F1 Champion's Perfect Crash: When Love Takes The Final Turn novel Chapter 143

As Anthony had started speaking, he didn't intend to keep anything from me anymore. "That night, it is not only you who drank that thing, but many others fell victim to it as well, including Ella. At that time, she..."

I was already aware of this incident and remained silent, listening quietly.

Anthony continued, "Unfortunately, she was unlucky. Feeling unwell, she went to rest in our guest room. However, Gerald came to pick Elena up and mistakenly ended up with her."

This revelation surprised me. I had no idea about this.

Anthony seemed somewhat helpless as he continued, "I only found out the next day. My mother had already noticed that Ella was acting strange. She wanted us to be together, so she allowed Ella to stay in our guest room. She asked me to bring her the antidote, but I was unaware of anything, so I asked Gerald to help deliver it. Ella mistook Gerald for me."

I knew that Ella had feelings for Anthony, but I never expected that Ella would mistake Gerald for him.

It was truly a case of having high aims but ended up in total failure.

I, who doesn't have the habit of prying into others' privacy, couldn't help but ask, "What does this have to do with Bella?"

"Ella is pregnant. As you know, it only takes seven days to confirm pregnancy. Moreover, many people already knew about it. To protect Ella's reputation, the Rhodes Family wants Gerald to marry her. However, Gerald has someone else in mind." Anthony answered truthfully.

Anthony looked at me.

Suddenly, I remembered Victoria's words from before, stating that Bella is getting married and that I should help her get into Strakovski Jewelry as her wedding gift.

I, somewhat dazed, asked, "You mean Gerald wants to marry Bella?"

I never expected that after Victoria's scheme to get me and Gerald together failed, Bella would now want to marry him.

Anthony nodded helplessly, "That's right. Ella's incident happened in our family, so even if we cannot form a marriage alliance with the Rhodes Family, we still need to give them an explanation. That's why I investigated Gerald and found out that he was already involved with Bella. Initially, Bella might have been using him."

Anthony looked at me and continued, "I discovered this only in the last two days. During the incident when you saved me in the alley, it was Gerald's people trying to get back at me. Gerald had a relationship with Bella, and he agreed to help her punish me. However, something must have changed, as Gerald unexpectedly fell for Bella and is now determined to marry her."

I was surprised by the revelation that Bella had sought revenge through Gerald.

My face showed anger, "She's truly wicked. You were just speaking the truth as a doctor. How could she..."

Anthony smiled, seemingly unfazed by the matter.

Then, he changed the subject, "Gerald does want to marry Bella, but he messed things up when he took advantage of Ella that night. Logically speaking, the Rhodes Family's influence should be stronger than the Lopez Family's. Marrying Ella would have more benefits than marrying Bella. However, I heard that the Lopez Family seems to have formed some connections with Lukas. I heard that Strakovski sued Bella, but she still managed to get into Strakovski."
