The eyes of everyone around turned towards us. Bella was stunned by the sudden slap. She held her face, her eyes filled with disbelief and shame. But when she met the man’s stern gaze, she reluctantly gritted her teeth and said to me, “Sister, I’m sorry.”
I looked at the absurd scene, feeling it was utterly laughable. “Miss Alice, I’ve long heard of you. I’m Ruby, and today Bella was out of line and offended you. I’ll definitely visit and apologize another day.”
“No need. I think you should discipline your lover well, rather than make a pretentious apology here.”
Ruby’s expression changed slightly but still maintained a surface level of courtesy. “Miss Alice, you seem to misunderstand. She’s just my
secretary.”
In the face of solid evidence, Danielle completely broke down. “Why, why is this happening…
“Everything is your own doing.”
Danielle lifted his head, looking at me with despair in his eyes. “I’ve lost everything, all gone…
After that, Danielle disappeared from our lives. The last news I heard about my brother and Bella was that Bella had been imprisoned. It turns out, without the protection of the Johnson family, Bella couldn’t handle ordinary life after being accustomed to the lifestyle of a wealthy heiress. So she resorted to becoming a mistress to rich men.
Unexpectedly, after I intervened, Ruby’s wife found out about her. She was beaten on the street, and the incident was caught by reporters. She became a laughing stock, and Ruby severed ties with her. All those who once played well with her avoided her like the plague.
To maintain her wealthy lifestyle, she sought out Danielle. But he was already struggling to save himself, and when she came to him, he mocked her for overestimating herself. In a fit of rage, Bella picked up a rock from the ground and smashed it against him…
Danielle was seriously injured. Although he didn’t lose his life, he was left with severe aftereffects. He developed a serious mental illness, thinking everyone around him was out to harm him. He didn’t dare to go outside or face the sun….
The doctor said he was hallucinating and had a persecution delusion. My mom sighed and sent him to a sanatorium. My brother spent the rest of his life there.
After Bella was imprisoned, I visited her once. She wore a prison uniform, her hair messy, her eyes vacant.
Are you here to laugh at me?”
“I just wanted to know if you now regret what you’ve done.”
“Haha, I hate you, Alice. Why do you have everything by birth?”
Looking at her, I felt no hatred anymore. After leaving the prison, I cherished my current life even more. My mom and I worked hard together to grow the company, making it better and better. We also actively participated in various charitable activities, giving back to society, hoping to make up for the negative impact caused by the family’s past dramas.
