It was the first time Lucas had witnessed this side of

his daughter, leaving him both surprised and uneasy.

“What are you trying to-” Jacob Donovan shouted, but Bella raised her hand to stop him.

Bella was amused to see how red Jacob’s face was.

“Uncle, oops… I forgot!” She lightly slapped her forehead, pretending to forget something.

Jacob frowned.

Everyone now looks at Bella; they are amazed by her sudden change in expression.

“You know what?” Bella asked while flashing her confident smile. “Just now, I made a vow that I no longer have an uncle like you.”

“You!!” Jacob’s faces turn red.

“Oh, please, Sir, DO NOT interrupt me…” Bella sho her head before continuing, “You are the company’s CEO, but why do you let the fate of such a big company depend on a little girl like me?”

Bella paused her words, trying to enjoy Jacob

Donovan’s angry expression. “Don’t you have any

shame, sir?” she continued. She felt happy to return his

words.

When Bella saw her uncle open his mouth to say something, she spoke again, “If you can’t run a

company, you may step down from your CEO position and hire a professional to run it. Why force yourself to do something you know you can’t?”

Jacob’s hands were clenched tightly into fists. He had never been treated like this by a mere child. Even his father had never treated him that way.

Bella appeared calm, but she was cracking up internally. Watching her uncle’s face turn like a boiled crab was so much fun.

“Sir, if you fail, never blame someone else. And I remember having a business with the Donovan G right? Or… Do I?” She smiles.

Everyone in the room was shocked beyond words hearing how Bella had given Jacob Donovan her long-buried piece of mind.

“Arabella, stop, or I will get mad at you!” Lucas

Donovan can’t stand to see his daughter ridicule his brother. He will get in trouble if Jacob is angry.

Bella turned her gaze at her father. There was no expression on her delicate face, only a calm look around her eyes and brow.

“Oh, Mister Lucas, it looks like you can’t wait to receive my piece of mind, too?” Bella laughed slightly and rubbed her forehead, showing her confidence.

Bella didn’t even flinch when several pairs of eyes stared at her intently

their gaze seemed to swallow

Henry’s jaw dropped to the floor when he heard Bella call their father using his name.

‘What the fuck! Is this girl tired of living? Now she’s asking to be sent straight to her coffin?’ He tries to read Bella’s expression – trying to replace out whether there’s a fear in her gaze. But he feels confused when he only sees calmness there,

Bella continued her words when she didn’t get any response from her father, “I sacrificed by marrying into the Sinclair family. You have no right to say that I destroyed the company.”

Lucas’s eyes deepen upon hearing her words, but he says nothing. Only shocked and confused feelings now fill his mind as he sees how brave his daughter is.

“Mister Lucas, four years… I married the Sinclair family for four years. You and your brother had enough time and should be smart enough to bring The Donovan Group to the peak. But what are you guys doing? After four years, the company almost went bankrupt. And now you put the blame on me? Did you know how silly that sounds?”

Bella deliberately stopped her words momentarily to look at everyone in the room one by one. When Bella met her mother’s teary gaze, she clenched her fist. In a hurry, she looked at her father again.

“You guys, you should be thanking me, not the other way around,” she said with a deep sigh, flashing he half-smile at her father.

“Mister Lucas, I must tell you something difficult to say. Today, I have decided to cut off our relationship. As a result, you have lost your daughter. From now on, I won’t be a part of your life anymore.”

Despite trying to maintain a calm demeanor, Bella’s

voice trembled with emotion, revealing the pain and difficulty of her decision.

“B-Bella… Oh my God! What are you trying to say!?” Natalie asked as she walked towards her daughter. He held Bella’s cold hand. “Quick… apologize to your

father.”

Bella, “.”

It wasn’t just Natalie who was surprised by Bella’s words. Emma was also surprised. She rushed over to Bella and tried to stop her from saying stupid words that would make Lucas even angrier.

“Bella, you can’t say those words lightly, darling. And you don’t need to say anything. We never blamed you…” Emma said in a soft voice while holding Bella’s shoulder. “Your first uncle and father were only angry because you didn’t return home after the divor just felt sad for you.”

Bella, “…”

“Auntie, do you think I’m that stupid not to be able tell the difference?” Bella wanted to say that but was too emotionally exhausted to talk to her.

hey

Bella could only smile at her Aunty Emma and mother

without saying anything. Her gaze slowly returned to her father, who was still staring at her sharply.

Hearing Bella’s last words, Lucas felt like he had been struck by lightning.

Countless worries now fill his mind. How could she say those words casually? Does she really want to break their family tie?? No, this girl must be bluffing, right?

Lucas shook his head slightly. As her father, he knew how soft Bella’s heart was. She would never do that.

The fear that had settled in his mind slowly disappeared. Lucas laughed cynically, breaking the silence in the room. Everyone looked at him, including Bella; she narrowed her eyes at her father.

“Hahaha, you think you can break off our relationship? You are Donovan by blood, and blood is thicker than water!! Whatever you say, our family name will always be attached to your name. Stop acting like a little child, come here, let me teach you-”

“E-N-O-U-G-H!! A deep, hoarse voice rang from the

corner.

Everyone in the room was shocked to hear that familiar voice. They looked that way: Isaac Donovan

sat on his bed, his gaze fixed on them.

“F-Father… You are awake!?” Jacob said in shock.
