"What are you laughing at? Nicole, stop the nonsense. I did nothing! I didn't do it! It has nothing to do
with me!"
Nicole did not refute. She just looked at Bella with a smile on her face.
Bella suddenly felt a little cold.
She touched her arms and subconsciously looked around. Seeing her guilty look, people reacted
differently.
"That's it. Bella, I don't want to talk about what you have done to me anymore. Tell the police about it. I
don't want to see you anymore. Your things are packed up. Remember to bring that when you leave."
Martha spoke like the owner of the house. Bella found it hard to accept.
"I have worked for this family for nearly twenty years. How could you behave like the owner of the
house and talk to me that way?"
"She is my wife and the real Mrs. Louis! That's why!"
Ballard's words instantly angered Bella.
"Ballard, that's not what you said when you slept on the same bed with me! You scum! It's all you! If
you have given me the title of Mrs. Louis, Martha will be no one now! These years, I've given so much
to your family, but in the end, I get nothing! I won't submit to such treatment!"
As she spoke, Bella pounced towards Ballard.
Jacob frowned and stopped Bella in time.
"Mom, that's enough! Wake up, okay? Can you stop behaving like a clown? Cornell is my real father,
but you brought me to the Louis family. You don't feel shameful! But have you ever considered my
feelings? What am I to you? Other children are loved and spoiled by their parents, but me? Since you
don't love me, why did you give birth to me? Why?"
Jacob had a breakdown.
Although he was strong-minded, what happened just now made him unable to stay calm.
Seeing Jacob's red eyes, for a moment, Bella didn't know what to say.
"Jacob, mom loves you! Mom did all this because of you. The Louis family is very rich. Mom has lived a
poor life since young. I don't want you to suffer from what I have experienced. If it wasn't for this, I won't
let Cornell throw you away! You are my child! You have been in my belly for nearly ten months! You are
my flesh and blood!"
Bella's words made Jacob feel sad.
"Money! Money! Money! All you see is money! To get money, you abandoned all the ethics and morals.
You abandoned your son. The Louis family is rich? You think the Louis family is rich? If you're short of
money, tell me and I'll give it to you! These years, I followed Mr. Vincent and invested in several venture
capital companies. I also dabbled in other areas, such as gold and new energy. Tell you the truth, the
Louis Family doesn't necessarily have more money than me! If you need money, just tell me. We can
earn money by our hands! Why did you have to step on such a wrong path? Why must someone die?
Which is more important, money or a life?"
Jacob roared, tears blurring his eyes.
If it weren't for Jacob, Nicole wouldn't have talked so much with Bella. Because Samuel didn't want to
lose Jacob, she slowed the pace.
Hearing Jacob's shouting, Bella immediately asked, "Jacob, are you telling the truth? You are rich? You
are even richer than the Louis family?"
"Yeah, I can give you everything you need, but what are you doing now?"
"Forget what I'm doing. Son, since you're so rich, hurry up and get a good lawyer for mom. Mom can't
go to jail. I am not young anymore. If I am sent to jail, I'll die inside!"
Bella held Jacob's arm tightly.
Jacob was really disappointed.
At this time, Bella still showed no regret for what she had done.
Why did he have such a mother?
Looking at Bella's eager look, Jacob pulled her fingers off his arm one by one. Then, he said coldly,
"Mom, you are no longer a child. When you decided to harm others, you should know God forbids that
and you'll be punished. You must pay for what you have done."
"Are you my son or not? Your mother is going to jail. How can you do this to me? Jacob, please find a
lawyer for me. Be quick! Besides, I raised Maia. I spent so much money on her! I can charge some
interest from her!"
"That interest is her life? You're really scary!"
Jacob's words were extremely cold, but in fact, he was extremely painful in the heart.
Bella pushed him away.
"You are a bad son! An unfilial son! If I had known you would be like this, I would have strangled you!"
Hearing Bella's cruel words, Jacob was full of sorrow.
"Mrs. Green, let the police in."
Jacob closed his eyes exhaustedly and said to Nicole.
"Okay."
Nicole nodded.
The police had been here for a long time, but because they needed to talk, the bodyguards of the
Green family stopped the police. The police were staying outside.
Hearing Jacob's words, Nicole knew he had made a choice.
