Chapter 228
Steven, the lapdog, was suddenly asked to be a guard dog, so he felt aggrieved.
After the door was closed, Bella walked straight to the sofa and sat down. Her beautiful legs were so fair that they were glowing. She rested her left arm on the armrest of the sofa and placed her right arm casually on her lap. She looked elegant and powerful. Ryan was overwhelmed by the sight.
His Adam’s apple bobbed, and his eyes widened. Bella had such a strong and noble presence.
Ryan loved her even more.
“Hehe… I knew that you wouldn’t kick me out, especially with our special relationship.”
Ryan squinted his charming eyes. Just as he was about to get closer, Bella suddenly said in a cold voice, “Ryan, did you think I was joking when I told you that I was not interested?”
Ryan suddenly stopped. He looked stunned.
“In the past, Anna Brown might have shown you some respect. After all, you had helped her. But Bella Thompson doesn’t have so much patience to deal with your antics.”
Bella’s eyes were estranged, as if they had never met before. Ryan shivered.
How could he be willing to give up so quickly? He took two steps forward, but Bella glared at him with sharp eyes, forcing him to freeze on the spot and shudder in fear.
“Although you’re Wyatt Thompson’s daughter, you’re still Anna Brown! How could a name change wipe out our friendship?”
“The moment Justin and I finalized the divorce, Anna Brown died and ceased to exist.”
Bella pursed her lips and said, “Neither you nor Justin are qualified to be in my life. Mr. Hoffman, you’re a romantic, so please save your heart for someone else. Don’t get hung up over me, because I will never fall in love with you.”
“Did I do something wrong? Tell me what I did wrong, and I will correct it!” Ryan was so anxious that his eyes turned red.
“There’s one more thing I should remind you of, Mr. Hoffman.”
Bella’s eyes turned gloomy. “Don’t think that I’m unaware of what you did to Carrie at Grandpa Nigel’s birthday party.”
Ryan’s face turned pale instantly. His blood felt stagnant as he replayed the events of that night.
He held Carrie’s bare shoulders in the bushes that night. Her delicate and pinkish skin teased his desires, and Carrie’s inexperienced and passionate kiss ignited his desires.
If Carrie were not Justin’s sister, and if Ryan had not loved Bella, he would have gone along with it.
Ryan was not a celibate person to begin with. Thus, he went along with his instincts.
“How you fool around with other women is none of my business, but I care about Carrie like a sister. She’s an innocent and inexperienced girl, so I won’t allow anyone to hurt her.”
“No, Bella, you misunderstood!”
Ryan did not know how to explain it. He was so anxious that his black shirt was soaked with sweat. ” She was drugged that night. I just…”
“Did you want to ‘help’ her?”
Ryan’s throat was blocked. What Bella thought of him became worse.
“We were at the Salvadors’ villa at the time. If something happened to Carrie, you could have informed the Salvador family. You didn’t have to sacrifice yourself to ‘help’ her.”
Bella laughed. Her eyes were filled with contempt. “Since you’ve done it, why don’t you even have the courage to admit what you did?”.
“I’m so wronged in this! She took the initiative to kiss and hug me! I didn’t do anything!” Ryan’s eyes were full of despair, but he could not defend himself in front of Bella.
Bella waved her hand and lost her patience. “Ryan, Carrie is different from us. She’s fragile and pitiful. You are used to being casual with women, so what you think is harmless may have completely ruined Carrie.”
Ryan’s body slumped in defeat. He realized that it was useless, no matter how hard he tried to explain himself.
That was because Bella had already labeled him as a scumbag.
Although he was indeed a scumbag, he did not want Bella to see him that way.
Perhaps it was useless to change his old ways. As soon as he turned over a new leaf, Bella accused him of something despicable.
“I still have work to do, so please leave. Also, if you show up at my office without making an appointment again, I will get security to kick you out. Steve, send Mr. Hoffman off!”
“Bella!”
Ryan was so anxious that he was about to explode. He strode in front of her, hoping to fight for the last chance to love her before she kicked him out.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
The moment his body approached Bella’s, Ryan heard a “swoosh”.
Bella pointed a gorgeous and discreet butterfly knife at the base of his throat
