My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 117

Chapter 117: Can’t Refused Dax Request
The day it was passed quickly.

Bella spent her entire afternoon engrossed in reports about Stellar Entertainment.

The more she read, the dizzier she felt, realizing the company’s dire state.

Some directors acted as sugar daddies for Stellar Entertainment’s young talent. Surprisingly, they are using company funds instead of their own.

Stellar Entertainment often paid hefty prices for poor results, mainly when directors utilized their family companies for various projects.

To make matters worse, the CFO of Stellar Entertainment even produced a movie based on his son’s trash script, which flopped in the market and caused significant losses.

All this time, the financial reports sent to the head office didn’t reflect the reality here.

Bella felt fortunate to have Stefan, who uncovered their deceitful under-the-table agreement.

Now, she only needed to wait for Sam’s report. She required more evidence to dismiss and sue them for embezzling funds from her company.

She vowed to ensure they left with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

…

A sinister smile crept across Bella’s face as she closed her laptop and stood up from her chair, peering outside to bless her eyes with a beautiful blue sky.

However, Bella’s mind was still filled with company matters.

‘Did Jack know that his friend, whom he entrusted to run Quantum Capital and Stellar Entertainment, was betraying him? Stabbing him from behind!?’ This thought had bothered her.

Stellar Entertainment wasn’t a new company in this country. It had been established seven years ago. She could imagine the amount of money they’d stolen.

Bella had only checked one subsidiary company and discovered numerous financial problems. She hoped the others weren’t as troublesome as Stellar Entertainment.

She sighs deeply.

“That poor Jack will be shocked if he knows all this…”

****

Bella no longer has the energy to read all those documents. She decides to return home after she gets a text from her son.

[Baby Dax] Mommy, what time will you return home?

[Baby Dax] I miss you, Mommy (Cry emoji)

How could she stay longer in the office if her baby texted her like that? She can’t resist his cuteness. Well, nobody can.

Bella tidied her table quickly and then asked Sam to prepare a car for her in the lobby.

While heading to the elevator, Bella called Dax. Her smile grew wider when she heard his cute and cheerful voice from the other end.

“Hello, Mommy… what time do you go home?”

“Baby, I’m finished now and have just to enter the elevator. I will arrive home before you know it…” She smiles when she hears his excited cheers. “Did you take a nap?”

“Yes, I just woke up and texted you.”

“Alright, I will arrive home soon.”

Bella ended the call when she arrived at the lobby.

Her cell phone rang again before she exited the main entrance. She was suprised to see the caller.

She was reluctant to pick up, staring at her phone for a few seconds.

“Hi, Tristan… What is it?”

“Why do you sound unhappy picking up my call?” Tristan’s voice rang from the other end, surprised Bella.

She looked around and found a familiar car that had just stopped in the lobby.

“Tr-Tristan? Why did you co—” Bella couldn’t finish her words. She was too shocked to see Tristan coming to her office.

She was worried that someone might recognize him. However, suddenly, Laura Kiels flashed in her mind. She dismisses her worry with a sour smile.

‘Geez, Bella… This man didn’t come to meet you. He comes to meet his woman…’

How could she have thought this man would come to pick her up? It was impossible, right!?

However, just as Bella wanted to tease him about Laura Kiels, she heard Tristan say,

“Get in my car. We will head home together…”

‘What the hell?’ Bella can’t help but curse. ‘He comes to pick me up? Seriously!?’

She narrowed her eyes at the car’s back row. Even though she couldn’t see through the thick, dark window, she believed Tristan was staring back at her.

“If you don’t enter my car now, I will come out and greet you there,” Tristan said casually, but Bella instantly worried. “I came here after receiving our son’s phone call. Dax asked me to pick you up.” he smiled, remembering this was one of Dax’s ideas.

Dax plans all of this, ensuring his parents return home together. He even contacted Dylan to empty Tristan’s schedule at noon.

“NO! Don’t ever step out of your car, Tristan!” Bella scolded him quickly, afraid someone would see him. “You stay there. I need to talk with my driver.”

Beep!

After ending the call, she walked toward Sam, who was now waiting for her.

“Sam, you don’t have to drive me home. I will go home with someone,” Bella said. She silently took a deep breath before continuing. “You can continue your investigation and report to me if you find something suspicious.”

“Yes, boss…” Sam slightly nods. After seeing Bella enter the luxury car, he returned to the building.

…

Tristan tried to keep a straight face, holding back the urge to smile when Bella sat beside him. He was amazed by his son’s brilliant idea.

After the vehicle left the building, he turned to Bella and said, “Please don’t blame me for suddenly appearing here. I was only following our son’s request.”

Bella narrowed her eyes at him. She doubts it.

Tristan chuckled before reassuring her, “I couldn’t refuse our son’s request. When he called me, I happened to be passing by your office. You can ask him if you don’t believe me…”

Bella took a deep breath. She was annoyed but couldn’t take her frustration out on him.

They both fell silent.

Bella turned her gaze out the window, avoiding Tristan’s gaze.

She tried to enjoy the view outside. After so many things happened today, she just needed to rest her mind. She slowly closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

But, not long after, Tristan’s voice was heard again.

“Are you still annoyed with me? Alright, I will call Dax now—”

“No need,” Bella stopped him. She turns her gaze to see him, “I believe you.”
