Sara knocked on the door, but there was no response on the other side. Because of this, she now
doubted if Bess was really there.
"Miss Sara, I've already told you that Miss Wang is not at home, but you still don't believe me. If you
have something very important to say, please come back some other day. Miss Wang isn't really here,"
the butler said while wiping the cold sweat on his forehead. He was specifically instructed that he must
not let anyone disturb Bess. At that moment, he was afraid that he would not be able to do as ordered.
"Can you just open the door and let me in?" If Sara went in and saw that Bess was indeed not there,
she would give up and leave.
"I'm afraid that we don't have the key. After all, this is Miss Wang's room," the butler replied with a hint
of embarrassment in his face.
"Really? Why do I feel that you're lying?" Sara rolled her eyes at him. What he had said just now was
unbelievable! Well, she had suspected him of lying for the very beginning.
"What I've said is the truth. Miss Sara, why don't you believe me? Miss Wang is really not at home. The
servants can attest to that." When the butler spoke, he even made a gesture that meant he was
swearing to God, making Sara believe him a little. Nevertheless, she knocked on the door even more.
"Bess, I know you're inside. Come out. Let's talk. Don't think too much alone. I'm here! Listen to me:
Noah is not a bad guy. It's just that sometimes, men, even good ones, do stupid things. Please forgive
him."
Sara was now pounding the door. After hearing her words, the butler's face turned as white as a sheet.
"Miss Bess tried her best to help him, but he was ungrateful! He didn't even appreciate everything Miss
Wang has done for him. He also said that Miss Wang didn't love him. If she didn't, how could they have
gone so far together? I've worked for Miss Wang long enough that I've watched her turn into a fine lady.
It's true that Mr. Noah has gone too far this time,"
said the butler seriously. He did not care about what Sara would think. After all, his resentment for
Noah had not subsided yet.
"If you two have a misunderstanding, you should solve it together. If he really did something wrong,
then he should apologize. But, you should also give him a chance to explain. You can't just ignore him
and think he's a bad guy,"
Sara said sincerely. Standing aside, the butler seemed to be touched by her words. It was not easy for
Bess to meet a man she liked over the years, so the butler was at a loss for words.
"Bess, did you hear me? If you don't come out, Noah and Jacob will look for you outside all night long.
They won't stop until they find you. Maybe they'll even call the police. If that happens, everyone will
know what has happened and will be worried sick about you. You don't want that, do you?"
Sara had no choice but to threaten Bess. Because of the butler's attitude, it made her even certain that
Bess was at home.
"Bess, did you hear what I said?"
Just as Sara was about to knock again, the door suddenly opened. Bess opened the door. Her eyes
were red and swollen with tears. There was nothing the butler could do but sigh. With that, he turned
around and went downstairs.
She finally came out and hugged Sara. Feeling the comfort of her friend, Bess could not hold back her
tears anymore.
"Sara, how could he say that I disregarded our relationship just for money? Am I that kind of person?
Nobody could afford a capital worth 200 million, not even me! Besides, my father's company has to be
managed. He said that I never thought of him, but he didn't think of me either!"
As Bess spoke, she leaned on Sara's shoulder and sobbed.
Sara, too, felt sad. It was unlike Bess to be like this. She had always been strong and positive. But
because of love, she became fragile.
"It's okay, Bess. He's making phone calls everywhere. I bet he's regretting it now. Please forgive him
already. Noah is really a good man,"
Sara comforted. Truth be told, their quarrel was nothing short of a misunderstanding. However, not
everyone had the same threshold. If Bess was the one who met Jacob, she would have collapsed and
given up.
"Sara, he quarreled with me just because of something trivial. What if it happens again? I don't want to
think about it." Bess let go of Sara and looked at her with glistening eyes.
With bright eyes, Sara looked back at her friend. Bess' eyes were bloodshot from nonstop crying. If
other people saw her tearful appearance, they would definitely feel very sorry for her.
"Sara, you know what? I have too many expectations for Noah. Every time something like this
happens, my expectations for him decrease a little. I'm afraid that my expectations for him would
eventually run out. Once that happens, we're over."
Bess looked at Sara and sobbed again. She did not want to cry anymore. However, she felt
heartbroken when she thought of that possibility.
"Why do you think so, Bess? It's really not a big deal. Don't take it too seriously. Look at me. Jacob and
I have gone through worse, but we're still fine. This is just a misunderstanding. It isn't a big deal. Trust
me,"
Sara comforted Bess while holding her hand. Then, they entered the bedroom and shut the door.
"Where are Noah and Jacob anyway? Why didn't they come with you?" Bess stopped crying. She had
never cried in front of Sara. Because of this, it was unusual for Sara to see her friend in this state.
"They're afraid that something will happen to you, so they're looking for you around the world. Don't
worry. I'll tell them that I've already found you. That way, Noah will stop blaming himself and will not be
anxious anymore."
Just as Sara was about to take out her phone, Bess quickly reached out her hand and stopped Sara
from doing so. "No. Let him be anxious. Let's see if he would dare to fight me next time. As I've said, if
he doesn't want to be with me anymore, we can break up."
Bess pouted. If anyone could see her right now, they could tell in an instant that she was now mad.
Sara did as told. "Okay. I won't call them. We're going to let them be worried and anxious about you.
Let's make them look for you the whole night. That'll teach them a lesson. Is that okay, Bess?"
Bess, however, got anxious when she heard this. "Is it so hard for them to look for me all night?"
"What's wrong? Why do you feel sorry for them? You were angry just now." Sara looked at Bess with a
smile. How could she not know Bess' thoughts?
Hearing Sara's provocation, Bess turned beet red. "Who says I feel sorry for them? I just don't want to
torture Jacob. Besides, he's also looking for me outside. Aren't you worried about him? What if
something happens?"
With a red face, Bess deliberately changed the topic. She did not want to dwell on it anymore.
"Then... should I call them now?" Sara asked tentatively. Of course, she figured out that Bess was
finally feeling better. She smiled to herself. This scene seemed familiar.
"No, wait a minute. Let him worry a little more. Otherwise, he won't realize how important I really am to
him." Looking at the proud look on Bess' face, Sara was at a loss.
"I don't understand you young people. Is it because the world is progressing too rapidly, or because I'm
too far behind to understand how young people like you love?"
Sara asked with a shrug. That was what she really had in mind right now.
"Young people? You sound like you're very old. Sara, we're about the same age, okay?" Bess muttered
discontentedly. With that, she slumped on a chair in the bedroom.
Sara walked up to Bess, unable to contain her laughter. "By the way, when can I inform Noah and
Jacob that you're right here? They're really looking for you all over the world like crazy. I swear I'm not
exaggerating."
Seeing Sara's serious expression, Bess felt anxious again. "Don't you think that I'm going too far? To
be honest, I also did something wrong. I just wanted to surprise Noah after I got enough money. I didn't
expect that it would cause so much trouble."
Despite seeing Bess' remorseful look, Sara just shrugged. "You know what? Let them wait. Men
shouldn't get used to treating ladies like that. Look at Jacob. I spoiled him, so he causes trouble all the
time."
Bess nodded in agreement and said with a straight face, "You're right. Fortunately, Noah is better than
Jacob, or else I won't stand it."
