Chapter 100
Bella's POV
My words irritated Caroline. She said angrily, "What did you say? Do you want to be beaten?"
After that, Caroline raised her hand and wanted to hit me.
I reached out to grab her wrist and said coldly, "Caroline, have you had enough? I've tolerated you for a long time! You just want Herbert, don't you? I've already given him to you. As for whether you can make him marry you, it's up to you. Don't make trouble for me!" I didn't know why Herbert didn't want to marry Caroline and it had nothing to do with me, but I was sick of her pestering me! I let go of her and pushed her away. Then I headed straight for the door. "Bella, even if Herbert doesn't marry me now, he has already divorced you!" From behind came the shout of Caroline. I didn't stop and went straight out, because I didn't want to continue to be entangled with Caroline. After leaving the bathroom, I turned around and walked to the entrance of the banquet hall. But after taking a few steps, my wrist was suddenly grabbed by a big hand!
I looked back in panic and saw a cold face. Before I could speak, he dragged me out of a door at the end of the corridor.
We went out of the corridor and went straight to the back garden of Mr. Reina's house. It was very quiet here.
"Why did you bring me here?" I shook off Herbert's hand.
"I have something to tell you." said Herbert.
"I don't want to hear it!" I turned around and went back.
Herbert stepped forward and blocked my way. I struggled. "Let go of me. Do you hear me?" Not only did he not let go of me, he tightly gripped my shoulders. "Do you know that Klein has a girlfriend? You're now a third party! Do you know?"
I was stunned.
Although I didn't have any thoughts towards Klein, I really didn't know that he had a girlfriend.
Herbert was even angrier. He roared at me, "Klein and Vivian have been in love for many years, and this relationship has also been recognized by the two families, so you don't have any chance to be Klein's wife. From now on, you'd better immediately draw a clear line with him. If you deliberately pester him, there won't be a good result! Don't let others think you're a shameless woman."
I intentionally pester Klein? A shameless woman?
In his eyes, I was such a woman?
I couldn't stand such slander, so I raised my hand and slapped Herbert's face!
Pa...
A crisp sound rang out in the air.
Herbert stared at me and did not fight back
I yelled at him, "Have you reached an agreement with Caroline? She came to belittle me, and now you come to insult me? What do both of you want?" Herbert asked, "Did she make trouble for you?" "Are you acting? Don't you know what your woman has done?" I said angrily. Herbert frowned. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Don't worry. I'll warn her not to cause you any trouble in the future, but you have to stay far away from Klein!" "You don't have the right to control about me!" Of course, I wouldn't continue to be entangled with Klein, but I didn't want to show any signs of compromise in front of Herbert. "My patience has its limit. Don't challenge my limits!" Herbert warned me.
My temper was very stubborn. The more he didn't want me to do anything, the more I had to say those words to make him angry!
"Herbert, I've already divorced you. We have nothing to do with each other. What right do you have to care about me dating any man? I'm telling you, in the future, I'm going to be in touch with Klein. I just like him, and I might even move to his house. I..."
Pa...
Before I could finish my words, he raised his hand and slapped me on the cheek. All of a sudden, I felt dizzy and my cheeks hurt. But what hurt more than my face was my heart.
I turned my head and stared at Herbert..
Herbert's POV:
When I heard Bella say that she had nothing to do with me, and that she wanted to continue being together with Klein.
I was extremely angry.
I was usually a very calm person, but when faced with Bella, my emotions were always out of control. This woman could always easily affect my emotions.
I didn't want her to continue, but I didn't expect my strength to be so powerful.
At this moment, I was very regretful. I reached out to hold Bella, but Bella pushed me away directly. She covered her cheek and looked at me, saying, "Herbert, I just hit you, and now you hit me too. We owe each other nothing. I don't know you in the future. If I meet you, I will treat you as... a stranger."
After that, Bella covered her face and turned to run. I lowered my head and looked at my palm. I couldn't help but feel sad. I was worried about her face but at the same time I was angry at her attitude toward me. In the past, I had been thinking about a question. What happened between us? In my memory, Bella and I were clearly very good. We were very happy. Since when did we gradually distance ourselves from each other...
Bella's POV:
I ran straight into the bathroom. My cheeks were already red and swollen. I didn't want to go out and be seen by others, but it didn't seem to be good to leave quietly. After all, I nromised that tonight I would be Klein's female companion
Klein...
I thought of the warning Herbert had given me to stay far away from Klein. Klein and I had always been friends, and we couldn't even be considered friends. He actually said that I was deliberately pestering Klein! It was too hateful.
I reached out and removed the hairpin from my head. My long hair immediately fell down, and I changed the style of my hair as fast as I could. A few minutes later, I returned to the banquet hall in my high heels. At this moment, the auction had just begun. Seeing me, Klein immediately walked over and asked, "Where did you go? I couldn't find you?" "I went to the bathroom." I answered with a smile. I looked very calm, but in fact, my face was burning with pain at the moment. "Hey, why did your hairstyle change?" Klein looked at my hair and asked. At this moment, my long hair was draped gently over one side of my shoulder, and this hairstyle just covered half of my face.
I quickly touched my hair and said, "The hairpin is broken, so it can only be like this." "This way, it will be even more beautiful." Klein praised. Hearing this, I thanked him politely. When I turned my head, I happened to see Herbert standing not far away. At this moment, his eyes were coldly staring at me. Although I told myself that I didn't care, I still felt uncomfortable in my heart, so I quickly turned away and pretended not to see him. Klein led me into the crowd. At this moment, everyone was focused on watching the host auction off the items that Mrs. Reina had donated. Klein put one hand on my shoulder. I leaned to the side and pushed his hand away.. Klein had a girlfriend, and they were about to get married. I had to keep some distance from him. And when he held me in his arms, I could sense that Klein seemed to have surpassed the boundaries of being friends with me. This was a bit terrifying!
