Chapter 273 New Lover
When Bella returned to Miller Manor that evening, there was no trace of Dominic. She knew something had
happened again. Feeling exhausted, she asked, "Sylvia, where's Dominic?"
Sylvia seemed puzzled. "Mr. Miller hasn't returned. Didn't he go on a business trip?"
It seemed as though Sylvia didn't know he had returned. With a heavy heart, Bella dragged herself upstairs and
called Dominic. But she only heard the cold mechanical voice saying, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is
currently unavailable." She grew a little panicked and left him a message on WhatsApp, saying, "callback

hadn't been able to say to him were meaningless now that they were typed out. He didn't bother to reply to her.

Still, she had to go to work She kept an eye on her phone all day, terrified that she'd miss a call or message from
him while knowing the chances of him reaching out were nearly non-mistent.
On her way to the hospital, her phone rang, and she instinctively assumed it was Dominic. So, she risked
checking the message while driving.
It wasn't from Dominic but Lia. It was a link to a website. Bella clicked on it with disappointment, and a slightly
hazy photo popped up on the screen.
The photo was taken at the sfive-star hotel where Dominic had taken her the previous time. A man and a
woman were entering the hotel. The man was undoubtedly Dominic, while the woman, upon closer inspection,
was the sone who had accompanied him to buy a gift for Hallie.
The two of them were intimate, with the woman holding Dominic's arm in a way that made it clear what would
happen next, especially in such a setting. Aloud honk brought Bella back to reality, and she slammed on the
brakes, nearly avoiding a crash.

When Bella arrived at the hospital, she parked her car and reopened the link to have a better look. It was a
gossip news website. Along with the photos, the text said, "Dominic, president of Miller Group, may have found a

anyone in her position would have suspicions about the whole incident.
Suddenly, Bella felt ludicrous for sending those texts. She was terrified he would misunderstand and become
furious, so she humbled herself and explained as much as possible. But he didn't care as he spent the night with
another woman, probably laughing at her stupidity.
The pain spread from her chest to every part of her body. The more she looked at the texts she had sent the
night before, the more humiliated she became. Finally, she blocked him on Whatso that he was out of sight
