The Villain’s Redemption Chapter 236

Chapter 236 Speaker

"No! You are pregnant! How could she hurt you? Isn't this attempted murder?" Su Xieren immediately opened his phone and dialed the number of the police as Laney tried to stop him.

"How could we do that to Bella?" Laney started sobbing. "Husband… please don't mind it. I already told you. I just… I just slipped."

"Slipped? You just slipped?" Su Xieren hissed. "You were always protecting this woman! Even if you always end up getting hurt, you always say that it wasn't her fault! How could you still say this now that you are pregnant?"

Bella only smiled at the two people. Her eyes darted towards the Mayor and his wife's face, who just arrived to witness the drama.

"What happened?" Anabelle asked, frowning.

"Bella pushed Laney towards the floor." Su Xieren uttered as he glared at Bella. "Aunt, Uncle please give Laney some justice. She is already pregnant. How could we allow Bella to hurt her?"

"Mr. Su…" Mo Li lifted his gaze away from his wine as he held Bella's hand, playing with the ring on her hand. "You keep on saying that my wife hurt your wife. Did you see her do it?"

"This— This has nothing to do with you!"

"She is a Mo. She is my wife." Mo Li used a napkin and dabbed his lips. "Everything about her is my business." He glanced at Laney who was already staring at the ring on Bella's hand. "Miss Laney Qin, why would you tell your husband that my wife pushed you when she didn't?"

"How did you know that she didn't?" Su Xieren countered.

"Well… how did you know that she did?" Mo Li lifted an eyebrow. "Clearly, she was already out when Miss Qin screamed. And yet, you are here shouting about attempted murder?" Mo Li's voice was calm and warm. For some reason, it gave Bella some comfort, which was so weird considering they are currently in a tense atmosphere. "How about this… ah… Isn't this General Lin?" Mo Li looked at the older man sitting a few booths away from them. "I am sure someone who is working with the military could identify who is right or wrong." Confidence laced Mo Li's voice.

"There is no need for any of this." Mayor Qin uttered, he didn't hide the disappointment in his voice as he looked at Bella. "Xieren, please make sure the authorities would handle this fairly. This was not the first time that she hurt little Laney. We should be careful and file some restrictions to keep the baby safe."

"Mayor Qin," Bella met her father's eyes. "You seemed to sure that I was the one who pushed her. Without any proof and you were already showing such blatant favoritism towards someone from the Qin Family. Miss Laney was the one who instigated chaos and is framing me. And yet, you easily made it seem as if I was the guilty one." She made a deliberate paused and smiled at her father. "Is this how a mayor of the biggest city in this country should act?"

Charles Qin squinted at his daughter. To be honest, he was surprised to hear her speak like this to him. He thought about everything that happened in the past, and not once did Bella said something like this to him. She had begged, knelled, cried, but she never once said about his actions. "Mrs. Mo, please mind your language. We are in a public place." He reprimanded. By now, this chaos already gathered the attention of a lot of people.

And since most people who were on the second floor were members of the high society, most of them know Bella and Laney. But they were never aware of the affair. All they knew is the fact that Laney and Su Xieren got into a relationship a few months after Su Xieren and Bella's divorce.

"Public Place." Bella suddenly stood and grabbed her phone. Then she eyed the two policemen that were coming towards them. "Are you going to have them arrest me, your ex-daughter in a public place like this?" she lifted her chin as she stood a few feet away from her father.

"You committed a crime! Isn't it normal for the mayor to asked his people to arrest a criminal?" Su Xieren chimed in.

"Criminal?" Mo Li uttered. "You were to quick say the word. Good thing, I have General Lin here to act as a witness for this slanderous claims." Mo Li eyed the old general who was standing near him.

"Are you sure about that… ex-father?" Bella said, her gaze never once left the mayor's eyes. She wanted to see how deep would the mayor dig his own grave before she would bury him alive. A father who would choose his reputation more than his daughter's emotion is not a father. This Charles Qin was a scum.

"Bella!" Anabelle gasped in surprise. She stood next to the mayor, her eyes were already full of tears. Slowly, Bella turned towards the woman and stared at her dramatics. First, the Mayor then his wife, Bella thought inwardly before she scoffed and returned her gaze towards the mayor.

"The authorities are here, Mayor Qin. Are you going to order them to arrest me?" She knew that these people couldn't really arrest her. Not in front of everyone here.

"Apologize," The Mayor uttered coldly. "I would forgive you this time for hurting little Laney, but we would file some restraining order and make sure that you won't be able to approach them again. You are already a mature woman, Bella. You should know that I would always put my responsibility to this city. And in this city, your presence is dangerous."

Bella pursed her lips before she nodded. "Loud and Clear." She smirked. "I understand." She uttered before she went back to her seat and grabbed her handbag. Then she opened her bag and got herself a small speaker— something she started to carry after what happened with Amy.

It was an egg-shaped blue tooth speaker. She got this when she realized that she seemed to love the thought of recording her own conversations. Though this was lawfully illegal in some way, Bella thought that this would always save her the trouble. This would make her job in the world, easier. "Since you insist then, I would be forced to let you hear this." She smiled at the Mayor before pressing the play button of her phone.

"Would you trust me?" his voice was almost a whisper. It made her frown.

Trust? How could she trust someone she doesn't know? She didn't know if she had it in her heart to trust another person aside from herself. "Who are you?" she asked.

"I can't tell you."

She bit her lower lip. She could feel his breathing against her cheek, and it made her want to feel more of him, more of this madness. But was it even worth the risk? "Do you know me?" She couldn't help but wonder.

"You are mine, and I am yours. That's the only thing that you needed to know."
