My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 124

Chapter 124: Decision
“Alright, guys, time is running out. Let’s stop discuss the company’s history and instead focus on the reason why we’re all gathered in this meeting room.” Bella spoke up, prompting everyone to nod and sit up straight, their attention now on her.

She starts the meeting with Daniel and his team.

…

When Bella discussed legal matters for Stellar Entertainment’s Board of Directors with Daniel and his team, Leo and Jack were busy with their own discussions.

“…So, what do you lose this time?” Leo speaks in a barely audible voice; only Jack can hear him.

Leo had known about Jack’s entire plan from the start. Jack actually appointed him to help Bella carry out this mission. He wanted to successfully get his brother-in-law out of the company without getting his hands dirty.

Jack gave Leo a sharp look as he opened his wound again. When he saw Leo’s eyebrow slightly raised, he snapped, “Stop pretending to ask. You know her too well, Leo!”

“How many?” Leo asked with a sympathetic look, but inside, he was trying to hide his laughter.

“I can’t say the exact amount, but she gets more than you…” Jack feels his heartache again, remembering he lost another share to fire his brother-in-law.

“Damn! Is she capable of making you give up that much? Why do you give her that much?”

Leo was surprised that Bella got a share that was more significant than his own, half a percent more. He quickly looked over at Bella.

‘Tsk! Bella, you should teach me the art of negotiation with Jack.’ Leo now sees Bella differently—never mess with her, or you will lose your fortune.

Now, Leo wondered how much Alimony she received from her super-wealthy ex-husband!?

“Mhm… She stabbed me right in the heart using her adorable little son as the reason she needed money to raise him. How did I ignore that!?” Jack took another long, deep sigh, thinking about his loss today.

Leo was speechless. He didn’t expect Bella to be shameless enough to use Dax as a reason.

Gosh!

But Leo felt sorry for Jack. How could he fall into Bella’s trap? Has he forgotten that Dax’s father is a chaebol in this country?

“Well, at least she only after your share, man! She didn’t ask for other luxury stuff, like a jet or island…” Leo gently taps his shoulder to uplift his mood.

Jack felt even more annoyed when he heard Leo’s words. He looked into his eyes before saying, “Well, not just company share. She also got one of my expensive condos in Central Park.”

“What the hell!” Leo shouted, too shocked to hear Jack’s words. He had forgotten entirely that they were still in the meeting room.

Leo’s voice shocked everyone there. David and the others looked at him, wondering why he was cursed, but no one asked.

After a brief moment of silence, Bella was the first to speak.

“Gentlemen, go outside if you both want to gossip about me! We are working here…” She could faintly hear what they were talking about because they were sitting close to her, but she pretended she didn’t hear it.

Leo maintained an innocent smile at Bella while venting sarcasm in his mind.

“Oh, Boss… you look tired now. I will ask someone to make a coffee for you,” Leo stood up from his seat and hurriedly left the room, ignoring the stare and slap-gaze Jack shot at him.

Bella didn’t say anything. Her gaze slowly turned to Jack now.

Jack, “…”

‘Leo! You traitor.’ Jack can’t help but scold Leo inwardly while sending Bella a warm smile. “Alright, Go on… continue your meeting. Don’t mind me here,” he said, pretending to read something on his cell phone.

…

The intensity of the meeting increased as Jack and Leo joined in the conversation.

They were so tuned in with their conversation they all lost track of time.

However,

Not long after, the intense meeting is abruptly distracted when a loud ringtone echoes in the room…

[Ooh, I see you, see you, see you every time. And oh my, I, I, I like your style. You…you make me, make me, make me wanna cry…]

Jack and the others immediately looked at Bella as if they wanted to ask through their gazes, “Seriously? Why isn’t your cell phone muted during the meeting? What song is that!?”

Bella’s face turned grim when she heard her cell phone ringtone echo in the meeting room, too loud to shock everyone.

She remembered that the ringtone was only set loud for three people — her Grandpa, Noora, and Dax.

But why does Tristan’s name appear there? She can’t believe what she saw.

‘Did Dax add his father’s number?’

Bella put aside her suspicions and quickly picked up the phone after looking Jack and the others in the eye with an apologetic look.

She stood from her seat and stood in the corner.

“Tristan, why did you call me?” Bella whisper. She didn’t want anyone to know who she was talking to.

“Bella, it’s almost seven p.m., and you have not yet come out. You’re still in your office, right?” Tristan’s voice sounds worried from the other end.

She checked her watch and was shocked to realize that what Tristan said was true. After she asked Tristan to wait, she turned to Leo and asked, “Why did you blind this glass wall?”

“Boss, you said you wanted this meeting to be private. So, I deliberately sealed all the rooms in case there was—” Leo didn’t continue his sentence when he saw Bella stop him. He immediately presses the remote on the table.

The white glass wall instantly changed to clear, revealing the conditions outside; the sky outside was already dark.

Bella took a deep breath when she realized they had been meeting too long. It was no wonder her back felt hurt; she had been sitting for too long.

“Tristan, I’m sorry I kept you waiting so long. I’ll be down soon.”

“Alright, no need to rush. Take your time…” Tristan said.

After Bella ended the call, she dismissed the legal team and asked them to carry out a plan.

Now, she just needed to wait for the shocking news in a few days!

She feels excited!
