Chapter 54

Bella was not in the mood to go to the hotel, so she changed her route and drove home.

Steven was silent for a long time. Finally, he could not help but ask, “Ms. Bella, does Justin not know that you’re the heiress of KS Group?”

“Yeah,” Bella responded in a low voice. She looked tired.

Steven finally understood. No wonder Bella had to find a substitute for herself the last time Justin came unannounced to the office.

“Steve, I didn’t mean to hide it from you…”

“I understand.”

Bella raised her eyes in shock.

“No one wants to relive bad memories, so it’s natural that you’ll want to keep them locked up in the deepest depths of your heart. I’m just worried about you and how your father will react when he finds out about this. He’ll be distressed and heartbroken for you.” Steven’s hand that was holding the steering wheel was clenched so tightly that his veins were bulging. His eyes were also watery.

Everyone in the Thompson family loved Bella. Yet Justin ruined her.

If Wyatt found out, he would probably chop Justin to pieces.

“I’ll hide it as long as I can. Now that I have experienced a failed marriage, I just want to be single forever!”

Bella closed her eyes. Her mind kept replaying those hurtful words that Justin said. She smiled wryly and said, “Marriage is really boring.”

“If you don’t get married, I won’t either.” Steven pledged his allegiance.
