Bella clenched her fists, feeling a surge of bitterness. âAn innocent
girl has already died because of me, Dr. Fairchild. I canât bear the thought of anything happening to
you because of my actions. Itâs just
too much for me.â
Upon hearing this, Simon lowered his head in remorse and murmured, âMs. Thompson, all I wanted
was to help you one last time by taking revenge for you. I didnât expect it would have caused so
much trouble for you. Iâm truly sorry.â
âYou donât know Shannon and her daughter well, but I do. Although Bethany is not as sharp as
Shannon, she has inherited her motherâs ruthlessness. With her impulsive behavior, she is even
more
merciless than Shannon.â
Bella continued, âWhile Shannon is careful about the outcome of her actions, Bethany is different.
She often acts without considering the consequences just because sheâs Gregory Salvadorâs
daughter d the heiress of the Salvador family.
âThatâs why my sister took extra precautions and had me lurking your hospital.â The man in the
passenger seat took off his black mask, revealing a strikingly handsome face that could make
anyone heart skip a beat. âIâve been following you since you left, worried tha Bethany might try to
harm you if given the chance. It seems that ou suspicions were right all along. She doesnât let go of
grudges easily.â
âAnd, who might this be?â Simon asked curiously.
âThis is Drew, my fourth brother,â Bella said, sweetly smiling at Drew.
Drew responded with a wink, instantly bringing warmth to the tense atmosphere in the car.
Simon was surprised and let out a chuckle.
Bella always seemed to have powerful allies ready to defend her, never lacking knights in shining
armor. As long as he could look out for himself and refrain from causing any issues for her, that
would be the greatest help he could offer her.
Bella escorted Simon to the hospital and felt relieved after sending two bodyguards over to assist
him.
At that moment, Drew approached Bella with a solemn expression.
âBella, you have incredible insight. Your ex-husband and that little brat from the Hoffman family are
indeed headed for Terranova. It seems like Justin wants to keep you in the dark about his meeting
with
Winston.â
Bellaâs heart sank. While she had suspected that Justinâs supp business trip was a ruse to pursue
Winston, having her suspi confirmed brought on a wave of overwhelming fear.
Bella asked, âDid Ash tell you?â
âAsh is already on his way to Terranova. He assured you not to worry
Heâll handle everything meticulously.
âTerranova is different from our country. We have more freedom.
there.â
Bella frowned, pacing back and forth. âWeâve looked into Winston
before. Heâs a mercenary in Terranova with his own troops. His group has deep roots there. Even
the authorities canât touch them, and sometimes they even offer them protection. Justinâs reckless
decision to go after him is one thing, but Iâm worried heâll get into trouble himself if he canât catch
Winston!â
âAsh also has connections in Terranova. When he arrives there, he just needs to help your ex-
husband a little.â
Drew remained indifferent, wearing a wicked grin on his lips. âIâm looking forward to Justinâs
performance this time. Iâve always heard you talk about how fierce and formidable he was during his
time in the peacekeeping force. My ears hurt from listening to it all! Now that the chance has come,
letâs see if it lives up to the hype.â
âDrew! Do you have any empathy at all?â
Bellaâs eyes were red with anger as she tightly clenched her fists. This time around, heâs basically
heading into the lionâs den alone. without even a proper weapon. Heâs even brought that burdens
Ryan. They could be harmed or worse! If anything were to happ
him, then Iâ¦â
âThen who will you marry?â Drew spoke with his hands tucked in pockets as he leaned closer to her
face. His eyes were full of
mockery.
Bella blushed and was about to smack him when suddenly an idea
struck her. There was someone in the Thompson family who had
more influence than Asher.
It would definitely help Justin!
