“Bella?”
I looked up and saw him clearly. After a moment of silence, I said coldly, “What are you doing here?” “I came specially for you. Are you working here?” Ryan looked at the building behind me. “How did you know I was working here?” I frowned. “It’s… it’s your mother who told me. If you change your job, tell me. It’s hard to find you. My calls never got through too!” Ryan said with a smile. Hearing this, I was very angry. Didn’t mom promise that she had seen Ryan’s true colors? Why did she tell Ryan where I worked?
“Of course you can’t get through, because I have put you in the blacklist. I don’t want to have any contact with you. Do you understand?” I said this and turned to leave.
Ryan immediately stepped forward to block my way and said ingratiatingly, “You are always angry with Dad! After so many years, should our relationship be eased?” “My relationship with you can never be eased, ever!” My attitude was very tough. Ryan seemed to have been irritated by me. He put away his hypocrisy and put his hand into his pocket, saying, “The contract between Wharton Group and my insurance company has ended. Now, Herbert is not willing to renew it. Why don’t you ask him to renew this contract for me?” Hearing this, I couldn’t help sneering. He finally exposed his true colors.

“Your insurance company is unreliable! A terrible insurance company like you should not exist at all. You’d better close down early!”
My words made Ryan furious. He raised his hand and hit me in the face!
I was stunned and didn’t react at all.
But the pain I imagined didn’t fall on my face. A hand reached out from my back and grabbed Ryan’s arm. With a push, Ryan didn’t stand steadily and almost fell to the ground.
“Who are you?” Ryan asked.
With that, Klein stuffed his business card into Ryan’s hand, then pulled my hand and left.
“A lawyer? B*tch! You’ve hooked up with a lawyer this time. You’re quite capable. You can hook up with a boss every time. Your biological father wants you to do something for him, but you’re not willing. You’ll go to hell sooner or later…” Hearing the unbearable curses behind me, I couldn’t help but feel a lump in my throat. Klein opened the car door. This time, I didn’t refuse. I sat down in the passenger seat I didn’t know why I suddenly couldn’t control my emotions today. All the pain I had experienced appeared in front of me again, and my tears couldn’t stop flowing down. Klein handed over two pieces of tissue, quietly staring at me. I took the tissue and cried, “Thank you.” After crying for a while, I calmed down a little. After wiping my tears with a tissue, I raised my head and forced a smile. “Thank you.” “You’re welcome. Is that person really your father?” Klein asked me. “You can say that in terms of blood relations.” I replied.
Klein didn’t continue to ask what had happened between Ryan and I. He just said, “How can I help
you?”
“You‘ve already helped me. If it weren’t for your help, he definitely wouldn’t have left so quickly.” I looked at Klein with grateful eyes. “If you don’t mind, I can lend you my ear.” Klein looked at me sincerely.
I really needed someone to talk to. I looked at him and told him some of my experiences. “He abandoned my mother, sister, and I 16 years ago and got married to a mistress. My mother knelt or the ground and begged him…”
