Stefan couldn’t help but clap, satisfied with Bella’s epic plan for the company.
"You know what, sis? Now I really believe what Boss Jack always said..."
"What did he say?" Bella’s eyebrows slowly rose, curious to know what Jack had been saying about her to Stefan.
"Boss Jack said you are so ruthless in business. That’s why he needs you to take care of Quantum Capital in this country."
Bella was speechless.
"Jeez... what does he mean I’m ruthless? I’m not, alright?" A faint smile framed her face before continuing. "I only try to be nice to my enemies. I give them what they ask for—"
"Hahaha, alright, sis, you are not ruthless; you are only being nice."
"Yes, that’s the right word." Bella grinned.
"OK, sis, I will follow your plan." Stefan gave her an O sign with his fingers, confirming that he understood what she wanted.
After hearing Stefan confirm that he would carry out her plan, Bella was satisfied. She also told him that she could only return to East City after her mother’s surgery. Once she returns, she might stay for a few days to clean up the entire company.
After finishing talking about the Donovan Group, Stefan suddenly remembered Lucas Donovan.
"Sister, do you want to know about your father?"
Instantly, Bella’s eyes beamed with curiosity. She nodded, "Yes, please—"
"Your father is going crazy," Stefan stifled a laugh. "He’s still trying to find your mother. He sent many people to look for her. Your father seems to want to turn East City upside down."
Bella could only shake her head slowly while smiling, imagining her father venting his anger and frustration because he couldn’t find any trace of her mother.
"Sister, you need to be careful. It seems your father and brother are starting to suspect that you are the one who helped your mother. Your father asked people to look for you in this city..."
Her smile gradually faded when she heard that. "He sent people looking for me here?"
"Yes, that’s the information I found. Also, they are coming to this city to meet your grandfather. According to my collected data, they will arrive in this city tomorrow."
Instantly, Bella could feel her blood run cold, knowing her father would visit this city.
"Do they know my grandfather’s house address?" Bella asked, worried. Her mother’s location could be exposed if her father knew her grandfather’s address.
"I’m not sure—" Stefan didn’t have that information. He only knew that Bella’s father and brother had booked plane tickets to the capital tomorrow.
Bella asked if Stefan knew what exactly her father had discussed with her Grandpa over the phone. She was curious and worried because her Grandpa hadn’t mentioned anything to her about this.
It was odd because her Grandpa usually discussed things with her before making any decisions, especially concerning her father.
"Yes, but I didn’t hear their conversation. Because this relates to your Grandpa, you forbade me to do that, right?" Stefan explained. He knew there was communication between Lucas and Isaac Donovan, but he didn’t record or even listen in.
Bella nodded. She said nothing but took her cell phone out of her pocket and called her grandfather.
"Why didn’t Grandpa tell me?" Bella muttered softly, venting her worries to herself. "Father would know about me, Dax, and Mom..."
Nick immediately responded as if he knew Bella’s concerns. He said, "Young Miss, don’t worry, the Old Master won’t meet your father at this house but somewhere else."
Bella breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that.
"That’s good to hear, Nick. I hope Grandpa will keep my mother’s location a secret."
"I am sure he will. Young Miss, I’ll tell your grandfather you wish to see and talk to him as soon as he finishes lunch."
"That would be very nice of you, Nick. Thank you very much."
After ending the call, Leo entered the room and told them that lunch was ready.
Bella immediately followed Leo and Stefan, who were walking ahead of her. She was hungry and curious to try Sam’s cooking.
When she arrived at the dining area, Bella saw Harper sitting and smiling at her.
"Everything alright?" Harper whispered as soon as Bella sat beside her.
"Yes. Stefan just updated me about my family matters. You know about the Donovan Group, right?"
"Yeah, I heard about it yesterday from them. I feel sorry for you, girl. I hope you can sort things out soon—"
