"I can also be cruel, but I don't want to do that," Bella said painfully.

"You're new to society, and you don't understand how dark human nature is. Bella, you must not be merciful towards your enemies. The more Rosia cares about something, the more you need to take that away from her." Ben really didn't want Bella to be hurt anymore.

"What Rosia cares about the most is money." Bella stared blankly at him, "Ben, what should we do to make her lose everything?"

"She will reveal her true colors if she knows that your father is on the verge of bankruptcy," Ben said coldly.

"Can you help me? I really want to see what she will do when she knows that my father is running out of money and is facing a huge debt." Bella desperately wanted to know.

"Alright. I'll do this for you when we get back tomorrow. But you have to think about the consequences. Your father has spent most of his life in the business world. He's also an old fox. If he replaces out about me, will he hate you?" Ben felt that making Beck broke was a little risky. Bella wanted to bankrupt his father.... Well, it seemed a little immoral.

Bella squeezed her hands tightly, "You promised me that you would help him get up if he faced bankruptcy, didn't you?"

Ben nodded, "Yes, I promised. But no one would know your father's thoughts."

"I can't care for so much. I just want him to see who Rosia really is." Bella had no choice. Rosia was rich and powerful now, and she had hurt her time and time again. Bella didn't want to be a coward. "Alright. If you have made up your mind, I'll help you," Ben said in a low voice.

After they had the conversation, Bella trembled. He had helped her so much. Shouldn't she pay for it?

"I... I'm going to take a bath." Bella stood in the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. Her young and plump body seemed to be her last bit of capital.

She took two deep breaths. Ben treated her well, and he was willing to help her take revenge on Rosia. To do that, he would have to consume a lot of money and energy.

Bella pulled off the towel beside her and wrapped her body up before walking out.

Ben was sitting in the living room. When he saw Bella coming out with only a bath towel on her, he almost choked on the water he just drank.

He couldn't help but fix his dark gaze on her, as if a wolf staring at a delicious prey.

Bella's fair back and her beautiful collarbone were exposed in the air. Her pair of slender and straight legs were faintly visible, making it impossible for Ben to move his eyes away. "Bella, where did you learn it from?" Ben seemed to have guessed her intentions. He leaned lazily on the sofa and questioned her.

Bella was actually embarrassed and somewhat uneasy. Hearing his words, she subconsciously tightened the towel on her body in case it fell off.

"Ben, I've figured it out. I... I want to be with you...in that way," Bella hinted. She was afraid that Ben couldn't understand what she was doing or that he was too embarrassed to ask her.

Ben chuckled.

Bella was stunned for a moment, her face flushed red, "What are you laughing at? I'm serious."

"Idiot." Ben couldn't help but scold her, "Have you really thought it through? Aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my word halfway?"

"You won't." Bella's heart skipped a beat, "I believe you."

Ben had wanted to strike a blow at her, but his heart sank when he looked into her sincere eyes.

"Even if you believe me, don't show your bottom line so easily. You don't have to guard against me, but what about the others?" Ben stood up and walked towards her, "To be honest, I do want you. But not now."

"Then... when?" Bella's pretty face was burning with shame. How could she ask such a shameful question?

"When this matter is over, let's be together." Ben did not want to take advantage of her at this time. He was a gentleman with patience. He knew that restraint and time were needed for beautiful things like Bella.

"Alright." Bella was so embarrassed.

"You can sleep in the master bedroom. I'll sleep in the guest room. Good night." Ben had already tried his best to restrain his desire. If she did not leave soon, he was afraid that he would directly push her down.

Bella nodded, turned around and walked into the master bedroom. She left the door open.

Ben let out a sigh of relief before turning around and entering the guest room.

Bella lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. She did not know how to define men anymore.

The next morning, Bella followed Ben back to the city. She was shocked the moment she returned. Susan was back. She was wearing a mask and her eyes were swollen. "Mom...." Bella looked at her nervously, "When did you come back?"

"Just now. Where have you been? It's Saturday. You don't have to go to class, do you?" Susan asked her curiously.

"Yeah... I went out to buy something." Bella was extremely guilty. She had just separated from Ben in the elevator. Thanks God that her mother did not bump into them. Otherwise, Susan would be angry again. "Oh, I'm exhausted. Is there anything to eat?" Susan looked extremely tired. She took off her mask, and Bella was instantly scared.

"Mom, your face...." Bella was very uncomfortable. Mom really went to...have a plastic surgery.

"What's wrong with my face? Isn't it good-looking? It only hasn't subsided yet. The doctor said that once the swelling subsided, I'll look better," Susan said confidently. Then, she took out a small mirror and looked at her face. She seemed to be very satisfied, "Just some small changes. I've spent nearly a million yuan on this face! Bella, when I become beautiful, I also want to be a fairy-like woman. Hmph, I want to make Beck regret divorcing me."

"Mom, stop messing with yourself. Plastic surgery is risky. You looked pretty before." Bella was shocked by her mother's thoughts. When did she become so open? Conservative as she, Susan must have been severely shocked.

"I used to have a bitter melon face. What's so beautiful about it? Didn't your father fall for Rosia just because she looked good? I won't lose to her," Susan gritted her teeth and said hatefully.

Bella knew that her mother had fallen into a madness. Susan could not listen to a word she said at this moment, so Bella kept silent.

"Mom, take some rest. Your face is still swollen badly," Bella whispered with concern.

"Bella, have you broken up that William or not?" Susan stared at her daughter.

"Mom, you can't deny all men just because you are disappointed with my father, right? Ben is much better than him," Bella had already begun to speak up for Ben.

"What does he have? He must have taken a fancy to you because you are a Charles. He wants your money." Susan knew nothing about Ben's identity. She only felt that he was a pretty boy who wanted to rely on her daughter. Otherwise, why did he treat her so well?
