Chapter 155 Something's Wrong
Since they couldn't go out for dinner, Bella and Lia ended up ordering takeout. Both stood by the door with their
coffee in hand. At that moment, their stomachs growled in anticipation. Lia grumbled, "Coffee tastes bitter when

Instead of the delivery guy, a luxury car pulled up. Lia's eyes widened in shock. "Wait, delivery drivers roll up in
fancy cars now? That ride's gotta be worth a few million, right?"
Bella rolled her eyes and said, "Can you think about something other than food? Maybe it's a

arrival.

When the car door opened, Bella caught sight of a pair of legs in stockings and designer heels. She found the
woman familiar, and just as she was about to call out to Lia, the woman got out of the car. It was Leonard's
mother, Diane. Lia was in her goofy mood as she said, "Man, it's not the best day to be out in this weather.
Diane gently linked arms with Lia as they walked inside. "Don't worry about it. Even if it's pouring rain, I still have
to come."
Lia had actually met Diane once before when she stormed into Leonard's office building to confront him. Back
then, Lia was so focused on Leonard that she hadn't noticed anyone else
around.

Diane nodded and greeted Bella.

this was not about business at all.
It took her a moment to collect her thoughts. "Oh, uh... It's fine. It's normal that young people bicker. There's
really no need for you to call this way to apologize. As long as he stays out

Just then, Diane's driver cin with a mountain of gifts, almost covering Lia's workbench. It was as if they had

Diane's sincere apology made Lia feel awkward. Staring at the piles of food, her mind drifted. "You didn't have to

"How about this... I'll help you open your own company. Holha is booming right now, so you can set up there. I'll
cover all the expenses, and you won't have to worry about finding clients."
Lia was stunned by the offer and unsure of what to say. Only Bella picked up on the hidden implications in
Diane's words.
At that moment, the takeout finally arrived. Bella quickly said, "Lia, why don't you grab the like to food? You were
