"I really didn't know what kind of person you are! You've been sleeping beside me for so many years,
and you've also lied to me for so many years! Bella, you're evil!"
Ballard kicked her to the floor.
Bella covered her stomach in pain and continued to make a pitiful face.
"Ballard, I was wronged. Believe me. That wasn't me in the recording. It must be Martha and Tim trying
to hurt me. They synthesized the voice! That's right! They're trying to frame me up! Ballard, I've been
being with you for so many years, even though you didn't marry me. Don't you know how good I'm to
you?"
Seeing that Bella still refused to admit her mistake now, Ballard couldn't help but become even angrier.
"They synthesized it? They're trying to hurt you? I think it's more like you're trying to hurt them! This is
Martha's blood test report. There's slow poison in her blood. Don't tell me you don't know Martha's
nurse!"
"What do I know? I don't know anything! Ballard, if you don't believe me when they're trying to frame
me up, then what's the point of living? I might as well die!"
As she spoke, Bella stood up and wanted to hit the wall. She had thought that someone would stop her,
but after waiting for a while, everyone was just staring at her without a word, whether it was Ballard or
Jacob. They had absolutely no intention of stopping her.
Bella felt so embarrassed.
"Jacob, I'm your mother! Are you really this cruel, just standing there to watch me die?"
Jacob turned his head away and didn't look at Bella, but his hands were tightly clenched together.
Martha frowned slightly, as if she was a little surprised by the news that she was poisoned, but she did
not panic or show too much fear.
Seeing this, Nicole walked in from outside.
"Bella, my people have saved that nurse and she is currently under my protection. Do you want to
confront her?"
Bella was immediately stunned after she heard Nicole's words. Then, anger flashed through her eyes.
"Nicole, don't get yourself involved in other people's businesses, even if you're married to Samuel. I
advise you to go out and leave here. You don't want trouble from us."
Nicole found Bella's words funny.
"This is not other people's business."
Martha looked at Bella and said coldly, "Nicole is my niece by blood, so she's never an outsider in this
business. If we have to pick out outsiders here, it will probably be you and your son."
Bella had been planning the whole thing for so many years, but she failed on the verge of success. She
was so angry that her eyes turned red.
"Jacob, why are you just watching as they your mother like this?"
Jacob looked at Bella, the woman who gave birth to him but then abandoned him. In the past, he had
wondered if his parents sent him to the orphanage for some special reason. Now he knew that he was
sent away by his biological father because he was greedy for the property of the Louis family. And he
was just a means and a tool for his parents to achieve their goal.
If Jacob could ignore all the sadness he had experienced in the past, he felt that he could not ignore it
this time.
This was a trauma his biological parents had left him with. It was a wound that could not be healed at
all.
"You'd better come with me. I'll take you to the police so you can turn yourself in."
Jacob's words instantly enraged Bella.
"You're such a bad son! Why should I turn myself in? It's been so many years. Are you happy, seeing
your mother going to prison? You're my son, a child of the Louis family, but you went to the Green
family to be their servant. Did you really become a flunky after working for the Green family?"
Bella's words were harsh.
Nicole immediately frowned.
"Bella, watch your language. You can insult others, but you shouldn't insult Jacob. Jacob is not a
servant in the Green family. He is the same as me and Samuel. He is a free man. A few years ago,
Jacob's contract was due. It was him who was unwilling to leave. Why did he choose to stay at the
Green's and work with Samuel over coming back to live with his mother? Have you ever thought about
that? Apart from giving birth to him, what else have you done for him as his mother all these years?"
"That's something between him and me! Don't get yourself involved in our business!"
Bella shouted at Nicole.
Perhaps because all the important people here didn't help her at all, Bella was a little hysterical.
Jacob subconsciously knitted his eyebrows and protected Nicole behind him naturally.
"Mother, do you really think that you can get away if you don't admit it? It's fine if you're just greedy. You
shouldn't try to murder others. Maia is dead. How did she die? Don't tell me you don't know."
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
Bella hurriedly turned her head away from Jacob.
Jacob sighed and said in a low voice, "Mother, the police have arrested Cornell. Do you think a man
like him will protect you?"
Bella froze.
"What did you say?"
"I'm serious. Cornell has been arrested. The evidence is conclusive. If he wants to commute his
sentence, he will be most likely to tell everything he is certain and uncertain to the police and place all
the blame on you. Mother, if you come with me and turn yourself in, you may still be able to be dealt
with leniently. But if you refuse to realize your error, no one will be able to save you at that time."
