Dump My Ex, Dive into Love with His Billionaire Uncle-Chapter 99 - They Play the Game She is the Game

The words were filled with extreme sarcasm.

Bella Woods had already removed her dress.

She walked over, picked up the clothes she initially had on, a white T-shirt and jeans, and changed into canvas shoes.

Her hair was tied up high.

Her whole image no longer looked like a refined little lady, just a very ordinary, pure university student.

But this was also Bella Woods’ original appearance.

Bella Woods nodded at Calvin Marshall: “Miss Marshall, in the future, we might never meet again.”

“No, Bella…”

Bella Woods’ hand on the door handle paused, without looking back: “Miss Marshall, it’s better not to call me ‘Little Bella’ in the future… It feels like a reminder of my stupidity.”

Every ‘Little Bella’ was a reminder that she was a fool.

Someone said it was “the misty clouds, the brightness of the dawn,” and she took it seriously, thinking it was something special.

Now thinking back, from beginning to end, she was a complete fool.

Four years ago, Oliver Hughes walked towards her in a gentle breeze, a mere ‘Bella sister,’ she was deeply entranced.

Four years later, Ashton Marshall said “the misty clouds, the brightness of the dawn,” and she was once again deeply entranced.

Ha.

She really couldn’t change her nature, being infatuated with love, repeatedly believing in men.

Truly foolish.

If they didn’t play with her, who would they play with?

If she wasn’t the game, who would be more suitable?

Bella Woods snickered, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, straightened her back, and walked out of the room.

As the door closed, Bella Woods silently walked down the long corridor.

Passing by the side door of the banquet hall, she could still hear the sounds of laughter and conversation inside.

A slight glance, the scene of the banquet hall, resplendent lights and guests enjoying themselves, no one mentioned anything about the earlier farce, like a scene quickly passing by in a doubled-speed movie.

No one cared at all.

Bella Woods left the hotel, walking down the street.

The people passing by, the cars driving past, all proclaimed this city’s bustling luxury.

Leaving her the only one, out of place with this city’s prosperity, out of place with this city’s luxury.

She finally stopped by the bridge; the lights by the bridge cast down, and specific ferries carried batch after batch of tourists repetitively across the river.

Cool breeze blew intermittently.

The elastic band holding Bella Woods’ hair suddenly loosened, and her tied black long hair seemed to get freedom, interacting with the passing cool breeze.

“Bella Woods.”

Suddenly someone called out.

Upon hearing her name, Bella Woods instinctively turned her head towards the source of the voice, and saw someone holding a camera, quickly pressing the shutter.

Bella Woods frowned, the person put down the camera, revealing a familiar face.

Especially the gray eyes and peach blossom eyes, too distinctive.

Ethan Marshall.

Ashton Marshall’s half-brother and the Marshall Family’s fourth, but not acknowledged due to being an illegitimate child, calling him the fourth was always meant to mock.

Bella Woods had seen him once before, at a racetrack.

Back then, Oliver Hughes wanted to use her as a bet for car racing.

“Sorry, I was photographing over here, saw you standing there, so I just…” Ethan Marshall lifted his camera-holding hand: “But, I’ll return the photo to you once it’s developed.”

“It’s just a photo.” Bella Woods didn’t mind, her gaze returning to the river.

Ethan Marshall held the camera with both hands, moving closer to Bella Woods’ side: “I heard, today… you’re engaged?”

“Yeah.” Bella Woods replied indifferently: “But it didn’t happen, it became a Hughes family appreciation banquet. At the engagement banquet, it was also announced that there will be no marriage contract between Oliver Hughes and me.”

Ashton Marshall said, never again!

No wonder, as Oliver Hughes’ fiancée, she had slept with his uncle, time after time.

Anyone couldn’t accept such an engagement.

“Oliver, he’s too proud. Being with him would be too aggrieving.” Ethan Marshall said lightly, “Canceling the engagement with Oliver Hughes, your parents should give you trouble.”

Bella Woods had been staring at the river, casually chatting with Ethan Marshall.

But hearing this sentence, Bella Woods suddenly laughed, turning her face to Ethan Marshall, and pointing at her own face.

The slap mark was still there.

“Did they give you a hard time?” Ethan Marshall frowned, his peach blossom eyes staring at Bella Woods with a sense of hurt.

Those eyes were too enchanting; if Bella Woods hadn’t studied painting and observed that some people’s eyes naturally carried affection, she would’ve thought Ethan Marshall liked her.

So he looked at her with such affectionate and distressed eyes.

“They merely said a few unpleasant things or slapped me a couple of times, it’s nothing.” Bella Woods looked away.

If the cooperation with the Hughes Family is gone, Ron Woods and Jade Patel will go crazy.

But since the cooperation is still there, they just feel the benefits are not as boundless as Bella Woods being bound by marriage to the Hughes Family, so they throw tantrums.

Furthermore, Ron Woods and Jade Patel had the idea of wanting Bella Woods to help connect between the Third Young Master Marshall and Rose Woods, so they wouldn’t do anything to Bella Woods.

“Do you like photography a lot?” Bella Woods didn’t want to say more on these matters, so she changed the topic casually.

Mentioning photography, Ethan Marshall immediately smiled and lifted his camera: “Yeah, my only goal is to carry this camera and photograph the world, the different emotions and backgrounds of people.”

“I remember over at the Marshall Family…” At this point, Bella Woods held back.

Regarding the Marshall Family situation, she had heard a lot while at the Hughes Family, about Ethan Marshall’s story as an illegitimate child.

It’s said that back then, Ashton Marshall and Cyan Marshall’s mother unexpectedly passed away, and her shares in the Marshall Clan Group became the cake everyone fought over; Cyan Marshall was already married, and Ashton was alone, the Old Master intended to support Ethan Marshall.

Seeing Ashton about to be kicked out, Ashton managed to reverse the situation at the board meeting, suppressing the Old Master and ousting Ethan Marshall.

Since then, the Marshall Clan Group has been in a constant power struggle between Ashton Marshall and the Old Master Marshall, and Ethan Marshall is the one the Old Master wants to support to ascend in rank with all his heart.

To know is to know, but it is not suitable to bring up this topic in front of the concerned person.

“Sorry.” Bella Woods apologized.

Ethan Marshall suddenly leaned closer to Bella Woods: “It doesn’t matter. Regarding the Marshall Family, I have a secret with the Third Master; want to hear it?”
