My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 512

Bella stared at her brother and asked curiously, "How is your condition, brother? Are you feeling better now?"

Emma and Natalie were also looking at Henry.

Henry was surprised to hear Bella finally talking to him. He smiled at her, "Thank you for asking, Sister. Yes, I feel better now. The doctor also said I’m healthy and can do normal activities, but must avoid lifting heavy things. Not for another couple of months or so," he explained.

"Glad to hear that," Bella said. "So, are you ready to work?"

"Yes, sister. I’m ready. Please assign me any work, sis. I promised you I would do better and give my all."

Henry’s eyes shone. Finally, he has the opportunity to prove to his sister and mother that he can change for the better. He does not want to disappoint them, especially after hearing what happened to their uncles. He didn’t plan to be his sister’s enemy because if he did that, he might end up like his uncle, penniless.

Bella didn’t say anything right away. She glanced at her mother, who looked tense, waiting for her comment. So did Henry.

"Aunty," Bella looked at Emma, "Is the first office of The Donovan Group that grandfather built in Lake View Village still active?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Emma immediately nodded, "Yes. That’s a sub-branch office now, and it will never be closed even though there is not much work there anymore. It’s too historical for our group to be closed down."

"Yes, I agree. Would you mind sending my brother to work at that office? And please make sure no one knows about his true identity," Bella instructed.

Emma was taken aback by Bella’s words but didn’t question her request. As the company’s CEO, she must comply with the biggest shareholder’s orders.

"Yes, consider it done, dear..." Emma said.

"Thank you, Aunty," Bella smiled at her before turning to her brother.

"Brother, you seem uninterested!?" Bella asked, slightly frowning when she saw him gasping in shock. "So you didn’t like that I sent you to a remote place like Lake View Village?"

Henry quickly shook his head.

"No, sister. I like it. I just can’t believe you sent me there. I heard that the place is quite stable. I thought you would send me to the troubled office to deal with, but you sent me to the office with less work." He said.

Henry wasn’t sure the company could make money because the village was small, and most of the land was owned by rich people. What he had heard in the past was that their office in Lake View Town rarely got a project, and they were making money from the projects near the town.

"That’s why I sent you there: to revive that company and make it profitable and have so much work again like in the past," Bella smiled, seeing her brother looking confused. "Are you skeptical that a small town like that can’t make money?"

Bella continued speaking when she noticed her brother’s silence.

After chatting about the company with Henry, Bella excuses herself to her mother and aunt. She is curious to join Tristan, but her steps stop when Leo and Dana arrive.

She greets them, "Leo, Dana, thank you for coming. You can find your seats and enjoy the beverages and sweets over there. We will start lunch after all the guests arrive."

"Don’t mind us, Boss. I will greet the birthday boy first," Leo answers Bella and leads Dana to meet Dax.

Leo ignores the sharp glare from his Boss, Jack, in the corner; he doesn’t want to meet him now. He is still annoyed with him after reading his text message. Jack plans to cut his year-end bonus for unreasonable reasons, such as breaking office rules—no romantic relationships in the office—by dating his secretary. How shameless!

...

Bella joined Tristan and the others, wondering why they were chatting so intensely.

However, as soon as she settled beside Tristan, they stopped speaking; they all looked worried she might overhear their conversation.

"Why are you guys stopping?" Bella asked, narrowing her eyes and looking at each of them one by one, starting with Tristan and Sam and ending with Jack, who sat on her other side.

"You guys look suspicious. Are you hiding something from me?" she continued, now focusing her gaze on Tristan.
