CHAPTER 78: HE KNOWS
Bella was on the verge of tears! She had witnessed the fate of both Maddi and Lora. Even if she coveted wealth and status, she didn't want to spend the rest of her life in prison.
Bella was completely panicked and, after telling her mother, she rushed up the stairs to pack her things, dragging her dress behind her.
"Wait, Bella, come back here!" Ella was not Bella, she was more cunning and felt that there was something fishy about the situation.
Ella forced her daughter to sit down on the sofa and calm down. "Bella, listen to me carefully, this can't be exposed! You need to calm down and remember that Master Li's assistant found you through that ring. Sky didn't have the real ring, so how did he prove his identity to Dray?"
"The ring...the ring..." Bella heard Ella's words and became even more frightened.
"Just now, at the Li family banquet, Sky suddenly appeared and asked me for the real ring. Mom, Sky already knows, he knows that I gave him a fake ring. He asked me to pay him two hundred thousand and return the real ring!"
Seeing her daughter's panicked expression, Ella grasped the key point. "She asked you for the ring at the Li family banquet? What about Master Li? Does he know? What did he say?"
"Master Li...Master Lee knows too. He even kicked Sky out..."
Bella was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
"No, Master Li seems to be unaware. He... he was still defending me at the banquet, introducing me as his girlfriend to everyone. When Madam Li wanted to kick Sky out, Master Li not only didn't stop her, but also had his men do it," Bella said, feeling less anxious as she spoke.
Things didn't seem as bad as she had thought. If Dray had discovered the truth, he wouldn't have defended her at the banquet and introduced her as his girlfriend.
"That's right!" Ella said confidently. "Master Li definitely doesn't suspect you!"
"If Master Li really suspected something, with his personality, how could he introduce your identity in front of everyone? It seems that it was just that little bitch Sky who found out that the ring we gave him was fake," Ella continued.
Bella breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she had been too naive and easily deceived.
"But... but if that's the case, how could Master Li have taken Sky into the elevator after the banquet?" Bella hesitated before speaking.
"What!?" Ella suddenly widened her eyes. "What did you say? Master Li took Sky into the elevator? Are you sure you didn't mistake someone else for him?"
"I'm sure!" Bella nodded fiercely, her eyes full of resentment and hatred. "That little bitch Sky wasn't even wearing clothes, wrapped in Master Li's suit jacket and lying in his arms. I saw Master Li carry him into the elevator! He looked like he had been slept with by a man!"
Bella went on to say some unspeakable things.
The more she listened to her daughter's description, the more unpleasant Ella's expression became.
"Mom, am I done for this time? What should I do? Master Li didn't even touch me, but that little slut Sky managed to seduce him. Now I'm sure I won't be able to keep my position as Li family's Young Madam... I don't want to, I don't want to be stepped on by Sky again!"
"No, don't panic," Ella reassured her. "I don't think this matter is that simple."
She didn't believe that Dray would react like this after discovering the truth. There must be something strange going on.
"You wait, let's find a chance to test whether Sky knows that the man that night was Master Li. And you need to speed up your side too. Whether Master Li knows the truth or not, we have to pin him down! Since the Li family's patriarch values his heirs the most, and from what your mother said, we must find a way to..."
Ella leaned in close to Bella's ear.
After hearing Ella's words, the surprised and fearful expression on Bella's face gradually turned into a determined one.
The next morning, when Sky woke up again, he was already wearing a clean light blue home outfit. His ankle injury had improved significantly after being treated with medicine. However, his lower back still felt a bit sore and uncomfortable.
Dray...
He remembered. Yesterday in the VIP room of the banquet hall, because he refused to beg for mercy.
He refused to cry and show weakness in front of Dray, which seemed to have thoroughly angered him.
