Chapter 280 A Stormy Day

Bella quickly remembered which project he was talking about. A gold mine in South Africa which had always been controlled by terrorists. The terrorists were suppressed previously, then the government would bid it for the world.

After she worked in William’s Group, she participated in several meetings, one of which specifically discussed this case.

Since Charles targeted on it, he would definitely do it.

The government didn’t have much manpower and resources to open the mines. The mine was now equivalent to a wild mine. Some local people who were not afraid of death would use the very simple equipment to dig gold for the money.

Susan said that according to the news sent back there, several people had entered there. The war in that country had just ended and they don’t care about these things. They just let them hurry in if they went in and dug out the mines and they would naturally come out.

Because the project had just been bid, without the lord’s permission, the equipment and technicians simply did not dare to move.

Susan was really in a hurry, looked at Bella and Shirley. "This is the biggest project in our group this year. Please, help me to contact the lord. Otherwise, we will really lose a lot. If some people died inside, it’s our responsibility again.”

Shirley’s attitude was still very determined. “The lord’s phone is turned off, we can’t contact him.”

“Can’t you contact Mr. Whitman?” Susan asked. “Mr. Whitman also knows the whole project.”

Charles and Ziv both went to save Carl, how could they have time to deal with the business of the company.

Bella gritted her teeth and said. "I will sign."

Shirley's eyes widened. "Although you are the lady, there is more than three billion dollars involved and the entire project team. What if there is something wrong?"

Susan said, "This project has already been agreed by the lord. The secretarial pool must have some backup documents between our team and the government and the Lord's signature. This project is in progress. You can check it."

The people over there only cared about money instead of life, if the mine really fell into their pockets, would they spit them out again?

Bella replied, "I will sign. If there is any problem, I will be responsible for it."

She took the documents, read each treaty in the contract carefully, and signed her name.

Susan thanked her a lot and left, but Bella was nearly out of breath. She had checked each treaty in the contract, and there was no problem.

She was even sidelined more, the secretaries who were originally excluded from her became more exclusive to her.

From time to time, there would be some words coming to her ears, "The lady is really insane, she dared to sign a 30 billion dollars contract."

"What are you afraid of, that is her money, let alone 30 billion dollars, even it’s 100 billion dollars, it is none of our business."

During the whole morning, there were so many different kinds of gossips getting into her ears.

Bella didn’t care about them at all. She kept staring at her mobile phone and saw if Charles had sent her a message or not. She even sneaked to the toilet several times to call Roy and asked if Charles had gone home or not.

However, he didn’t come back.

Bella’s heart was almost hanging to her throat.

Charles couldn’t be caught, he wouldn’t. Charles would not be arrested for the experiment like the Wolverine, he wouldn’t.

Bella was sitting on the chair, her hands clasping together to beg the gods to bless Charles for countless times, begging for the safety of him. This was in exchange for the ridicule of her colleagues.

"You do need to pray the god, pray for the South African project goes on well, otherwise 30 billion dollars, how can you be responsible for that?" A colleague handed a report to her, "Hey, sign this document, I am also anxious."

Bella knew that she had just signed for Susan had stimulated everyone. Of course, she also knew why these people had known that she was the wife of Charles, but they were still deliberately against her again and again.

Because she was a lady that Charles didn’t love. The person who Charles loved was Katherine, everyone in the world knew it.

So usually she was very quiet, but now, she really couldn’t stand it anymore.

She had no patience to stand more.

She directly looked at Shirley. "Shirley, what do you think?"

In the morning, why did the gossiping voices always fall into her ears? It was just because Shirley didn’t do anything to stop them.

Shirley noticed her anger and immediately said to the colleague, "No matter how urgent the document is, it should wait to be signed until the Lord returns."

The colleague wanted to say something more. Shirley had already handed some documents over and winked at her. "Isn’t there any other work to do?"

Shirley especially apologized to Bella. "Sorry, the lady, I am too busy this morning, so I didn’t take good care of the office, I am sorry."

Shirley was good at seeing people’s expression, although Bella signed the document really made her uncomfortable, and she acquiesced to those colleagues who were gossiping this thing. But now the Bella was obviously angry, and she would better stop it right now.

Before the time to get off work in the noon, Bella received a phone call from the hospital saying that Dora's mood was very unstable, who was struggling to leave the hospital.

Bella could not wait for the noon, and asked for leave to Shirley, directly carrying a bag to the hospital.

In the restaurant near the hospital, Bella bought some food and brought it to Dora.

As soon as she entered the door of the ward, she heard Dora’s heartbreaking cry.

Bella was frightened. She had never seen Dora crying a few times since she was a child. Like this sad cry, she only saw it when Dora’s parents passed away.

She quickly entered in and saw Dora sitting on the bed and crying.

The bandage on her face had been removed, but her hand hadn’t. Bella could see that the white gauze was dyed wet by the tears.

"Dora, what's wrong?" Bella asked softly, but she vaguely knew why.

Dora finally looked up, her face was only slightly red and swollen, it didn't seem to be a big problem.

Bella then relieved.

Dora’s eyes straightly looked at her and asked, “Bella, are we, good sisters?”

Bella nodded without hesitation, "Yes."

"Did we say that we have no secrets between each other?" Dora asked.

"Yes."

Dora sneered, "But have you lied to me again and again?"

Bella opened her mouth and was about to explain. Dora directly interrupted her and went on, "Tell me, you have hidden the fact that you are married to the lord, haven’t you?"

Bella lowered her head, "Yes. But I didn't tell you because there is a reason."

Because Charles and she got married, just in order to let her surrogate identity legal.

Dora did not let her go any further and then asked, "Have you already found your biological parents, Edwin is actually your brother. You are not the daughter of Aunt Bess, you are actually Miss. Beck, you are Bella Beck, aren’t you?"

Bella noticed the seriousness of Dora and said quickly, "That is because my mother has not woken up yet, I don't remember the past..."

"Okay, Bell, I will ask you the last question."
