Chapter 419
Henry lashed out at Bella as if she had killed his mother.
Steven turned red, but Bella did not take the remarks to heart. She curled her lips and said with a smile, “Tsk. Interesting.”
“What did you say?” Henry became flustered.
“I meant to say, Xena is interesting.” Bella took another piece of chocolate.
Steven smiled dotingly to himself when he noticed they were running low on sweets.
“You have only known Xeña for two months, but she has you wrapped around her little finger. You are willing to risk your future and fight against the rich and powerful for her.
“Tsk. Tsk. I should learn from Ms. Gordon.”
“You have no right to speak ill of Xena! You’re the vile wo thinks you own everybody because you have money. Xena w have her family to lean on if it were not for you. You ruined he Henry shouted in an outburst. “You people with money are the b of society!”
Steven did not get it. Bella could just turn Henry in to the police instead of wasting her breath with the hopeless romantic..
“I don’t mind you ripping into me. It’s not like I can stop you. My father survived the criticism and more than one assassination because he has power and money.”
Bella’s eyes were cold. “But you gave my family bad business, so don’t blame me for going after you.
I’ve always been the type to reward those who are loyal to me. Nothing good ever happens to those who go against me.”
Fear washed over Henry as he shuddered.
Bella’s presence made his hair stand “I know you want to make sense of the whole thing, so I’ll tell you.
Xena was never in love with you. She only used you because you work for KS Group.”
“Shut up! Shut up! Don’t try to tear us apart!”
With Bella’s words getting to him, Henry screamed like an animal. “I did everything to help with Xena’s revenge plan! Don’t try to throw mud on her! Don’t try to frame her!”
Bella looked at him indifferently and ordered Steven to turn on the TV.
