âWhat?â Bella exclaimed, abruptly standing up from her chair. She stared at Axel in disbelief. âRoza is
Cole Walkerâs illegitimate daughter?â
âIt is understandable why she chose to hide her background from you,â Axel remarked, feeling uneasy
as he observed Rozaâs background check.
Compared to those who openly expressed their sadness and misfortune, Axel felt more pity for those
like Roza, who kept everything hidden inside.
âRoza⦠Sheâs really foolish,â Bella muttered, feeling like her heart had been torn apart.
âThe two men that Roza drank with last night were high-ranking executives of a foreign construction
company. They had business dealings with the Walker family. Piecing together the conversation
between Roza and her father last night, Iâm guessing it was all
arranged by the Walker family.â
âUnbelievable! How could he make his own daughter accompany clients for business like a mere
escort? Cole Walker is a heartless
monster! Has he lost his mind?â Bella slammed the table fiercely,
causing her coffee to spill from the cup, her eyes ablaze with fury.
âAx, Iâll handle this matter. Promise me you will take care of Roza for
the next few days until she recovers.
â
Axel was stunned for a moment and didnât immediately respond.
Bella glared at him with her beautiful eyes. âCan you do it or not?â
Axel quickly agreed. âYes, whatever you ask, Iâll do it. Of course, I can.â
âWhat? Now that you know Roza is an illegitimate daughter, are you disturbed by her background?â
Axelâs face turned red, feeling a bit flustered. âWhat are you talking about? Am I that kind of snobbish
person?â
Just then, Asher called Bella on the phone, saying. âBella, Justin will attend a business conference
tonight. You can meet him there.â
âGot it,â Bella replied lightly.
âBella, you can ask to meet him privately.â Asher paused and said sincerely, âAlthough you canât be
husband and wife, nor friends, you donât have to avoid him forever. Just meet him once.â
âI donât want to meet him privately.â Bella did not know why she was a little afraid of seeing Justin. She
whispered, âAsh, I would like Arnold to see Justin and schedule the treatment if possible. Once Justin
has recovered completely, we can stop having any contact with each
other.â
Axel returned to the ward, finding Roza standing by the window with her back to him as she spoke on
the phone.
âIâve done enough for the Walker family over the years. What more do
you want from me? Do you want me to sell my blood and my body before youâre satisfied?â Roza
struggled to suppress the trembling
anger in her voice, sweating profusely.
Suddenly, her phone was snatched away from her grip. Axel had
taken advantage of her momentary distraction to snatch her phone
away.
âོà½à¼à½à¼
Roza lifted her tear-streaked face in astonishment and saw Axelâs remarkably handsome profile. His
righteous look inexplicably gave her an unprecedented sense of security from deep within her heart.
âHello.â Axelâs voice was icy.
Cole asked, surprised. âWho⦠Who are you?â
âWith your status, youâre not worthy of knowing who I am.â Axel sneered. âBut let me remind you that
what youâre doing is illegal. Youâre violating a womanâs will, and can sue you at any time.â
âSue me?! Haha. Who do you think you are? Do you even know who I am?â Cole laughed in anger. He
didnât take Axel seriously, thinking he was just a naive youngster that came out of nowhere.
