Dump My Ex, Dive into Love with His Billionaire Uncle-Chapter 144: Third Young Master Marshall: After all, I can’t be seen by anyone
Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Third Young Master Marshall: After all, I can’t be seen by anyone
"We are family, how could you even think like this?" Jade Patel said, shocked, "Isn’t family supposed to sacrifice for each other and help each other? You can help the family, shouldn’t you be proud, instead of being so calculative?"
"Bella Woods, you’ve really become so profit-driven, it’s inhuman, absolutely unlike your old self. No wonder your father never liked you. He was so looking forward to you when you first came to Peace City, and you..."
"Mom, let’s just talk business." Bella Woods interrupted Jade Patel: "You go back and think about it, if you want me to bring this up with Cyan Marshall, but first, what benefits will you exchange with me?"
Bella Woods’ words were straightforward and non-negotiable.
Jade Patel stared at Bella Woods for a long time, unable to accept this businesslike Bella Woods.
Almost a minute passed, and Jade Patel asked, "What do you want?"
"I want 10% of all future profits from Woods Clan Group." Bella Woods stated.
"Bella Woods, are you daydreaming?" Jade Patel almost burst out, "I worked so hard to give birth to you, raise you to this age, and you’re here to suck my blood and take my benefits?"
"Mom, that’s my condition. Go back and discuss it with Dad. If you agree, I’ll immediately talk to Aunt Cyan. If you can’t offer it, then don’t come looking for me.
As for this house, it’s under my property. If you want to forcibly take it back, I don’t mind going to Aunt Cyan to complain that I have nowhere to live..."
"Bella Woods!" Jade Patel yelled, unable to contain herself.
Bella Woods shut up, just silently looking at Jade Patel.
She didn’t even want to argue anymore.
Because arguing was useless, in Jade Patel’s eyes, everything Bella Woods did was just what she deserved.
Including today’s matter, which was clearly Ron Woods’ problem, yet they wanted Bella Woods to approach Cyan Marshall.
They never considered that while Cyan Marshall adored Bella Woods, Bella also couldn’t repeatedly exploit Cyan Marshall’s affection. Anyone constantly facing someone who keeps making demands would feel the relationship isn’t worthwhile.
Emotions need to be mutual.
Love should be mutual.
Not loving should also be mutual.
"Mom, rather than wasting time here, it’s better to go back and discuss with Dad whether you want to agree to my conditions." Bella Woods reminded.
Jade Patel, furious, had nothing more to say.
"Then just wait."
Jade Patel left with that comment, heading outside, "Rose Woods, we’re going home."
Rose Woods, though sitting by the sofa, had been watching the place where Jade Patel and Bella Woods conversed.
Now as Jade Patel called to leave, Rose Woods kept staring at the kitchen door, still unwilling.
When she came back, she learned from lurking in the circle’s group that Bella Woods had broken off the engagement with Oliver Hughes for an old, ugly, and poor man.
It’s said the old man was worthless, and Bella Woods used the money she tricked from home to support him.
Rose Woods really wanted to expose what kind of old man Bella Woods was keeping, to announce it to the world and tell everyone that despite her luck saving Cyan Marshall and getting engaged to Oliver Hughes, she’s shortsighted, giving up wealth and glory for an old man.
"Mom, are we really just going to..."
Rose Woods was still unwilling, clutching Jade Patel’s hand, reminding her about the person in the kitchen they needed to drag out.
Annoyed by Bella Woods, Jade Patel snapped at Rose Woods: "What do you mean? I told you to go, you didn’t. What, you want to rebel too?"
"Mom..." For the first time being scolded so harshly by Jade Patel, Rose Woods was on the verge of tears.
Jade Patel didn’t care and left directly.
Rose Woods pouted for a moment, finally giving Bella Woods a glare.
It’s all her fault!
I’ll definitely make you a joke of Peace City, along with that old man!
Rose Woods stomped and left.
Only when the door closed, did Bella Woods lean weakly against the table, letting out a long sigh.
Then she suddenly remembered the person in the kitchen, and panicked even more.
Ashton Marshall, the dignified Third Young Master, was locked in the kitchen by her. He probably never suffered such an indignity, who knew how mad he’d be...
Bella Woods hurriedly found the kitchen key and walked to the kitchen, opening the door.
She was nervous, cautiously peeking in, finding Ashton Marshall standing by the window, smoking a cigarette, hands in his pockets, body slightly leaning on the counter.
He seemed unaffected by Bella Woods opening the door.
Bella Woods forced a smile to her face: "So... Uncle, my mom’s gone, how about we go out for dinner?"
Ashton Marshall glanced at Bella Woods, chuckling: "Go out for dinner?"
"Yeah, yeah, it’s already late, if we cook, we’ll starve. Why don’t we go out to eat? I’ll treat you to a great local restaurant nearby?"
Bella Woods quickly ran in, holding onto Ashton Marshall’s arm, acting cute: "Please, I’m hungry, Uncle."
She called out to him sweetly, doing her utmost to act coy.
Usually, Ashton couldn’t resist her coquetry, and would agree to almost anything when she acted cute. But now, he was somewhat indifferent, even smiling slightly.
Ashton Marshall took down, pinched out the cigarette with his hand, and threw it into the trash.
"Better not, going out with Miss Bella Woods, I’m afraid to be seen, after all..." Ashton Marshall’s gaze returned to Bella Woods: "I can’t be seen."
He was really angry.
Seeing Ashton Marshall move to free his arm and leave, Bella Woods quickly hugged him from behind.
"Uncle, I’m sorry." She pleaded.
Ashton Marshall more coldly pried Bella Woods’ hands off: "Miss Bella Woods did nothing wrong, it’s me who can’t be seen, causing Miss Bella Woods trouble, I’ll leave now."
Ashton Marshall left the kitchen.
Bella Woods was frustrated: "I was just afraid of a mess. Who knows if you’ll lose interest first, or I’ll go abroad first."
Bella Woods mumbled.
Hearing the sounds from the living room, she didn’t think twice and rushed out, seeing Ashton Marshall already putting on his shirt to leave, not even buttoning up.
Bella Woods blocked the door entirely, holding the doorknob tightly.
Not letting him leave.
"Move," Ashton Marshall looked at Bella Woods.
As a man long in a high position, his aura was naturally powerful, intimidating without anger.
Bella Woods, just a fragile university student, couldn’t withstand Ashton Marshall’s aura.
But she knew, once Ashton Marshall left today, she might never see him again.
Didn’t want that!
Instinctively blocking him, not wanting, not wanting him to leave.
Also not wanting to never see him again.
