My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 391

Chapter 391: Bradley’s Off-Putting Smile
Bradley Caville couldn’t hide his happiness because Bella finally noticed him. She even asked him to stay. This warmed his heart and made him plan to pursue her again to become his darling wife.

“Bella,” Bradley said, only calling her beautiful name was enough to make his heart race. He silently swallowed, trying to calm his chaotic heart.

“Why do you want me to stay here with these gentlemen…?” he continued, looking at the sharp-looking middle-aged man with gold-framed glasses sitting calmly beside Bella.

“This is Daniel Sullivan. He’s part of my legal team,” Bella said calmly while turning to see Daniel. “Daniel, you may start—”

“Yes, Ms. Donovan,” Daniel Sullivan nodded. He took a few sets of papers from his bag and placed them before Bradley Caville, which confused him.

“What is it, Bella?” Bradley asked while looking at her. When he saw Bella avoiding him, he smiled wryly as he lowered his gaze back to the paper in his hands and began reading.

It didn’t take long for Bradley to return his gaze to Bella, confusion flashing through his eyes, but she still ignored him. He looked at Daniel Sullivan.

“Mr. Sullivan, why did you give me this paper?”

Bradley was shocked to receive a letter of agreement to sell his shares in the Donovan Group Company to Bella Donovan.

“Have you finished reading the paper in its entirety, Mr. Caville?” Daniel Sullivan asked calmly.

“Yes. What is it? Why did you give me this paper?” Bradley asked again. He was still confused, but Daniel didn’t answer him at all. “Bella, can you explain it to me?”

“All the explanations are in the letter, Mr. Caville. I suggest you read it again if you still do not understand. And when you’re done, please sign it!” Daniel once again answered, which was enough to make Bradley angry.

“And why on Earth would I sign this paper?” Bradley’s voice rose, and his tone was condescending. He starts sharply on Daniel Sullivan, “You see, Mr. Sullivan, I don’t plan to sell my shares,” he said, pushing the paper toward Daniel.

He would not let go of the Donovan Group, especially knowing Bella was now a major shareholder. This was his opportunity to be close to Bella with his ten percent share in her family’s company.

“This is not a negotiation but an instruction for you to sell your shares to my client, Ms. Donovan,” Daniel Sullivan explained calmly, ignoring Bradley’s displeased look. “Don’t worry, sir. We won’t buy at a low price even though we could. But we also won’t buy your share at a premium price. We will pay for your shares at the company’s market price before it drops.”

Bradley’s hands clenched into fists. Hearing Daniel Sullivan’s words, he felt offended.

How could this man force him to sell his shares at the price before it drops?

Bradley narrowed his eyes, ready to vent his anger, but when he saw Bella, he pressed his anger back into his heart. He didn’t want to look bad in front of her.

‘How can this man want to buy my shares at that price when Donovan Group’s share price is currently at its lowest point, or in other words, worthless? Did he think I’m stupid? They must have a good plan to increase the price soon, and they won’t exclude me from being part of it,’ Bradley couldn’t help but vent his frustration inwardly.

He was annoyed, but he tried to maintain a calm expression.

After a few more seconds, Bradley turned to Bella. He asked, “Bella, I don’t know your intention to force me to sell my shares to you. Can you please explain why you suddenly wanted to buy my shares?” he asked gently, hoping Bella would speak to him.

But Bradley’s hopes were dashed instantly when Daniel Sullivan answered, “Mr. Caville, because you didn’t deserve those shares, and your intention to buy those shares was an ill intention and illegal!”

The thin lines on Bradley’s forehead became more visible when he realized that Bella didn’t want to talk to him. He felt offended for the first time since seeing her in this room.

After a deep sigh, frustrated with Bella’s silent treatment, Bradley turned his gaze back to Daniel Sullivan.

“Ill intention and illegal? What do you mean by that? Is it about my marriage proposal to Ms. Bella? What is wrong with me, a single man who wants to marry her? And she is also a single woman…” Bradley said, waiting for Daniel to respond. However, Daniel didn’t seem inclined to answer.

Angrily, Bradley continued, “And, you know what, Mr. Sullivan? Her father and uncle said that if I buy this company’s shares, they will arrange for me to marry her. So what’s wrong with that!?”

“Because my client is someone else’s lawful wife. Mr. Bradley. How could you have the audacity to intend to marry Ms. Bella when she’s another man’s lawful wife? That’s an illegal act,” Daniel Sullivan casually replied.

However, Daniel’s words almost caused Bradley to vomit blood. He was too shocked to hear Bella was already married.

How could that be? Why did Lucas Donovan not know about it and want him to marry his daughter?

It’s hard for Bradley to believe what he hears. Or did his mind refuse to believe? He no longer understands.

After a few more seconds lost in his trance, Bradley Caville suddenly laughed out loud.

“Bwahaha…” Bradley’s booming laugh echoed in the room, enough to cause Bella to finally lift her head from her cell phone and look at him.

“Mr. Sullivan, are you kidding right!?” Bradley didn’t believe it. Daniel Sullivan must have wanted to trick him into signing the paper to sell his shares.

He looked at Bella with a gentle but off-putting smile. “Bella, I can understand if you don’t like me. But please give me a chance to prove that I really want to marry you and that I’m worthy to be your husband.” After deep breathing, he continued, “Bella Donovan, please become my wife…”

Bradley’s off-putting smile widened when he saw Bella, who didn’t say anything, just staring at him.
