Ian wiped his sweat apprehensively. âI just think that since you canât let go of the young madam, why
donât you just tell her how you feel?â
âTell her how I feel? Hahâ¦â
Justin sneered and gritted his teeth. âIâve made up my mind. I will never remarry Anna!â
âThen why did you go there tonight?â
âJust drive!â
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.
âDonât you have anything you want to say to me?â
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, âBella, didnât you have something to say? Why are you asking us?â
Bella held her forehead in resignation and thought, âAunt Sasha is really dull at times.â
âYou and Aunt Mila taught Justin a lesson just now. Donât you have anything to say to me?â
âPft! Thereâs nothing more to say.
Sasha sat down across from Bella, crossing her legs ungracefully.
âThis is because Mila and Celeste stopped me. Otherwise, I wouldâve stabbed that son of a bitch a
million times and hung him upside down to feed my Bobo.â
âWhoâs Bobo?â Bella asked.
Mila replied, âSashaâs pet alligator. Wyatt gave it to her as a birthday gift last year.â
Bella was speechless.
Celeste saw that Bella was still mad at them, so she hurriedly walked over and timidly tugged at the
corner of Sashaâs shirt. âSasha, donât talk so muchâ¦â
âEverything I say is from the bottom of my heart. We should be honest with family!â
Sashaâs eyes were red with anger. âBella, 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! Heâs worse than an animal! Even if he didnât love you, he shouldnât hurt you like this! Why canât he
just get struck by lightning and die?!â
âHe made it clear to me at the beginning that he didnât love me. Itâs a destined outcome that heâs
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? Itâll just be more troublesome.â
Bella rubbed her sore temples. Her eyes were desolate as she said, âThe pain will only be more vivid if
I continue this entanglement. Itâs torture for me, so I would rather let it be and let this pain slowly fade
with time.â
âLet it be?!â
Sasha roared angrily. She stood up and grabbed Bellaâs shoulders. âHow should we just let it be?! How
can you ask me to let him go?! Youâve conceived a child for him once, but that bastard is heartless!â
The blood on Bellaâs face instantly drained. Sashaâs words were like blunt knives cutting open her
stomach. The pain spread to her limbs and drilled into her bones.
âSasha, are you crazy?! We agreed not to mention this!â Mila broke into a cold sweat and rushed over
to pull Sasha back.
âSasha, stop talking about this, okay? Stop mentioning Bellaâs sad memoriesâ¦â Celeste hurriedly
persuaded her.
âHe doesnât know about it.â
Bella slowly looked up and held back her tears. âI never told Justin that I was pregnant with his child.â
