A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 113

After the two sat down, Bella began discussing how to handle her father's visit with Jack.

However, she quickly realized that Jack was distracted—his gaze had been drawn to someone familiar inside the restaurant.

Following his line of sight, Bella spotted two young couples seated not far away. Among them were two familiar faces—Amelia and Queenie.

Jack didn't want to run into them, so he deliberately looked away. But Queenie still noticed them and began whispering to her boyfriend and Amelia.

Bella smirked. "Did you run into an old flame? Want to go over and say hi?"

Jack's voice was low and firm. "No need."

But Bella continued, "See that guy next to Amelia? That's her new boyfriend, Alex Shore. He comes from a well-off family, but he's not exactly a good person. I heard he used to borrow money from loan sharks to gamble."

Jack remained silent. Whatever happened to Amelia no longer had anything to do with him.

At that moment, Queenie pointed at them while whispering something to Amelia.

Amelia's face grew visibly pale.

Alex also took notice of Jack. A shadow crossed his face, and suddenly, he stood up and walked toward them.

Amelia panicked and hurried to stop him. "Alex, what are you doing? Come back."

But Alex ignored her, even pulling her along with him. "Come on, get close to me. Let your ex-boyfriend see how great your life is now."

Amelia obediently leaned on his shoulder, wanting Jack to see that she had found true love.

As they reached Jack's table, Alex glanced at Jack before flashing what he thought was a charming smile at Bella.
