Pampered By Power: The True Heiress Returns

Chapter 198

The next morning, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, the creaking sound of the large iron gate came from downstairs. Bella woke up from her sleep, her brow furrowed slightly.

She sat up, dragged her tired body to the second–floor window, and looked down to see that Paul, the butler, had already opened the iron gate.

She quickly changed her clothes and rushed downstairs. When she reached the first floor, Paul was just opening the living room door and was startled to see her. “Mrs. Rosewood, what are you doing here?” he asked, still patting his chest, looking

shaken.

Bella’s tone was displeased. “Why can’t I be here?”

She thought, ‘Although I have been driven out by Scott, we are still not divorced. This villa is still our joint property. Why can’t I stay here?

‘But Paul’s words are clear enough. He is implying that I shouldn’t be here. I’m still the lady of the house until we get divorced. What right does Paul have to say such a thing?”

“Mrs. Rosewood, you misunderstood. Mr. Rosewood tells me to come early and tidy up this villa, and also change the locks,” Paul said, emphasizing the last few words.

Paul thought, ‘Bella has been domineered over us in the Rosewood family for years, even cheating on Scott. Does she think she is still the lady of the house? It is rather laughable.

‘Scott has ordered me to change the locks early in the morning, and I know why. He wants to keep Bella out. Although I don’t know why Scott hasn’t divorced Bella yet, she has hurt his heart and will never return to the Rosewood family!

Paul had been the butler of the Rosewood family for many years, and he knew Scott’s temperament. Given Scott’s character, after what had happened, it was almost impossible for him to take Bella back and let her be the lady of the house again.

Because of Bella’s presence, she constantly reminded Scott of the humiliation he had endured over the past decade. He would never keep someone like her around.
