I tried to keep calm, because resentment couldn't solve the problem.

I just wanted to quietly send my mom away. I had decided not to get involved in Bella's life anymore.

"You misunderstood. The company's money is also your money. You can do whatever you want with it."

Bella was stunned. This was the first time I didn't stop her, didn't consider the company, and didn't entangle her.

Yes, even I felt unfamiliar with this version of myself.

"What do you mean, James?" Bella crossed her arms and stared at me coldly.

"Can you give me the smallest one, Ms. Evans?" In front of others, I would address her Ms. Evans. She was afraid that others would know about our relationship and kept a distance from me in front of others.

I would do as she wished, from now on, I would only address her as Ms. Evans, decent and respectful.

"Bella, since James needs it, give it to him. Don't consider me. Bell will understand in heaven."

Holden's beloved dog was called Bell. Bella thought the name sounded good and enjoyed it.

After listening to Holden's words, I felt nauseous.

How could a person be so shameless? Holden often played pitifully in front of Bella. He said it was hard to be an idol. Singing was hard, dancing was hard, acting was hard, and there was no return for his efforts. He would be emotional late at night and even wanted to commit suicide.

At this time, Bella would buy some small gifts to make Holden happy.

Bella didn't hesitate when she swiped the card for luxury goods worth tens of thousands.

When there were resources, Bella used her personal connections to pave the way for Holden.

With fans' support and Bella as a safe haven, how could he say it was hard work?

What about me?

I worked diligently from morning till night, worrying about the company's affairs, schemes, and profits. I worked almost 20 hours a day, even when I was sick.

Bella looked at me coldly, "James, don't go too far. My patience has its limits."

"Bella's funeral should be perfect. What do you mean by having a hall? Are you only satisfied if you stick a thorn in Holden's heart?"

Holden quickly said, "It's okay. It doesn't matter."

After saying that, Holden provocatively glanced at me. His actions were very subtle, and Bella didn't see it.

This kind of situation had happened many times.

I told Bella but she didn't believe me. She thought I was falsely accusing. She didn't know that Holden had gone to great lengths to provoke me in every way possible, making me lose control.

"Ms. Evans, this is my last request to you, okay?"

Bella gritted her teeth, "James, you have disappointed me too much. Disappear immediately. I don't want to see you again."

My heart died.

I turned around silently.

Bella.

I would listen to you the last time.

I would never see you again.

I cancelled the last farewell.

Family and friends who knew of my mom's passing transferred the money and politely declined to come.

That was good. My mother didn't like lively occasions. Especially after she got sick, she had lost her social life.

I pushed my mother to be cremated.

The staff stopped me.

I used both hard and soft tactics.

I begged them that I wanted to make my mother rest in peace as soon as possible. After the cremation, I would leave without causing any trouble.

I threatened them that I was in a bad mood and I didn't want to upset everyone.

In the end, I got what I wanted. I left with the urn in my hands, covered with a black cloth.

I muttered, "Mom, I'm taking you home."

Before I could leave, I was stopped.

It was Holden's bodyguard. They suspected that I had stolen something and wanted to check me.

I suspected that Holden did it on purpose because he wanted to embarrass me.

"Get out of here!"

I shouted at the bodyguard.

The urn couldn't be exposed to light, so it was covered with a black cloth.

Someone should have held an umbrella to shield it from the light, but I was only one person, so I had to keep it simple.

The bodyguards rushed over and snatched the urn from my hands.

I desperately dodged, but there were three of them and they were strong and tall.

I was useless and couldn't protect the urn in my hands. They took it away.

Fortunately, they didn't remove the black cloth. It didn't reach the worst point.

"What's going on?"

Bella and Holden walked over together.

"Holden, make them return my things!"

Holden asked the bodyguards, and they said I was suspicious.

"James, that's enough. Why are you targeting me like this? I'm already so sad, and you're still causing trouble."

"I really couldn't understand why Bella would choose you."

"The company clearly belongs to Bella, and it has grown and developed under her leadership. Yet, you claim it as your own achievement. You are truly a despicable person."

Bella interrupted Holden and said lightly, "Stop talking. No matter what, James is still my fiancé."

Holden lowered his head, and a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

"James! What is that thing?"

Bella pointed to the urn and asked me.

I couldn't say anything. It was like a lump in my throat.

"James, I can't believe I trusted you. Tell me, do you want to harm Holden?" Bella stared at me with wide eyes, looking fierce and menacing.

Both Bella and Holden were superstitious.

Bella hired a well-known medium and spent a lot of money on the decoration of the company according to the medium.

Holden wore a cross all year round.

Bella misunderstood me and thought I had done something.

Suddenly, I saw Holden blink, and my scalp went numb instantly.

Sure enough, the bodyguard received instructions, loosened his hand, and the urn fell to the ground.

I even had the intention to kill him. I took a big step forward and wanted to catch the urn.

The other two bodyguards held me back and watched the urn shatter.

The ashes scattered all over the place.

I roared, tears streaming down my face, "Holden, I will kill you. I must kill you!"

How could he be so despicable and even disturb my mom and make her restless?

Holden pointed at me and said, "Bella, I'm so scared! Why is he so fierce?"

Bella squatted down and examined the remaining wreckage.

Holden exclaimed, "How come there are bones? James cursed me."

Bella's phone rang.

The assistant's voice came out.

"Ms. Evans, the expert you invited can't come."

Bella said coldly, "Didn't I ask him to come immediately? Now you contact a more famous expert than him."

The assistant hesitated for a moment.

"Ms. Evans, it's not necessary. James's mother passed away last night."

"The funeral parlor's farewell hall he booked was forced to cancel because of Holden's pet farewell party."
