Chapter 935: What Are They Hiding From? Are They Even Hiding Abroad?
The woman’s sharp, anger-filled voice came through the receiver, causing Bella Green to instinctively move the phone a bit farther away.However, Emma Sutherland’s words made her pause.
"You broke up with Louis Lawrence?"
"Bella Green, stop pretending. If you hadn’t said something to him, why would he have broken up with me?"
That certain tone implied she was convinced Bella had said something to Louis, leading to the breakup.
"Then you should ask him. If a man would break up with you over someone else’s words, are you sure he truly loves you?"
Bella Green was almost certain of her earlier suspicion, otherwise Louis wouldn’t have turned around and told Emma they were over.
So, the danger Emma almost encountered might have been deflected for her sake.
For that reason alone, Bella felt it necessary to give her a heads-up.
"You admitted it! Bella Green, I have no grudge against you. Why are you doing this to me? Just because I mistook your cousin for an assistant last time, you wanted to get back at me by breaking up Louis and me? Bella Green, how could you be so despicable!"
Bella: "..."
Why does it feel like I’m talking to a brick wall?
She rubbed her brow, not in the mood to argue further.
"I’m not that petty. Why he broke up with you is something you should ask him, not me."
After saying that, Bella hung up the phone directly.
She lay back on her bed, feeling the burn of the wound on her back starting to hurt again.
The wound had already scabbed over, but now it seemed to be tearing and began to hurt again.
Bella felt a general discomfort, not the kind caused by a man, but a constant, nagging pain.
Lying there, Bella dozed off, half-asleep and half-awake.
Only when Mason Bennett returned did she fully wake up.
...
"Mason, any news about my parents?"
Bella watched the man at the closet, removing his tie, and asked.
Mason took off his tie, hung it up, then looked at her.
"Not yet, but Seal says they’re safe within the country. You don’t need to worry."
Mason thought for a moment before speaking.
Bella wasn’t suspicious, and continued asking.
"Who’s also searching for them? Do you know?"
She asked eagerly.
Ever since she learned she wasn’t a child of the Green Family, it seemed like her life had gotten complicated.
Louis Lawrence took off his jacket, walked to the bed, sat down, and gently ruffled Bella’s hair.
"I’ll take care of it. Don’t overthink."
Bella sat up, her expression not as relaxed.
"Tell me, I want to know."
The serious look in the girl’s eyes made Mason squint slightly, and he asked, "Did something happen?"
Bella’s eyes flickered; she didn’t expect Mason to catch on with just one question.
"No, I’m just curious. Who on earth are they hiding from, even to the extent of going abroad?"
Mason pursed his lips slightly, looking at her, and after a moment of silence,
He had indeed found some clues, but he wasn’t sure whether to tell her.
"Mason, this is my business, and I have the right to know. I know you want to protect me, but knowing nothing doesn’t equate to protection."
Indeed, knowing nothing doesn’t equate to protection.
"Alright, you want to know, so I’ll tell you."
Mason lifted his head and gently tidied the girl’s slightly messy hair near her ear, speaking softly.
