Chapter 418
Bella‘s POV:
Herbert sneered. “Are you interested in that 50–year–old man?”
These words made me angry.
I yelled, “What did he do to annoy you? Why do you want to make his company go bankrupt? You‘re too overbearing!”
“What did he do to annoy me? He called my woman out to get drunk. He was obviously trying to do something to you.”
“Of course, I have to teach such a terrible old man a lesson,” Herbert said angrily.
“What do you mean by your woman? I am only your ex–wife.”
“Am I your subsidiary? Or do I have your name on me? I was just eating with a client. Why did you say such unpleasant words?” I was very dissatisfied with him.
This man was simply too detestable.
Herbert was even angrier. “What kind of ambiguous relationship do you have with that man? Even if you want to find another man, why do you want to find an old man in his fifties? Do you want to prove that I am not as good as an old man in his fifties?”
These words made me even angrier. I raised my hand and was about to hit Herbert in the face. “You‘re shameless!”
Herbert suddenly reached out and grabbed my wrist.
“Am I shameless, or are you shameless?” Herbert‘s tone became more fierce.
The look in Herbert‘s eyes was very vicious, like that of an enraged beast.
I knew his temper. If I continued to fight against him, I didn‘t think I could save John‘s company.
I couldn‘t trigger him anymore.
John was a good person. He helped me a lot.
I couldn‘t make his company go bankrupt because of me.
“Can you be reasonable? It was just a coincidence the first time when I had a meal with him.”
“The second time, it was because he helped me a lot. Out of politeness, I had to thank him. As for getting drunk, it was just because I was in a bad mood that I got drunk. It has nothing to do with Mr. Hall, isn‘t it a bit too much to vent your anger on him?” I tried to soften my tone and reason with Herbert
I hoped he would listen to me seriously and would not continue to be overbearing
Herbert grabbed my wrist, narrowed his eyes, and asked, “Did you ask him for help? What did he help you with?
I took a deep breath and finally said, “It‘s Betty She divorced Hank and suffered from severe depression. The doctor suggested that she go to a sanatorium in the southern suburbs of City A for treatment.”
“But they don‘t take a lot of people in the sanatorium Mr Hall happens to be a good friend of the director of that sanatorium, so I asked Mr. Hall to register for Betty Mr Hall helped me very Chapter 11e

enthusiastically, so Betty could live in the sanatorium. It‘s this simple. Do you have anything else to
ask?
At the end of my words, my tone was not good, and I also felt pain in my wrist. He exerted great force.
I skipped telling him something. I didn‘t tell him I only knew that Mr. Hall was close to the director of the sanatorium after I asked him for help.
I could tell that Herbert was very disgusted with Mr. Hall, so I could only say this. I hoped he wouldn‘t make things difficult for Mr. Hall again.
Herbert narrowed his eyes. “The sanatorium in the southern Suburbs that specializes in treating mentally ill people?”
“Yes.” I nodded.
At this time, the look in Herbert‘s eyes was very cold, and the strength of his big hand holding my wrist increased.
I couldn‘t help frowning in pain. I didn‘t what I said wrong again. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
At this moment of confusion, Herbert spoke. “Bella, what kind of person do you think I am? Why didn‘t you tell me that you were in trouble? Instead, you went to find another man to help you. You would rather drink with him than come to me. Are you so afraid of contacting me?”
“... don‘t mean that.”
Of course, I couldn‘t admit that I didn‘t want to talk to him. He was out of control now, so I couldn‘t irritate him.
“That‘s not what you meant? Why did you do that then?” Herbert‘s sharp eyes stared at me, making me a little out of breath.
“Let go of me first... Will you?” I felt that my wrist was about to be crushed.
But now, Herbert seemed to have completely lost control of his emotions. “You‘ve been so cold to me recently. Is it because you‘ve taken a fancy to that old man?”
These words were unacceptable to me, and I immediately replied, “Herbert, you are slandering me!”
At this moment, Herbert‘s eyes were a little red. When he stared at me, I only felt terrified.
I thought he would do something to me, but the next second, I was forced to be kissed.
*Wuwu...” His sudden kiss surprised me. Soon, when I reacted, I began to resist.
However, the more I resisted, the angrier he became. He kissed me fiercely, making my lips pain.
I was pressed against the tall desk, and his big hands were fixed on the back of my head and waist.
I couldn‘t move at all
He was like a meat wall i tried my best but failed to push him away. In the end, my arm was numb because of suffocation and I could only let him do what he wanted…
At this time, the door of the office was suddenly opened!
Then came the sound of a broken coffee cup
Finally, Herbert let go of me I looked up and saw the secretary who had stopped me at the door staring at us with a pair of stunned eyes
At this mornent, the posture of me and Herberi was really ambiguous I quickly pushed him away
10051 However, he did not move at all. His hands were still holding my shoulders, but his face was as black. He roared in the direction of the door, “Who let you in?” “...Mr. Wharton, I‘m here to deliver coffee,”
The secretary said, trembling with fear. At this moment, she was very embarrassed. Her feet were full of brown coffee liquid, and her skirt was splashed with coffee liquid.
My face was a little red. Someone was here, but he still refused to let me go. I half sat on the desk. I wore a short skirt today, and a pair of slender legs were exposed. Moreover, I was so embarrassed to be seen by the secretary. She would probably think that I came here to seduce Herbert.
