Billionaire’s Unseen Love (Bella and Alex)

Chapter 116

116 Unveiled Truths

In the quiet of the living room, Emma’s phone rang, breaking the silence. She recognized the number -

it was Alex’s. She hesitated but answered, her tone icy. “What do you want, Alex?”

Alex’s voice, tinged with shock and disbelief, came through. “I just spoke with Gable. He’s brother, isn’t

he? Why didn’t you ever tell me?”

your

Emma’s response was calm, almost amused by his ignorance. “It was never a secret, Alex. Just

something you never cared to notice.”

His confusion was palpable. “But… you saved me. You called Gable that day to save my life. Why stay

silent about it?”

“Alex, you’re missing the point, as usual” Emma sighed. “It wasn’t about gaining gratitude or holding it

over you. It was simply the right thing to do at that time.”

The conversation shifted as Alex, grappling with this new information, asked about a past debt he owed

Emma, one he couldn’t remember. His earnestness was evident, but Emma saw no point in revisiting a

forgotten chapter.

“It’s irrelevant now, Alex,” she said firmly. “Let’s leave the past where it belongs.”

“But I need to know. I owe you, and I can’t just leave it at that,” Alex persisted, his voice strained with a

mixture of guilt and desperation.

Emma ended the call abruptly, leaving Alex with several unanswered questions and a heavy heart. As

she hung up, her family’s curious eyes fell upon her.

“I had to answer. It was a business line,” Emma explained with a hint of frustration. She knew avoiding

Alex entirely would be challenging, but necessary.

The family sat down to dinner, an air of discomfort lingering. Gable, still reeling from his own actions,

voiced his concerns. “I should have known sooner. Emma, why didn’t you tell me?”

“I didn’t think it mattered. But now I see it does,” Emma replied, her voice laced with a tinge of regret.

Gable’s frustration was evident. “I’m planning to set up my lab here. I want to integrate my medical

expertise with the AI work you’re doing. We can’t let outsiders manipulate us anymore.

Emma nodded, understanding the need for stronger defenses against those who wished to harm them.

The conversation shifted to plans and strategies, but the undercurrent of tension remained, a reminder

of the challenges they still faced.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
