Chapter 1076
Chapter 1076
What shocked Bella Green even more was that Victor Bennett actually kept pestering Joanna Ramsey after she got engaged.What the hell does he want!?
Bella had asked Victor before what he felt about Joanna, whether he liked her.
And how did he answer?
He said he didn’t like her, said it with such certainty.
Even on Joanna’s engagement day, that was still his answer.
Then what is this entanglement supposed to be now?
Bella’s expression also grew ugly, a faint anger rising in her chest.
Suddenly, she thought of Mason saying he was going to see a friend.
She hadn’t paid attention before, but thinking about it now, what kind of friend would make Mason drop everything to go meet them, without even saying a name?
Looking at it now, he was probably going to see Victor.
So he’s known all along that Victor was in Kyoto?
Bella took a deep breath and forced down the fire in her heart.
"Alright, I’ll talk to him."
Joanna smiled and didn’t bring up anything about Victor again.
"Do you have any plans after you go back?" Bella asked.
"What plans could I have? Just keep my dad company. Now that I actually have money, I don’t need to go work part-time anymore." Joanna said, letting out a light laugh.
But that smile was filled with endless mockery and sarcasm.
"Do you want to come to the set with me? I remember you acted before too."
If you really traced it back, in both past and present lives, Bella’s entry into the entertainment industry was all because of Joanna.
If Joanna hadn’t found that extra’s part-time gig, Bella wouldn’t have entered this circle, and then fallen in love with it.
Joanna shook her head. "No, I’m only fit to be a background extra at best. Besides, the White Family probably wouldn’t let me act."
Bella saw that she really had no such intention and didn’t press the matter.
"Remember to call me when you get back."
Joanna nodded with a smile. "Of course. You’re my best friend. When I get back of course I’ll tell you first, so I can make you treat me to a big meal."
Joanna blinked playfully and said with a grin.
But to Bella, that smile had lost far too many things.
The two of them sat together for the better part of half a day before they parted.
After seeing Joanna off, Bella’s mood grew even heavier.
Joanna had changed, and Bella didn’t know if she could ever go back to that lively, cheerful girl she used to be.
...
After they split up, Bella immediately called Mason Bennett.
The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.
Hearing the faint thump of music through the receiver, Bella asked straight away,
"Where are you?"
Mason seemed to walk a bit farther away, and the music on the line became a bit softer.
"Out with a friend. Are you done over there? I’ll come pick you up."
"Don’t try to brush me off. You’re with Victor, aren’t you?" Bella asked coldly.
The other end went silent for a moment, then he let out a soft sigh.
"You really do know everything."
"Send me the address."
Mason gave her an address. After Bella memorized it, she hung up, grabbed a cab, and headed straight over.
...
In a private room at the bar.
As soon as Bella walked in, she saw the man dead drunk and sprawled on the sofa, fast asleep with zero image management.
The sight made her fury blaze up; she strode over and yanked him up.
The sudden movement made Victor’s head pound. He opened his eyes to see Bella’s furious face and couldn’t help breaking into a silly grin.
"Sister-in-law, you’re here too? You’re here to catch my brother, right? I can testify he didn’t call any escorts."
