When the call connected, she gave Jack a deadly gaze before speaking to Stefan.
"Stefan, do you know the relationship between the CEO of Stellar Entertainment and our lovely boss?"
Jack’s eyes widen in shock.
Upon seeing Jack’s reaction, Bella was confident of her correct guess. She pressed the speaker button before Stefan could speak. Then, she flashes Jack an angry-cold smile.
Jack’s calm demeanor dissolved instantly.
"Of course, I know. I did include it in my report, right?" Stefan’s hoarse voice came from the other end as if he had just awakened from sleep.
Bella’s half-smile slowly appears on her lips as she looks at Jack.
She took a deep breath before responding to Stefan, pretending to be disappointed that he had forgotten to include that. If she had known about Jack’s connection to the CEO of Stellar Entertainment earlier, she would have made a deal with Jack.
"Huh... Really!?" Stefan was shocked to realize he had made a mistake. How could he not include the critical information in the report?
"Mhm, you didn’t..."
"Sorry, sister Bella," He feels terrible. "Well, he is Jack’s brother-in-law. I guess Jack already knows about it, but he pretends—"
"Okay, Stefan. Thanks for your hard work." Jack shouted before this young man exposed him. "—Go back and sleep again. I know there in the middle of the night!"
Stefan, who had just yawned while scratching his head, was surprised to hear Jack’s voice on the other end. His still half-open eyes widened.
"B-Boss, are you at Sister Bella’s place? Why didn’t you ask me to go with you to Astington!? You are so heartless," he feels sulked.
Bella could only laugh amusedly, seeing Jack acting awkwardly in front of her. He let her talk to Stefan for a few more seconds.
After the phone ended, Bella couldn’t help but say, "Damn it, Jack Foster! I can’t believe you used me to fire your brother-in-law. You such a coward!"
Jack’s face instantly turned grim, as if someone had spat in his food after hearing Bella’s words. He couldn’t deny what Bella had said. She was correct in her assessment; he lacked the courage to terminate his wife’s brother from his job.
He was concerned that if he took such an action, it would cause his wife to become angry with him and could even kick him out of their bed. This would cause a lot of trouble for him if it were to happen, right!?
Despite being aware of his brother-in-law’s inability to run their company in this country, Jack chose to ignore it.
He began looking for someone who could take up the responsibility on his behalf to fire his brother-in-law.
After trying to find someone who could help him, only Bella came to his mind, who could do that for him.
That’s why he chased Bella several years ago, trying to convince her to return to the company and clean up the mess his brother-in-law had made.
"Kind and pretty, Bella... that’s why I need your help," Jack’s lips lifted into a miserable smile before he said, "You know my wife, right? She’ll sulk in a few days, no, a month, and throw me out if I fire her brother," he took another long, deep sigh.
