The Ex-Wife He Couldn’t Afford to Lose（224）

Chapter 224

Though Rosalind was evil, she came from a poor family and looked sickly. Thus, Bethany thought that she could easily defeat Rosalind with brute force if necessary.

C However, Bethany could not defeat Bella. That woman came from a prominent family and knew martial arts. If Bella reconciled with Justin, Bethany would become Bella’s punching bag in the future.

Thinking of this, Bethany secretly hatched a plan.

As they said, the enemy of her enemy was her friend. So, why not work together with Rosalind and sit back to watch Bella and Rosalind fight to the death?

After making up her mind, Bethany dialed Rosalind’s phone number.

“Rose! Justin brought Bella home, and the two of them looked so intimate. I’m afraid your position in Justin’s heart is gone now.”

Justin ordered the servants to come over and clean up Carrie’s room while Bella kept hugging and comforting Carrie.

“Carrie, don’t be scared. I’m right here.”

“Annie!”

Carrie was already 20 years old, but she had a form of autism that made her behavior seem a bit childish. She clutched Bella’s clothes tightly and stubbornly insisted. “Annie, please don’t leave. Can you please stay here? I really miss you…”

Bella felt a little embarrassed that she had not told Carrie about her true identity. Her back stiffened awkwardly.

Justin quietly watched their interaction and took a step forward, wanting to get closer to Bella.

“Mr. Salvador.”

However, Bella seemed to have eyes behind her back. She suddenly spoke in a cold voice, “I know you’re busy and that you hate this family. But you watched Carrie grow up. She has always respected you as a brother. If you still have a trace of kindness in your heart, please don’t turn a blind eye to Bethany bullying Carrie next time! If I find out that Bethany is bullying Carrie again, I will sue her for intentional assault.”

Justin was startled. He pursed his thin lips tightly.

He was usually too busy with work, so he spent very little time at home.

Justin did not know that Bethany was so cruel to her biological sister. The sisterly affection Bethany had for Carrie was just for show in front of their grandfather.

“I swear to you that this kind of thing will never happen again,” Justin said loudly.

“Why are you swearing to me? I’m not the one who got hurt.”

Justin was criticized again, but he was used to it by now.

Bella comforted Carrie for a while before she and Justin went to the room where she had stayed by herself for three years.

She walked to the bedroom and opened the closet. Everything that belonged to Anna was neatly arranged inside.

Bella thought of how much heart and soul she had poured into preparing these gifts for Justin. She thought of the lonely nights she spent doing handicrafts and how he had always neglected her when she brought these gifts to him. He would not even spare her a glance.

She was the only one carrying their relationship. Her heart was filled with sadness, and her red lips curled into a self-deprecating smile.

In the past, she was infatuated with this man.

Now, she only felt disgusted by him.

“Do you have a box? I came in a hurry and didn’t prepare anything. Please lend me a box so I can pack my clothes…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Bella felt his arm go over her head.

She raised her eyes in surprise and saw his fingers pressing on the cabinet door.

The delicate cufflinks on his suit flickered with a dark light. Bella shuddered and hunched her shoulders. She widened her eyes and asked, “Justin, what do you mean?”

Justin parted his thin lips and called out her name in a husky voice. “Bella.”

His deep and alluring voice seemed to trigger her nerves like a surge of electricity.

“If you want to take your things away, just answer my question. Why did you marry me back then?”
