My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 384

Chapter 384: Revealing Her Plan
“Bella, my daughter,” Natalie’s voice trembled. After briefly pausing, she continued, “I’m sorry to have you carry all our family matters on your shoulders. You work hard to settle your father and uncle’s mess.”

Bella was stunned to see her mother’s tears rolling down her cheeks.

“My daughter, don’t tire yourself with their mess. Don’t carry this burden by yourself. If you need my help, please tell me. I promise you I will try to help. Even my help might be useless, but I will do anything for you…”

Natalie’s words shocked Isaac Donovan. Instantly, feelings of guilt filled his heart. He was not as sensitive as Natalie, who could understand Bella’s feelings.

How could he allow her to take care of his family’s mess alone and without his help?

Isaac clenched his hands into tight fists, remembering the terrible things his sons had done to Bella and her mother.

He felt useless because he was not strong enough to stop them, and his sons continued to try to hurt Bella and her mother.

His shoulders slowly slumped, his hands clenched tightly into fists, feeling even more guilty for scolding her earlier.

“Bella, I need to ask for your forgiveness,” Isaac’s voice was similar to Natalie’s, shaking as if holding back the mixed emotions raging in his heart. “Because of my useless sons, you and your mother have to suffer so much—”

As soon as Bella heard the direction of her grandfather and mother’s conversation, she was at a loss for words. The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned gloomy.

“Grandpa, Mother, please, let’s not talk about it now,” Bella interrupted them from talking about the sad things. She didn’t want to cry now, especially since Liam was with them.

Natalie and Isaac said nothing, but their gaze still carried the same feelings: sadness and blaming themselves for Bella’s troubles and sorrow.

“Why do you both even say things like that? I’m fine. Really, I’m fine. This matter will be over soon. This time, I won’t show them any mercy!”

She smiles, but a fierce determination to crush someone flashes through her eyes, surprising Isaac and Natalie.

For a few seconds, the room became silent.

All eyes were on Bella, waiting for her to share more details about her plan.

“So, Mom and Grandpa, no need to worry about my father and uncles in the East City. Tomorrow, I’m going to fly there—”

“You what?” Natalie was shocked. She grabbed Bella’s hands, causing her to stop speaking. “Bella, please don’t go there. They will harm you. Your father…” Her voice trembled, and she was scared to imagine Bella meeting her father.

Bella felt a mix of amusement and happiness when she saw her mother looking so worried about her. She was happy because it showed how much her mother cared for her, and she was amused when she saw her mother panicking, knowing she would meet her father.

“Mom, it’s fine. My father won’t harm me. I mean, even if he wanted to, he wouldn’t have a chance to do that, trust me. Besides, did you forget who my husband is?” Bella said.

Natalie’s grip slowly loosened as she remembered Tristan. Indeed, no one could harm her daughter if they knew she was Tristan Sinclair’s wife. Slowly, her worry faded, and she smiled back at Bella.

“Mom, you know why I need to meet him sooner, right? I need to give him your divorce papers,” Bella said with a smile as she noticed her mother’s eyes widening. “My father needs a wake-up call to stop looking for you…”

Natalie was even more shocked to hear this. She had already thought so many times about how to file divorce papers for Lucas Donovan, but she didn’t know where to start. She was also worried about asking Bella because she has been so busy lately.

Bella smiled when she saw her mother looking confused and worried.

“Mom, don’t worry. I’ve already prepared everything: the lawyer and the paperwork. You only need to sign it; you don’t need to meet my father!”

Natalie felt her hand turn cold at the thought. She didn’t believe that Lucas would quickly agree to sign the papers. She was afraid that he might refuse to let her go. She knows him so well.

Leaning closer to her daughter, Natalie whispered, “Bella, I am worried about your father. I don’t think he’ll readily agree to divorce me. I know how his mind works.” Her voice sounded shaky.

Bella suppressed a smile upon hearing her mother’s concern. She squeezed her mother’s hand before replying in a hushed tone.

“Don’t worry, Mom. Trust me, I have a plan. I plan to make Dad sign the divorce papers right away! If he chooses a legal battle, he’ll definitely lose and end up in jail, trust me.”

Natalie was stunned. She pulled her head away from her daughter to see her expression. When she realized how serious Bella was, her heart swelled with warmth.

“Thank you…” Natalie said silently.

Bella could read her lips. She responded to her mother with a faint smile.

…

Even though Bella and Natalie spoke hushedly, Isaac Donovan could faintly hear what they discussed. He was also concerned about his granddaughter’s confrontation with Lucas.

“Bella, are you sure you can handle your father?” Isaac asks, wanting to ensure Bella won’t get hurt.

She turned towards her Grandfather and nodded, “Yes, Grandfather. I have my own way to get him to sign the divorce papers.”

Isaac didn’t ask further about it. He only reminded her, “Make sure you bring someone with you when dealing with your father. He is temperamental.”

“I know,” Bella replied. She wasn’t afraid of her father; she could subdue him with a single move with any difficulties.

For safety, Bryan and Sam will be with her; at least, that’s what Tristan asked for. He allowed her to fly to the East as long as Sam and Bryan protected her, and she gladly agreed.

They continued talking.

This time, Bella told her Grandpa about her plan to hold the Shareholder Meeting with the agenda of removing Jacob Donovan as CEO and her father from the COO position and replacing them with her most trusted people.
