Dump My Ex, Dive into Love with His Billionaire Uncle-Chapter 175: Little Thing, Playing the Victim Again

Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Little Thing, Playing the Victim Again

Bella Woods looked into Ashton Marshall’s eyes, feeling a bit frightened. She wanted to get off him, but Ashton held her waist, pulling their bodies closer.

He stared at her, "Did the deed and now you want to run?"

"It’s late. I just want to sleep," Bella’s eyes dodged, trying to find an excuse.

"Oh, you’re getting ready to sleep?" Ashton deliberately followed her words. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Bella quickly nodded, "I thought, since you came back from work so late, you must be tired too. Hurry and take a shower, then rest. Don’t wear yourself out."

As she spoke, she quietly struggled to leave Ashton’s embrace.

But the man seemed to see right through her little thoughts. He didn’t expose her, just looked at her with that straightforward smile, like watching a performance she was putting on.

Every time Ashton looked at her like this, Bella felt as if she was completely seen through.

"Are you resting or not?" She suddenly got a bit angry.

"So fierce?" Ashton’s hand caressed Bella’s lower back, pinching it lightly, right on her soft spot, making her instinctively shrink back.

"Little Bella, you’re impressive now. You took my sister out to play, and now you’re fierce to me, hmm?"

"I didn’t," Bella quickly denied.

"Didn’t what?" Ashton retorted, "Did you not take my sister out or were you not fierce to me?"

"I didn’t mean to be fierce to you," Bella intentionally avoided the topic of taking Calvin Marshall out today, "I was just asking if you want to rest."

"I hadn’t said you were fierce to me, and you’re already saying that I’m fierce to you..."

Ashton chuckled at her mumbling, full of grievance, and couldn’t help but laugh, pinching Bella’s nose, "Little thing, accusing me first."

"You said it," Bella’s eyes widened.

She had drunk a little, cried a bit, and the redness in her eyes hadn’t faded. When her round eyes widened, the feeling of fragility and grievance was overwhelming.

Ashton just fell for it.

No one ever thought that the high and mighty Third Young Master of the Marshall Family, now the leader of the Marshall Clan Group, who seemed cold and ruthless, couldn’t handle seeing this little girl in front of him looking so aggrieved.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, alright?" Ashton pulled Bella’s hand to his lips and kissed it, then picked her up and carried her towards the bedroom.

"You go take a shower. I’m tired and want to sleep."

"Won’t you join me?" Ashton sniffed Bella, who still smelled of alcohol.

Bella paused, quickly jumped off Ashton, "I’ll go to the room next door to wash."

After saying that, without waiting for Ashton’s reaction, she quickly slipped away.

Ashton’s face originally held a helpless smile, but as Bella slipped into the guest room, his smile gradually cooled down.

The phone chimed with several message alerts.

Tim Season: Third Young Master, here’s a video that’s suddenly gone viral in the past couple of hours. Take a look first.

Ashton clicked on the video Tim Season sent.

The setting was Joy Valley. Bella Woods wore a black dress with half-tied hair, her face painted with the makeup of a Dark Elf, her eyes clear and bright as they gazed at the man suddenly approaching her. When the man lifted her chin, the mask on his face fell.

Their eyes met, and under the background music and lighting, the atmosphere turned ambiguous, as if telling a romantic story of lovers reunited in this lifetime.

When the video ended, Tim Season’s call came through.

"Third Young Master, this video is really popular online now. The original poster deleted it, but since it went viral in just a few minutes, people downloaded and reposted it."

Ashton remained silent. Tim continued to report, "Ethan Marshall attended some events with Old Master Marshall a few years ago and showed his face in the media. It’s not long before his identity was found out.

And Miss Bella Woods was also found out to be a student at Peace City University and was once betrothed to Oliver Hughes."

"Moreover, several versions are circulating about Miss Bella Woods and Ethan Marshall, most implying that while she was Oliver Hughes’s fiancée, she and Ethan Marshall secretly..."

At this point, Tim stopped his narration momentarily.

Although just four words, ’secretly...,’ the implications spoke volumes. Tim, being sharp, had probably guessed the relationship between Ashton and Bella so he spoke with caution.

"However, there are also rumors online saying that the two were actually in love from the beginning, but due to Ethan Marshall’s status and the Woods Family attempting to forge an alliance with the Hughes Family through Miss Bella Woods, the lovers were forced apart, so to speak..."

"Find the source spreading these rumors and deal with them," Ashton instructed without the patience to hear Tim continue, ending the call right afterward.

Pictures of Joy Valley flashed in Ashton’s mind.

When Bella and Calvin Marshall had gone out, Ashton had someone keep an eye on them. Knowing they went to Joy Valley, he realized what was happening and showed up intending to catch them.

Yet, he witnessed the scene that Tim sent him in the video.

Having seen the real scene from the video, Ashton was certain the video was edited and maliciously posted online.

Although Tim managed to deal with the video and the online discussions regarding this matter.

However, everyone who should have seen it had seen it.

Including Oliver Hughes.

Oliver was partying at Paradise World when Allan Season showed him the video.

"Young Master Oliver, Bella Woods’s lover should be Ethan Marshall." Allan whispered, "So, that day in Wood County, Joy Thompson clearly saw Bella Woods’s lover but didn’t dare to say."

Intoxicated, Oliver sobered up considerably upon grabbing the video, and he smashed his liquor bottle instantly.

Everyone around him jumped in fright.

"Get out, all of you get the hell out!" Oliver kicked a table in rage.

Nearby patrons and passersby couldn’t help but glance over, but seeing it was the young master of the Hughes Family, they dared not comment, and the women nearby quickly made their escape.

"Bella Woods! Oh, Bella Woods!"

Oliver hurled his phone, "No wonder you were so audacious in breaking off the engagement. No wonder you were so fearless. Turns out you hooked up with Ethan Marshall!"

"You think by hooking up with Ethan Marshall you can turn the tables?"

"Heh, who is Ethan Marshall? He’s crushed under my uncle at Marshall Clan Group, and with just a word from me, I could make both you and Ethan Marshall die!"

The more Oliver cursed, the more upset he became, and he stormed off with his coat in hand.

Allan chased after him, "Young Master Oliver, where are you going?"

"To find Bella Woods. Today I’m going to tell her choosing Ethan Marshall is the dumbest thing she could do!"

Oliver even imagined that Ethan Marshall might be at Bella Woods’s place, and he brought along a wrench, intending to break down the door and catch them in the act!
