The Perks Of Divorcing My Billionaire Husband のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 69

Bella met up with Tracy the next day, and some of her bitterness spilled over. She was certain she was good at hiding her emotions, but maybe it was just the people around her who were nonchalant about it.“It’s not like she’s a bad person. I just feel like… she reminds me a lot of someone I know.” And no, it wasn’t just the blond hair and pretty eyes either. Lucille reminded her of Jessica — the same ambitious gleam that came over her sister’s eyes whenever she spoke about certain things had been picked up by Lucille as well.With Jessica, it had been with Vaughn. Bella honestly didn’t know how she had been ignorant of the cheating when it had been right in her face. With Lucille it was different… or not so different. She gave off a mean-girl kind of vibe which made Bella uncomfortable. And the fact that she had laughed at the trashy things her friends had said, even while being aware of Bella’s own unfortunate marital past, was just plain rude.There were certain circles of people t

“What’s all this about?” Tracy looked between Silas and Felix, who was still holding a clearly drunk Bella. She had been dancing with Edwin at one point when he suddenly left her. She’d followed him in confusion, only to stumble into this scene.“You!” Silas snatched his drunk sister from the stranger’s arms. Felix could see the resemblance between them, so he didn’t doubt they were siblings. It was just a bit awkward being glared at by a teenager. “What were you planning to do to her?!”“I was going to take her somewhere to catch a movie.”“Do you think I’m an idiot? Look how wasted she is.” To prove his point, he shook his sister like a rag doll, and she didn’t even protest. “Does it look like she can watch a movie like this?! I swear, you have no fucking idea who you’re messing with.”“Calm down, kid. We didn’t know she would drink this much.” Tracy felt bad for not paying attention to her friend. Though she thought the blond stranger Bella had almost left with was handsome and dec

He wanted to meet up with her? Bella was more than surprised. Could it be that he hadn’t seen the photos? Or maybe he simply didn’t care? She had assumed the events of the previous night were nothing but a drunken mess — something no respectable person would want to be caught up in.Who would have thought the man still wanted to meet her?But… did she want to see him again? He was handsome, but that was all she remembered. Besides, she was certain the media would be on her tail, waiting for her to mess up so they could publish it for the world to see.“I’m an adult though.” If even Isaac — who was usually so strict — thought she was overreacting, then maybe she shouldn’t take everything so seriously. The only reason those photos were trending was because of her association with Vaughn, a celebrity. It wasn’t because her actions were scandalous or out of the ordinary. She had been in a club. There were definitely people doing far worse things, like banging in the restrooms.And if she

Vaughn thought the whole thing was deeply annoying.He had flown all the way from New York to Beijing for her. Cleared his schedule. Postponed meetings. Forced an entire board of directors to wait. And this—this—was how she reacted? Cold and distant?, as if his presence meant nothing.Wasn’t she flattered?He leaned back against his car, jaw tight, fingers tapping lightly against his watch. Time wasn't on his side. He truly had no idea what had gotten into this little wifey of his. She used to be so cute and docile, so eager to please, so desperate for his approval. She used to look at him like he was the center of her universe.Now?Now she was so rebellious , he could hardly even recognize her. A spitfire. She was Sharp-tongued, stubborn, and was getting increasingly difficult to control.And strangely enough, that only made him want her more. After all, he liked his women fiery. The way she looked at him now—angry and almost hateful, It stirred something dark and possessive de

Bella didn’t dare go outside casually anymore. She still went to the gym, but she was being very discreet about that.“I can’t believe he came back,” Tracy said as Bella finished narrating the event of the past three days. It was genuinely traumatizing for her. She had expected the whole thing to blow up over the news, but it hadn’t. “Your ex husband sounds so shameless.”“He is! I can’t believe he expects me to go back to him after everything.” Did he think she was that stupid? Bella had anxiously waited for a divorce, she had rejected all of Vaughn’s lawyers’ proposals to give her properties and money. It wasn’t because she didn’t need those things, she had wanted to cut all ties with Vaughn. Taking his money would prove that he could buy her back with the right amount.What was his problem anyway? They had parted ways in a way that would leave his good boy reputation intact. No one knew about the abuse she had endured, rather, most people blamed her for being selfish. They all assu
