He had always been so perfect for her, as if they were soulmates.
But she had to face the truth no matter how difficult it was.
Bella forced down the overwhelming dread and confusion. She showed no hesitation as she got down from the bed and walked towards the next room.
Elisa glanced at Gareth, signaling him to bring Keith along.
Gareth arched an eyebrow, dumbfounded by her behavior. She must think of him as a bodyguard now.
She was the only person who would dare to order him around.
Despite how baffled he felt about the situation, he followed her orders.
She didn't have to be wrapped up in this situation in the first place.
It was his family matter, after all.
Nonetheless, he had no tolerance for Keith.
He glared at him, his eyes dripping with cold fury as he demanded, "Get up!"
Keith nearly leaped out of his skin. His heart was pounding in his chest as he shot up on his feet.
Within a short moment, Bella stood in front of the door of the next room.
Bella's hands trembled as she reached for the doorknob.
She shut her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart. She knew what was behind the door and wasn't sure if she was ready to face it.
Elisa stood by her side, her lips pressed together tightly. She didn't say a word as she waited patiently for Bella.
Bella opened her eyes and looked at the doorknob.
He had always been so perfect for her, as if they were soulmates.
She could see their memories etched into brass, and a bitter sense of pain coiled around her heart.
As her mind flooded with their memories together, she slowly recoiled her hands from the doorknob.
Unfortunately, they couldn't hear the commotion going on outside.
When Gareth realized what his intentions were, he kicked him with a force so strong he had to lie on the ground, wincing in pain.
"Forgive?" Bella raised her brow in disbelief as if she had heard the biggest joke of the century. "When did I say I would forgive you?" she hissed icily, cutting through his lies like a knife.
Her eyes narrowed into slits, boring into Keith's soul.
"Keith," she snarled, "do you think I'm a fool? You and your sister have been scheming behind my back for years, stealing from the company. Do you think I didn't know? I kept quiet to save you some face, but that doesn't mean I wasn't aware of what you were doing."
Bella glared at Keith, her eyes full of fury. Her words were like a sharp sword, cutting through his defenses. Keith staggered back, taken aback by her anger.
She should have exposed them long ago, but her soft heart had prevented her from doing so.
Elisa raised her brows in amusement. "Do you have something planned?" she asked.
Bella took a deep breath to calm herself down before she stared at Elisa with a sincere gaze. "Gareth, Elisa, thank you for everything today," she replied. "I can handle everything else from here. Hand him to me."
