My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 123

Chapter 123: Her Identity Was Revealed
He shook his head while remembering those lines he had read in the past, “Women sure are creatures that are hard to deal with.” And Bella’s just proves those lines.

Sigh!

“Okay, one percent…” Jack gave another number, but Bella still ignored him. He quietly vented his frustration in his mind.

“My friend, Bella… This is my final offer to you. One and a half percent, take it or leave it!” He said firmly.

The corners of her lips lifted, revealing a charming, icy smile; however, her smile gradually vanished before saying,

“Jack, please don’t sulk like that. Do you know that my shares are the smallest among us? Also, I’m the only one with children.” Bella’s shoulders slumped. “Inflation makes me have to work hard to earn money. You know about that, right?”

Jack, “…”

‘What the hell!? Now, she uses little Dax to sway me?’ Jack can’t believe what he hears. He tries to shut his mind. He doesn’t want to listen to her words, or else he will suffer a heavy loss this time.

“I just need to earn money for my child’s better future. And did you forget that you are my son’s godfather!?” She said while pretending to wipe away the traces of fake tears.

Jack, “…”

This woman succeeded in convincing him. He gives in.

After Jack took another fresh air to fill his stuffy chest, he stated, “One and a half percent and one house in this city. This is my final offer, Bella. I will not add anything…”

Bella smiles at him, “Your condo near Central Park, New York…”

Jack attempted to speak but could not form words, settling for a nod to show his agreement with her demand.

A spring-like smile crosses Bella’s beautiful face as she clasps her hand happily.

“Deal!!” she stood from her seat and offered him a handshake. “Happy to make a deal with you, Mr. Foster!”

Jack, “….”

She left him and walked to her desk. “Alright, let’s go to the meeting room now. They are now waiting for us to discuss this matter…”

Suddently Bella feels in a good mood. She took her iPad and left her office with Jack, heading to the meeting room.

Meanwhile,

Leo sat in the meeting room with four people from Quantum Capital’s legal team and Stellar Entertainment. Daniel Sullivan, the Director of the Legal Department, leads the legal team. He worked for the RDF group a few years ago; however, Jack sent him here last year to help the company.

Daniel Sullivan and his team already know about corruption in the company. Bella met him in person a few days ago.

Today was the day they would decide what legal action to take and which Board of Directors to remove from the company.

Daniel didn’t care about the names on the list but was only concerned about one, Andreas Corby. He knew exactly who this person was.

He was concerned about the safety of Bella Donovan, the new CEO. Being a part of the RDF Group CEO family, Andreas Corby was untouchable. Daniel wanted to remind Bella about this but hadn’t had the opportunity yet.

…

When Bella entered the meeting room, Daniel was surprised to see the man behind her.

‘Jack Foster? What is he doing here? Why did he come here? Did he know about this matter and come to stop it!?’ Daniel’s worries about Bella increased.

Daniel Sullivan stood abruptly from his seat and greeted them.

“Ms. Donovan,” Daniel smiles at Bella and then looks at Jack. He said, “Mr. Foster, I’m surprised to see you in this city. Welcome, sir…”

When the other legal team member hears ‘Foster’s’ name, they all are wearing the same expression as Daniel — suprised. They also stood and greeted him.

“Okay, gentlemen, let’s sit again,” Jack said while smiling at all of them. When his eyes fixed on Daniel, he continued. “Please continue your meeting; don’t mind me here. I’m only stopping by to visit Ms. Bella…”

Jack glanced at Bella, gesturing for her to sit on the head of the table while he sat to her left side beside Leo.

Daniel was surprised to see how respectful Jack was to Bella. This is a different treatment than he usually did to other company CEOs.

Now, Daniel is starting to question Bella Donovan’s background.

‘Who is she? Why does Jack insist that she should be the CEO of Quantum Capital?’ He has known this position empty for almost seven years. Finally, this year, Jack appointed a young female out of the blue.

“Daniel, something seems to be bothering you now?” Jack asked when he saw Daniel still standing while the others were sitting.

“Sir, may I speak with you for a moment?” Daniel looked into Jack’s eyes as if he wanted Jack to see his concern. “Just the two of us…” he continued. He tried to inform him about his brother-in-law’s involvement and pleaded for him not to make trouble for Ms. Bella Donovan.

Everyone is staring at Daniel. They appear confused by his tense expression, then notice Jack, who looks relaxed.

“Daniel, I know your concern. You might sit now.” Jack said.

When Jack saw Daniel finally sit down, he continued, “Okay, let me tell you guys something confidential.” He saw everyone in return. “Maybe you don’t know or realize that RDF Group doesn’t belong to me alone, right!?”

Daniel and his team nodded.

“And, you may not realize that RDF comes from the first letters of the last names of its three founders.”

They all frowned.

Jack slightly raised his brow when he looked at Bella, who was ignoring them; she was engrossed in reading something on her iPad.

“R stands for Reed, D stands for Donovan—” Jack smiled when he saw them gasp in surprise. “…and the letter F stands for my last name, Foster. So, the woman next to me is one of the founders of RDF. And the reason we established a subsidiary company in this country is because this is her country.”

Daniel Sullivan and his team were shocked beyond words to know this. No wonder Jack deliberately emptied the CEO of Quantum Capital for a long time just for Bella Donovan’s return.
