My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 121

Chapter 121: Suspicious Jack
A week later.

Bella’s week was like a roller coaster.

Tristan came to her house more often for unreasonable reasons. He stopped by every morning to have breakfast or lunch with them, which stressed her out.

What surprised Bella was that her grandfather didn’t care if Tristan came to their house too often. He seems to support Tristan.

When she asks her Grandpa, he answers with ambiguous answers or uses Dax as an excuse. Obviously, whenever Dax gets involved, she stops asking questions and drops that matter.

Last weekend, Tristan was busy at her house overseeing the construction workers who were building a new road between their homes. Now, they no longer need to go through the main gate to visit each other’s homes.

The funny thing is that Sam, her company driver, hasn’t carried out his duties in the last few days. He didn’t have a chance to do that. This is because Tristan has been taking on the role of driving for her. He picks her up in the morning to take her to the office and then picks her up again in the evening when she returns home.

Initially, Bella refused. However, she eventually got tired and found saying no to her son challenging, especially when Dax seemed to side with his father.

She finally lets Tristan drive her around, but if the media or his parents know, he must stop immediately.

Even though Tristan challenges her patience, she is grateful to be able to forget him every time she is in her office. Her plans to reshuffle Stellar Entertainment’s Board of Directors successfully distract her mind.

She had received a lot of evidence from Sam’s investigations in the field. And there is no longer any reason for her to delay carrying out her plan.

…

Bella was about to meet with her company’s legal team in the afternoon. Still, to her annoyance, someone suddently appeared in her office and asked her to hold the meeting.

She stood from her seat and glanced at the man standing near the glass window with his back facing her.

“Do you want coffee, Jack?” she asked, heading to the coffee maker at the corner.

“Yeah,” Jack turned to look at him. “So, when are you going to start the meeting?” he was surprised to see her so relaxed that she needed to drink coffee first.

Bella chuckled. She ignored Jack and focused on making an Expresso for him and a latte for herself.

Later,

She joined him, sitting on the sofa and placing his coffee on the table before starting to enjoy her latte.

“Boss, did you forget you are the one who stopped me from meeting them?” Bella finally responds to him. She places her empty cup on the table and continues. “Why are you rushing here? I told you before that I will handle everything.”

Jack crossed his legs as he casually emptied his expresso. He didn’t answer her, but his smile was enough to make Bella suspicious of something.

Many questions began to arise in Bella’s mind, seeing Jack’s expression, which looked calm, not panicked as Leo had feared. This man would stop her from continuing the investigation. But he seemed relaxed now. Why?

Something isn’t, right?

She narrowed at him, trying to figure out what he was thinking. But she can’t figure something out.

The two stared at each other without saying anything, as if engaged in an intense inner battle.

After some time, Jack laughs when he can’t hold his amusement. “Hahaha, Oh, Bella… I know you miss me. But, please, enough staring at me like you want to eat me.”

Since arriving, Bella gave Jack annoyed looks and sharp words. However, Jack ignores her annoyance. He was exhausted from explaining everything.

“—Seriously? Why did you come?” Bella finally said something after a long pause.

“Why are you asking again? Of course, I came here to see you and Dax. I miss you guys. You’ve been here almost a month, and I already miss you… But you…you didn’t miss me?” He responds with an innocent tone.

Bella, “…”

“Jack, I don’t have time to play words with you. I’m busy…” She gives him a — speak now, or I will leave — kind of gaze.

When he saw him starting to pay more attention to her, she continued, “Why did you stop me from meeting the legal team? What do you want? Just let me know.”

Bella begins to become suspicious of Jack. Yesterday, he stopped her from doing anything regarding Stellar Entertainment.

What surprised Bella was that this man said he would fly to Astington to discuss this matter. But he had arrived more than an hour earlier and had not mentioned the matter.

This confused her.

“I already tell you my reason, Bella.” He shook his head while smiling.

“Heaven!! Jack, no… not about your personal matter to meet us. But, about office matter.”

Jack didn’t say anything. He avoided her sharp gaze.

“Jack, I know you too well. What is more important than leaving your wife for a business trip?”

Bella smiled when she saw his expression slightly change.

Jack tries to maintain calm, but this girl knows how to attack him. He silently took a deep sigh.

“Tsk… Tsk… If I could, I would transfer my thoughts to you to make you believe.”

Bella is still suspicious.

After a brief pause,

A thought crossed Bella’s mind.

Suddently, she laughed when she realized why this man abruptly flew here after knowing she wanted to reshuffle the board of directors at Stellar Entertainment and Quantum Capital.

Bella can’t help but say, “Oh, Jack! You are such a coward. How dare you use me for something you can’t do?”

“W-What do you mean?” Jack asked confusedly, even though he inwardly scolded Bella for having a sharp instinct. But he still doubted whether she had guessed it correctly.

“Hahaha, you—” Bella didn’t continue her words but called Stefan.

When the call connected, she gave Jack a deadly gaze before speaking to Stefan.

“Stefan, do you know the relationship between the CEO of Stellar and our lovely boss?”

Jack’s eyes widen in shock.
