My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 276

Chapter 276: Talk With Aunt Emma (2)
Bella couldn’t hold back tears when she saw her Aunt, who was always strong, sobbing like a child.

However, she couldn’t find the words to say to her, as if all the sentences she strung together in her mind were stuck there.

She opened her mouth a few times to speak, but her words could not leave her lips.

Feeling helpless, Bella turned her teary eyes to her Grandfather. She was slightly surprised to see him also staring back at her with mixed emotions, causing Bella to frown.

Before Bella could ask him anything, Isaac Donovan cleared his throat and said, “Bella, I’m sorry I let your aunt come here.” His voice quivered. “Your aunt is facing some difficulties in East City, so I asked her to visit me here to calm herself.”

Isaac Donovan worried that Bella would blame him because he could not keep his word to keep a secret from their other family members. Despite his agreement with Bella to hide this, he also wanted to share this happy moment, especially with his own daughter, Emma.

He continued, “I’m really sorry to make you cry, my dear granddaughter. You can scold Grandpa, but please don’t vent your anger on your Aunt.”

Bella silently sighed, looking at her Grandpa, who seemed to blame himself.

“Grandpa, I’m not mad at you…and how could I—” Bella began, but before she could finish, Emma chimed in.

“Oh…Bella, please don’t be mad at your Grandpa,” Emma worried about coming to Bella’s house without permission. She was too excited to know her niece had a son, so she forced her father to bring her here.

Bella, “…”

‘Aunty, can you let me finish my words?’ Bella silently chuckled inwardly, amused at her Aunt, panicked in the middle of her tears.

“Be-Bella…” Emma continued while wiping the tears from her cheeks. “I actually guessed about you and Tristan after what happened in East City,” she explained in her hoarse voice.

Hearing her Aunt’s words surprised Bella. How could Aunt Emma have guessed it so right!? She wiped away the remaining traces of tears that rolled down her cheeks, trying to adjust her emotions and speak with her Aunt.

But once more, she paused when her Grandpa said, “Granddaughter, your Aunt found out by herself. But I’m the one who told her about you and Dax.”

“Grandfather, I understand,” a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips before Bella turned her head again to look at her Aunt Emma.

Something caught Bella’s attention, and she needed to clarify things with her Aunt. “Aunty, you have sharp senses. How did you guess it?”

Emma, who had stopped crying, moved beside Bella and held her hand. With a happy and enthusiastic gaze, she explained what was happening at the Donovan Group, the news on the internet, and the buzz shaking the company.

Later, after she told Bella all of that, her laughter suddenly echoed in the room.

“Ha Ha Ha… Oh, Bella… Please don’t blame me for feeling so happy looking at your uncles’ and father’s suffering with what happens in the company. I think this is their karma for blaming you for the company’s bankruptcy…”

She continued to tell Bella more about how panicked her brothers were now in East City. And how the shareholders started to complain to them.

However, Bella no longer hears her Aunty’s words. She was confused to realize something. She raised her eyebrow slightly and glanced at her Grandfather as if asking, “Haven’t you explained that I caused trouble in the company?”

Isaac Donovan only smiled while shrugging his shoulders when he saw Bella’s questioning gaze.

“But, Bella, what made me suspicious was when that old man Bradley Caville had the same problem with our company. I became suspicious that someone was attacking him. And only one person could do that, Tristan Sinclair,” Emma stopped momentarily to catch her breath. “And because I was suspicious, I immediately contacted your grandfather to confirm my suspicions.”

Bella was surprised to hear that. Is Sinclair attacking the Dawson Group today? She wanted to ask but held back to let her Aunt finish her words.

Emma smiled and said, “We guess Sinclair has asked all suppliers not to sell their goods to the Dawson Group. When I flew here this noon, I read the news: several Dawson shops are starting to experience a shortage of goods. Maybe their stock will run out in a few days, and all their shops across this country will shut down.”

“Wait, Aunty…” Bella said, stopping her Aunt. She could no longer hold herself back from confirming her guess about Tristan’s move to teach the Dawson Group a lesson. “So, you said Dawson is starting to experience a shortage of supplies from suppliers starting today?”

Bella hadn’t heard about Tristan’s actions. Since this morning, she has been too busy thinking about the Donovan Group and doesn’t care about others. She didn’t know that Tristan had attacked Dawson simultaneously as she attacked Donovan Group.

“Yes, I heard from your first uncle, Jacob,” Emma smiled happily before continuing, “He called Bradley this afternoon for help, and the old man said something like that. Ugh, that old geezer might close his company within a few days. And, you know what?”

“What is it, Aunty?”

“Well, the latest news I heard is that Bradley called Jacob. He wants his investment money returned; he doesn’t want to continue their cooperation with our company…” Emma chuckled when she saw Bella roll her eyes.

“What a stupid and greedy man he is! We’re lucky we could break off from him,” Isaac, who had been silent, finally spoke. “And he thinks it’s easy to withdraw investment money? Idiot. By the way, Emma, ​​did you know anything about the agreement letter?”

“No. I don’t know, Dad. But I can ask our legal team to look for it and send us a copy once they find it. If they can find it and you still want to see it…” Emma answered vaguely.

“No need, Aunty. I have their letter of agreement.” Bella firmly but casually said, shocking both Emma and Isaac. They both looked at Bella in surprise.

“You’ve seen it? How did you get it?”

“Yes, yes! How can you get the paper, Bella? I’m the company CFO, and I have never even seen the agreement letter.”
