Chapter 99 Surprise
Breenda’s fingers turned pale as she cripped the sheets very liard.
Even though she was scared of not getting the answer she wanted, there was still a hint of anticipation within her.
But this time, Bentley did not say anything Instead, he released her hand coldly and pushed the door open without a backward glance.
Audrey and Viola, who were chatting on the sofa outside, were shocked at the sight of Bentley’s terrifying expression.
Audrey hurried to ask, “Mr. Bentley, what’s … the matter?”
Bentley ignored her and looked at Viola. “You knew that she was pretending”
Was Bentley … really angry?
This was the first time Viola saw Bentley like this.
She blinked her eyes guiltily.”…”
Bentley didn’t want to hear her explain. Instead, he strode downstairs and left.
Viola wanted to catch up, but Audrey pulled her back to Breenda’s ward.
Breenda’s eyes were red. It seemed like she had just cried and was in a vile mood.
Audrey pounced on her with a pained expression. “My dear daughter, I have warned you. Bentley is cold by temperament, and he will not like you. But you insisted on confessing your love. See! Now you are hurt!”
Breenda bit her lip and remained silent.
Audrey knew that Breenda had always been stubborn and nothing could stop Breenda once she had made a decision. Therefore, Audrey turned around to beg Viola.
“Viola, help Breenda for the sake of our friendship. Since you could ask Mr. Bentley to come to Washington, you must know how to keep him here as well!”
Viola shook her head with a serious expression. “I can’t. He is a principled man. No one can make him change his
mind, not even me.”
Viola knew it sounded ruthless to Breenda, but she had to say it plainly like this.
That way, Breenda could give in sooner. Now, Breenda was on her own to think it through.
Audrey sighed in disappointment.
Then Viola turned around, wanting to leave since she was of no help here anyway.
“Viola!”
Breenda stopped her and asked uncertainly, “Will you be my love rival?”
Audrey was numb with shock. She could still vividly recall how Anaya ended up,
Viola stood in silence for a few seconds.
But without further explanation, she turned around and left.
Russell was waiting for her in his car outside the Callis vill…
She walked strailit over, opened the door, and sat in the back row.
Noticing that Viola looked solemn, Russell rubbed her head rently,
“Wut happened? Who irritated iny little princess?”
Viola look
discourard. “It was I who irritated someone, and by someone, I mean Bentley.”
Russell laughed. “Silly girl, you didn’t do anything wrong in tliis. Bentley has been engrossed with medical research all these years and stayed away from all women. Dad has been scolding him for this. It seems that only your words work miracles for liet.”
**But he is angry…”
Russell shook his head. “You don’t understand him. Despite looking cold, he is actually shy. Anyway, you don’t have to worry about this. If he and Breenda are meant to be together, they will eventually.”
Viola breathed a sigh of relief.
But something seemed to have flitted through Russell’s mind. His expression became serious.
“Viola, there is something that I need to tell you… It’s been on my mind for quite a while…”
Noticing that Russell turned serious, Viola looked solemn as well.
“It’s about … your ex-husband.”
Viola thought, Orlando?
Hasn’t the guy gone missing? I’ve sent the Dark Bell to track him down, which turned out to be a vain attempt. What! krow is that Orlando disappeared all of a sudden the day before the press conference
“You’ve found him?” Viola asked suspiciously.