Jacob's words made Bella feel cold. She even felt as if she had fallen into an icy lake.
She looked at Jacob, Ballard, and then Tim and Martha, as well as Nicole who was standing at the
door. She suddenly laughed hard and even tears welled up in her eyes.
"I've planned this for so long. I tried to fight you at the expenses of my youth and my son, but I still lose
to you! Martha, honestly speaking, have you been playing dumb all these years? You're actually the
most calculating woman, aren't you?"
"I'll beat you up if you continue to speak ill of my mother!"
Seeing Bella cursing his mother, Tim couldn't control his temper any more.
Ballard was also disgusted.
"Shut up. Martha is not so calculating as you."
"Oh, now you all have picked her side? Who takes care of you for so many years? Who cooks delicious
food for you everyday and makes your stomach feel good? It's me! It's me, Bella! I've been waiting on
you. But in the end, you still think Martha is better, don't you? Let me tell you, Ballard. Do you think that
Martha will become a family with you if you please her now? That's impossible! She is a scheming
woman. When she found out that we were together, she might have started to pretend to be crazy. She
didn't divorce you and holds her title of Mrs. Louis. She made it impossible for me to get married with
you, but now she came out and said that she is sane. Who can believe that? If you hadn't pretended to
be crazy for so many years, you would have died long ago! With the medicine that the nurse has given
you, it's impossible for you to live to this day!"
Bella shouted like crazy.
Tim was really angry. He stepped forward to kick her, but somebody stopped him.
"Jacob, what are you doing? If you want a fight, I will give you one!"
Tim stared at Jacob fiercely.
Jacob looked at him and said coldly, "Bella did something unforgivable, and you can hate her. But don't
harm her in front of me. After all, she gave me life. She is my mother!"
"What? You'll have a fight with me for her?"
Tim didn't care what Jacob wanted to do. Right now, he just hated Bella so much that he wanted to
beat her up.
If it wasn't for the crime Bella had committed, Maia wouldn't have died. If it wasn't for the crime Bella
had committed, Martha wouldn't have been poisoned. Now one of his two closest people died, and the
other was poisoned. How could he forgive Bella?
Jacob also knew that what Bella had done were too unforgivable. But he was Bella's son, and it was
impossible for him to watch Tim beating his mother in front of him.
"You know I'm her son. There's nothing I can do. If you insist on having a fight, I have no objections.
Let's go out and do that."
"Let's go! I'm not afraid of you!"
Tim looked like he really wanted to have a fight, but Martha stopped him.
"Tim, stop it. Jacob didn't do anything wrong. You shouldn't vent your anger on him."
"Mom, do you know what she has done? Why are you still trying to protect them?"
Tim was indignant.
Martha said in a low voice, "There're laws, right? We live in a society with rule of law, and we don't
really have to beat others up."
"Stop pretending. I'm telling you, Martha! I don't appreciate it!"
Bella continued to shout.
Ballard couldn't bear to watch it any longer.
"Shut up! You've cuckolded me for so many years. Why do you still have the cheek to shout in front of
me now?"
"I cuckolded you? Didn't you like it? Otherwise, why did you abandon your beautiful wife at home and
make me your mistress? Ballard, are you feeling you're a gentleman now? In Martha's eyes, you are
just a jerk. You think you can fix the father-son relationship between you and Tim? That's impossible!
I'm telling you! How did you treat Tim all these years when I spoke ill of him? Do you really think he'll
forgive you?"
Hearing Bella's words, Ballard immediately looked at Tim guiltily. Unfortunately, Tim did not look at him
at all, which made him feel even more uncertain.
Nicole had been paying attention to Bella all the time. When she saw that Bella was secretly trying to
move towards the door after saying all those words, she couldn't help but sneer, "Bella, do you really
think that you can run out of here under so many people's noses? Oh, I forgot to tell you that
bodyguards of the Green family and the Louis family have surrounded here outside the room. If you
think that's not enough, I can ask bodyguards of the Don family to come here as well."
Bella's face immediately turned pale.
"Nicole, is that really necessary? Your aunt has won at last. Do you have to do this to me? Besides,
didn't you also find Maia annoying? Why are you standing up for her now?"
"I'm not standing up for her. It's just I have promised her something before she died. Bella, God is
watching your every move. Don't you worry about karma and the final judgement?"
Nicole's words made Bella shiver involuntarily.
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm telling you. I'm not scared! I'm not scared!"
"That's great. I wish you a good night tonight."
Nicole was still smiling, but Bella felt that Nicole's smile made her blood freeze.
