Nobody could believe that such a seemingly well-educated gentleman who was born in a decent family was aiding and abetting human traffickers.
The girls thought he was a college student who was also on travel, so they trusted him.
But he betrayed their trust and sold them.
He originally didn't target Bella.
Bella's father was a businessman who enjoyed a good reputation in their hometown.
He came from the same city as she did. His mother, brothers, and sisters were still in the hometown. If he hurt Bella, he was worried that her father might hurt his family.
So he didn't do anything although he had many chances when he was with Bella.
But this time was different.
Bella wanted to run away on her own. Before he helped her, he told her to keep it a secret from her father.
At that time, Bella ached to run away, so she agreed without further thinking.
She just thought that he was worried that her father might blame him for helping her.
But now she finally realized it was a part of his scheme. As long as she kept it a secret, her father wouldn't know it was him who took her away.
When her father found she was missing, he might think that she refused to get married so she ran.
Even if her father was suspicious of her ex-boyfriend, he could easily deny it by a lie. Without any evidence, her father couldn't do anything about it.
In that case, her ex-boyfriend could continue to do his "business", while Bella's life was totally ruined.
If Felix hadn't bought her, she honestly had no idea what would happen to her next!
Thinking of that, she looked outside the window.
On the lawn not far away, a man in a black long-sleeved T-shirt came out and said something to Donald.
Donald stood there respectfully, with his head lowered a little, hands crossed at the front. It was a very respectful and humble posture.
The man who stood before him was tall and slender. Bella couldn't see his face clearly because of the distance.
But given what she saw, she felt he must be the man who brought her back here.
How could a man who was born in a small town and got his wife through human trafficking have such a big castle and a butler like Donald?
Bella didn't know Felix's real status at this moment. She could barely see his face, so she was very confused.
But obviously, Felix had no intention of explaining anything to her.
He told Donald in a deep voice, "Ask someone to send her back to Ambario tomorrow."
Donald was shocked.
He thought the girl that Felix brought back to the castle must be very important to him.
Even if she wasn't his future wife, she must be a close female friend to him.
Or a call girl!
A woman, even if she couldn't be the hostess of the castle, would be strong evidence that Felix was straight. He would even have kids if he wanted!
But now Donald was told that she was actually bought from human traffickers.
It meant that Felix was not in a relationship with her.
Felix brought her back simply because he didn't want her to be sold again in a strange place.
He didn't want to waste his time on her, so he told Donald to send her back to Ambario.
Without a woman, how could he have kids?
Donald felt quite disappointed.
