Chapter 1154: This Fifty Million Is for Xylia Xandrell
"Is there anywhere else you’re feeling uncomfortable?"Mason looked worriedly at the pale-faced girl on the bed.
Bella Green was silent for a while and then shook her head.
"Just didn’t get enough rest."
Bella paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "Today’s issue didn’t trouble you, did it? I know fifty million is a huge amount, I’ll pay it back to you."
All along, Bella had never really drawn any boundaries with Mason Bennett.
Whatever Mason gave her, she could take it without any pressure.
But that fifty million was for Xylia Xandrell.
However, Mason was inwardly startled by her words, looking intently at Bella with his dark eyes, his thin lips tightly pursed.
Trying to see if there was anything unusual in Bella’s expression.
But there was nothing, absolutely nothing.
Bella was just acting naturally, as if unaware of anything.
Mason’s heart eased a little.
"Don’t think too much, what’s mine is yours, isn’t it?"
Upon hearing this, Bella grinned sweetly, then looked at the small clock nearby, her nose wrinkling.
"Wow, it’s so late, you should go back quickly, you have work tomorrow."
Mason tried again to discern something from Bella’s expression, but there was nothing to find.
"I’ll stay with you tonight." Mason still wasn’t at ease.
And to be honest, even he didn’t know what it was he was uneasy about.
Bella burst out laughing.
"So, are you going to put me in the headlines tomorrow? Alright, you should hurry back, Brother Li is here, he’ll take good care of me."
Of course, Mason also understood that doing this could easily have a negative impact on Bella.
He really hoped their relationship could be made public.
It felt like only then could he feel at ease.
But rationally, he knew he couldn’t do that.
Even if he could cover the sky with one hand, it was impossible to hide from so many eyes in the crew.
In the end, under Bella’s repeated assurances, Mason left.
Watching Mason’s car leave and finally disappear into the night.
The smile on Bella’s face had long vanished.
Her gaze was fixedly staring into the dark distance that no longer held any light.
When she drew back her gaze, intending to return, she found Louis Lawrence standing behind her without her knowing when.
Just looking straight at her.
"Big brother, don’t you know people can be scared to death?"
The sudden fright made Bella exclaim in annoyance.
Louis didn’t reply, but stepped toward her.
"The car’s gone, if you’re so reluctant, why didn’t you keep him? From the look of it, President Jiang really wanted to stay."
The words were still somewhat offhand, but there was less of that flippant tone.
"What’s it to you?" Bella shot him a glare, turning to leave.
Louis didn’t stop her, but spoke again in a leisurely tone.
"I thought you wouldn’t be so calm when you saw him."
Bella abruptly halted, quickly turning back with a puzzled look at Louis.
"What do you mean?"
Listening to the girl’s tense voice, Louis chuckled lightly, turning to look at her.
His body lazily leaned against the tree beside him, the smile on his lips somewhat indistinct.
The ambiguity made Bella even more anxious.
"Call me brother, and I’ll tell you."
Even though Bella already knew he was her brother.
However, she seldom called him that seriously, mostly using his name directly.
