Dump My Ex, Dive into Love with His Billionaire Uncle-Chapter 150: Wait for Oliver Hughes to Come, Announce the Relationship

Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Wait for Oliver Hughes to Come, Announce the Relationship

"Take a picture of that little pretty boy, and make sure the two of them stay in that spot for the next two hours."

Oliver Hughes understood Joy Thompson’s words instantly and directly stated the deal: "I guarantee the Thompson family can still remain in the ranking of the elite families in Peace City."

"Thank you, Young Master Oliver. I promise to handle this matter well." Joy Thompson was ecstatic.

Oliver Hughes had no patience to keep the video call going.

The noodle shop.

When Ashton Marshall returned, Bella Woods was eating his portion.

Seeing him, she immediately explained: "You were gone too long. I was afraid the noodles would get soggy, so I started eating. Should I order another bowl for you? It’ll be quick."

"No need." Ashton Marshall shook his head, sat down next to Bella Woods, and naturally used a tissue to wipe away the sweat on her forehead and the soup around her mouth.

"Well, I was thinking." Bella Woods hesitated, "Maybe we should head back first, there’s not much to see here anyway."

"I brought art supplies for you. We could go sketch at the hill in the back."

"You brought art supplies for me?" Bella Woods was quite delighted.

She was an art student, mainly focused on vibrant oil paints, but sketching was fundamental, so she often practiced it.

"Before coming, I learned that this place, though far from the city and a bit backward, precisely because of that, retains its original scenery, undeveloped and ideal for sketching."

As Ashton Marshall spoke, Bella Woods’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.

She wanted to go.

But then, Bella Woods suddenly thought of something, quickly shook her head: "Well, I’ve sketched here many times as a child, so I’m not particularly interested. Why don’t we go somewhere else? I know there’s a Peach Blossom County next to Wood County, like a hidden paradise. That place must be amazing."

Saying that, Bella Woods grabbed Ashton Marshall’s arm: "Shall we go?"

Ashton Marshall didn’t respond, his deep eyes carrying a trace of investigation.

He was certain that when he suggested going to sketch earlier, the excitement and eagerness in Bella Woods’s eyes couldn’t be faked.

And now her lack of interest, that was the lie.

Ashton Marshall’s gaze fell deeper as he looked at Bella Woods, making her somewhat uncomfortable.

In front of Ashton Marshall, she felt as if all her little secrets were laid bare.

"Oh well, I really just want to go to Peach Blossom County. Will you come with me?" Bella Woods straightforwardly made her request.

After all, with Ashton Marshall, any request of hers would be fulfilled.

Whether it was the initial misunderstanding thinking he was a male escort, or now knowing he was the Third Young Master Marshall, whatever she asked, he would satisfy.

"Mm, okay." As predicted, Ashton Marshall nodded.

Bella Woods breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I’ll hurry and eat, and once we’re done, we’ll go."

She lowered her head and quickly finished half a bowl of noodles.

Ashton Marshall watched in silence, his expression calm.

When Bella Woods and Ashton Marshall walked out of the noodle shop, Joy Thompson was approaching with several people from Wood County, pointing directly at Bella Woods.

"They’re the ones who stole my bracelet!" Joy Thompson shouted, lifting her chin.

Bella Woods was baffled: "What are you talking about?"

"I said, you stole my bracelet, and I’m now asking you to come with us to the town police station for an investigation," Joy Thompson stated bluntly.

Earlier, she had been cornered by Ashton Marshall into a stinky ditch and thought of various ways to keep these two around.

After much consideration, framing seemed the best option.

As long as she kept them there, had a run at the police station, and delayed time, eventually claiming she found the item when Oliver Hughes arrived, her purpose would be served.

And naturally, the Thompson family would be preserved as well.

This was much better than going back to the Thompson family and being criticized by the family.

"Bella Woods, you’re jealous that my family background is better than yours. Before, you were jealous of the million-level necklace I gave a friend; now seeing the bracelet in my hand, you’re jealous and just stole it. You’re truly terrifying as a person." novelbuddy.cσ๓

"I’m telling you, the people I brought today are not ordinary folks. You better obediently come with us for investigation, or it’ll be bad for you."

Finally, Joy Thompson spoke fiercely.

Bella Woods looked at these people, bewildered: "You say I stole your bracelet?"

"Yes!"

"You say, before, you flaunted a million-level necklace to your friend, and I was jealous?"

"Yes!"

Bella Woods didn’t make a sound, she just took her phone out of her pocket and showed the video on her phone to the people present.

"This is Joy Thompson at a friend’s birthday, the so-called million-level..."

Bella Woods paused: "Fake necklace."

Bella Woods then handed the video over to the leader among the people Joy Thompson brought.

The video was of Tim Season coming over to appraise Bella Woods’s necklace and then exposing Joy Thompson’s necklace as a fake.

Once the video finished playing, another video automatically played, containing information about Tim Season’s identity, the eldest son of the Season Family, and a legal representative for multiple cross-international companies.

Such an identity left no doubt about his jewelry appraisal.

Bella Woods’s moves left Joy Thompson utterly shocked: "How, how do you have this video..."

"Because, I wasn’t sure when you’d pull this stunt," Bella Woods said straightforwardly.

Joy Thompson was speechless.

Mainly because Bella Woods had kept the video and had clearly anticipated her using this incident to stir things up, so she had prepared in advance.

Joy Thompson was astonished at how Bella Woods could foresee this!

"When I was young, Rose Woods often did the same to me. It left me with a psychological shadow, so at the end of the birthday party, I asked the staff from the Sutton family for the video."

Bella Woods secretly leaned close to Ashton Marshall to explain, also lowering her voice: "I fell out with Tessa Sutton, but the staff thought I was a guest and didn’t dare to refuse. If I had asked Tessa directly, there’s no way I’d get it."

"Hehe, I’m clever, right?"

Bella Woods took the opportunity to fish for compliments, readily taking her phone back.

"Gentlemen, if I can gift a genuine million-dollar necklace, how would I steal the bracelet of someone who gifts a fake one? Such nonsense, I believe you wouldn’t fall for it. Moreover, Wood County is about to receive its rating as a civilized city. I trust none of you would want today’s incident to tarnish Wood County’s name and affect its subsequent development, right?"

Bella Woods’s words made those Joy Thompson brought look at each other, clearly showing signs of retreat.

"No, no... the video is fake." Joy Thompson struggled.

Someone said: "That’s a girl from the Woods Family. You, a sudden outsider here, slandering a Woods girl, must have an agenda. Come with me to the police station to investigate your background."

"No, it’s not related to me..."

Joy Thompson struggled but was already being taken away.

Bella Woods checked the time on her watch, grabbed Ashton Marshall and hurriedly said: "Let’s quickly go to Peach Blossom County."

When Bella Woods dragged Ashton Marshall to the car, Ashton Marshall stopped, not moving.

Bella Woods couldn’t pull him along, turned back, and asked: "Why aren’t you moving?"

"Waiting for Oliver Hughes to come," Ashton Marshall said concisely.

Bella Woods widened her eyes: "You..."

Ashton Marshall: "You’re rushing to leave because you know Oliver Hughes is coming and plan to keep hiding me, hmm?"

"I..."

Bella Woods realized Ashton Marshall intended to go public with Oliver Hughes!
