Chapter 125

Although the board of directors’ reshuffle was done to help Jack, Bella still felt grateful and satisfied with the meeting’s outcome.

Stellar Entertainment can be saved by removing the person responsible for the damage, preventing other employees from losing their jobs.

“Let’s dine first before you go home, Bella.” Jack follows Bella to her office, with Leo tailing them from behind.

“No. I have to go home. I left Dax since morning, so I must return now p>

Bella had already promised her son she would always have dinner with him. Still, after only a week as a working mother, she had already broken her promise. She feels terrible.

“Oh, come on, I will not stay long in this city. Spare me your time p>

Jack leaned against the door frame while watching Bella tidy her desk. He was impressed by how quickly she gathered her things.

“Boss, you can have dinner with me upstairs. Bella never accepts dinner invitations…Let’s go!” Leo patted Jack’s shoulder when he saw Bella ignore him.

Jack looked at Leo, confused by his words. He knew Bella had chosen to hide herself while living in Sweden because her house was isolated from the outside world. However, she doesn’t have to do that here. She also needs to socialize in this bustling city, right p>

“Why she can’t go dine with us?” Jack asked.

“Because she can’t Leo knew that Tristan Sinclair picked her up daily to go home together. Bella wouldn’t allow Tristan to meet them, especially Jack.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Jack’s lips; he could guess what Leo meant. It must be related to the news he heard from Sam about what has been happening here lately. Faintly took a deep breath, Jack fixed his gaze on Bella again.

“Bella, we’ll have dinner in just an hour… I guarantee you’ll be home before Dax goes to sleep. I can also call Dax if you feel sorry for him. How p>

She ignores his words.

“Boss, are you flying back to New York tonight?” Bella glances at Jack quickly before changing her stilettos to white sneakers.

Jack shook his head.

“Nope. I can’t return home now. Someone may not believe my effort to help—” Jack’s voice trails off when he sees Bella roll her eyes while walking past him. He follows her to the elevator without saying anything else.

Bella chuckled softly as she stopped before the elevator and looked at Jack beside her. She didn’t know whether Jack pampered his wife too much or was really afraid of her.

“Why are you afraid of her too much, Jack? You even give her family the privilege to enter your company p>

Jack instantly turns to see her in the eyes with his complicated gaze.

“It’s hard for me to say whether you are spoiling or afraid of her Bella said casually. However, deep down in her heart, she felt envious of Jack’s wife because that woman received the kind of attention she had never received from Tristan.

Jack rubs his eyebrow and avoids eye contact with her.

“Bella, you misunderstood something p>

He did not do it for his wife but rather to teach his wife’s family a lesson. If he hadn’t done it, they would have remained a burden on their marriage. He must help his wife stop her family from taking advantage of her weakness.

This is the opposite of Bella. Even though she sacrifices to help her family and willingly does the arranged marriage, in the end, she is brave enough to speak up and stop her family from forcing her again.

“Huh!? Was I wrong? But why do I see you so afraid of your wife? I mean, tell her what her brother did to the company. I’m sure she will understand. You don’t have to worry about her throwing you out of your bed p>

“Pft Leo, standing nearby, almost spat out upon hearing Bella’s words.

Bella’s thought amused Leo. Jack’s wife would not have the audacity to kick Jack out of his own house.

Before Leo could say anything, he saw Jack send him an intense gaze. He immediately sealed his mouth shut and turned to see elsewhere, pretending he didn’t hear their conversation.

“Alright, my friend… It’s hard to explain now. Let’s just drop this matter,” Jack smiled at Bella while gesturing for her to enter the elevator.

When Bella saw Jack avoiding the topic, she stopped to ask again. She entered the elevator with Jack following behind.

“I thought you would sleep upstairs? Why do you follow me now p>

“I want to meet him p>

Bella’s expression slowly turned stiff. She pressed the open button. She didn’t want this man to follow her to the lobby and run into Tristan.

“Him p>

“Your ex-stupid-husband p>

Bella, p>

Imagine Jack and Tristan’s meeting exhausted her. She remembered that Jack really hated Tristan. He suggested giving Tristan Sinclair a lesson a few times, but she always stopped him. And, if they met now, they might fight.

“Leo told you?” Bella asked, narrowing her eyes towards Leo, who was standing outside.

Jack shook his head, “Nope. But, Sam p>

Bella could only scold Sam in her mind. She felt betrayed.

“Jack, you don’t have to meet him. He is nobody for me p>

“Ough! Poor Tristan Sinclair Jack says with his comical expression, holding his laughter. “Well, at least you didn’t give that man a chance p>

Bella, p>

“You’re wasting my time, Jack. Please get out of this elevator,” she said impatiently.

Jack didn’t pay attention to her words. He remained standing where he was and said, “Bella, let me remind you, he is your son’s father… And I need to meet him!” He wants to meet Tristan Sinclair since Bella is starting to see him again — to warn him something.

He was concerned that Tristan Sinclair might try to win Bella’s heart again, especially after she appeared with Dax. He felt the need to warn Tristan Sinclair not to mess with Bella’s heart again, regardless of how wealthy he was.
