chp 13: house demolition

Bella went home after the hospital when she saw some builders and heavy machinery outside her villa.

"Excuse me, what's going on?" She asked her neighbour.

"Oh, they are here to demolish this villa,"

Bella was stunned. She ran to a guy who seemed to be giving orders, " sir who sent you? This is my home. u can't demolish it, "

"Miss plz step aside, we r here on the orders by the owner."

"But i am the owner. Who snt u give me a name? "

"Mr. howell sent us"

"Dad did?" Bella was confused. "Wait, let me call and ask him,"

She called mr howell but he didn't pick up.

"Miss plz move aside, let us do our work,"

"Wait plz lemme go home and ask him there must be some kind of misunderstanding."

"Miss, are you his daughter, who is an actress?" Since bella always wore a mask when she stepped out of the house, the worker thought she was diana.

"No. I am his 2nd daughter. " they didn't seem to believe her. Bella was in crisis. So she had no choice

"Fine, how about this? You guys keep my car. Here are the keys. " she pointed to her red ferari. "And if i don't return within 3 hours, you guys can demolish the house and keep the car as well," my poor ferari bella cried silently.

"Sure, 3 hours, not a minute more. All these people are the witnesses"

"Ok," and bella ran away.

She took the cab and asked for howell residence.

In  the cab, she kept calling mr howell but no 1 picked up. She even called howell Residence and howell corp, but no answer was all she got. Suddenly she got a call she hurriedly picked up.

"Hello Bell," it was from melissa

" i forgot to tell you at the hospital, but dad called me a few days ago. He was asking about where you were living. He souded really angry and anxious as the howell corp hasn't been doing well 4 the past few days due to hunt and smith attacks. So just be careful. "

So that's what this was about . Bella understood immediately. " ok, got it, mel. See ya. "

She suddenly asked the driver, " To the hunt mansion," the driver looked baffled. " What are you looking at? Hurry up. i am on a tight schedule. "

At Hunt Residence, james had taken a shower after returning from the hospital when the maid came running and told him that bella was here.

"Who? Bella? Let her in. "

'Why is she here? Old man will start again.' he felt a headache

James went out of his room to greet her. Bella saw him bowed her head a little and ran past him to the living room where the old master was sitting. James raised his eyebrow and followed her.

She bowed again. " Old master hunt, i am so sorry to barge in like this without any prior notice."

"It's alright, beautiful girl. Come sit. Take off ur mask, let me see your beautiful face. "

'Ah, the mask i totally forgot.' she felt embarrassed and took it off.

"There it is." Old master said excitedly "no matter how many times i see you i still have a hard time getting used to your beauty" seeing tht bella looked embarrassed he added "also no need to feel sorry i m glad that you came otherwise how would have i enjoyed such a beautiful sight"

she smiled. "Thank you, old master," then she suddenly bowed to 90 degrees

"Old master i know it's rude, and i have no right to ask, but i really need a favour from you. Also, since i am running on the clock, i won't beat around the bush. "

Old master was surprised james was also Astonished.

"Wht is it child?come tell grandpa"

Now, bella was stunned 'grandpa' it felt like ages when she last used this form of address. Her eyes watered up a little, but she held them back stubbornly.

"Old master can you please buy my grandpas villa in Cloud City from my father?" She hesitated

Old master raised an eyebrow for her to continue

"I m currently staying there. But my father wants to demolish it."

"If you buy it from him,i will buy it from you."

"Hmmm, so you want me to be a middle man?" Old master stroked his chin
