My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 274

Chapter 274: Shocking Video
Bella flinched upon hearing her husband’s name.

She immediately shook her head.

“No! Thank you, Bryan. I can walk by myself…” She took a deep sigh before starting to walk.

When Bella arrived at the car, she could see Tristan’s worried expression.

She tried to avoid his curious gaze as she greeted the driver and Dylan, who sat in front before staring back at Tristan again.

“Sorry to keep you waiting…” Bella said, flashing him a loving smile, but his expression remained unchanged; he looked worried. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Not hearing an answer from him, Bella looked away out the window. She tried to calm the shock that still bothered her after watching her father’s indecent video. But a few seconds later, Tristan’s voice made her look back at him.

“Did something happen there?” Tristan finally asked as he raised his hand to stroke her pale cheek. He could clearly see her expression, which looked different from usual. There was no joy there.

“Nothing happened. Why did you—” Bella trailed off, shocked, seeing Tristan’s head getting closer to her. She thought he wanted to kiss her but stopped just inches from her face. She blinked, waiting for him to do anything.

“My pretty wife, I can clearly see you look like you’ve just seen a ghost…” Tristan smiled while rubbing her nose. “Tell me, what happened?”

Bella let out a deep sigh. Instead of rushing to answer him, she pressed the button to raise the divider. She couldn’t discuss her father’s matter when Dylan and the driver could hear them.

After the divider entirely covered them, she turned to Tristan. “Are you sure you want to know?”

Tristan was even more confused hearing her question, yet he nodded. “Yes. Of course…”

She took her cell phone out of her bag and turned off the volume before handing it to Tristan.

“You can see for yourself…” Bella said, turning her gaze outside the car. She felt embarrassed as Tristan watched her father’s sex video with a young woman.

Bella still couldn’t fathom how her father could do such a humiliating thing. Since leaving the elevator, her mind hadn’t stopped racing to think about it.

Countless questions tormented her, seeking an answer.

Why did father do this?

Why did her father betray her mother, who loved him so much and was even willing to put up with his violent temper?

Does Mother know about this scandal!?

If Mother knew, why would she still stay with him?

How many women does Father have out there?

These questions kept swirling in her mind, making her head hurt. She also began to feel a burning anger in her heart. She was very angry with her father’s shamelessness.

Another deep sigh escaped her lips as she tried to calm herself.

However, not long after, she hears Tristan calling her.

“My dear wife, Bella…” Tristan’s voice was soft and close.

She saw his deep ocean-blue eyes staring back at her, which made her anger toward her father slowly fade.

A faint smile appeared on Bella’s lips before she asked, “Have you seen it?”

Tristan awkwardly nodded. After watching the video, he didn’t know what to say or how to react. He was just as shocked as Bella to see his father-in-law having sex with a young woman.

“You recognized the man, right?” Bella asked.

Of course, he knew. In just a few seconds, he immediately recognized Lucas Donovan, his father-in-law whom he had only met twice since marrying Bella.

“Hmm, I know,” Tristan answered calmly as he cupped her hand over her thigh. The feeling that his wife’s hands were icy made him worry.

Sigh deeply, he said, “My Dear, I don’t know what to say about the video. But if you need my help, please just tell me. I will help you…”

Bella couldn’t help but smile at Tristan.

Like him, she didn’t know what to do about her father.

Only one thing was clear: she must call her mother. For the last few days, she had consistently failed to do so because she didn’t know what to talk about, but now, there was a strong reason for her to reach out.

“It’s fine, Hubby. As for my father, I don’t have any plans to do anything right now…” Bella finally responded to Tristan’s words.

“Okay…” said Tristan before asking about her steps in bringing down the Donovan Group. He had read the news circulating out there and could see the direction of her plan, but he needed to hear it from her. Also, it would divert her worries about her father’s case.

Instantly, Bella’s eyes lit up when she talked about those matters. She didn’t hide anything from Tristan; she explained the situation at the company and how the police might investigate her two uncles.

“I was worried that my father was involved in the bribery case. But my own investigation clears him from any involvement…” Bella ended her explanation with a wry smile.

Tristan’s eyebrow slightly raised when he heard that, “Huh!? Why don’t you want your father involved? I thought you hated him so much?”

“I do hate him. But I’m not worried because I feel sorry for him… I’m worried that news about him will affect you, especially if our relationship becomes public knowledge,” Bella explained.

That’s the only thing that worries her. Her family problems will impact Tristan’s company, Sinclair Group, and their shares will plummet, just like the Donovan Group.

“Hahaha…” Tristan’s laughter echoed in the car, causing Bella to frown at the sight. “Oh dear, don’t worry about that. Even if the news comes out later, it won’t make my company suffer like the Donovan Group,” he said while ruffling her hair lovingly.

“Really? Are you sure your company will be fine?”

“Hmm, only part of our company has gone public. Our main company will never go public. So, don’t worry. This kind of thing will not bother me.”

“I see…” Bella finally felt relieved.

They continued chatting seriously, and not long after, their car stopped in front of their residence.

Bella feels worried because she didn’t see Dax, who usually waited for them in front of the house but was not there today.

She rushed to enter the house, but her steps stopped when she saw a familiar face in the living room talking with her son and Grandpa.

“A-Aunty Emma?”
