My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 459

Chapter 460: Better Version Of Myself
Bella stared at Henry for a few seconds before telling him about her company. She didn’t go into detail about RDF Group; she just mentioned Quantum Capital, which she now leads as the CEO.

This information shocked Henry. He was familiar with Quantum Capital due to the recent news about their branch, Stellar Entertainment, which had spread like wildfire on the internet.

“That’s why I can’t be the CEO of the Donovan Group. I don’t have the energy or time to take care of another company,” she said, smiling as she observed his astonished expression.

“The reason I acquired Donovan Group is because I can’t bear to see the company that Grandpa built with every drop of his blood and sweat destroyed under the control of our first uncle.”

Henry couldn’t disagree with his sister; she was right. The Donovan Group, under the leadership of their first uncle, was like a sinking ship.

“But sis, Donovan Group has potential. If you don’t want to take over, who will become their CEO? Aunty can’t work there for too long, right?”

Bella chuckled. “That’s why I need you to become a good person, a leader, and a tough and trustworthy businessman. I will appoint you to lead the Donovan Group if you can change and become like that. But…”

She paused to smile at him, “If you can’t change for the better, it doesn’t matter either. I could appoint a professional to run the company.”

“Si-Sister…”

Henry sobbed, holding back his tears. He was too touched to hear his little sister’s words.

After all he had done to her in the past, his sister still gave him a second chance.

He was starting to doubt. Was his sister really human? Why did she have such a kind heart? Only a goddess would have such a kind heart.

“Little sister Bella, are you a goddess disguised as a human?” He wanted to ask that but stopped himself.

This time, Henry couldn’t hold back his tears. Despite their past, his sister could still forgive him, give him another chance, and hope for his future.

“Thank you, little sister. I will try harder to become a better version of myself. I will not disappoint you. Mom and Grandpa, too. I promise!”

“Excellent! I’m looking forward to it…”

Bella didn’t stay for long to talk with Henry. She left and took Dax back to the main house.

As the night approached, it was time for Tristan to return home.

The day passed so fast, and another day came.

***

The next morning.

After Tristan left the house for his office, Bella, as usual, spent her time in her home office, having online meetings with Jack or Harper from New York or meeting with Leo or Sam, who had visited her at home.

Today, they both came to report on company matters. Bella listened to Leo’s report about Celebes Energy in Nova City.

Thanks to Sentinel Network’s help, the issue there has begun to be resolved. All the officials involved were exposed severely, and their cases were made public through the media.

They allowed the media and A-Netz to carry out their role in holding the corrupt officials accountable. They only provided some evidence to expedite the process.

Since Leo and Sam could handle the matter in Nova City, Bella didn’t plan to visit that city soon.

It had been two hours since they had discussed office matters and the ongoing project plan.

“Boss, sign these files,” Leo offered, extending a stack of documents to Bella.

After signing several important letters handed over by Leo, Bella felt hungry and sleepy.

Leo noticed her fatigue and felt sorry for her. “Boss, we are done here. You can take a rest.”

“It’s okay. I’m fine,” Bella smiled while drinking orange juice to stay awake.

Despite feeling tired, Bella tried to hold it in because she was glad they had come; she wanted to catch up on any office gossip.

“Boss, you are not. I can see you are tired and need a nap. Well, a nap is better for you and your baby’s health. We won’t take any more of your time. Shall we, Sam?” Leo said while looking at Sam.

Leo prepared to leave but halted when he saw Sam staring at Bella in shock.

Bella was stunned when she heard Leo’s words. She turned to Sam with a frown as if wanting to ask, “Did you tell him?” with her gaze.

“B-Boss…” Sam swallowed. “I swear I’m not telling him anything about your uhm. But Leo must’ve guessed it himself. I didn’t tell him word for word or directly,” he said while cursing Leo in his heart.

Leo inwardly cursed when he realized he had made a substantial slip-of-tongue mistake; the news about Bella’s pregnancy was supposed to be a secret, and he supposedly didn’t know about it yet. Now, he could only flash an awkward and innocent smile at Sam and Bella in return.

Sam took a deep sigh, frustrated with Leo’s foolishness. He has warned him not to say anything about Bella’s pregnancy to anyone, especially Bella, or in front of her. But this man’s blabber mouth was utterly unreliable. How shameless!

Sam hoped that Leo would stop speaking and leave the room, but his hope was dashed when Leo exposed him to protect his innocence.

Awkwardly, Leo laughed before saying, “Boss, this is good news, right? I don’t think we should hide it. So, can we not hide it, please?”

Bella remained silent.

Leo’s lips formed a small smile before he continued, “And, Uhm, what Sam said is true. He didn’t tell me about it. It’s me. I saw some striking changes in you, and when I asked him, he immediately did not deny my suspicions…”

Bella shook her head faintly, then sent a sharp glare at Sam.

‘What the heck, Leo Smith!’ Sam could only curse Leo in his mind. He ignored them and took out his cell phone, pretending to read an important message.

However, the trending news on the internet popped up in his browser, shocking him and causing his phone to slip from his hand and fall onto the hard marble floor.

Instantly, both pairs of eyes turned to look at Sam with a perplexed expression.
