The next morning, Bella awoke to find herself back in Hatchbay.
âWas I teleported here?!â she exclaimed.
âOuch!â She pinched her cheek to make sure she was not dreaming.
âSo, I really am at home,â Bella thought.
Mila and Sasha entered the room at that point to visit Bella. Sasha teased Bella, âTeleport? You wish!â
âBella, how are you? Is your stomach still hurting?â Mila walked over to the bedside and sat down. She
gently caressed Bellaâs sunken cheek. âYouâve lost weight again. Have you been working too hard.
recently?â
âBella, I think you shouldnât return to Savrow, that god-forsaken place. Why donât you just stay at
home?â Sasha said, her eyes reddened with concern. âYouâre the darling of our family. You should be
pampered and cherished like a princess here. Why bother with competing with those boorish men?
Whatever you want, just let us know. Even if you want to eat Bobo, Iâll have it prepared for you as
sashimi!â
Bella could not help but laugh. âIâll pass on that offer, Aunt Sasha. Alligator sashimi is a little too exotic
for me.â
âSasha doesnât know how to express her concern. She cares for you a lot.â Mila felt her heart ache.
She was filled with self-blame. âYouâve been through so much. I wonât be able to explain it to your
mother. Before she left us, she entrusted us to let you grow up worry-free and not to let you suffer.ââ
âFor heavenâs sake, it was just a stomachache. A minor ailment.â Bella waved her hand, feeling that the
whole situation was exaggerated.
Sashaâs eyes widened like copper bells. âA minor ailment? Donât you know when you were a child, we
would worry for days on end when you had the slightest cough?â
âBella, your father stayed up all night because of your illness. He was waiting for you to wake up and
didnât even have breakfast.â Mila sighed. Both the father and daughter pair were stubborn and difficult
to deal with..
âHow can that be?â Bella, who had been lazily lying down, sat up abruptly upon hearing that Wyatt
hadnât eaten due to her. âWait for me. Iâll go over and pry open his mouth to feed him!â
Suddenly, she asked, âBy the way, how did I come back last night?â
Sasha replied, âAsher carried you back.â
âOf course, it would be Ash. Big brother is always so reliable.â Bella thought to herself.
Sasha said with a frown, âBut when Asher brought you back, his expression wasnât great. I rarely see
him in such a mood. Girl, what did you do to him?â
Bella was stunned and said, âHow could I even dare do anything to
Ash? I only make trouble for outsiders, but never for my family. Your all know that.â
Mila and Sasha said simultaneously, âSo, he did something to someone else.â
Bella rubbed her sore forehead. She turned over and got out of bed. Well, letâs not worry about that
now. Iâll go see Wyatt first.â
In the study, Wyatt sat on the sofa, sighing. His brows were furrowed
Recalling the previous night when Asher brought Bella back from Savrow. Her face was pale, and she
squirmed in pain even in her sleep. His heart felt uncomfortable, as if it were being stabbed with a
knife.
âChairman, have you looked at the trending searches today? The internet is full of praise for Ms. Bella.
They are making her out to be a goddess descended into the mortal realm.â Quentin said, trying to
lighten up the mood.
âA goddess? I think sheâs more like a mischievous monkey. She wonât be happy until she creates
trouble!â Wyatt snapped and slapped the armrest in frustration. âIs it so hard for her to just be a
pampered, wealthy heiress? Does she have to create chaos to feel content?â
Celeste blinked in surprise, her bright eyes showing bewilderment. Wyatt, do you⦠Did you already
know that Alexa is Bellaâs pseudonym?â
âSheâs my daughter. Apart from the fact that I didnât know she married that Salvador boy, what else is
there that I donât know about her?â
Wyatt exclaimed as he slapped his thighs in frustration.
The little girl he used to change diapers for is now gradually going wild in her pursuits. Her actions were
becoming increasingly unpredictable, and he found it harder and harder to manage.
âWell, you should be proud of Bella, then,â Celeste suggested.
The thought of Bella being Alexa excited Celeste, and her delicate cheeks flushed. âA top-tier jewelry
designer! The Queen of Inalia wears her jewelry at state banquets. Mila and Sasha say this.
accomplishment is worth boasting about for a lifetime. Itâs a glory our family!â
âCeleste, itâs not that I donât appreciate Bellaâs talent. Itâs just that I feel sheâs too flamboyant and
unrestrained in her actions. She has been doing things with such a domineering attitude in Savrow, so
sheâll make enemies and get into trouble!â Wyatt massaged his temples in frustration.
Wyatt added, âNowadays, people are not to be trusted. They are all harboring ill intentions. Iâm afraid
she might be plotted against! Even if I have connections and can help her out, it might be too late by
the time we act.â
At that moment, the door opened, and Bella swaggered in with at radiant face.
âHmph! Let me take a look. Which little brat here isnât obedient? If you donât eat properly, Iâll pry open
your treasure trove and donate all those vases and pots to the old folksâ home to use as chamber pots!â
âBella, are you feeling alright?â Celeste quickly asked with concern.
