Bride of Mr.Billion (Bella and Herbert) novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71

Caroline‘s POV Since I came back from Europe, he has been very cold to me. Although he had helped me a lot because of our friendship in the past, I always felt that there seemed to be a great distance between him and I I made some efforts for this. I successfully caused Bella and Herbert to burst into a quarrel. That woman named Bella was just an ordinary commoner. What right did she have to compete with me?

Herbert cared more about that woman than I had imagined. I had confidence in myself. I grew up with Herbert, and we once loved each other. I thought that he would come back to me sooner or later.

But I didn‘t expect that a few months had passed.

But there was still no improvement, and Herbert and that woman had not divorced yet. Just now, when I was on the phone with Herbert, he was very impatient. He did not say where he had gone to. But I could roughly guess that he must have gone to see Bella. This was too infuriating. In a few months, the woman‘s child would be born. Did I have to witness the happy life of Herbert, the child, and other women? This was absolutely intolerable. I threw my phone on the bed angrily, and then I fell on the bed. I laid in bed and stared at the ceiling for a long time. Suddenly, an idea came to my mind. The next day, I dressed in a milky white dress and rang the doorbell of the Wharton house. The person who came to open the door was a maid I didn‘t know.

It was normal that she didn‘t know me. After all, when I had often visited the Wharton house, this maid hadnt appeared yet. “Miss, who are you looking for?‘ asked the maid. I‘m here to pay a visit to Mrs. Wharton. I‘d like to trouble you to inform her that Caroline is here to Visit I was very confident

*Please wait a moment. The maid was about to close the door. I added, “By the way, tell Mrs. Wharton that I came here from Herbert‘s place.” *Alnight. The maid hurriedly reported. Just as I had expected, two minutes later, I was invited into the Wharton house However, I was not invited into the living room. Instead, I was arranged to sit in front of a stone table in the yard, but there was at least a cup of tea for me.

This kind of treatment could be regarded as indifferent, but I was not surprised at all.

But I didnt come here today to seek any good treatment. As long as she was willing to see me, would have a chance to achieve my goal.

Five minutes later, McKenna had yet to come out from the room. I wasn‘t surprised at all. I knew her well Mrs. Wharton was a very pretentious rich woman. No matter who they were, she had to put on air before coming out.

I leisurely drank up the tea in my cup, and then McKenna came out of the room in exquisite clothes. Seeing her walking over, I rose to my feet and laughed. “Mrs. Wharton, it‘s been so many years since we last met, but you are still so young and beautiful!”

I put the gifts I brought in advance on the stone table and said with a smile, “These are some gifts brought back from Europe. Please accept them.” McKenna didnt take my gift. She just sneered. “I didn‘t expect you to still remember me after so many years. “You‘re Herbert‘s mother. Of course I‘ll keep it in mind all the time.” I said. There was a hint of pride on her cold face. You‘ve already met Herbert?” ‘Yes.” I nodded.

“You should know that Herbert is married, and his wife Bella is pregnant. Herbert is about to become a father.” I knew her very well. The reason she told me this was definitely not because she liked Bella very much.

It was just to make me angry. But I was not very angry. I had my own purpose. “He told me all this.” I nodded with a calm expression. The expression on Mckenna‘s face was a bit surprised. Since you already know, why are you still looking for me? I chuckled, then took out a photo from my bag and placed it in front of her. Staring at her face, I said, “When I returned home, I packed up the room and accidentally saw this photo from back then. That‘s why I wanted to bring it over and hand it over to Mrs. Wharton in person.” Just as I had expected, the proud and calm expression on her face suddenly became very unsightly. She glared at me, looking very angry. But there was still a maid, so she did not get angry and said, “Anne, I suddenly want to eat some cherries. Go buy some.” “Got it.” Anne, who was sweeping the yard, quickly took the bag and went out.

She actually sent the maid away? Seeing that I had grabbed hold of her sore spot, I felt very happy. Because I knew that I had already succeeded by half. After Anne left, she tore the photo in her hand in anger. I couldn‘t help but laugh. “Mrs. Wharton, I still have a lot of this photo. You won‘t be able to tear it all to shreds.”
