Chapter 31
“He’s already sure about divorcing Belle?” Frederick asked for the third time. He still can’t believe that his grandson was stupid enough to let go of someone like Belle. He can’t believe he would rather go with a woman who doesn’t know anything but shop and travel at the expense of his own money than someone who can actually work for herself.Jacob nodded, he was also sad about his boss’ decision, but just like the old De Clarion, he couldn’t do anything about it either.Frederick’s frown deepened, he let out an exasperated sigh, took the paper from the table, and put it back again.He’s feeling uneasy from all of these. He still can’t think of what Tristan and Joyce will become once they get married. ‘I doubt she even knows how to cook’ he mumbled to himself.“Call Belle, ask her to visit me here…” Frederick instructed Jacob, who immediately stood up. Before he could take another step, the old De Clarion cleared his throat, “tell her to bring me some mango cake.”Jacob turned around

After dropping by the City Hall to submit the documents, Jacob went straight to the hospital. “Sshh…” as soon as he stepped into Joyce’s room, Tristan glared at him.Looking around, he noticed Joyce sleeping on her hospital bed, while Tristan was sitting on the chair next to it, holding her hand. ‘How sweet! I wish it was Belle instead,’ he muttered.Jacob rooted for Belle, he wanted her to be his boss and friend’s future partner. Unfortunately, things turned out unexpectedly and Tristan had already made his choice. He could only feel sad for the love team he was cheering for.Tristan slowly removed Joyce’s hand from his so as not to wake her up. He then walked towards the couch, not far from Joyce’s bed. Jacob immediately sat down next to him to give him a report.“I visited your grandfather, he asked me to tell her to visit him. Maybe whatever it is he has for Belle, he wants to give it personally.” Tristan nodded before gesturing for him to proceed. “I’ve also submitted the divorce

“Hey Alfred, I know it’s late, but can you still come to the office?” Lawrence asked his lawyer.The person at the other end of the call immediately agreed. Minutes later, he arrived at Williams Corporation, still confused as to what he was calling him for, this late in the evening.“Did something happen?” Alfred Cooper asked as soon as he sat down.“I want to rewrite my will.”The lawyer immediately lifted his head, brows furrowed at Lawrence. “Sure, we can do that,” he told him, still wondering as to what happened.Lawrence reached out into his pocket and handed Alfred a paper. Upon looking at it, Alfred immediately understood the reason why Lawrence suddenly wanted to rewrite his will.“She’s not dead?” he asked, brows knitted.Goosebumps crept all over him as he read what was written on the paper. No matter how he looks at it, he still can’t believe that Yssabelle is still alive.Lawrence and Alfred have been friends since college. He was aware of everything that had happened to L

After leaving the De Clarion Villa, Belle visits her new house as it’s not far from there. When she got in, she immediately looked at how she should have it set up, what furniture she needed, and all that.From there, she went straight to the mall, up to the floor where the furniture section is. Using the card Tristan gave her, she purchased everything she needed.She was told that it would all be delivered to her new house the next day. All she could do for now was wait for everything to arrive.As there was only an hour left before her set meeting with Lawrence, she went straight to the Williams Villa from the mall. She was already feeling anxious about this dinner meeting.While on her way, she kept thinking about how else she should spend her money. However, no matter how hard she tried to squeeze her brain, she can’t come up with anything.Looking out her car’s window, she realized that she had already been in front of the villa for several minutes. As her thoughts were somewhere

“How is this happening?” Vernice asked Esme as soon as they stepped inside her bedroom.“Shh! Your father might hear you,” she scolded her daughter for being careless with her actions. “You need to pretend you’re fine with everything while I come up with a plan.”“From what I heard, she has already received two billion dollars from the De Clarions alone. Now she’s getting seventy-five percent of what’s supposed to be ours. Isn’t she being too lucky?!” Vernice was furious.Esme went out of her daughter’s bedroom and headed to their own. She opened her dresser and took something from her wallet before coming back to Vernice’s room.“Take this,” handing her daughter a bank card. “This has five hundred million, take it to Hans and make sure to work for your company in the meantime. We can’t do anything at the moment or your father will get suspicious. Let’s take a break for now.”Vernice snatched the card from Esme, “What are you planning to do?” she asked. She’s aware of how vicious her

