My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 273

Chapter 273: They Will End Up In Prison!
After a few seconds passed, Bella glanced at Stefan again. She tried to express what worried her now.

“Stefan, you said earlier that you released news about bribery and the police being involved, right?”

“Yes.”

“Is it serious?”

“Of course. What’s more, now is the political year; this country is about to hold a general election to elect a president. Officials who commit corruption are heavily attacked by their political opponents, so everyone involved will not escape. They will end up in prison.”

Bella’s hands felt cold, imagining her father, who was involved.

“Who is responsible for that case?” she asked.

Stefan didn’t understand Bella’s question. “What do you mean, Sis?”

Even though she hated her father, she was concerned about him going to prison. Her tone couldn’t hide her worry when she asked, “From the Donovan Group, who is involved with the bribe scandal?”

Bella wasn’t worried because she felt sorry for her father. However, Stefan is concerned that if the public finds out that Lucas Donovan is her father, the public perception toward Tristan might be hurt, especially if the public knows about their relationship as a married couple.

Sigh!

Stefan, silent for a moment, didn’t answer Bella right away. He looked toward the scenery outside as he tried to recall the data he had retrieved from the Donovans’ cell phones and laptop databases.

After a few more seconds, he looked at Bella.

“Thomas Donovan, your younger uncle… He is in charge of the project. And besides him, your first uncle may be affected too because he is the company’s CEO.”

“How about my father and Aunt Emma?”

“From the data I obtained, I can confirm they are not in any part of the wicked plan…”

Instantly, Bella felt like the heavy burden that had been pressing on her chest was released. She could breathe easily, knowing her father and Aunt Emma were not involved.

“Thank you, Stefan,” Bella smiled at him. “Alright, I have to go home now. My hubby is waiting downstairs. You can go back upstairs and continue your work…”

“Ok, Sis…” Stefan finished his coffee and stood up. However, before he left the room, he stopped in his tracks and turned to see Bella, who was reading her phone near her table.

When he saw her smile, he hesitated to ruin her happy moment with the other news.

But before he continued to walk, his heart told him to stop. This kind of news couldn’t be hidden. After a deep sigh, he said, “Sister, there is something you need to know…”

“What is it?” Bella turned to Stefan, who was leaning against the door frame.

“It’s about your father,” Stefan paused momentarily as if something was stopping him from continuing because what he was about to say might crush her heart.

Bella could see that Stefan seemed to be having trouble speaking, which made her worry. “Say it, Stefan!”

Stefan ran his fingers through his hair and turned away, avoiding her curious gaze.

“Ugh, Boss… I’ll send you everything I’ve found out when I investigated your father,” he said and left.

Bella, “…”

Stefan’s unclear sentences made her even more curious and confused. Shaking her head, she continued to tidy up her desk. However, she couldn’t stop being suspicious about Stefan’s odd behavior.

‘Darn it! That kid… How dare he make me this curious?’ she muttered while reading a short message from Tristan, informing her he had already arrived.

Rushing to the elevator, Bella saw Leo exit from a small meeting room in the corner. He looked like he had just finished a meeting with his team.

“Going home now, Boss?” Leo smiled as he walked beside her to the elevator.

“Yes! My husband is waiting downstairs…” She glanced at him while pressing the elevator button.

“He is always on time, huh!”

Bella could only chuckle when she heard that, but a second later, something crossed her mind.

“Where’s Dana? I haven’t seen her…” She asked, realizing Leo’s favorite secretary hadn’t been around for the past few days.

“She is taking time off and will return tomorrow.” Leo casually answered, but somehow, his heart swelled thinking about her.

They exchanged a few words before Bella entered the elevator. The moment the door closed, an email came in.

It was from Stefan.

Curious, she immediately opened the email, and what she found shocked her.

Her hands trembled as she pushed the play button and saw a woman and man entangled in bed, naked. The sounds of the two making love instantly made the air in the elevator turn cold.

Too shocked, she couldn’t help but curse Stefan, “What the fuck, Stefan!! Why did he send a porn video—” Bella’s voice instantly trailed off when she recognized the man.

Without noticing, her cell phone slipped from her hand. “OH MY GOD!!” She screamed while covering her mouth with her palm, afraid someone could hear her.

Later,

She lowered her gaze, seeing the nasty video still playing, showing a man now riding a young woman in a room that resembled a hotel room.

Bella was shocked not because of the video content but because the man in the video was her father, and the woman was too young to be her sister, definitely not her mother.

While holding onto the elevator wall, she bent down to pick up her cell phone from the floor. She immediately turned off the video.

She felt disgusted seeing the video, making her feel nauseous and almost throw up. She tried to control her heavy breathing while leaning against the elevator wall. Her legs felt too weak to support her.

Ding!

When the elevator opened, Bella couldn’t bring herself to step out.

“Ms. Donovan, are you alright?” Bryan panicked when he saw Bella struggling to walk. Her face looked colorless like she had just experienced an intense shock.

Bryan walked inside and stood before her with his back facing her.

“Apologies, ma’am. If you don’t mind, you can hold onto my shoulder,” he offered help. When he didn’t hear her respond, he glanced over his shoulder and continued, “Do you want me to call Mr. Sinclair?”

Bella flinched upon hearing her husband’s name.
