Dump My Ex, Dive into Love with His Billionaire Uncle-Chapter 177: One Moment She Misses Him, The Next He Comes to Pick Her Up

Chapter 177: Chapter 177: One Moment She Misses Him, The Next He Comes to Pick Her Up

Bella Woods wondered countless times in her mind, unable to fathom how Oliver Hughes had discovered the relationship between her and Ashton Marshall.

What Bella didn’t notice was that Oliver had been observing her expressions all along while she was lost in thought.

At first, Oliver’s certainty that there was an issue between Bella and Ethan Marshall might have been a deliberate test, but now Bella’s every reaction confirmed to Oliver that she had an immoral relationship with Ethan.

"Of all people, why him!" Oliver almost gritted his teeth as he questioned.

Bella was initially quite panicked.

She had always been anxious.

From the moment she learned about Ashton Marshall’s identity, it felt like a ticking bomb for Bella.

This bomb could destroy Ashton’s reputation, ruin her relationships with Cyan Marshall and the Hughes Family, and betray Cyan’s years of care and affection for her.

"Speak up! When we broke up, you had so much to say to me, and now you’re silent?"

Oliver suddenly stepped forward, grabbing Bella’s shoulders and shaking her, his voice rising: "Say something! Why are you silent now?

Bringing someone to your home, and now you’re quietly standing here?"

"Bella Woods, I never thought you’d be so low! Picking a worthless illegitimate child over me, the rightful future head of the Hughes Family!"

Even though Bella’s body was shaken violently, the moment she heard the words ’illegitimate child,’ a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Oliver pushed Bella away with a smirk, "You two make a fitting pair. A country bumpkin and a filthy illegitimate child."

At this, Bella was almost certain that Oliver didn’t know about her relationship with Ashton, instead mistakenly believing that the person with her was Ethan Marshall, not Ashton Marshall.

"Why aren’t you talking?" Oliver, seeing her continued silence, raised his chin and asked again.

"There’s nothing to say," Bella responded truthfully.

Oliver found it ridiculous: "Are you so ashamed that you have nothing to say?"

"Think whatever you want," Bella said, "You came all the way here in the middle of the night to yell at my door, just for this?"

"Now that you’ve spoken, I have nothing more to respond to you with. Can you leave?"

"Bella Woods, don’t act all high and mighty in front of me!" Oliver was irritated by Bella’s attitude.

Deep down, he believed that with Bella’s background, she should be pleading to stay with him, not talking to him so calmly every time.

It made Oliver feel as though Bella was above him.

A feeling Oliver found very difficult to accept.

"Then how do you want me to talk to you?" Bella retorted, "Beg Young Master Oliver to come back? Apologize for breaking up?"

"But didn’t you tell me you’d consider me like a sister? So is this attitude of yours not proving you’d never truly consider me a sister?"

"Don’t use that against me," Oliver interrupted Bella unhappily.

However, his tone was noticeably softer than before.

He hadn’t forgotten about the stunt he planned for the birthday party next week.

Oliver’s eyes flashed coldly as he stared at Bella.

To him, Bella’s breakup and negative attitude were betrayals, and he was determined to make her pay dearly at next week’s party.

She must realize what a huge mistake it was to leave him and treat him this way!

"I’m just reminding you, the choice you’ve made. Despite my attitude, some people might end you, Bella Woods."

With a cold laugh, Oliver couldn’t be bothered to stay any longer and left directly.

Bella stood still as she watched Oliver leave.

The door, damaged by Oliver, could not close properly, allowing the cold air to seep in.

Bella stood in the chill, wearing only a thin nightgown, but she seemed impervious to the cold as she stood for a while.

Only then did she move to block the door with a table.

Afterward, she returned to her bedroom to get her phone.

Bella wanted to find the videos that were filmed today at Joy Valley. She had a bad feeling back then, and now with Oliver barging in at night, she figured it was because he saw those videos.

However, when Bella searched online, no video could be found.

Presumably, after talking to Calvin Marshall to keep an eye on this matter with professionals, Calvin had taken care of it, although some still leaked, which Oliver saw.

Bella felt quite complex; Oliver was like a madman constantly trying to find any man associated with her.

Now that it’s Ethan Marshall, she wasn’t even sure if it was a good thing or not.

Luckily, Ashton Marshall received a call from the company about some urgent business, preventing him from being at her place.

Otherwise, Oliver would have barged in to find Ashton with her.

After some thought, Bella decided to text Ashton.

Bella: Are you done yet?

Ashton immediately video-called, startling Bella.

She hurriedly lay back on the bed, turned on a light, and then answered the video call.

On the other side, Ashton, seated in an office chair, was backlit by the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the nightscape of Peace City.

"Couldn’t sleep? Or did a nightmare wake you?" Ashton asked softly, gazing at Bella. "Hmm?"

"It’s nothing, just got up to drink water, feeling a bit uneasy without you here," Bella admitted honestly.

Ashton had stayed with her until she slept.

Bella wasn’t certain when she developed the habit of only falling asleep peacefully in Ashton’s arms, but without him at night, waking up to an empty space felt haunting.

Ashton, pleased to hear Bella’s dependence, smiled faintly. "Well, shall I come back now?"

Bella, remembering the broken door and thinking Ashton would undoubtedly question it, quickly said, "No need, you’re busy enough with going back and forth."

Ashton didn’t protest her refusal and offered another solution: "I’ll have an assistant come to pick you up. Just put on a coat and head to the underground garage."

"Huh?" Bella was taken aback. "Isn’t that too much?"

Ashton showed no sign of joking, straightforwardly saying, "You can’t sleep without me, yet you don’t want me coming back and forth. I’ll bring you here instead; what’s the problem?"