“John? What happened?” Belle answered the phone quickly after seeing Frederick’s number on the screen. However, it was John who was calling and not the old De Clarion.“Belle, are you busy?”“No, I’m at home right now, I just woke up,” Belle glanced at the clock on her wall, it was already fifteen past ten in the morning.“That’s good. Mr. De Clarion wants to know if you can come to the villa right now. He needs your help on something.”Belle’s brows furrowed, “Mr. De Clarion who?” she asked.“It’s the old De Clarion, little girl,” John told her, chuckling, as he already knew why she asked that.According to Jacob, Belle’s been avoiding Tristan since the divorce. His son told him that they hadn’t seen the woman since she left the company.Jacob also told him that they only happened to see her from afar. They waited outside the villa just to get a glimpse of her, as Tristan didn’t want her to see him as well.“Alright, tell Grandpa I’ll be there in an hour.”When John ended the call, s

“How are you?” Esme asked her daughter as soon as she opened the door and saw her standing there with her luggage.Esme called a maid to help Vernice with her things, while she and her daughter went straight to the bedroom. She pulled her to sit down, worry written all over her face.After what happened between her and Hans, Vernice called her mother, telling her she wouldn’t come home for some weeks. When she said some weeks, she didn’t expect her daughter would be away for almost three months.“How are things here?” she asked Esme, not even bothering to answer her mother’s question.“Good you ask,” Esme, who was obviously annoyed, peeked outside the door before closing it, making sure no one was there to hear them. “Belle now has her own company. She started a cybersecurity company with that friend of hers,” referring to Nathalie.“Glad she’s living a good life,” Vernice’s voice was full of sarcasm. “What are you planning to do now?”“Leave it to me my darling, I’ll take care of thi

“Any news?” Vernice asked when she saw Esme busy reading a magazine in the living room.She had been anxious to know what happened to Esme’s plan of poisoning the old De Clarion and putting the blame on Belle. She was about ready to celebrate it.She shook her head at her daughter, “They got lucky! The old man was rushed quickly to the hospital. Maybe next time I should make a move on the butler too, so no one can save him!”Vernice frowned at her mother’s response. She clicked her tongue in annoyance before plopping on the couch.“I heard that bitch, Belle, got slapped though. Not sure if Tristan would sue her, but he blatantly accused her of poisoning Frederick De Clarion. I heard he also vandalized her company as soon as he found out what happened to his grandfather.”Vernice chuckled. “I can’t imagine Tristan being that childish when taking revenge. He should have sent her to jail and let her rot there,” she smirked.“We’ll try again. We will try again and we won’t stop until we g

Lawrence flew to Dale to deal with some business-related mishaps. As soon as he left, Esme and Vernice started to regroup. Of course, their agenda was none other than Belle.“I heard Eric invited Belle out tonight,” Vernice informed her mother, who was busy checking her Facebook account.Esme immediately took her eyes off her phone and focused on Vernice. “How did you know?” She was surprised that her daughter could get such information on her own.“I heard it from a friend. She told me it was the latest hot news in the business circle and among the bachelors and bachelorettes of Bree. It’s Eric Thompson, anyway.”“That’s good! We can trick Tristan into going to the same place to make him see how much of a bitch that woman is!”Vernice put her hand up, signaling her mom to shut up. “Why are you so obsessed with Tristan catching Belle? What’s in it for us?”“Your brain really malfunctions at times, no?” she was starting to get irritated as her daughter was showing signs of stupidity ag

After Belle gathered her things, she immediately left the suite. Eric chased after her but she didn’t even bother looking back.Dispirited and guilty at the same time, Eric let out a long, frustrated sigh before he turned on his heel and headed back to his suit. He walked straight to Tristan, eyeing the man from head to toe.“Does it hurt?” he asked. Tristan nodded without second thoughts. “Good for you, you very well deserved that!”Tristan glared at him. “Thompson, I really don’t like you right now!” he spat at him.Eric snorted, “The feeling is mutual. I bet even Jacob here hates you at this very moment.”Jacob, who'd been quiet since Eric and Belle stepped out of the bedroom, suddenly looked up. He glanced at Tristan and saw him glaring at him.He wanted to say something but he chose to stay quiet instead. ‘Why is Thompson dragging me into this? Is he trying to get me killed?’ he asked himself.“Do you even know what happened last night? Do you know why I brought her here? Do you?
