My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Confront Jessica Sinclair
Leo gently placed his hand on Bella’s shoulder. When Bella turned her gaze at him, he smiled at her before saying, “Let’s go. No need to care about them.”

She nods and follows him.

Bella and Leo walked toward the VIP room, ignoring Jessica. However, Jessica didn’t let them go just like that. She ran after them.

When they arrived at the corridor heading to the VIP room, where no guests could look at them, Jessica verbally attacked Bella again.

“Bella, why do you ignore me? I only wanted to know why you suddenly returned to this country?” Jessica asked curiously.

However, when Jessica saw them, still ignoring her, she felt anger swallow her.

“If you think you can come back to ruin my family again, forget it. If you insist, I will—” Jessica’s voice faded when she saw Bella finally stop her step. A smile graced Jessica’s face.

Leo was surprised to see Bella’s expression slowly change from calm to icy.

“Bella, let me handle that woman. Go to the VIP room and wait for me; you don’t have to deal with this kind of woman,” he said worriedly.

A forced smile appeared on Bella’s face as she shook her head, “No, Leo. Please don’t stop me. I will handle this. That shameless woman will not stop bothering me if I don’t deal with her now.”

She wasn’t afraid of Jessica but didn’t want to make a scene in public when she was in this restaurant. Because she knew who owned this place, the Spencer Family.

What’s more, outside, she could see people starting to take photos of them, even though she had hidden her face, afraid that someone would recognize her, especially Sean’s family.

“But—”

“It’s fine,” Bella interrupted him. “I can handle her…” She said and turned her body to face Jessica.

Bella saw Jessica stop a few steps away from her. She looked graceful, but her gaze was clear to mock her. Beside Jessica stood a tall woman with a slender body, her hair tied up. Her shades were still perched on her dainty nose. Behind her shades, Bella could feel Laura Kiels staring at her intently.

She just laughed inwardly at the fact that this woman, Tristan’s woman, was actually a talent in her company.

‘Did Tristan know that I own Quantum Capital?’ she wondered, feeling amused. She shook her head slightly, trying to push that thought aside.

Bella’s gaze fixed on Jessica once more. When she saw Jessica’s mocking smile growing from the corners of her lips, Bella walked forward. She stopped exactly two steps from Jessica.

“Ms. Sinclair—” Bella said in an icy tone enough to surprise Jessica to hear Bella talking to her in such a manner. “Are you curious to know why I returned?” she asked.

“Yes… Yes… Why did you come back!?” Jessica answered quickly in a slightly shrill voice. She knew Bella ran to another country, and now she wanted to know her motive for returning to this country.

Jessica could guess that Bella had already spent all her alimony money. That’s why she returned to this country. Jessica was worried that Bella returned to blackmail her son using her status as Tristan’s ex-wife. If that was her intention, she couldn’t let that happen.

Bella shook her head slowly.

A small laugh escaped her lips before she said casually, “Ms. Sinclair, you don’t deserve to know why. Because to me, you are nobody. So, why should I tell you!?” She said with a nonchalant expression with a hint of condescending, yet her voice was as cold as ice.

Jessica was shocked to hear Bella’s words. How dare this woman say those words to her?

“Y-You bi—” She opened her mouth to scold Bella, but her voice betrayed her; no words could escape her lips. She could only scold Bella through her gaze.

Bella ignores Jessica’s sharp gaze and continues, “Why are you so eager to talk to me, even though you severed the family ties between us several years ago? You even instructed me never to be seen in your presence again. Have you forgotten about that?”

“Bella, you—” Jessica feels her face turn hot, holding back her anger hearing Bella’s words.

“All right, let’s end it here,” Bella chuckled when she saw her face turn red, afraid this shameless woman might get a heart attack if she continued. “I hope you stop bothering me if you see me again because I will do that too. Bye…” She turned away.

Bella feels her heart lighter after expressing her anger and feels in a good mood looking at how angry Jessica is now.

“I don’t believe you changed a lot, Bella. You are so rude to your elder…” Jessica shouted.

Bella, “…”

‘Geez!! You are nobody to me, let alone my elder!’ Bella could only say that inwardly.

“Ms. Sinclair, you should go home now,” Bella said without looking at Jessica. “Your face and the woman next to you could be trending on social media. Congrats… For your success in ruining somebody else’s career…”

Instantly, Jessica’s face turned pale upon hearing Bella’s words. She looks at Laura in shock and realizes something.

“Laura, check the internet. Someone might upload the video or picture about us…” She said in panic.

****

The waiter accompanying Bella and Leo followed them from behind in a hurry.

His face still looked pale, witnessing something that had never happened in this restaurant. And all of this happened when their floor manager was not around. He could only pray that these two people won’t blame him.

He could see this couple was not ordinary people he could treat carelessly because they didn’t even care about famous public figures like Laura Kiels.

After opening the VIP door, he immediately apologized to them for trying to help those two women snatch their VIP room.

“Don’t worry… You don’t need to apologize; it’s not your fault.” Bella said and excused herself to the bathroom. She let Leo talk to the waiter and let him order the food.

She rushed to the bathroom inside the VIP room to calm her heart and mind.
