My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 454

Chapter 454: Confront Stefan
“Boss, what happened?” Sam asked worriedly.

Bella threw her cell phone in her bag before responding to him.

Later, she turned to face him.

“Sam, do you have a spare key for this room? I’m starting to worry that Stefan might have died there.” Bella sighed deeply while looking at the door again. “That’s why he hasn’t responded to the noise I’m making or answered my phone calls. This really worries me…”

“Die!?” Sam almost laughed at her words. He cleared his throat slightly before continuing, “I’m sorry, Boss. I don’t have a spare key for this room, but maybe Leo does. However, he’s in Nova City right now.”

Bella was not happy with Sam’s answer. She looked at the sturdy door before her again.

“Sam, can you break this door?” Bella asked. “You might have to break the keyhole or kick the door harder… force it to open.”

Her request took him aback. “I can try if you insist, Boss,” Sam said.

“Hmm, do it!” Bella answered firmly. She couldn’t let Stefan stay trapped inside; the only option was to break the door to find out what had happened inside.

“Wait here…I need a tool to open that door,” Sam said before walking to his room. Later, he reappeared.

“What the hell is that for? Bella was speechless to see Sam carrying a pistol. She thought he’d gone to find a hammer or tools to open the door, but instead, he brought a gun. Gosh!

“No worries, Boss. I have a license for this pistol. Why are you shocked, Boss? With this big pistol’s bullet, any door would be opened easily.” Sam smiled while positioning himself before the door.

Before he shot, he looked at Bella again. He smiled, noticing how worried she seemed. “Don’t worry, I’ll use a silencer. No one will even notice when I shoot the door’s lock.”

“Go ahead, but make sure you shoot it to open the door and not Stefan,” Bella warned him, afraid Sam might accidentally injure Stefan.

Sam couldn’t help but laugh. “Hahaha, did you forget I’m an excellent marksman in the special forces?”

“Ah, you’re right,” Bella said, stepping back a few meters from Sam.

However, the door swung open before Sam could shoot, with Stefan standing there looking horrified.

“What, what the hell, Samuel Brown? Why did you want to murder me?” Stefan stammered in shock. He raised his hands as if to shield himself from bullets. “Are you drunk? Or have you gone crazy?”

Stefan was utterly shocked to see Sam standing there, pointing a gun at him, with a scary look in his eyes.

Holding back his laughter, Sam looked at Stefan’s pale and frightened expression. He calmly locked his pistol, ignored Stefan, and turned to face Bella.

“Boss, your brother is alive,” Sam said faintly. “Alright, Boss, I’ll go now. You can punish him,” he added sarcastically.

Sam turned back to Stefan, noticing his shocked expression as he looked at Bella.

“Stefan, you made Boss Bella worry. How dare you ignore her calls? Even Jack Foster never ignores her,” Sam scolded as he tapped Stefan’s shoulder before leaving.

Stefan’s jaw dropped upon hearing Sam’s words. It was only then that he realized Bella was there. His eyes widened in shock as he no longer heard Sam’s sentence. He felt too nervous seeing Bella looking at him with an unusual expression.

“S-Sis… Sister, when did you get here? Why didn’t you call me?” Stefan stammered as he scratched his head, even though it wasn’t itchy.

Bella shook her head slowly. Despite feeling the urge to smack his head, she held back when she saw his tired and innocent expression.

“We need to talk, Stefan. Follow me!” Bella said as she walked toward the sitting area in the living room.

Stefan nodded as he followed her but didn’t join her immediately. Instead, he continued walking to the kitchen. “Sis, would you like a cold drink?” he asked, opening the refrigerator. “Or maybe a cold beer? Soda?”

Bella sighed. She wanted beer or soda, but remembering her pregnancy, she dismissed the idea. “Cold water, please.”

“Why did you ignore my calls?” Bella asked when she saw him finally sit opposite her, sipping his cold beer.

“Oh, you called? I didn’t hear anything,” he grinned.

Bella sighed deeply and asked, “Are you alright? You look like you haven’t slept in days.” She noticed his pale face and messy hair.

“Sis, I’ve been busy locating someone,” Stefan said, raising his eyebrows. “Didn’t you know what I’ve been up to?”

“How could I know? You never tell me anything,” Bella replied, utterly confused. “Is there something I need to know?”

“Huh!? Looks like your husband didn’t tell you,” Stefan’s voice trailed off as he realized the possibility of Tristan hiding this from Bella. Now, he vented his frustration inwardly, forgetting to ask Tristan about it.

Bella became increasingly aware of Stefan’s suspicious behavior.

“Speak now, or you’ll see me angry,” she said casually, but Stefan knew she was furious.

“Don’t be mad, Sis. I’ll tell you now. Ugh, I’m busy looking for someone—this person is trying to find information about you.” He explained worriedly.

“Someone’s trying to dig up my real identity?”

“Yeah.”

“Why are you worried? Haven’t you put out false information?”

“Well, this person knows the information out there is fake. They also know where to find your real identity. Max, your husband’s hacker, was the first to find out about this hacker. But at the time, Max couldn’t locate the person; they hid too well,” Stefan explained.

Bella was shocked to hear that.

Stefan continued, “If I had to guess, that person has abilities equal to or even stronger than Max.”

Bella was taken aback. She knew how skillful Max was, but the thought that this person who tried to find her identity might be more cunning than Max worried her.

“Is that person really that cunning, Stefan?” she asked.

“Yes, that’s why your husband is worried that the person digging into your information might be someone who wants to harm you, especially since they have a powerful hacker working with them.”

Bella felt her heart sink as she began to understand what had happened. Her mind started to race, trying to guess who that person could be.
