My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 273

After a few seconds passed, Bella glanced at Stefan again. She tried to express what worried her now.

"Stefan, you said earlier that you released news about bribery and the police being involved, right?"

"Yes."

"Is it serious?"

"Of course. What’s more, now is the political year; this country is about to hold a general election to elect a president. Officials who commit corruption are heavily attacked by their political opponents, so everyone involved will not escape. They will end up in prison."

Bella’s hands felt cold, imagining her father, who was involved.

"Who is responsible for that case?" she asked.

Stefan didn’t understand Bella’s question. "What do you mean, Sis?"

Even though she hated her father, she was concerned about him going to prison. Her tone couldn’t hide her worry when she asked, "From the Donovan Group, who is involved with the bribe scandal?"

Bella wasn’t worried because she felt sorry for her father. However, Stefan is concerned that if the public finds out that Lucas Donovan is her father, the public perception toward Tristan might be hurt, especially if the public knows about their relationship as a married couple.

Sigh!

Stefan, silent for a moment, didn’t answer Bella right away. He looked toward the scenery outside as he tried to recall the data he had retrieved from the Donovans’ cell phones and laptop databases.

After a few more seconds, he looked at Bella.

"Thomas Donovan, your younger uncle... He is in charge of the project. And besides him, your first uncle may be affected too because he is the company’s CEO."

"How about my father and Aunt Emma?"

"From the data I obtained, I can confirm they are not in any part of the wicked plan…"

Instantly, Bella felt like the heavy burden that had been pressing on her chest was released. She could breathe easily, knowing her father and Aunt Emma were not involved.

"Thank you, Stefan," Bella smiled at him. "Alright, I have to go home now. My hubby is waiting downstairs. You can go back upstairs and continue your work..."

"Ok, Sis..." Stefan finished his coffee and stood up. However, before he left the room, he stopped in his tracks and turned to see Bella, who was reading her phone near her table.

When he saw her smile, he hesitated to ruin her happy moment with the other news.

But before he continued to walk, his heart told him to stop. This kind of news couldn’t be hidden. After a deep sigh, he said, "Sister, there is something you need to know..."

"What is it?" Bella turned to Stefan, who was leaning against the door frame.

"It’s about your father," Stefan paused momentarily as if something was stopping him from continuing because what he was about to say might crush her heart.

Bella could see that Stefan seemed to be having trouble speaking, which made her worry. "Say it, Stefan!"

Stefan ran his fingers through his hair and turned away, avoiding her curious gaze.

"Ugh, Boss... I’ll send you everything I’ve found out when I investigated your father," he said and left. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