When Bella heard that Jacob was going to call the police to arrest her, she became furious.
"I'm not going to jail! I'm not going to jail! Jacob, you coward, you coward! Are you going to watch your
mother be brought to jail and do nothing?"
Jacob didn't look at Bella. He didn't know how to face her.
Bella continued shouting. The police pushed open the door and entered.
"Ms. Bella Miller, please come with us. We need you to cooperate with the investigation!"
"What investigation? I won't go with you! I have done nothing wrong! Don't touch me! Don't touch me!"
Bella screamed and struggled, but she couldn't escape from the police. In the end, she was taken
away.
Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Martha coughed, "This matter is over. Ballard, I have
something to tell you. That's also why I came back. Since everyone is here, I'll just say it."
"Stop talking. You are still weak. I'll let Tim take you upstairs to have a rest."
Ballard hurriedly stopped Martha.
However, Martha didn't listen to Ballard. She looked at him and said word by word, "Ballard, running
away is never the solution to the problem. For so many years, I have been living in a blur. That's why
my son has to shoulder too much at a young age. In my life, I owe you nothing. But I owe so much to
my son. After all these years, I'm so tired. Let's divorce."
When Martha said these words, she felt relieved.
It turned out that it was so easy to end a marriage without love.
Why hadn't she thought this through in so many years?
When Ballard heard that Martha was going to divorce him, he subconsciously shook his head.
"I won't divorce. Martha, I know I was wrong. I've neglected you for so many years, but think about how
happy we used to be! Believe me, I love you. Bella is right, I've always kept the title of Mrs. Louis for
you. Other than you, I don't want to give anybody else this title."
"That's useless! People call Bella Mrs. Louis anyway! Aren't you ashamed of those words?"
Before Martha said anything to Ballard, Tim said this.
Seeing that Tim despise him this much, Ballard felt extremely upset.
Once, his son was really close to him. Since when did they go to two extremes and never come back?
Ballard looked at Tim in pain and said, "It's said that keeping a couple is better than separating them.
Tim, I'm your father, your real father."
"You don't have to stress that. If you weren't my father, you would have been beaten to death by me. I
have grown up and can survive on my own. I won't participate in your divorce. I only want my mother to
be happy."
Hearing Tim's words, Martha instantly held Tim's hand and said with relief, "Thank you, Tim, your
company is making my life colorful."
"What are you saying, mom? You're my mom. I will naturally protect you."
Martha's eyes flash with tears when she heard his words.
She placed the divorce papers in front of Ballard and whispered, "I didn't bring anything when I married
you, and I don't want to get anything in divorce, either. Ballard, we've been pestering each other for half
our lives. I'm tired. I only want to have some peaceful days with Tim."
"I won't divorce you. I didn't get divorced when I cheated on you, and I won't get divorced now. Besides,
your health is like this. I won't get divorced."
Seeing Ballard's insistence, Martha sighed, "To be honest, because of Bella, I have forgotten how
much I once loved you. I remember the warmth and love you once gave to me. I remember when my
mother passed away, it was you who sheltered me from the wind and rain. It was you who encouraged
me to go on with my life. At that time, you were my Prince Charming and my beloved. But why did you
change? Within a few years, our passions faded. You began to socialize and cheat on me. You didn't
care about our son at all. Back then, I didn't know how to get you back. I could only put up with
everything to satisfy you. I hoped you would return to your family for the sake of your child and this
family. I should have known that such a love can't be called a love at all. But unfortunately, I didn't know
that. I know you didn't divorce me because you think I was crazy. Right now, I'm poisoned. I won't even
be able to live long. I know it's even more impossible for you to agree to a divorce. But Ballard, I just
want to tell you that I do not want to be buried in your family's graveyard after death. And I will never
change my thought."
"Martha, do you hate me this much? I just made a mistake that all men will make. Are you telling me
you won't forgive me even if you die?"
"No, because I'm obsessed with cleanliness. You are so dirty. I can't accept you no matter physically or
spiritually."
Martha's words directly hit Ballard.
"If you have a bit of pity for me and a bit of kindness, please sign the divorce papers for the sake of our
previous love. Thank you for that."
Martha looked straight at Ballard. Marta's watery eyes that had once moved Ballad's heart were now
filled with a trace of oppression, making Ballad somewhat unable to look straight at
them.
