Henry lashed out at Bella as if she had killed his mother.
Steven turned red, but Bella did not take the remarks to heart. She curled her lips and said with a
smile, âTsk. Interesting.â
âWhat did you say?â Henry became flustered.
âI meant to say, Xena is interesting.â Bella took another piece of chocolate.
Steven smiled dotingly to himself when he noticed they were running low on sweets.
âYou have only known Xeña for two months, but she has you wrapped around her little finger. You are
willing to risk your future and fight against the rich and powerful for her.
âTsk. Tsk. I should learn from Ms. Gordon.â
âYou have no right to speak ill of Xena! Youâre the vile wo thinks you own everybody because you have
money. Xena w have her family to lean on if it were not for you. You ruined he
Henry shouted in an outburst. âYou people with money are the b of society!â
Steven did not get it. Bella could just turn Henry in to the police instead of wasting her breath with the
hopeless romantic..
âI donât mind you ripping into me. Itâs not like I can stop you. My father survived the criticism and more
than one assassination because he has power and money.â
Bellaâs eyes were cold. âBut you gave my family bad business, so donât blame me for going after you.
Iâve always been the type to reward those who are loyal to me. Nothing good ever happens to those
who go against me.â
Fear washed over Henry as he shuddered.
Bellaâs presence made his hair stand
âI know you want to make sense of the whole thing, so Iâll tell you.
Xena was never in love with you. She only used you because you work for KS Group.â
âShut up! Shut up! Donât try to tear us apart!â
With Bellaâs words getting to him, Henry screamed like an animal. âI did everything to help with Xenaâs
revenge plan! Donât try to throw mud on her! Donât try to frame her!â
Bella looked at him indifferently and ordered Steven to turn on the TV.
Lewd photos appeared on the screen.
Those were lewd photos of the director of âHeadlinesâ and Xena, who was Henryâs alleged girlfriend.
Steven was shocked.
Although he had looked into Xena, that was not the information he provided to Bella.
âThat canât be true. It isnât! Those photos must be edited. They are not real!â
Henry hugged his head in agony as he stared at the woman smiling coyly in a middle-aged
bespectacled manâs arms. The fact that she was not forced into it broke Henryâs heart.
Bella remained composed. The photos left little to the imagination. compared to Rosalindâs.
Gagging at the photos, Steven looked away.
âTheir hotel stays date back to a year ago. If you donât believe me, I can show you videos of their dates.
Care to watch?â
âNo!â
Henry cried in pain and fell to the ground with a thud.
âW-Where did you get these, Ms. Bella?â Steven whispered in her ear.
Bella kept a blank face. âIâll tell you later.â
âWhy⦠Why did she do this to meâ¦â As tears streamed down his face Henry simply could not get over
it.
âThe information you provided her helped with her revenge, and she could get a little something out of
it too.â Steven looked askance at Henry.
âA little something?â
âYou were used by Xena. Someone else bribed her to do it too.â
