Chapter 86
Bella‘s POV: “A divorce? Are you really divorced?” Mother was very anxious. “How can you divorce?
That‘s the Wharton Family! How can your actions do any good to your family? It doesn‘t benefit you at
all!” Ryan didn‘t forget to add the last sentence. “Mom, this is my own business. Of course, it‘s enough
for me to make my own decision.” I ignored Ryan and looked at my mother. Mother was so angry that
she trembled and raised her hand to slap me! “Mom...” It was the first time that I was beaten by my
mother. Tears welled up in her eyes as she covered her face.
Mother cried and said, “How can you divorce at will! Do you know that life would be difficult if you
divorce! How will you live in the future?”
Mother‘s thoughts were very traditional. She had never agreed to divorce.
I‘ve never told her about my divorce. 2 I knew that my mother was extremely worried, so she didn‘t
control her emotions and hit me. But I was still sad, very sad! Seeing this, Ryan hurriedly said, “Hurry up
and ask her if she still has any hope of reuniting with Herbert. I stared at Ryan coldly and knew what he
was going to do. So before mother could speak, I directly shattered Ryan‘s intention. “Herbert has other
women around him. Even if I go beg him, he won‘t look at me again!” With that, i dragged the suitcase
into the room and slammed the door shut. I divorced Herbert. Ryan couldn‘t get any benefit from me, so

him. I very much despise this biological father. That night, Betty came back from school to chat with me.
“Sister, do you and brother–in–law have a chance to reunite?” Betty looked at me. Hearing this, I looked
up at my sister and asked, “Did mom ask you to ask me?”
These days, my mother has been sighing. She had asked me these several times, and I have said that it
was impossible. I knerw that mother was doing this for my own good. She was worried about me. But I
was already an adult. I had the right to make a decision. “No, I asked it myself.” Betty quickly denied. I
pursed my lips into a smile. “I won‘t be thinking about the people of the past anymore.” “So, you won‘t be
thinking about Hank, will you?” Betty asked excitedly. My hand on the keyboard suddenly stopped. “I
have nothing to do with him!”

19.130 Betty grinned and then said a lot to me. In fact, I knew very well that Betty was secretly in love
with Hank, but this situation was normal. When I was in university, I also had an inexplicable feeling for
an instructor. It was just a kind of excitement in puberty. As time went by, this kind of love would become
more and more vague. It could be said that it was a part of a girl‘s growth. As long as she could grasp
her sense of propriety. it was enough. And I was very assured about Hank. He would not have an affair
with a female student.
In the following days, I had been busy sending my resume. After all, I had to continue my life. Mom and
Betty still had to live. I had to find a job with a high salary as soon as possible.
After the resume was sent out, some companies called to ask for an interview. After the interview, it was
either the other party was not satisfied with me, or I was not satisfied with the other party‘s pay and
working environment. After a few days, I was also a little annoyed. It seemed that it was really difficult to
find a job that I was satisfied with. I couldn‘t help but miss the days of working in the Wharton Group.
Whether it was salary, working environment or room for promotion, they were impeccable. Because of
my one–night stand, not only did I get a divorce, but I even lost my job. But I didn‘t regret it. I was afraid
that my life in the past year would be very different from that of the past. I would take it as a unique
experience. In the evening, when I came back from outside, I saw two figures standing in front of the old
corridor in the distance. The slender and short figure was Betty. She was looking up at a tall figure and
talking with a smile. Her eyes were full of brilliance and excitement. I was stunned when I saw the tall
figure‘s face! It turned out to be Hank. He had a very pleasant conversation with Betty, and they were
chatting casually. Hank even touched Betty‘s head in the end. I thought only Betty had a crush on him,
but now it seemed that things were not that simple. Have they already had the bud of love? Hank was a
good person, but Betty was still his student. If something happened to them, would it affect Betty‘s

studies? But if they really fell in love? I shouldn‘t have opposed it too strongly. Betty was an adult after
all. She had the right to make her own decision. I stood there silently, and Hank and Betty didn‘t notice
me. After chatting and laughing for a few minutes, Hank watched as Betty went upstairs. After Betty left, I
walked over. A look of surprise appeared on Hank‘s face. “I didn‘t expect to meet you at my door.” I
spoke first. Hank explained, “Betty wanted to borrow a book from me. I was coming to the nearby area
today, so I sent it to her.”
Although I believed in Hank, I still reminded him, “Betty is a pure girl. She wants a pure love. I hope

19.14 she won‘t get hurt.” I was not saying these words to stop them from dating. I just didn‘t want my
sister to be hurt. Hearing this, Hank‘s face showed obvious displeasure. “Bella, I‘m Betty‘s teacher, and
she‘s your sister. I‘m more than ten years older than her, so we have nothing to do with each other. I just
treat her as my sister.”
I could tell that Hank was angry. Although I felt a little guilty, I had to consider my sister. Therefore, the
next moment, I said, “Sorry, I may be a little worried, but if you don‘t like Betty, please keep a necessary
distance from her in the future!” I had failed twice on the road of love. I knew how it felt not to be loved.
That was why I didn‘t want Betty to repeat the harm I had suffered. “Don‘t worry. Betty and I are only
teacher and a student, or friends at most. If there‘s nothing else, I‘ll go first!” Hank said in a stiff tone, and
then left resolutely. I felt a little upset. After all, I knew Hank‘s character. It was really hard for him to
accept what I said, but for my sister, I had to say these words. I turned my head and frowned. I saw Betty
standing at the entrance of the stairs, glaring at me with a pair of resentful eyes.
