After Bella thanked Stephan, Felix asked her to leave. After that, he asked Donald to serve some tea before continuing his conversation with Stephan.
They didn’t stop until the sunset.
Felix and Stephan walked out of the room together. Felix saw him to the door and said, "Mr. Zaccardi, since you've got plans for tonight, I won’t ask you to stay for dinner. Let’s talk it over next time."
Stephan nodded. Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "Felix, about the lady in your castle… If possible, I hope you’ll treat her well for me."
Felix raised his brows.
Obviously, it was improper and impolite for him to say so.
But Felix said nothing and nodded with a smile.
"Well, since you asked, I will."
Stephan paused.
He cast a deep look at Felix and left without saying anything.
Stephan’s car disappeared through the gate of the castle.
Looking in the direction the car pulled away, Ford walked up to Felix, frowning.
He asked curiously, "Do you think Mr. Zaccardi will swallow the bait, Mr. Bissel?"
Felix’s lips curved into a smile.
There was a gleam of cunning in his narrowed eyes.
"He will."
He would, as long as there was something relating to that woman, even if Bella just looked slightly like her.
Seeing that, Ford perked up and said no more.
Felix stood by the door for some time before he turned around and walked into the house.
At the same time…
This afternoon, Bella went to the main building, cried for some inexplicable reason, and went back in puzzlement.
She was still in a daze sitting in her room now.
Thinking of Felix’s stern face just now, Bella got nervous again.
What had she possibly done that upset him?
They had agreed before that he wouldn’t send her back, but why did he change his mind all of a sudden?
Had she done anything wrong that made him angry?
Sitting in her room, Bella pondered for a long time but failed to get an answer.
Finally, she had sudden enlightenment.
Could it be…
That fucking bitch!
It must be her.
Bella had lived a peaceful life before that woman left and came back injured. After that, Felix’s attitude towards her changed.
Felix was affectionate to her when he took her out playing golf last time.
But after that, she hadn’t seen Felix for some time. After that woman left and came back again, he was meaner to her than before.
And this time, he actually wanted to drive her away?
That woman must have said something about her to Felix!
It must be like this!
Queeny must have made up stories about her to Felix. Otherwise, Felix wouldn’t have changed his mind.
Bella was simmering with resentment as she thought about this.
