"Mr. Jacob, according to the report I received from my people who investigated you, the money you need to pay to the company is worth a hundredfold the current value of your shares..."
Instantly, Jacob felt like his soul had betrayed him. He was shocked to hear Bella’s words.
Jacob couldn’t hide his worry. By doing this, this girl must have a backup and hold plentiful evidence against him. Someone, or some people, had helped her uncover their dark secrets. How could she know all of that?
When Jacob thought Bella would stop exposing and softly threatening him, he was wrong.
Bella continued, "And Mr. Jacob, please say goodbye to your family because soon you will live in prison for the rest of your life, with cases involving the attempted abduction of your niece, me. And, the case of Liam’s arrest, and—"
"STOP! STOP IT! I GET IT..." Jacob roared. He couldn’t stand hearing Bella expose him, especially with his father present.
Bella smiled with satisfaction at her progress. However, her smile faded when she noticed Jacob’s inaction and the furious gaze he directed at her.
An idea crossed her mind—to further provoke her evil uncle by adding fuel to the fire of his anger.
"Mr. Jacob, I have all the evidence needed to keep you in jail for a long time. Let’s not waste any more time here. I suggest you follow your equally despicable friend Bradley Caville’s example; he was wise to agree to sell ten percent of his shares at the current market price."
Once again, Bella’s words left everyone in the room shocked. It was difficult for them to believe that Bella had been able to persuade Bradley Caville to sell his shares at a low price.
Bella leaned back casually against the sofa while checking her cell phone, pretending to look for something. She was actually reading her group chat with Harper and the others. She ignored everyone’s gaze, who were still shocked by her actions.
"Mr. Jacob Donovan, I suggest you sign the paper now before I change my mind and make you miss Sunshine forever," Bella said without taking her eyes off her phone.
Jacob felt like he wanted to slap this young girl. How dare she do this to him? But, once again, his anger subsided when reality hit him; he was powerless. He had no choice but to swallow all his anger back into his stomach, lost in his own trance.
A few minutes passed, but Jacob remained glued to his place and didn’t say anything or move. Bella frowned as she looked up to see him.
"You seem to have decided to choose the hard way, Mr. Jacob Donovan..." Bella said in a pitiful tone while touching her earphones again, her gaze still locked with Jacob.
Shortly after, Bella could hear Stefan’s voice greeting her from the other end.
"Bro, you can prepare the news about Jacob Donovan having a mistress at the city border. You could also prepare to expose his teenage son’s detailed information. Let my dear aunty know everything about—" Bella’s words slowly faded when she heard her Grandpa furiously scolding Jacob.
"Heaven! What the hell are you doing, Jacob Donovan? Having another wife? How could you do that!?" Isaac Donovan was utterly shocked when he heard Bella’s words.
Not only was Isaac shocked, but Emma and Thomas were too. They never imagined their older brother had such a secret. They looked at Jacob with the same expression as their father—shocked and disbelieving.
Jacob Donovan gritted his teeth, feeling tired and frustrated talking to her. This girl was genuinely stubborn and cruel.
"Alright, I will sign. I will sign. Please make sure you don’t expose me!" Jacob said, glaring at Bella.
Bella still frowned, gazing at Jacob as if she were telling him through her sharp eyes, "Do it now, or I will send the evidence to your wife!"
Jacob Donovan grabbed the pen and signed the paper. In a moment, another 5 percent of Donovan Group became hers.
Bella could not hide her happiness at smoothly gaining all her enemy’s shares, almost without significant rejection. She took the paper and saw her uncle’s signature, smiling, satisfied.
After putting the folder in her bag, she took out another set and glanced at Thomas Donovan, who happened to see her with wide eyes and gasped.
She stifled a laugh, amused by his silly expression.
"Mr. Thomas, do you want to volunteer to transfer your 1 percent share, or do you want me to expose your dark secret too?"
"I will sign!" Thomas Donovan didn’t dare to deal with this sharp-tongued girl. He starts to believe that Bella could read people’s minds.
