Chapter 243

"Finally, Owen is here!" Bella let out a delighted laugh, her eyes shining with relief.

Belial Scarlett! Are you alright?" The tall, broad shouldered man rushed toward them, completely ignoring Alex as though he were invisible.

He stood with a commanding presence, sharp-eyed and radiating an unmistakable air of nobility that set him apart from common folk.

"We're fine," Bella answered, her voice bright with gratitude, "all hanks to Alex, who saved us.'

"Oh, really?" Owen Whitman's tone dripped with skepticism as he raked his gaze over Alex.

"Bella, a man's face doesn't reveal his true character. You'd do we to sicer clear of strangers."

Suddenly, Owen's expression twisted. "Wait. I know you-aren't you the Alex who had the nerve to slap Bella?"

His eyes blazed with fury. "I've been searching everywhere for you after what you did to her."

Bella darted between Owen and Alex, her movements frantic.

"Owen, stop it! It was my fault, and we've settled it already. My father forgave the whole mess. Don't stir up more trouble!" she yelled, voice edged with

desperation.

Owen's jaw tightened as he stared at Bella, then he shook his head slowly.

"Bella, I'm just trying to protect you. You should keep your distance from this guy."

"I'll go wherever I please," Bella snapped. "Don't act like you can order me around, Owen."

"Fine, fine," he muttered, throwing up his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Bella, let's not waste another moment," Scarlett interjected, her voice urgent. "We should get back home. Your mother's waiting."

Though the support team had arrived, the air still felt tense and unsafe.

“Alex, thank you so much. I owe you,” Bella said warmly, turning toward him. “I'll find a way to repay your kindness. Goodbye for now."
