My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 468

Chapter 468: Dinner With Spencer Family (4)
Bella was amused to see Amanda and Emily discreetly competing to sit beside her. They ended up sitting on each of her sides, and now she sat awkwardly between them.

She could only smile at them before looking at Rose Wilson and Keira Spencer, sitting across from her and engrossed in discussion.

She observed Keira, trying to find similarities between her and Sean. Their faces were slightly similar, but their eyes were different. While Keira had the same eye color as Emily, Sean’s matched his father’s.

Suddenly, Keira looked at her.

Bella quickly forced an awkward smile, embarrassed to be caught red-handed observing her.

Keira returned Bella’s smile before saying, “Mom, why are you making Sister Bella uncomfortable?” These words instantly made Bella wish she could vanish from the room.

‘How could this girl know?’ Bella silently wondered. She hurriedly tried to adjust her expression, hiding what she really felt now—she just wanted to go home and cuddle with her son—spending her night in her warm, cozy bedroom.

“Ooo, I’m so sorry, Bella, for making you uncomfortable,” Emily said, feeling terrible. She smiled apologetically at her.

“No, Sister Emily. I’m fine,” Bella quickly explained. She didn’t want Emily to feel bad, as she could see it now flashing in her eyes.

“Phew…I’m so relieved. I’m worried that you feel uncomfortable,” Emily smiled. Then she looked at Amanda, who also felt terrible. “Oh, right, Amanda. You said you know Bella. Where did you both meet?” she asked curiously.

Once more, Bella felt tense. She looked at Amanda, wanting to hear her answer.

Inwardly, Bella prayed that Amanda wouldn’t mention how they met in that awkward situation, especially how Sean gave her the Spencer Black card. It would be embarrassing if Amanda exposed her.

A meaningful smile slowly formed on Amanda’s face as she turned to Emily.

“I met her when we were talking about work. Bella is a businesswoman. She’s the CEO,” Amanda paused, looking at Rose and asking, “I believe you’re familiar with Bella’s company, Rose…”

Rose was surprised to hear that Bella was a businesswoman. She had thought Tristan Sinclair’s wife was only a housewife.

“Oh really? Which company?” Rose asked curiously.

“Quantum Capital. The company was established in this country about six or seven years ago, but they’ve grown now,” Amanda explained.

Bella sighed silently. She felt uneasy as Rose, Keira, Jayson Spencer, and the others began paying attention to her and listening to Amanda.

“Of course, I know,” Rose responded, surprised. “Quantum Capital is not a small company. It’s one of the fastest-growing companies in the country. Its progress in the last few months has caught our attention,” she added, smiling politely at Bella.

“Sister Bella, I’m glad to finally meet you. If I’m not mistaken, Quantum Capital recently replaced the CEO. I didn’t know you were now the one sitting as CEO. I hope Wilson Group can collaborate with your company one day,” Rose sincerely expressed.

Bella was amused because she had come to dinner to get to know Tristan’s friends. Still, now she had a business offer from a massive company in this country, like Wilson Group. How lucky she was.

“Thank you so much. I’m looking forward to the opportunity ahead—” Bella tried to keep it low-key. She didn’t want them to know that Quantum Capital was actually a subsidiary of the vast enterprise RDF Group.

However, Bella’s hopes were dashed when Evan, Rose’s husband, suddenly chimed in.

“Mrs. Sinclair, I heard a rumor that Quantum Capital is related to RDF Group, a huge company from the US. Is it true?” Evan asked curiously about such rumors.

Evan has tried to investigate the rumors in the past, but there was no convincing evidence that Quantum Capital was a subsidiary of RDF Group or that RDF had any shares in Qauntum. However, he recently discovered that the tycoon Jack Foster, CEO of RDF Group, visited the country a few months ago and met with Tristan and Bella.

‘Oh, crap! How does he know about it? Did Tristan tell him?’ Bella wondered as she quickly glanced at Tristan, but she could see that he was also surprised to hear Evan’s question.

Unable to avoid the topic, with all eyes now on her, Bella had no choice but to admit it.

However, Bella made a note to investigate the top ten wealthy people in this country, one of them being this man, Evan Collins. He was undoubtedly not a simple man; he might have an intelligent network working for him.

“Yes, that’s right. However, I can’t say this openly,” Bella smiled faintly before finishing her words, “We didn’t expose this for some reason, and I’m sorry—”

Bella felt bad saying that because it sounded like she didn’t entirely trust them.

“Wow! Seriously, Bella?” Amanda was surprised to hear this. As a businessperson, she knew how big RDF Group was, but she didn’t expect Bella’s company to be that big.

“Yes, sister Amanda. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier,” Bella smiled apologetically, trying to divert their attention from her. She felt uncomfortable talking about her company at the Spencer family gathering.

Bella glanced at Tristan as if wanting him to help her. She was grateful that Tristan seemed to see her struggle. Yet, before Tristan could say anything, Jayson Spencer clapped his hands to get everyone’s attention.

“Alright, everyone. Stop asking Bella about her company. Let’s head to the dining room,” Jayson said while standing. He leans closer to Tristan and whispers, “Tristan, you’re such a lucky man having Bella as your wife.”

“Yes, I’m so lucky…” Tristan responds with a proud smile.

With that, Spencer’s dinner finally began. They all enjoyed a relaxed dinner and warm conversation.

Bella felt like she was having dinner with her own family. She no longer felt as tense as before. She blended in with them as if she were part of their family.

“Bella, eat more,” Emily, who sat across from her, said.

“Yes, Bella, don’t be shy,” Amanda, who sat next to her, said. She pushed a few dishes toward her.

“I’m done, sister. Thank you,” Bella politely refused.

Tristan smiled at her, knowing his wife was shy. He stroked her back gently to comfort her.

Before long, the Spencer family dinner finally ended.

When they all returned to the living room, they were shocked to see a man sitting casually on the single sofa, smiling at them.

“Sean? When did you come back?” Emily was surprised to see her son.
