Bride of Mr.Billion (Bella and Herbert) novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Bella’s POV:

I took a leave. At one o‘clock in the afternoon, I arrived at the Conrad Hotel. I delivered the gift I prepared and said a few words of birthday blessing to Uncle John. My father hasn‘t arrived yet. I don‘t want to see him and his lover happy. I plan to leave at this time. However, Aunt Carter stopped me. “Bella, we‘ll leave after lunch. There‘s another very important

guest coming!” “Which important guest?” I asked curiously. Uncle and Aunt Carter are both ordinary people, and their friends are just like us. How can there be any important guests?

“He‘s the son of a old comrade–in–arms of your Uncle John. Right, he‘s the new boss of your company. His name is... Herbert!” Aunt Carter excitedly replied. “What?” Aunt Carter‘s words shocked me greatly! It‘s Herbert again. Why do I have to run into him everywhere I go? Before I could react, I saw Herbert and my father‘s family coming in. I hate these people, so I just want to get out of here as soon as possible. But Aunt Carter pulled me to the VIP seats. When I sat down, I realized that my father‘s family, Herbert, and I were all at this table. I glanced at the person in front of me and found that the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

The woman who had once ruined my parents‘ marriage was named Connie Briden. The one next to her was her daughter, Emma Briden. She had big eyes, a high nose, a big chest, a very thin waist, and plump buttocks… Of course, these were not inborn.

They all relied on plastic surgery.

I suspect that every organ in her body has undergone plastic surgery.

Moreover, she was wearing heavy makeup. It was said that no one had ever seen what she really looked like.

Herbert sat on the opposite side of me coldly, and everything around him seemed to have nothing to do with him.

My father didn‘t seem to see me either.

I lowered my head and ate, as if I didn’t see anyone.

After all, there were very delicious dishes on the table, which I couldn‘t afford to eat.

“You can add my secretary in business,” said Herbert as he raised his head. In the face of Herbert‘s refusal, Emma did not give up and continued to say something. Connie suddenly looked at me and immediately painted her gun at me. “Bella, you‘re too rude. I‘m your elder anyway. Aren‘t you going to greet me?” Connie Briden must have been deliberately picking on me.
