hapter 185 Cutting Ties

Bella got up and left. She didn't understand why Dominic wanted to get involved in her affairs. His actions only put her under pressure as she feared it would trigger his annoyance and

resentment.

But as soon as she returned to her room, she received a message from him. It contained information about the situation around Simon's company, revealing why he was looking for

her.

After Simon's youngest daughter died, he and his wife were left without heirs. His company was a family business. Hence, all of the shares were held by a few relatives. Those relatives, all of whom had many sons, were eyeing Simon's portion.

Naturally, he refused to let anyone take his shares from him. So, he and his wife decided that although Bella was his illegitimate daughter, she was still his heir. Of course, they only wanted her as a pretend successor as she would never own any shares or money in the company.

After replaceing out the truth, Bella was furious. Every time Simon claimed to want to make amends, he always had ulterior motives. This made her wonder if he only saw her as nothing more than a tool.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became on behalf of her mother. Simon ruined her mother's and her life, making her ashamed of her identity for the rest of her life.

What made her more devastated was that Dominic knew the entire situation.

Bella could put up with the fact that he despised her or considered her invisible. However, nov that her flaws were revealed to him, she felt entirely vulnerable. It reminded her of the day he found the diary she had kept about him, leav humiliated and at a loss. After a night of thinking, she decided to meet with Simon and bring an end to everything.

The next day at the hospital, Simon continued to send her food. As Bella looked at the fancy. packaging, she found it absurd. She believed that Simon measured everything by money.

She unblocked his number and called him.

The call was picked up swiftly, and Simon's voice was brimming with excitement. "Bella, did you get the food I ordered for you? You must be tired at work. You should eat more, considering that you're so thin."

She didn't immediately burst his bubble. Instead, she asked, "Are you in Joville? Let's meet up.

Simon instantly replied, "I'm not in Joville currently, but I can come over. Just give me a time, and I'll be there."

He naturally treated her like a precious treasure since he wanted a favor from her. And she didn't mind taking advantage of that. "I only have time during my lunch break. If you can't make it, don't blame me for not meeting you." With that, she hung up directly without waiting for his reply.

A sudden thought crossed Bella's mind, stirring up a storm of emotions.

but

She needed to leave the Miller family and Dominic. She had planned this a long time ago, her plans were disrupted earlier. She couldn't stay any longer, and this was an opportunity to leave.

She had to leave, but she wouldn't actually go with Simon. She would only use him as

to leave the Millers and then cut ties with Simon.

a reason

Even though Dominic seemed to have changed his attitude toward her lately, she feared he was merely putting on a show of gentleness before hurting her.

At noon, Simon called her and arrived punctually at the hospital entrance to pick her up.
