Chapter 1039 Although Carl found the call suspicious, he knew Bella was the kind of woman who would never use an expression as tic as "extremely urgent’.
And why would she contact him through the company line when she had his personal number? This person was likely an imposter, pretending to be Bella.
But how did she know about Bella's relationship with the boss? Upon hearing the n“Arabella”, Romeo gestured to pause the meeting and took the corporate phone from Carl.
“Hello, is this Mr. McMillian? I'm Bella's friend, Mya. She's in trouble.” Mya hurriedly explained the situation to him.

The people in the conference room looked at each other in confusion until Carl spoke, “The meeting is adjourned for today." Seeing Carl about to leave, the director nervously grabbed his hand and whispered, “Carl, did | say something wrong? This month's profit is not as high as last month's because Mr. McMillian invested in several places, and...
“Mr. McMillian just had an urgent matter to attend to. No need to worry." Relieved by Carl's words, the director breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought his data or presentation had displeased Mr.
McMillian.
Romeo had previously given Bella a black hair clip that could track her location. Now, he opened the trackingon his phone and saw she was heading towards Mount North.
Just as Mya had said, Bella was heading alone to the top of Mount North, probably walking into an ambush.
Although he was worried about Bella's safety, knowing that he was the first person she thought of in a dangerous situation, his heart warmed, and he hurried towards her direction.
As soon as Bella reached the top of Mount North, bullets began to rain down on her. She swiftly dodged them and glanced around to see she was surrounded.
Speople were hiding in the trees, others behind rocks, and a large group of masked men were lined up in front of her.
They had mobilized a lot of people to capture her.

Despite this, she raised her head and coldly asked, “Where is my friend?" “You should worry about yourself." The masked man leading the group spoke through a voice changer, sounding as cold as ice.
They threw several smoke bombs at her. Bella recognized the purple smoke as poisonous. She covered her nose and mouth and quickly retreated. The bullets fired at her through the smoke missed their target.
When the smoke cleared, Bella was nowhere to be found. As they searched for her, Bella had already sneaked behind them. She knocked a few out, seized their weapons, and taken one of them hostage.
“Where is my friend?” Bella asked, her eyes cold.
“You do have sskills.” The leader laughed heartily and shot the man Bella was holding hostage.
Bella hadn't expected him to harm his own man.
“Don't worry, your friend will be waiting for you in the hell” The masked man laughed eerily. “If you're smart, you'll cback with us obediently, or else, your friend will die a painful death."
