My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 504

Chapter 504: Sam’s Question Surprised Her
At Bella and Tristan’s house,

After talking to Leo, Bella made another call.

“Good morning, Sam,” Bella greeted him cheerfully. “I saw you’ve been trying to reach me. Is there something important you want to talk about?”

“Yes, Boss,” Sam’s worried tone could be heard from the other end. “Do you still remember Dark Skull?” he asked.

Bella paused momentarily, trying to understand why Sam suddenly asked her about it.

“Yeah, I remember. If I’m not mistaken, Dark Skull is why we established the Sentinel Network in this country, right?”

“Yes. You’re right. But later, when we started to build our network here, they no longer appeared to be tailing you. And surprisingly, we discovered that Dark Skull is related to Dark Rose, the current number one nightclub in this country.”

“I know that they’re not tailing me anymore. And why do you seem worried, Sam!? We don’t have a nightclub business,” Bella responded confusedly. “We will not encounter them in our business, right?”

“Boss, can you hear me out first?” Sam chuckled.

Bella, “…”

Sam continued without waiting for Bella to answer. “Well, I heard from our people in Quantum Capital… Last night, Dark Skull’s base camp was wiped out. A few of their leaders were arrested. Also, the Dark Rose business chain will be audited, so they can’t operate until an undetermined time.”

Bella was increasingly confused hearing Sam’s explanation. Why did Sam think this was important for her to know? She did not care as long as the Dark Skull organization did not interfere with their company.

She knew very well that their business did not encounter those people.

“Seriously!? Why are you telling me this?” Bella asked impatiently. She wanted to see her husband upstairs, but Sam seemed to want to continue gossiping about other people’s business.

Instead of answering her, Sam asked, “Seriously, Boss, you don’t know?”

“Should I know about it? I still can’t relate.” Bella asked in return.

“The one who wiped out the Dark Skull base is actually Reid. He and his team attack and wipe out the Dark Skull base. You know him, right?”

“Reid? Is this the Reid in Tristan’s office?” Bella repeated the name. She only knew one Reid, the Head of the Security division in Tristan’s office.

“Yes, that Reid. And I also heard that Bryan and his team made a tactical move last night. However, I asked my people to back out from the scene because I’m worried they are suspicious, we know.”

Bella was surprised to hear that.

“Bryan? What the hell happened out there? Why did they all…” Bella’s voice suddenly stopped as she remembered Tristan, who had to leave the house last night and only returned in the morning.

She was puzzled now. Didn’t Tristan say he went to the office because of a cybersecurity problem? Why did Sam seem to want to tell her that her husband was the one who wiped out the old gangster base camp last night?

“Wait, so you’re saying my husband did all that? Wiped out the Dark Skull’s Basecamp and closed down their business?”

The sound of Sam taking a long, deep breath on the other end made Bella nervous.

“That’s why I called you Boss. I wanted to ask if your husband was involved in this operation because I have long suspected that your husband doesn’t have simple bodyguards. They all look like soldiers,” Sam said.

Sam’s words made Bella realize the many questions she wanted to ask Tristan but had always put them aside.

Hearing what Sam told her, Bella was sure that her suspicions about Bryan and the others being more than just ordinary security guards were confirmed.

“Boss? Are you still there?” Sam asked after not hearing Bella respond for a few minutes.

“Yes, I’m here. But Sam, you asked the wrong person because I don’t know the answer,” Bella chuckled. “Well, you can try asking Bryan. You know him well. I believe he will tell you…”

Sam’s booming laugh could suddenly be heard from the other end, causing Bella to pull away her cell phone.

“Gosh, Sam! Why are you laughing?” Bella asked.

“Boss, if only I could make Bryan talk. Maybe I would have reported to you by now what happened. Bryan is like a rock when talking to me about other matters that are not related to you. The same thing happened to the people your husband placed in our building; they have one similar trait: they don’t babble,” Sam explained.

Bella took a deep breath to hear that.

They continued chatting for a while, and suddenly, Bella remembered about Harper.

“Oh right, Sam. Has Harper contacted you? She said she will fly here for Dax’s Birthday Party…”

“Yeah, she did. She said she would arrive in two days. I already booked a hotel for her,” Sam replied.

“Please, let me know if she arrives. I need to talk to her about something.” Bella is so excited to meet Harper again. She wanted to talk to her about Sean.

“Sure, boss.”

At the Star Hotel.

Instantly, Harper’s entire body felt goosebumps and became tense.

“Sean, you want me to meet your mother? Are you sure?” she asked to make sure.

“Yes. My mother already knows about you,” Sean replied.

Once again, Harper almost fell. She was too shocked. She quickly controlled herself, trying to smile at Sean.

“Ugh, we need to talk. Please come in,” Harper said, dragging her suitcase inside, not waiting for Sean to answer.

After knowing that Sean’s mother wanted to meet her, her rationality returned. It was like an invisible force that made her refocus.

This was a huge thing. She had to be ready to meet his mother. She shouldn’t make a mistake, appear unimpressive in front of Sean’s mother, and lose the opportunity to be Sean’s future wife; that would be disastrous, right?

Stopping near the large living room, Harper turned towards the door and was taken aback when she saw Sean still standing where he was, looking hesitant to enter the room.

“Sean? Why didn’t you enter? Come in… we need to discuss something before I met your mother.”

“But—”

Harper suppressed a smile when she saw Sean hesitating to enter; he seemed worried.

“Don’t worry, just come in. I won’t eat you, Sean,” she wanted to say but held back.
