Chapter 368

Bella’s POV:

Hearing these words, I felt a bit sad, but I didn’t dare to put in a good word for Klein in front of Herbert I was worried that he might be jealous.

boyfriend.

Herbert continued, “Don’t worry. Although he has done something harmful to me and Lucas, he didn’t have any evil intentions. Besides, he has been taking care of you and Lucky for so long. I’m very grateful for that. Although my relationship with him is no longer as close as before, I won’t treat him as an enemy.”

Hearing this, I nodded with relief and then asked, “Do you also… know that Lucas had a car accident?”

Herbert nodded.

“When did you find out?” I asked. “When that happened, I suspected it was him. I didn’t expect it to really be him.” Herbert replied. Hearing this, I frowned. “Then why didn’t you mention it to me?”

The corner of Herbert’s lips twitched. “At that time, you were very biased against me. Even if I said it, would you believe me? You would probably think that I was intentionally slandering Klein.”

Indeed. At that time, I wouldn’t believe anything he said, much less when he spoke ill of Klein. Thinking of the past, I suddenly felt a little heavy in my heart. I took a deep breath and then looked back at William and the young and beautiful woman sitting not far away.

“A while ago, Klein helped William win the inheritance case.” At this time, Herbert suddenly said.

Hearing this, I looked back and couldn’t help frowning as I looked at Herbert and asked, “An inheritance case?”

Herbert explained, “Perhaps William was forced into a corner. Daniel listens to Connie a lot. If this continues, he’ll probably transfer the entire family fortune to her and her daughter. Also, William was probably forced to marry Emma, so he made a desperate bet and asked Klein to help him carry out a lawsuit. He decided to inherit the inheritance left behind by his mother.”

“What’s the result?” I asked.

In fact, I could understand William. His father had gone too far, forcing his son to marry his wife’s daughter. This was too much. Connie was obviously with him for money. If William didn’t make a move, she would probably finish all Daniel’s money in a few years. “In the end, William inherited twenty–five percent of the entire Ye family’s assets, because Daniel also has the inheritance rights of his mother’s fifty percent of the assets,” Herbert replied. Even if it was twenty-five percent, it would be fine. Otherwise, William would not even be able to get a single cent.

08 34 “Daniel was very angry about his son’s lawsuit with him, so now William has been expelled from his house by him. This matter became a joke in the upper class of A City for a while, but everyone sympathizes with William. At least William won the public opinion,” said Herbert.

I looked into his eyes and asked with a smile, “Did you participate in it?”

Hearing these words, Herbert pursed his lips. “Back then, I owed William a big favor, so I should return it to him. There used to be a lot of business opportunities between the Capgemini Company and the Wharton Group. Whether it’s out of justice or selfish motives, I should help William collect evidence.”

Hearing that, I nodded and then asked, “Do you owe William a favor because of me?”

Herbert pursed his lips into a smile. He pinched my hand and said, “Don’t worry. I’m done with this favor.”

“Thank you,” I said sincerely.

Two times in a row. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have been able to become an official employee of Stephen Firm. I might have to go to jail in the future.

At this time, Herbert’s eyes flashed. He leaned forward and said in a low voice, “I prefer you to thank me with practical actions.”

Looking into his playful and ambiguous eyes, I immediately understood what he meant. So my face turned red and I wanted to withdraw my hand.

He pinched my fingers hard and protested, “Your gratitude is not sincere at all.”

“You’re not pure-minded,” I retorted.

“I’m just not pure to you.” Herbert looked at me, his eyes full of affection Hearing this, I was in a great mood.

Herbert’s words were getting sweeter and sweeter As we were eating, we suddenly heard the loud voice of a woman.

“Ah, William, do you think I won’t be able to find you just because you’ve come here?”

Hearing this voice, I frowned.

Then I turned my head and saw a young woman in a red dress rushing to William and the young woman’s table. She was pointing at William’s nose and scolding him The originally quiet western restaurant became noisy because of her. Even the woman who was playing the piano stopped playing. Several guests looked at William’s table.

“Emma, I’ve already made it clear to you. Don’t continue pestering me.” William looked at the people around him. His voice was very low.

“You‘ve made it clear to me? You‘ve slept with me so many times. Are they for nothing? I’m telling you, I’m not short of money now, and it’s useless for you to pay for it. I want you to marry me. Now, come with me to get the marriage certificate!” Emma shouted with her hands on her waist.

“In order to get married, it takes two parties’ willingness. How can there be someone like you who force me to marry you? I’m telling you clearly today that I won’t marry you. I don’t want to see you in the future, and I don’t want to see your mother either. Go away immediately!” William was so angry that he threw the napkin in his hand on the table.

William’s words caused tears to well up in Emma’s eyes, who had been acting so aggressively just truly like you. I’ve sacrificed so much for you, yet you’re actually so heartless to me?” William felt very hot and he took the menu to fan himself, but he had no reaction to Emma’s confession at all. He despised this woman from the bottom of his heart.

This angered Emma. She glanced at the young woman sitting opposite William, grabbed the woman’s hair, and shouted, “B*tch, did you seduce William? Do you know that he has a fiancee? I’ll beat you to death!”

After that, Emma slapped the young woman in the face.
