auction some collected works of art and ornaments. All the profits from tonight’s auction will be donated to the charitable organization!”

“Of course, if you want to donate something else, it’s also possible. We have arranged for people to collect money. This money will be used to support some children who are in need of money. It will be used to improve their lives and improve their living conditions. As for the follow–up whereabouts of the money, we will also use a legal way to announce it to everyone.”

Then, the host said, “Everyone, the guests who want to donate can offer their kindness here. In addition, the items donated by Mr. Reina and Mrs. Reina will be auctioned on time in half an hour. Please support us at that time!”

Later, the guests all went to the registration counter to make their donation, Seeing this, I quickly opened my bag, only to find that I didn’t bring much cash today. I thought, “Can I use the credit card to donate money?”

Just as I was hesitating, Klein pulled out a cheque from his pocket. Laughing, he said, “I’ve already prepared it. The two of us can donate together!”

I took the cheque from his hand and saw that it was 4,000 dollars, and the name written on the back of the cheque were Klein and Bella.

Seeing that his name and mine were standing side by side, I couldn’t help but frown. Because as far as I knew, this type of donation method was either a married couple or a couple. As for Klein and I, we were just employer an employee. This was extremely inappropriate.

“This… isn’t a good idea, is it?” I revealed my doubts.

But Klein said, “This is a sum of money that we donated in our own name. As long as we do our best to show kindness, that’ll be enough. I’ll go register. Wait for me!”

After speaking, Klein took the cheque and left.

I wanted to pull him back, but he was far away, so I didn’t continue to chase him.

There were a lot of people in the registration counter. I stood up and went to the bathroom.

I stood in front of the sink and washed my hands. Looking up, I suddenly saw a woman in a red fishtail skirt staring at me in the mirror.

Caroline’s expression was full of aggressiveness. I could probably guess that she was here to pick a fight.

What an annoying woman.

I had already divorced Herbert, I had already withdrawn from their relationship. Why was she still looking for trouble?

I didn’t want to talk to her, so I turned around and walked to the door. However, I was blocked after taking two steps.

“It seems I underestimated you. You really are quite capable. Just after your divorce with Herbert, you immediately seduced Klein. You’ve been working so hard to marry into the Wharton Family just for money?” Caroline started mocking me.

I grabbed a piece of tissue and wiped the top of my hand. Then I crumpled the tissue into a ball and threw it into the trash can. Then I turned around and walked up to Caroline. I deliberately said, “Are you jealous of me? That’s right. After all, I once married Herbert. You’ve never married him!”
