My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 176

Chapter 176: His Powerful Slap
Once again, Bella’s body shivered. She couldn’t tell if it was due to her fever or her boiling anger towards Henry’s words and her father’s new evil plan.

Bella could feel the eternal flame burning in her heart hearing Henry’s words as she said.

“Henry Donovan, tell your father… I no longer considered him as my father. I don’t need anybody’s help to look for a husband. I could find one for myself. And you, there is no need to address me as your sister anymore. In my eyes and my mind, you are no longer my big bro! And I know it would be easy for you to accept that because you NEVER ACT LIKE ONE!”

Henry gasped, shocked at her daring words.

She wanted to sever a tie with us!?

This bitch!!

It looks like this little bitch asked to be beaten, right?

How could she so casually suggest breaking off from the family?

Has she gone crazy?

Henry couldn’t believe it. This timid girl had changed 180 degrees — she dared to speak and had confidence.

“You bitch—” Henry’s face turned red instantly as if all the blood was now rushing to his face. He was outraged to hear Bella’s arrogant words.

“Don’t get in my way,” Bella snarled, fixing her cold gaze on Henry. She felt ashamed to share blood with him.

“Look’s like you really need to taste my slap like when we were kids, bitch!” Henry said. An evil grin frames his smug face before he raises his hand and slaps Bella. “You, bitch…” his words trail off when his hand hangs in the air—he can’t move his hand—someone holds it.

Henry looked over his shoulder and was surprised to see a tall man with short, military-style hair standing behind him. The man gripped his hand tightly. He tried to free his hand, but the man’s strength was not his match.

The more Henry tried to pull his hand away, the tighter the man’s grip became. He started to feel his hands hurt as if his bones were being crushed; the excruciating pain caused his face to turn red.

“What the hell, Man! Let go of my hand! Who are you anyway? Mind your own business! How dare you interfere in my family affairs?” Henry roared, veins popping out on his forehead.

The man didn’t bother to answer Henry. His cold gaze slowly turned warm as he looked at Bella. In his polite tone, he asked, “Are you okay?”

“Let go of his hand, Sam. I’m fine,” Bella answered, smiling at Sam.

Bella was glad Sam showed up at the right time—right before this shameless Henry slapped her. What excellent timing!

“What do you want me to do with this trash, Boss!?” Sam asked casually, but Henry, who heard his words, felt even more angry.

‘TRASH!? How dare this man call me that?’ Henry was about to open his mouth to scold this big man, but he almost vomited blood when he heard Bella’s words.

Bella glances at Sam and repeatedly blinks to signal him to follow her plan. Luckily, Sam witnessed how she punished Andreas Corby, so he immediately knew what she wanted.

“Even though this man’s slap didn’t hit me, I felt traumatized…” Bella said in a sad and frightening tone as she lowered her eyes, trying to hold back laughter when she saw Henry’s shocked expression.

After a pause of a few seconds, Bella continued her words, “You can do anything with his hands, such as… breaking his fingers or twisting his arms, so that he can’t hit women again in the future. This man is a menace to our civil society.”

“Go it, Boss! Please return to your table. It would be best if you didn’t witness what I’m about to do to this white trash…” Sam said, grinning as he pinned Henry against the wall to give Bella space to walk past him.

Henry was left speechless and started to fear his fate when he was forcefully pushed to the wall and unable to move. He cursed inwardly, frightened by this man pushing him hard against the wall. He could feel that this big man was not just anyone; he may be a military or martial arts expert, and judging from the way he talked to Bella, it seemed this man was her bodyguard.

Henry clenched his teeth, angry, as he tried to figure out how to convince the man to let him go without making the big man even madder at him. After thinking for a while, he planned to offer him much money.

“Don’t worry about the consequences, Sam. I’ll erase your trail so you can do whatever you want.” Bella smiles at Sam and then mockingly at Henry before walking away.

After several steps, she pulled out her cell phone. She had a moment of hesitation, like a second, before finally dialing Stefan’s number.

Bella talked with Stefan for a few minutes. She asked him to delete all the CCTV footage from around the area in this restaurant, including hacking Henry’s cell phone and cloning it.

As Bella walked towards the VIP room, she muttered, ‘Do you want to hit me again, brother? Over my dead body.’

Before she enters the VIP room, Bella tries to forget her shock at her father’s audacity in finding her a new husband.

She will deal with him later.

Upon re-entering the VIP room, Bella was surprised to find the food had already been served. However, no one eats. Everyone seemed to be waiting for her. She felt terrible and could only offer a smile of apology before taking her seat.

Leo leaned closer to Bella and whispered, “That’s an unusually long restroom excuse, Boss. What took you so long? Are you okay?” He noticed her red eyes and tired expression.

“Yeah. I’m great,” Bella whispered to Leo casually, ignoring her ache. Then, she fixed her gaze on Lucian and the three Directors having lunch with them.

“Gentlemen, please enjoy your lunch…” she politely said as she began to eat. However, the Honey-Grilled Prawns she loved tasted bland.

She secretly took a deep breath, waiting for the opportunity to take the badly needed med.

As everyone started to eat and stopped paying attention to her, Bella reached for her Birkin bag, took out two Ibuprofen pills, and swallowed them with water. She has decided to cancel her trip to the mining site because she feels her body won’t handle it. Instead, Leo will be sent in her place.

She needs to go to the hospital to receive a Vitamin C IV injection; otherwise, she will take longer to recover and make her family worry about her condition.
