Chapter 252 Deadly
Lia snatched the box containing the brooch from Bella's hand and angrily said, "Do you have any idea how much
the watch he's putting on that woman cost? It's 125 grand, and there's diamonds on it! So, do you really think
this gift means anything now? It's not too late to return it!"
Bella shook her head. "There's no need for that. No matter what he buys for someone else, this gift has a
different meaning for me. There's no conflict, okay? Let's go."
Once they stepped out of the mall and onto the chilly street, Bella began to shiver slightly from the cold. She
anxiously sat in the car and replayed the scene she had just witnessed over and over in her mind. Each time, the
memory cwith a sharp pain. But what could she do?
As she drove, Lia noticed Bella had pushed the car to about 50 miles per hour. Lia quietly said, "You're usually a
timid driver, and you never go over 37 miles per hour. You're acting like nothing's wrong, but you're clearly

Bella didn't reply, but her hands shook as she gripped the steering wheel. She wasn't angry, but she couldn't
quite pinpoint her feelings. It was complicated and painful...
When they arrived at Lia's studio, Bella walked in and made herself a cup of hot coffee. But despite the warmth,
she still felt cold. She trembled as if smysterious force had drained all her energy. She curled up on the
couch, unwilling to move or speak
Lia gently stroked her icy hand. "Bella... Have you ever thought that being with someone who loves you is much
better than being with someone you love? What's the point of loving someone who doesn't love you back? After
all these years, you must know in your heart how it is, right?
"The hardest thing in a relationship is to deal with something like this. | thought that since he was willing to
announce your relationship to the world, it meant you mattered to him. We were too optimistic. There are just
speople who will never fall for you, no matter how long you wait for them." Bella finally couldn't hold her
tears any longer. "But... he treatsso well. He's completely different from before. He givesthe illusion that
we're really in love. Is it really just to get back at me?
"I thought | was mentally prepared for this, | thought I could keep my composure until the end, but it looks like
I've overestimated myself."
Lia raked her hand through her hair in frustration. "If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, | might have been
able to defend him a little. Like maybe it isn't what we think, or something along those lines. But you saw it
yourself, and he's definitely in the wrong!" Just then, Bella's phone rang
Dominic was calling her.
Bella rejected the call immediately. She didn't want to hear his voice right now. She thought he was working hard
at the office, but spending time. shopping with a woman was tiring too, right?
Less than a minute later, he called again, and she rejected it once more.
This was the only way she could take control of the situation
After two times, Dominic stopped trying. Looking at her silent phone, Bella felt even worse.

When she returned to Miller Manor that evening, she found that Dominic had yet to return. She didn't even
bother asking Sylvia if he was coming home
for dinner. However, Sylvia took the initiative to inform her that Dominic had called and said he would be home
late.
Bella nodded calmly, easily guessing where he was, Even if he didn't return hall night, it wasn't like she
could do anything about it, right?
After dinner, she took Pudding for a walk alone. After that, she showered and settled down with a book.
It clearly wasn't p

feeling upset. pm, she heard snoise downstairs, and Pudding dashed out barking Dominic had returned.
Bella put down her book, turned off the lights, and went to bed. She feared that if she encountered him, she
wouldn't be able to resist questioning him. She didn't have the right to do so and dreaded hearing him say
something hurtful like that she meant nothing to him.
