No Chance of Remarriage Get Lost (Elisa)
Chapter 1821

Chapter 1821 Deep Resentment

As she recalled what happened just now, Bella's hands started to tremble again. One of the police officers passed

her a blanket, but she continued to shiver in fear.

"Did the stranger say anything?" Elisa inquired.

Bella shook her head. "I tried to warn the person that I had already called the police, and they were on their way. I

asked who it was, but they continued to knock on the door vigorously without replying to a word I said," Bella's voice

quavered weakly, her breath growing thin and ragged. Her eyes had widened so large, and her body froze as if

being pulled back to her memories of what had happened. She buried her head in her arms, struggling to figure out

why this was happening to her.

The police officer at the side helped her explain, "The person ran away as soon as we arrived. They had been trying

to smash open the bathroom door with a hammer. They would have gotten to her if we had arrived a few minutes

later."

Elisa felt her stomach churn at the thought. She felt terrible that Bella had to go through this. She hugged Bella and

reassured her again, "You're okay now."

Bella had never been this emotionally distraught, even when her ex-fiancé and best friend betrayed her. It was all

down to the pressure of being alone in a different city, getting oppressed by the executives in the company, and

getting so close to death that all the compounded stress opened up her bottled-up emotions like a broken dam. She

just wanted to cry and let it all out.

Even Gareth, who usually appeared cold and distant, couldn't help but pity his cousin. His eyes softened as he

stared at her, thinking about who might've done this to her.

But according to Bella, this wasn't even the first time that something like this had happened.

Bella's phone call in the middle of the night was because she noticed someone following her. She also received a

bouquet from an anonymous sender. She never thought much about it but suddenly realized everything could be

connected. The flowers weren't sent as a sign of love or admiration but as a threat.

Elisa's face darkened. "Bella just moved to Bayswe. There's no way she could have made an enemy here in such a

short period. Even if she did, they wouldn't have such deep resentment towards her. If we narrow down the

possibilities, there's only one person..." Elisa trailed off, not wanting to say the name out loud.

She shot a glance at Gareth, signaling for him to follow her outside so they could talk privately.

Bella was in a very vulnerable state, so Elisa wanted to stay by her side. She also didn't want to say anything that

might trigger her.

Hence, Elisa stayed by Bella's side and waited for her to fall asleep before leaving.

Gareth was leaning against the wall by the door, smoking a cigarette. His right hand was on the railing, and his body

was slightly curved forward. He held the cigarette in his left hand and let out puffs of smoke from his mouth. The

smoke from his cigarette obscured his face, making it impossible to read his emotions.

When he saw Elisa exiting the room, he stubbed out his cigarette in the trash can and stood up.

"How is she?" Gareth's tall, lean frame stepped closer to Elisa, casting a shadow over her features.

Elisa stared at him, wondering if she should tell him he didn't need to put out his cigarette. She decided to keep it to

herself.

"She's asleep," she said.

Gareth nodded. "That's good."

Elisa didn't say a word as she leaned against the wall, mirroring Gareth's posture from a moment ago.

Gareth stood before her, his eyes glinting with curiosity. "What were you going to say just now?"

Elisa kept quiet momentarily, her eyes slowly lifting to meet his. "Bella just moved to Bayswe. Although she can

sometimes be a little reckless, she would never go overboard. I don't believe anyone would have such deep hatred

towards her that they would plot something like this to scare her. Only one person in Bayswe would do something

like this."
