Bride of Mr.Billion

Chapter 154

Bella’s POV:

My mind went blank, and I was in a daze.

“Bella, don’t be like this. I’m very worried about you.”

I turned to look at Joey blankly and said, “This morning, he left a message saying that he would

hange in just a few hours? Why did he do that? What the hell is going on?”

In

Joey lowered her eyes and remained silent for a moment. Then, she said, “Wake up, Bella. Maybe we were wrong from the very beginning. We thought that Herbert would fall in love with you and cherish you. But in fact, we forgot our identities. We are all commoners. Even if a rich man like Herbert has a good impression of a commoner, he will only play with her feelings. He won’t really get married with her!”

These words pulled me back to reality. I cried out in pain, “He doesn’t need to marry me or love me. Why would he lie to me?”

I clenched my fists and hit on the iron chair hard.

I was agitated. Joey hugged me and comforted me. “Bella, don’t hurt yourself. Forget him! There will be a better life in the future. Just pretend that this person has never appeared in your life.”

My whole person was still wrapped in sadness. My hopes and my happiness, were all shattered. This morning, I was still imagining the future life of Herbert and I. But now, he was going to be the husband of another woman. I hugged Joey and cried. Joey held me in her arms and patted me on the back. The days when I was with Herbert kept flashing in my mind. In the end, I noticed the diamond ring on my left

hand. Tears blurred my sight, but everything that happened yesterday flashed clearly in my mind. Then I suddenly looked up from Joey‘s arms. “No! I don’t believe it’s true. There must be a reason!” Joey wiped my tears with a tissue. “What do you want to do?” “I want to ask him personally. I have to know what happened!” I said stubbornly.

Joey replied, “Herbert is not in the company now. He should be with Caroline. Why don’t I go with you to find him and see what he’s going to say?” “Thank you, Joey.” I nodded.

Joey sighed. “You’re my best friend. There’s no need to thank me. I’ll go with you!” “You’re the best, Joey.” I held Joey’s hand tightly. Then, I took out my cell phone, hesitated for a moment, and dialed Herbert’s number. Ring… Ring… The phone rang for more than a dozen times. When I was about to hang up, the phone was connected.

14:04D “Hello?”

At the other end of the phone came Herbert’s deep voice, and I instantly became nervous. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Then, there was a burst of silence. None of us spoke.

Two minutes later, I broke the silence. “Where are you? I want to see you immediately!”

He hesitated for a moment before saying, “I’m at home. Come over.”

I could hear the alienation in Herbert’s tone on the phone, which hurt my heart. Then I hung up the

phone.

“How is it?” Joey asked with concern.

“He told me to meet him at his place,” I replied.

“I’ll go with you,” Joey said.

“I’ll go myself.” I refused.

“No, I have to go with you. If you go alone, you may be bullied by them,” Joey said.

Joey’s words reminded me. Yes, them!

Perhaps she was in Herbert’s house.

Then, I nodded. Joey called a taxi. I got in the car with Joey sadly and rushed to Herbert’s house.

Joey accompanied me to Herbert’s house.

I looked at the tightly shut door. I was a little scared. I didn’t know what to do if Caroline was by Herbert’s side.

At this moment, my heart seemed to be grabbed by a pair of big hands. Joey held my hand tightly. “Don’t be afraid. It’s not your fault. They’re the ones at fault.” After that, Joey pressed the doorbell for me. Soon, someone came in and opened the door. Miranda opened the door and saw me standing outside. She couldn’t help but feel dumbfounded. “Miss Stepanek, you came?” Miranda asked.

“We’re here for Herbert,” Joey said as she pulled me through the door.

Entering Herbert’s house, I found that the carpet, curtains, and all the decorations on the ground were still the same as when I left.

I looked at everything that I once arranged, and my emotions were more complicated. My eyes were a little wet. At this time, the sound of high heels could be heard. I turned around and saw Caroline walking out of the bedroom.

Although I had already guessed it, I was still shocked when I saw her appear in Herbert’s house with my own eyes!

Caroline said mockingly, “Miss Stepanek, I truly admire you for being able to trample upon your dignity.”

Caroline’s attitude hurt me.

I wasn’t in the mood to argue with her. I said, “Where’s Herbert? I want to see him!”

Caroline crossed her arms in front of her chest and continued, “Bella, if I were you, I would leave

immediately. Herbert doesn’t want to see you at all. If you do this, you will only make yourself feel more humiliated!” I didn’t want to listen to Caroline.

I turned around and was about to go inside to look for Herbert, but Caroline immediately stopped me!

“What do you want to do?” Caroline shouted at me. “Herbert, come out!” I shouted in the direction of the bedroom.

Joey rushed over and pushed Caroline away. She pointed at her and said, “This is not your home. What right do you have to say this? You and Herbert haven’t officially gotten married yet, and you’re not the hostess here yet!”
