Chapter 256: Chapter 256

It was already past midnight when they returned to Bella’s private villa.

Amelia was worried about her sister and kept trying to stay awake. Her eyes were bloodshot from

exhaustion, and she looked so pitiful.

“Amelia, stop blaming yourself. I’m fine. Don’t you have classes tomorrow morning? Go to bed quickly.”

Bella sat next to Amelia and reached out to hug her.

“Bella, do you think that I’m useless? You protected me when I was a child. Now that I’m grown up, I

still can’t do anything for you…” Amelia pouted as tears filled her eyes again.

“Silly girl, what are you saying?”

Bella flicked Amelia’s forehead and said, “Because of you and Aunt Celeste, our family’s bond became

stronger. You are our baby and our most precious little lucky star. If you really want to do something for

me, then you should work hard to realize your dream. When you make a name for yourself in the

entertainment industry, I’ll make you my spokesperson. That way we can keep the wealth within the

family, and it can save me some money. How nice is that?” “Bella, I’ll definitely succeed!” Amelia wiped

away the tears with the back of her hand and nodded seriously.

After Amelia washed up, she fell asleep in seconds as soon as her head touched the pillow. Bella

covered her sister with the quilt and walked out of the room.

Steven was already waiting for her in the study.

“I think Rosalind is hospitalized tonight. Have you found out the reason?” The warmth in Bella’s eyes

disappeared as she sat down on the sofa.

“Yes. She attempted suicide by cutting her wrists and was rescued in time. She’s currently out of

danger.”

Steven paused for a moment. A cold glint flashed across his dark eyes. “Justin has always been by her

side.”

“Well, of course. That fake bitch tried to kill herself because of him. Even if Justin dies, he will have to

be buried next to her.” Bella mocked, not at all surprised.

“Miss, what do you think about Rosalind’s suicide?”

“It’s the funniest joke I’ve heard all year!”

Bella leaned on her side, closed her eyes, and rubbed her sore temples. “She hasn’t become the wife

of Salvador Corporation’s CEO or killed me yet, so how could she be willing to die first? Besides,

people who really seek death won’t want to be discovered.”

“So, you think that Rosalind is doing this just for show?”

Steven frowned in confusion. “But why did she make such a risky move? Wasn’t she going to marry

Justin soon? Did Justin think twice about marrying her? Is that why she’s threatening him with her life?”

Bella felt frustrated. “Who knows? Maybe he has his eye on someone else now that he’s about

to marry Rosalind. He thinks that the grass is always greener on the other side anyway. He’s a ruthless

man, so I won’t be surprised if he abandons her.”

“That’s true. But I still hope they can get married smoothly. That way, they can rot together and stop

harming others.”

Steven ground his teeth angrily and asked, “Who do you think sent the attacker? Shannon? But she’s

still in detention with Mr. Axel, so she shouldn’t have time to arrange these things.”

Bella’s eyes gradually turned gloomy. “That man is a martial artist. Judging by his boxing and kicking

skills, I think he’s from an underground boxing ring. He has no technique, but he knows very practical

killing moves. Shannon has no time to plan this, and Bethany doesn’t have the chance to meet such a

person. Only Rosalind meets all the criteria. She used to live in Meridan for three years. Axel had done

a background check on her before. Her interpersonal relationships were very complicated. She had

affairs with multiple men. Maybe this simple- minded brute is one of them, and she used him to do her

dirty work.”

Steven’s eyes trembled. He felt that Bella’s analysis made a lot of sense.

“As for the reason this man attacked me, I have no clue. Instead of playing the guessing game here,

we might as well ask him tomorrow.”

Bella suddenly remembered something and leaned forward. “By the way, did you leak this news to my

eldest brother?”

Steven sighed helplessly. “I wouldn’t disobey your order. I didn’t reveal a word to Mr. Asher.”

“Phew… That’s good.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Bella’s phone rang.

Asher’s name on the screen made Bella’s hair stand on end. Her eyes widened in fear.

She hurriedly put her phone aside, not daring to answer it.

Soon after, Steven’s phone rang. However, he dared not reject his boss’s call!

“Hi, Mr. Thompson.” Steven forced himself to calm down.

“Get Bella to answer the phone.”

Steven did not put the phone on speaker mode, but Asher’s voice was deep and resounding, which

made Bella’s eyelids twitch.
