Chapter 81
Bella‘s POV: Hank asked me, “The expensive food, the best house, and the care of the servants... Are
they what you want?”
I knew that this was a good opportunity for him to give up completely, and so I intentionally said, “Right!
That‘s right. Living a luxurious life is what I want. My husband is now the president of the Wharton
Group. I am very happy!” Hank released my shoulders and looked sad. He said, “It turns out that you are
such a vain woman!” “So don‘t think about me anymore. You deserve to have a better one.” I smiled at
him and then turned away
I didn‘t look back as I didn‘t want to give Hank any hope. I raised my head and strode forward. In fact, I
was still a little sad. If Hank didn‘t like me, we might be good friends. But I knew that Hank liked me, but I
didn‘t like him. In order not to hurt him continuously, I must draw a clear line with him. Love was like this.
The person you loved didn‘t love you, and the person who loved you has never gotten your
acknowledgement. I really hoped that Hank could find happiness that belonged to him. I also vaguely felt
that Betty seemed to have a good impression of Hank. In fact, Betty could have given my phone number
to Hank, but she didn‘t do that. It seemed that my dear sister really liked Hank. However, Hank was a
trustworthy person. But there was a huge age gap between Betty and him, and Hank liked me. He didn‘t
let go of his feelings for me. Betty wouldn‘t be happy if she fell in love with him. It was just like the fact
that Herbert liked Caroline, and I liked Herbert. This feeling was too painful. In the next week, Herbert
didn‘t come. Strangely, why didn‘t he come to me for a divorce? Or was he waiting for me to recover? Or

come out more often, go shopping, buy good–looking clothes and bags, and then you will be in a good
mood. If you are in a good mood, you will be in a much better state.” Joey pulled me
and talked to me all the way as she tried to make me happy. “Well, I‘ll buy a few more bags today.” I said
with a smile. It had been a long, long time since I had used the card given to me by Herbert. By the time i
was no longer Mrs. Wharton, I wouldn‘t have the right to use that card. Thus, while I could still use it, I
had to spend some.
Then, in fact, I had another small idea in my mind, because the mobile phone number registered to the card was the nurnber of Herbert. Every time I spent it, I would send the expenses record to his

1906 mobile phone. Perhaps this could remind him that he had a wife, and he hadn‘t seen her for a long
time. Passing by the jewelry store, Joey pointed to a diamond–studded necklace in the counter and said,
“This necklace is so beautiful. But it‘s too expensive. 20,000 dollars. I‘ll buy it after I become rich.”
Hearing this, I couldn‘t help but laugh. Then I looked up and suddenly saw two familiar figures standing
in front of the diamond ring counter not far away. I was stunned.
Joey also saw them. She said, “It‘s so depressing that we encounter those two people while shopping.” I
couldn‘t control my feet. I approached them step by step, feeling sad. One of them was my husband,
Herbert, and the other was his lover, Caroline. Not far from them, I stopped. I saw the salesgirl standing
at the counter introducing the products enthusiastically. “Sir, Miss, are you looking for a wedding ring?
This is a world–class brand, first–class design, and top class diamond quality.” “I want to have a look at
this one,” said Caroline as she pointed to a ring in the counter. “Miss, you really have a good taste. This
ring is the best ring in our store. The main stone of the diamond ring is of high quality and pure. But
because it‘s too expensive, no one bought it for more than a year.” The salesperson became more
enthusiastic. A wedding ring? There was a burst of pain in my heart. It turned out that they were here to
buy a wedding ring. They were already preparing to get married? It seemed that the reason why Herbert
didn‘t show up during this period of time was that he was preparing for the wedding with Caroline. He
was so busy that he didn‘t have time to divorce me? I stared at the side of Herbert‘s face for a few
seconds and immediately turned to Joey. Joey tried to persuade me. “Bella, that person is destined not
to belong to you.”
“Don‘t worry, I have no feelings for him at all.” After I sneered, I turned around and pointed to the
diamond necklace that Joey had just taken a fancy to. I said to the salesperson on the opposite side, “I
want this one!” After that, I handed a credit card to the salesperson. Joey persuaded, “Are you crazy?
You‘re buying such an expensive necklace.” “Someone‘s paying anyway. This is the last time. Of course,
I have to reward myself.” I tried my best to squeeze out a smile. At this moment, my heart seemed to be
torn apart, and I had no last hope. But I didn‘t want to show depression and sadness! I took the credit
card and the diamond necklace and turned to leave the mall without looking back. Herbert, this time,
perhaps we were really done. Herbert‘s POV:
In the past month, I went back to see Bella once.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut before 1 entered the house, I saw Hank and Bella talking at the door, very intimate. I was very angry.
I really wanted to rush up and hit Hank. But I didn‘t do that because I was worried about Bella‘s feelings.
I suppressed my anger and left.
In the next half month, I didn‘t go home, mainly because I had something very important to deal with.
When I came back, Caroline asked me to give her a birthday present, so we went to the mall. If it weren‘t
for Caroline‘s health, I wouldn‘t have cared about her feelings all the time. Fortunately, except for the last
time when she went to the hospital to find Bella, she did not do anything else to hurt Bella.
I thought of our past friendship and her physical condition, so when she proposed for me to give her a
birthday present, I didn‘t refuse. Unexpectedly, she put on the diamond ring and asked, “Herbert, what do
you think?” I didn‘t look at the ring in her hand. I just said, “You said that you only wanted a birthday
present. Why did you buy a ring?” “... I think it looks good. I just wanted to have a look, I never wanted to
buy a ring.” Caroline took off the diamond ring on her hand and returned it to the salesperson. At this
time, a text message came into my phone. I looked down and found that it was the expenses record!
It was Bella!
Bella was in this mall just now, and she was near me? I immediately raised my head and looked around
for her.
“Herbert, what‘s the matter?” Caroline asked. “Here‘s this card. The password is my birthday. You can
pick any gift within 20,000 dollars!” I put a bank card into her hand and left quickly. “Where are you
going?” Caroline shouted my name from behind, but I didn‘t respond.
I just wanted to find Bella as soon as possible.
