“So, I won’t cause you any trouble. I’ll only help you move forward.
It was the Mercer family that gave me everything I have today. I’ll help in any way I can.
As for the shares, don’t you worry. I’ll find the right time to hand them over.”
When Bella brought the topic back around, Brandon was convinced.
Bella was right. She owed her success to the Mercer family.
Her living expenses, her tuition—where did it all come from if not the Mercers?
Now it was time for her to repay them.
Brandon felt this was only natural.
His smile deepened.
“Bella, I nearly misunderstood you. I’m sorry, that was my fault.”
Bella replied, “Brandon, we’re family. Let’s not be so formal. I have a lot of work to get back to, so I’m going to head out.”
Bella barely ate any lunch.
It was simple, really. She couldn’t stomach it.
She had only just gotten her hands on the shares, and they were already demanding them back.
It just went to show, outsiders would always be outsiders.
She had never intended to give those shares back.
She had bought them with her own money.
Why would she hand them over to the Mercer family?
Give back something she had fought so hard to get?
In their dreams.
