381 Failed for A Hundred Years

Ever since Edwin personally taught her how to do business, she had been very confident and cautious in every step. The cooperation with Star International was the same. She had been very cautious, but she did not expect that she still fell into a trap.

Bella bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying out. She was so guilty that she said, "I'm too stupid that I made trouble again for you."

Steven took her hand, the deep cold made him sad and regretful. He shouldn't have had spoken out his doubts so quickly, at least he should tell her after it was confirmed.

Now, she was scared so much.

Steven touched her head and said softly, "Okay, stop crying first. I don't know what the situation is yet. It is not impossible for a company to adjust its top management in two or three months.”

Bella shook her head, "I am too careless. Companies like Star International will have a public press if they really adjust their top management. I'm so careless."

For this point, Steven couldn’t find a word to comfort her, but Martin's appearance this time was really so unexpected.

Charles changed his clothes well, but Bella didn’t come back yet, then he came to Steven's room to find her.

The door of the bedroom was open. When he walked to the door, he saw Steven holding Bella’s hand and two heads leaning close together. Although they didn’t really touch each other, at that moment, a stream of evil fire just rose from the bottom of his feet to the heart, burning in flames.

But now he dared not be angry, because he was afraid that his anger would cause Bella to get angry with him.

"Bell, why are you still here? Dad is waiting for you to have dinner together." Charles pressed his anger to the bedside and went directly to pull Bella’s hand that Steven was holding in his hand.

As soon as he bowed his head, he saw Bella’s eyes were full of tears. His heart was twitched fiercely, he totally forgot his anger and pulled her into his arms, letting her small face buried in his body, carefully arranging her hairs, tempted to ask, "Bell, what's wrong? What happened?"

His blue eyes swept Steven's face, asking coldly. "If someone dares to bully you, I will let him go to hell."

Steven pouted his lips. "Hmmm, don't look at me like that. It's not me."

Then he told him about Martin.

After hearing it, Charles was relieved, but eventually Bella cried out wrongly, "Charles, am I particularly stupid? How could I still be deceived? How can I...?”

She didn't cry for she was cheated, because her stupidity involved people who believed in her.

"You are not deceived." Charles said, "I have read the contract and the signature, there is no problem."

He was there when Bella signed the contract with Martin. If Bella were cheated by Martin in front of him, then his existence as her husband would have been meaningless.

Bella finally stopped crying and looked up at him. She asked piteously, "Are you sure that there is really no problem? But brother said that the president of Star International is not Martin at all.

Charles stroked her face, and his movements were very gentle, but his eyes were cold. "So, why will this happen? I'm afraid there are some unknown stories about Star International.”

Steven murmured for a moment. "Do you think it's Cather's tricks?"

"I am not sure yet, but it will be known in a while whether it's them or not." Charles's eyes glimmered with cunning light.

Bella looked at him in surprise. "Star International is a clothing group. Cather works in biochemical filed. Will there be any connection between them?"

"There will only be two kinds of connections, one is that Star International has always been Cather’s property, and the other is that Cather has taken it over now. The latter is more possible from the current situation.” Charles said, "Otherwise, they will not change the president temporarily."

Charles's clear mind swept the haze in Bella’s heart.

Suddenly she looked at him with some adoration. "When did you begin to suspect that Star International was related to Cather?"

Charles said easily, "From the moment they sent Martin here."

If he was not alarmed if his love rivals appeared, then he must have lived for two hundred years in vain. However, he enjoyed Bella’s light a lot now.

Of course, he wouldn't forget the scene that Steven was pulling Bella’s hands just now.

Charles pulled Bella’s hands and reminded her, "Dad is waiting for us to eat, Bell."

"Oh, yes." Bella immediately stood up and spit out her tongue at Steven. "Brother, I'll go to eat first, and then come back to accompany you after dinner."

She was too fragile just now and almost collapsed because Steven came up with some doubts.

Steven understood her thoughts and smiled, "I am too thoughtless, Bell, don’t be affected by this. You did a great job.

After going to Steven's room, Bella’s heart was always difficult to calm down. Her response was too bad just now. In fact, Steven only said that the president of Star International was Joseph.

Her emotion was out of control just only because of this remark, maybe her ability was really not good enough.

During the meal, Bella said to Edwin, "Dad, I was wondering if I should start from the basic level of the company first. I don't think I have the ability to manage the whole company well yet.

She told Edwin what had just happened without concealment. "I'm not strong enough," she said.

Edwin laughed, "The reason why you feel sad is that you feel that you have failed my trust in you. But Bell, not to mention that you are really not deceived this time. Even you are really cheated, so what? Do you think your brother and I have never been deceived? Why there is a word called that failure is the mother of success? Because there are too many obstacles in life, if you experience a variety of obstacles earlier, you fall, you get injured, later even you will still encounter various kinds of barriers, you will find that there are many barriers you have met before. Bell, I want to tell you that we are not afraid of failure, what matters is the lesson of failure. We've grown up from the failures over and over again."

Edwin looked at Charles. “Do you think William’s Group has been successful overnight? Over the past two hundred years, what William’s Group has experienced must be more than deception, conspiracy, failure. You can see that William’s Group is now strong, it’s all because the failure that the lord has suffered is more than you and I can't imagine.”

Edwin looked at Charles and asked gently, "The lord, am I right?"

Charles was rebelling strongly in his heart. Of course, he had not experienced any failure. But now in order to make Bella more confident, Charles still openly admitted his incompetence, "Yes. I've been failing for almost a hundred years. Although there are wars and other reasons, I have experienced all kinds of failures anyway.”
