Chapter 8

“Timothy, just ignore her. That’s just how she is,” Yana said after a short pause as she tried to comfort Timothy.

Timothy came back to his senses and smiled subconsciously. “Well, she’ll realize that I’m right sooner or later.

Yana thought for a while and chuckled. “Timothy, don’t worry about Belle. We all know that Adam isn’t a good choice for a husband. I also tried to convince Belle not to marry him, but all she could think about was the Landor family’s wealth and power. Since she’s made up her mind, and she has got what she wanted. I guess she’s quite happy now.”

“Is that so…” Timothy seemed to be in a little bit of a daze..

“Yeah.” Yana pretended not to realize it and changed the subject. “By the way, does the company still need funds? I still have some money saved up. Perhaps I make an investment.”

Upon hearing this, Timothy looked at Yana with a gentle gaze. When he first established his company, it was Yana who had secretly funded him. If he hadn’t coincidentally discovered the truth, he wouldn’t have been able to be with Yana so quickly.

In Timothy’s arms, a hint of smugness flashed in Yana’s eyes as she watched Belle leave.

“Yeah, that’s right. I haven’t seen them for a while. They didn’t even say hello to everyone.”

“Keep

quiet, this is clearly their private matter. Mind your own business.”

“That’s right, didn’t you notice how dark Mr. Adam’s face was?”

Belle felt the grip on her hand tighten. Before she could say anything, Atlam said sarcastically, “Just had some work to take care of. If I don’t work hard, how will your son survive if he returns to the country?”

Penelope’s face.

turned dark. But before she could say anything, Adam had already left with Belle, leaving behind the murmurs of the guests and an obviously enraged Penelope.
