Chapter 260 - Misunderstandings

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

First and foremost, this male lead is smart and cunning. But believing a letter is just a bit dense, no? Logic would say that he wouldn't settle for something like that. Is this the reason why the male and female lead in dramas would always have misunderstandings?

"I— " as expected, Gabriel lowered his head. "I am not in… I am just… I thought she really sent it. After all, she deleted all of our images on her socials and stopped responding to my messages. Then a few months after, they announced that she was already engaged to Daniel Rogers."

Bella facepalmed.

How could this be? Does this mean that this relationship was only destroyed because one was too scared to speak up while the other assumed wrongly? 'Hey Robot, can I pinch this male lead?' she silently asked the robot. These two really need pinching so they would wake up. "So, you are telling me that you hated Sarah because of a letter?"

"No. Not just a letter. The Qin Family also sent people to… send me to the hospital on the day that she flew out of the country. I broke some bones and wasn't able to walk for a few days. If she loved me then… why would she let her family… ahw! Why did you pinch me?"

Bella sneered. Really? REALLY? "Wake up! Did you think she had some power inside the Qin Family?" she asked, wondering if the man was truly dumb. "Sarah had no power inside the Qin Family. Just like everyone else, she was nothing but a pawn. If my guess is right, she also hated you for abandoning her when she felt so alone." These two people are really hopeless.

"How could you say that?"

"Just a guess." Bella shrugged. In the first place, the plot alone is enough for her to know that misunderstandings are bound to drown this couple. 'Robot, can I intervene? I mean the reincarnator is already making his move. It is best that we surprise him with something right?' This robot Is already upgraded, so Bella was hoping that she could now do something with the plot. After all, the Villain is reincarnated. He already started doing something to change his fate.

And if they don't want the Villain to succeed then Bella needed to intervene.

[Host can do everything as long as the male lead and female lead would have a happy ending.]

Seems like the robot love happy endings? Bella fought the urge to laugh out loud. Now that this peculiar system already gave her permission to do something, she wouldn't hesitate to help this male lead. "I have a proposition for you."

"Hm?" Gabriel immediately noticed the change in Bella's expression. "If you want me to— "

"I can't save Bella because I don't want to implicate my husband's name," she uttered. "However, I am very concerned so I thought you could help me. First I want to tell you that Sarah is… or might be experiencing some abuse." Bella grabbed his phone and open a new article. "This was the only article about this fight. Daniel was fast enough to pay the other media companies so they wouldn't spread the news about this fight. The people that he fought were already in prison. You can check their stories if you don't believe me."

"And?"

"Well… I was there that night. He got mad when they stared at Sarah and started a fight. Then… Then Sarah was injured."

"She was?"

Bella didn't miss the concern in Gabriel's eyes. "Of course, this wasn't included in the news. But I am sure you have the means to know the truth. On that night, we saw each other in a parking lot and we talked in that cafe. She was telling me how she envied me." Bella forced some tears out of her eyes. She immediately wiped it as a sad smile blossomed on her face. "I'm sorry… I just… you know… she doesn't even have the money to pay for her drinks. If my guess was right, Daniel was controlling her finances. That is some financial abuse right there. Moreover, it seems that Daniel is making her believe that no one else would love her if she left him. She must be thinking that you hate her so much."

"That— "

"You can, of course, confirm all this using a CCTV. Here are the date and time of this meeting. You will eventually see the truth once you go to that club and use your own connections to get the CCTV."

"But what is Daniel got the CCTV?"

"Nah, he was too confident." Daniel Rogers was always arrogant and being reincarnated and knowing the future made him more arrogant. "He would never think that you would try and obtain the CCTV."

For a few seconds, Gabriel turned silent as he lowered his gaze and stared at his hands— his useless hands. He could have used his skills to save Sarah but he didn't. Isn't that something that made him useless? Actually, Gabriel never thought that Sarah would be in this kind of situation. Sarah— the Sarah that he loved was always a happy and bubbly woman. She loved to dress up and makeup, she loved to paint, and is a very good singer, pianist, and dancer. However, she was always humble and is a very kind woman. She rarely gets mad and… she…

Seeing Gabriel in deep contemplation, Bella's lips lifted into a slight smile. "You know…" she let out a sigh. "Years ago, I was just like Sarah too. The Qin Family wanted me to follow their words. I can't even go to a place without bodyguards. That was when I realized that I don't want to live a life like this. Then, I discovered that I am not really my mother's daughter. I thought that was enough reason for me to let go of the Qin Family. So I left the mansion and that was when I met my ex-husband." A sad smile can be seen on her face. "At first, I thought it was all laughter and happiness. However, I seen realized that I was wrong. The Qin Family wanted the benefits that my ex-husband could give them. So they started inviting us to dinners and the naive me… well… I thought that was it."

Slowly, Bella frowned. "That was until I realized that he was cheating on me with my cousin just a year after our marriage. How funny was that? The person who joined out dinner would covet my own husband. Of course, I immediately wanted a divorce. However, the Qin Family threatened to kick me out of the family and erase my name in the family registry if I try to embarrass them. It took me a few months to decide and chose my mental peace more than my blood. In that case, my peace of mind is thicker than any blood relations that I have with the Qin Family."

"I— I didn't know that— "

"I know. No one did." She sigh. "They keep it as a secret and made it seem like I was the crazy one divorcing someone kind and close to my family. I ignored all this and just move to the island to have a peaceful life." Bella looked at Gabriel's complicated expression. While she was partly lying, about ninety percent of her story was actually true. And the lies that she included were small little things that anyone could easily forget. She only wanted the man to know how manipulative that Family was.

"You know…" Bella added as she met Gabriel's eyes. "My father valued his career so much that he doesn't want me to divorce my cheating husband. He doesn't want to have a divorced daughter who is still in her early twenties. To him, kicking me out is better than dealing with a scandal of being related to a divorced woman."

"I— I am so sorry. I actually didn't know that— "

"It's fine. This was nothing but a part of history. This was all in the past. There is no way that it would happen again. Moreover, I am no longer a Qin but a Mo." She smiled. "I just thought that you needed to hear my personal experience with the Qin Family for you to decide. You know Sarah was a very nice and kind woman. She would never try to deliberately hurt you. I am certain that the Qin Family is involved in that letter. They might have forced her to write that letter. We don't really know why she chose to write it. But we both know Sarah would never try to hurt someone that she loved… unlesss…" she made a deliberate pause.

"Unless what?"

"Unless they threatened her that they would kill you if she won't write the letter."

As expected Gabriel's eyes widened as veins on his head started to become apparent. That's right! There is no way that Sarah would deliberately hurt him. Unless of course, they made her chose. His death or the letter? Knowing Sarah, she would choose to write that letter than to see him dead!
