My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 340

Chapter 340: Bella’s Decision
Bella arrived at her office.

Just before she turned on her laptop, there was a knock at the door.

“Please come in,” she said, her brow slightly raised when she saw Stefan walk in with a tense expression.

“Sister, you won’t believe what happened to your father,” he said, taking out his cell phone to show her the CCTV footage he had just obtained.

“What happened to my father?”

“The police arrested your father and your brother. They are now being taken custody at the police station—” Stefan looked confused as he held out his cell phone to show Bella the video recording of her father and her brother being led into a police car.

Bella didn’t say anything as she accepted Stefan’s cell phone. She watched the video footage calmly, witnessing how her father and Henry led to the police car.

A few seconds later, Stefan noticed a thin line slowly appearing on her forehead as if she were deep in thought.

He continued to explain, “Sis, this is so strange. I haven’t sent anything to building security, let alone the police, so why has your father been arrested? Who reported it to the authorities? I know you didn’t report to the police. Who else could be?”

Stefan scratched his head, utterly confused by the situation. Before sending all the evidence about the stalkers he found to the building guard, he tried to check the CCTV footage.

And,

What he found shocked him. The police had already arrested several people at the location. Still, he was even more shocked when he discovered that Lucas and Henry Donovan had also been arrested.

Bella smiled at him while returning his cell phone. She said, “Thank you, Stefan. You did a great job helping me…”

“Sis, but I did nothing. I didn’t call the police to arrest them…” he replied, confused.

“Yeah, I know. Actually, my husband reported it to the police,” she explained.

Stefan was surprised to hear that. His eyes widened as he said, “Wow! Your husband is so fast. Now, I believe he has a strong hacker behind him. Do you know him?”

He was impressed by the person who worked alongside Tristan Sinclair.

Knowing that a powerful hacker had worked in this city, he was curious to meet that person. He thought that person might be his friend in the hacker community. But who?

Bella felt a wave of anxiety as she noticed the curiosity in Stefan’s eyes. She knew who Tristan’s hacker was but couldn’t bear to expose Max. Despite her trust in Stefan, she couldn’t betray her husband.

She shook her head before confessing, “Well, I don’t know. You can find out yourself if you want to know—” This was the best answer she could find to respond to him.

“I will… I will…” Once more, curiosity flashed through his eyes as he excused himself to go upstairs to find the hacker’s identity.

After Stefan left her office, Bella took out her cell phone and called her husband.

“Hi, wifey… You finally called me. I’ve been waiting for your call.” Tristan’s cheerful tone surprised Bella. “I was about to call you. I thought you forgot about me—”

Bella settled into her seat before responding, “I’m sorry, hubby. I just spoke to my IT guy, and he told me about my father and Henry…”

“Oh, right; I also want to discuss them with you.” Tristan’s voice turned serious.

“Why did the police take them to the station? I thought you only wanted to distract them and help me get out of the building,” Bella asked, confused. She didn’t expect there to be drugs in her father’s car, leading to their arrest.

“Oo, I apologize, dear…” Tristan felt sorry because he hadn’t told her about his plan the previous night.

Bella’s frown deepened as she heard him apologize, but she said nothing, waiting for him to finish his explanation.

“Sorry, because I didn’t discuss my plan with you. In fact, I had someone place something in your father’s car. When the police searched it, they found that item. Even if your father and brother deny knowing about it, the police still need to question them.”

“I see—” Bella was speechless, amazed by his plan to put drugs in her father’s car. How does he know about the car his father would use?

Before Bella could ask, Tristan spoke again.

“Do you want them to stay in prison or not?” Tristan asked. “I can have my people release them immediately or let them stay there for a few more weeks. You decide…” he suggested.

Bella didn’t respond immediately. She felt like she was at a crossroads, unsure of which path to choose. She wanted to throw her father and Henry in jail, but she also didn’t want to.

After thinking for a few more seconds, she found her reason.

She finally decided. “Hubby, please let them out of there—”

Tristan was slightly surprised to hear that.

“Are you serious?” He thought she would gladly imprison her father and brother to teach them a good lesson and take her revenge.

Bella rested her back against the chair, looking at the white ceiling above. She could feel Tristan’s concern in his tone.

“Yes, I’m sure. I need my father and brother to witness how I take over the company. It won’t be fun if they don’t attend the shareholder meeting, right?”

Tristan chuckled, understanding her plan.

“Besides, I also feel slightly nervous with them in this city. What if they find out about us and use your name to escape? I can’t imagine that happening—” This was one of her biggest concerns now: tarnishing Tristan’s reputation.

“Hahaha,” Tristan’s soft laugh rang in her ears, making her heart flutter. “My darling, you don’t have to worry about me. If your father tries anything, I’ll take care of it,” he said, his heart feeling swell at her thought to protect his name. How sweet she was.

She remained silent, but a bitter smile crossed her face as she pondered the possibility of her shameless father resorting to underhanded tactics to achieve his goals.
