My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 249

Chapter 249: Being Honest To Her Grandpa
“Tristan is so hardworking…” Isaac chuckled and turned to see Bella. “You don’t have to work so hard to build someone else’s company, dear. Stay at home and play with Dax… Let Tristan work hard.”

Isaac is concerned to see her working hard. He thought his granddaughter was unaware that her life was no longer miserable, unlike when she was alone in a foreign land.

Bella smiled, hearing her grandfather’s words.

“Grandpa, thank you for your concern. But I can’t stop working because I can’t abandon and ignore my responsibilities to my company. I have to work—”

“Do they pay you so well that you don’t want to resign?” Isaac interrupted her before Bella could finish her words. “My dear granddaughter, I could infinitely send you money every month to replace the salary they pay you. Or are you worried about breaching the contract?” he asked, his tone showing a genuine concern.

She took a deep sigh, thinking about whether to just tell him the truth or not.

“I will send my lawyer to meet them,” Isaac continues his sentence. He can’t stand seeing his granddaughter suffer again while working for someone else.

This was actually Isaac Donovan’s concern when he learned of Bella’s work in the company.

When Isaac knew that Tristan was chasing Bella back after divorcing her five years ago, he specifically asked Tristan to ask Bella to stop working and become a stay-at-home wife and mother instead. But Tristan had reported to him that he also failed to ask her to resign from her company. Tristan said he was too afraid to force her, fearing she would be angry and refuse to return to him.

Bella can’t help but laugh when she hears her grandpa’s words, which causes Isaac to raise his brow slightly, confused with her laugh.

“Grandpa…” Bella said after her laugh subsided. “Well, I’m not working for someone else. I actually work for my own company.”

Instantly, Isaac’s expression turned shocked. He didn’t expect Bella to own a company.

“Y-You own a company?”

“Yes, Grandpa.” She smiles, looking at her grandpa’s comically shocked expression.

“If I’m not mistaken, you work at Quantum Capital? The investment company, right?”

Isaac knows from Nick the details about Bella’s company; Quantum Capital is not a new company, but it was founded in the country several years ago. How could the company be hers?

“Did Tristan set up a company for you when you married?” Isaac asked again. This is the only reason that could come to his mind now.

She almost choked to hear that.

“Of course not, Grandpa. I established a company with my college friend…”

Bella explained to Isaac how she met rich kids like Jack Foster and Harper Reed while studying for her master’s degree in the USA. Her intelligence impressed Jack and Harper, who invited her to join them in setting up a company.

They recognized her contribution to the company’s formation and granted her free shares. Although Bella is not a significant shareholder, her shares provide substantial dividends, allowing her to live comfortably. Her involvement in the company’s management also helped to bring Stefan, their powerful hacker, on board.

…

Isaac gaped at Bella’s story. He knew that Bella was no ordinary woman. Her intelligence was high; she could be considered a genius. Therefore, she was one of the students selected for the acceleration program while studying in this country, and she received a full scholarship to continue her master’s degree in America.

However, it’s hard for him to believe that going to the US would bring her into contact with rich young people. And now, she is one of the shareholders of Quantum Capital.

“Bella, congratulations, my granddaughter… congratulations… Grandpa is very proud of you.” Isaac was delighted to hear that. His granddaughter was not an ordinary woman but someone with great talent and a business owner.

“Thanks, grandfather. But please don’t tell anyone about this. So far… No one knows, only you.”

“Wait,” Isaac raised his eyebrows again, surprised by her words. “Tristan doesn’t know?”

“Hmm, I haven’t told him yet.”

“Hahaha…” Isaac suddenly burst out laughing. He was so happy he was the first to know about Bella’s big secret.

“Huh!? Why do you laugh, Grandpa?”

“I’m just happy. Good… Good… don’t tell Tristan about it. Later, if he messes around again, just slap him because you’re not an ordinary person, either. You own your company, too. Even though your company is much smaller than the Sinclair Group, he will definitely be shocked to know that…”

Bella, “…”

“Grandpa, it seems you didn’t hear my explanation carefully.” Bella smiled faintly.

“Huh!? Am I wrong?”

“Yes.”

“What?” Isaac was confused. “Which one? You said you own a company, right?”

“I mean… My company is no smaller than the Sinclair Group.”

Isaac was speechless and unable to say anything. He could only clear his throat because he was shocked that Bella’s company’s growth was more significant than the Sinclair Group.

After a moment, he said, “I thought Quantum Capital was a middle-level company…? No?”

“Quantum Capital in this country is indeed small. However, our parent company is based in New York…” Bella explained. “Has grandfather ever heard about the RDF Group?”

As the Donovan Group’s founder, Isaac knows about several well-known investment companies abroad. RDF Group is one of the companies he often hears about, one of the top ten companies in the world’s investment sector.

“Your parent company, RDF Group?” Isaac couldn’t believe his ears. If it were converted to Donovan Group, that company would be too big, like the Earth and Sky.

“Yeah, that’s the name of my parent company. It’s one of the investment companies that plays a big role in today’s world economy.” A proud smile slowly appears on her lips.

“And you are one of their founders and shareholders?”

“Yes…” Bella laughed when she saw him seem to doubt her. “Grandpa, you seem not to believe me?” she narrowed her eyes at him.

Isaac didn’t answer immediately, but the look in his eyes clearly answered Bella’s question.

“Actually, the company uses the founder’s last name.”

Instantly, Isaac’s eyes widened before he could ask, “D, does that mean Donovan?”
