Chapter 148
Hearing her words, Chase smiled.
“Yes,” he said, as he strode towards the window.
He drew the curtains open casually.
Outside, the rain had stopped!
The sun shone across the land, spreading its warmth as far as the eyes could see. After such a soul-searching experience, Bella had finally grown up.
As the saying went, only those who had experienced extreme hardship would truly see the rainbow after it.
“Fret not, Bella. I’ve already understood your intentions, Chase muttered inwardly.
He would accompany her to help these paon villagers!
Even if she decided to turn a blind eye to them, he would not hesitate to support her decision!
“Wait for my return!” Chase promised silently.
In accordance with Bella’s wish, Chase withdrew five million yuan from the company’s account.
Bella hoped to let those elders be able to see and feel the cash.
He brought the money home, as Bella would want to go there as well.
However, when he returned home, he found that Rosaline and the rest of the Song far were all gathered in the middle of the hall The person whom they were gathered around was Bella.
The whole Song family was planning to keep an eye on Bella all the time.
They were enraged when they found out that Bella took out the money from the company’s account.
With an aggressive look, Ethan was about to jab Bella’s face with his hand as he said,”Bella Song, now what? Now that you know the Song family is in trouble, do you plan to run away with the funds?”
“If I hadn’t been watching you all this time, you would have run away! You are the of the Song family! B*tch!”
The members of the Song family surrounding her were all reprimanding her incessantly.
“Hmph, you want only to bask in the Song family’s glory and splendor! But you won’t even endure trials and tribulations alongside us! You are really disgusting!”
Ethan then continued, “You little b*tch! The downfall of the Song family today is all because of you! If you hadn’t offended Daniel, the Zhao family would not have done this to us! After causing all this chaos, are you going to leave just like that? I’m telling you now, don’t even think about it!”
Bella was incomparably pale as she stood in the eye of the storm. After all, she still had not recovered from her illness yet.
However, her eyes no longer contained gentleness. It was replaced by an unflinching tenacity!
She had made up her mind and would never regret it!
Seeing that Bella was not repentant, Ethan was so angry that he raised his hand and brought it down to slap Bella.
Before his palm connected, a loud bang startled them all, stopping Ethan in his tracks.
A chair had been viciously smashed into pieces!
The ground was then covered with sawdust!
Chase, who was carrying a snakeskin bag, walked over with a grave and stern face.
At Chase’s appearance, the group of people became even more furious.
“Now you’ve done it! Do you want to take our lives next?”
Another person chimed in, “You think you’re so gutsy?! Come on, I’m standing right here!
Hit me!”
Chase didn’t want to bring himself down to the level of these lunatics. In his eyes, all he cared about was Bella who was so lovely haughty at this moment.
He gently helped Bella onto the sofa, then placed the snakeskin bag full of cash on the table.
“Did you take the money out?” Bella croaked.
Chase nodded. “It’s all here.”
When the rest of the Song family saw that the two of them were talking about the money right in front of them, they gnashed their teeth in anger. What an audacious duo!
“Bella, what are you going to do!? Come clean with me! Otherwise, don’t you dare leave! Rosaline screeched angrily.
Bella looked at Rosaline indifferently, “What am I going to do? I’m going to buy up all the Heption Herbs to atone for our family’s sins.”
Everyone was dumbfounded by her words.
Buying up all the Heption Herb?
To them, the Heption Herb was like a hot potato. They couldn’t throw it even if they want to.
And now, Bella wanted to buy more of the Heption Herb!
She must be crazy!
Rosaline was so outraged that she burst into laughter. “Bella, how dare you! If you don’t give me a proper reason today, I will never forgive you!”
“The enmity between the Zhao family and the Song family should not bring harm to those innocent farmers. We lost our company but we still have other means of
living. But what about those poor elderly people in the Heption Village? Without the Heption Herbs, they have nothing else. The whole incident was caused by our own misleading propaganda. Since nobody has the guts to admit it, I’ll take the blame for it,” Bella boomed, aloof.
Each of her sentence stabbed right into the heart of every member in the Song family.
The cause of the incident was indeed the Song family, and all the Zhao family did was to add fuel to fire.
Everyone in the Song family knew this, but they would never admit their mistakes.
Yet now, Bella was intending to take the blame for the Song family!
“Yo-yo-you’ve gone overboard! Are you still a member of our family? We are already in jeopardy, yet you still want to squander our money?! Do you know it will only make
things worse?” Rosaline pounded on her chest in frustration!
“I am from the Song family! I amn also the president of the Song Group! Why can’t I make this decision? However, before I am the president of the Song Group, I am, first, a human. I value life, unlike you,” Bella retorted, human. I value life, unlike you, Bella retorted unwavering.
“Fine! Fine! Since you want to be kind so badly, I will grant your wish! You can buy as much of the herbs as you like! However, you are not allowed to use the company’s money! You can buy them with your own personal assets! Also, I will make it clear to the whole city that a hypocrite like you has nothing to do with our family from now on!”
Rosaline screamed, her saliva splashed across the room.
Bella, on the other hand, seemed to have anticipated this outcome.
From the beginning to the end, all that the Song family wanted was money.
When they made the first purchase, the Sous family forced her to use the company’s account, so that they could reap the profits of her labor.
But now, when the disaster was imminent, they forced Bella to use her own money, fearing that her behavior would invite further misfortune to the family.
What was even more ridiculous was that Ethan abused his power for personal gain. Embezzling the company’s money to build his own fortune was an utter act of disgrace. Yet in the face of the Song family, it did not even stir up so much as a ripple.
Bella’s heart went cold at the double standards they practiced.
She said indifferently, “Okay, I will pawn the Emperor’s Flower and some of my personal assets. Whatever I do are all my personal deeds and have nothing to do with the Song family.”
Rosaline hoped her threats would make Bella change her mind.
It did the opposite instead, making Bella more determined than ever.
She was actually willing to sacrifice everything she had to save those good-for nothing villagers!
She was blinded! There was nothing that could save her from it!
Every member of the Song family was so dumbstruck by Bella’s assertiveness that they remained silent!
Just as Bella wanted to let Chase leave, Ethan’s voice rang loud.
He stared at Bella with malice.
He said to Rosaline, “Grandma, how can we let them off so easily? After all, Bella is going to do it in the name of the Song family!” He then turned to Bella, “Since you insist on buying the Heption Herbs, we won’t object to
this matter but only on one condition!”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
He paused for a while and added, “You must also purchase the ten thousand kilograms of Heption Herbs from us and from me.
