Chapter 745 Against the Rule
He was surprised.
When he left just now, Bella was dining in the building on the other side. How come she was right here
now?
Felix was still in the study, and he couldn’t let her go in! Thinking of that, Donald quickly walked over.
Bella, however, was totally confused.
The maid just told her Felix was in the study upstairs, but didn’t say which room was the study.
After she got upstairs, she found there were too many rooms. Every one of them was closed. She had
no idea which one was the study.
Left with no choice, she had to look for it one by one.
But she didn’t dare to make noises, which was impolite. So she had to push each door open a little
before giving a glance inside.
As a result, she indeed seemed to be sneaking around in other people’s eyes.
When Donald walked over, she just put the tray on the ground. With her whole body pressed on a door,
she turned the doorknob to look inside.
Unfortunately, it was an undercoated guest room instead of the study she was looking for.
In disappointment, she closed the door, picked up the tray, and turned around to leave.
Unexpectedly, she knocked against someone.
Bella was scared and was about to scream subconsciously. But the second she opened her mouth,
Donald covered her mouth with his hand at once.
“Miss Collins, what are you doing here?” Donald pulled her aside. He removed his hand from her
mouth, then asked her.
Bella was very displeased with the way he was treating her.
But he was the butler and she was just an unimportant guest. She had to swallow her anger.
Secretly, she held a grudge against him. One day when she became Mrs. Bissel, the hostess of this
castle, she would let him pay for what he had done to her today.
Thinking of that, she said gently and seemed very polite, “Donald, I came to see Mr. Bissel.”
Donald frowned.
“What for, Miss Collins?”
Bella smiled and showed him the tray in her hands. “Well, I was just enjoying my meal. And I suddenly
remembered that Mr. Bissel might still have an empty stomach. So I specially chose some delicious
food for him. Donald, is Mr. Bissel in the study?”
Donald was annoyed. “I told you he has dined in another room. Take it back. He doesn’t need your
food.”
He thought Bella would be scared away by his angry words.
But to his surprise, Bella didn’t take his words seriously at all.
“Donald, you’re not him. How could you know he doesn’t need it? It’s late and he’s still working. He
must be hungry. I have nothing else better to do. I think I should do something to thank him for saving
me.”
After that, she tried to walk ahead and leave Donald behind.
Donald was mad.
Without delay, he stopped her once more.
“Miss Collins, no one is allowed to enter the study. Please leave now.”
Bella gave him a glance.
She looked a little dissatisfied.
“Is it his order as well?”
“Of course,” replied Donald in a calm voice.
“But I didn’t hear it from him. Then this is not an order to me, but to you. You can obey by the rule, but I
don’t need to.”
She was smiling and said in a gentle tone, but sounded quite domineering.
Donald was surprised by her response.
All of a sudden, he didn’t know what to do.
Bella gave a glance at his back.
“That must be the study, right?” Her sight fell on the door he had just come out from. “Donald, relax, I’ll
leave right after I put down the food. Mr. Bissel must be hungry by now. Let me just serve him some
food.”
Once she finished, she stepped ahead, leaving Donald behind.
Seeing that, Donald got anxious.
He wanted to stop her, but Bella was well-prepared. She turned her body and easily got rid of him.
She was young and agile, while Donald had never encountered anything like this before. It was
impossible for him to stop her.
Before he could notice, she had already run away. When he came back to his senses and tried to stop
her again, she already reached the door of the study. Donald was frightened but had to catch up.
“Miss Collins, stop! Stop!”
He shouted behind, but Bella wouldn’t listen.
She raised her hand and pushed the door fully open.
In the study, Felix was talking over the phone standing in front of a French window with his back to the
door.
Hearing the sound, he turned around and saw Bella.
She put on a beige dress today, which she carefully selected from the closet when she was resting in
the guest room before dinner.
After all, she was born into a rich family. Her parents gave her the best they could afford. And she
never lacked luxuries.
During this time, she had suffered a lot outside, living a homeless life. She missed her good old days
very much.
If her father wouldn’t force her to marry an old man, she would have gone home long ago.
She didn’t want to give up her life, so she was still trying to be independent. But she wouldn’t miss the
luxuries prepared for her.
In addition, she already had a plan. She believed it was perfect.
Felix was a member of the Bissel family, which was one of the four major families in their country. He
was also the most supported heir of it. It was very likely that he would take over the whole Bissel Group
in the future.
Compared with the wealth he would inherit, her father’s business was merely nothing.
If she could marry him and go back home with him, she wouldn’t be forced to marry that old man. Her
father would be proud of her too.
In the old days, Bella only sought romance.
She used to believe romance was everything a woman ever needed.
But after what she had suffered, she realized romance was completely bullshit without a wealthy life.
The man she had truly loved betrayed her in the end.
She couldn’t stand the humiliation. She was determined to pay him back.
But she got nothing to revenge on him now.
Given the current situation, if she dared to go home, her father would catch her. She didn’t think he
would believe what she had been through. He would probably think she simply refused to marry an old
guy so she lied.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
