The Villain's Redemption Chapter 235 Acting

Chapter 235 Acting

However, just as she was about to reach the door, Laney Qin, gave her arm a vicious yank. Bella hissed. "Don't touch me, Laney! Let me go!" She suddenly screamed, surprising the latter. Bella never does something that could potentially ruin her father's name before. No matter how much Laney tried to bully her, she would never raised her voice nor tell someone about it.
For a few seconds, Laney stood there, her hand tight around Bella's arm. "Laney, let me go! You already have my ex-husband. You already made my parents disowned me! Aren't you satisfied? Stop hurting me!"
Bella's words woke Laney up from her stupor. She squinted at Bella. "You think, this acting would be enough to convince anyone that I had been bullying you? Bella…. My dear Bella. If I screamed right now, did you think that the mayor wouldn't call the police to arrest you for harassing a small pregnant woman like me?" A smug smile was apparent on Laney's face. "If you think, Xieren would believe your words over mind, then think again."
"I know," Bella said as she used her hand to remove Laney's hands on her arm. "I know I won't be able to win against you. Not when you were so good at acting. Tell me, Laney, are you going to tell your husband that I bullied you again? Please don't tell me that you are going to cry right now? You were the one who yanked my arm, causing a bruise."
"And? You could easily create a bruise by using your own arm or something else. Did you forget this already happened before? And yet, no believed you." Laney snorted.
"I know," Bella said. Inwardly, she had been jumping around and laughing. This Laney was really good at acting that every time she bullied the real Bella, everyone would think it was the other way around. They would think Bella was the one who made the angel Laney cried.
It was really stupid. How could Bella's father believe Laney over her? Simple. This was because Laney is more accomplished the Bella. During high school and even in college, Laney was always smarter, better. They thought that Bella was just jealous of her accomplishments.
How could Laney be jealous of someone like Bella? Laney was prettier, smarter, and just better in all aspects!
"So, I will not engage with you anymore," Bella added, hoping to fan the fire and create bigger trouble. "You already have the attention of my parents and my ex-husband. That should make you happy, right? You were able to convince them that you were Xieren's first love and not me. You were able to convince them to remove me from the Qin Family registry because I slapped you when you were the only one who slapped yourself." She gave a convincing sad… smile. "Please leave me alone Laney. I don't want any trouble with you. Xieren is already yours and I have no interest in ruining your relationship. After all, I am not like you." She tried to leave the room again, but once again, Laney held her arm.
"Let me go, Laney!"
"Hmph!" Laney gave a sinister smile. "What do you think would happen if that husband of yours would know that you actually hurt me today?"
"What— What are you talking about?" Bella widened her eyes.
"Simple. I heard that Mr. Mo is actually considering running against the Qins. He wouldn't want a scandalous woman like you around him, right?"
"Laney, you — you are already pregnant with Xieren's child! You already made everyone hate me. Why are you still adamant about ruining my life? Did I really do something wrong towards you?" Bella's eyes reddened. Sadly, no matter how much she tried to cry, no tears came out of her eyes. This was just too funny.
She wondered why the original Bella never thought of this before!
"I don't want you to be happy. It's that simple." Laney said. "I don't need a reason to hate someone." She gave another sinister smile before she let go of Bella's arm. "You can go."
"Leave me alone Laney. I don't want to talk to you again." Bella let panic flashed in her eyes before she hastily ran out of the toilet. Just as she expected, a loud shout echoed just as she reached her table. She met Mo Li's eyes. This time, the frightened expression that she showed earlier vanished. It was replaced with a victorious smile.
"How was the wine?" Bella asked as she removed her phone from her bag and turn off the recording. Then she quickly sent a copy of the recording to her own email and even Mo Li's email that she got earlier.
"Not as tasty as you but it would suffice. For now." Mo Li winked at her.
"Drunk already?" she laughed.
"A little," he nodded. "Am I going to enjoy the show?"
Bella gave a tight-lipped smile, her eyes glimmered with mischief. "I hope so." She said while holding her wine glass towards him. In response, Mo Li raised his own glass and tilted it towards her.
"Cheers?"
Bella nodded. "Cheers."
Just as the two finished their wine, footsteps echoed towards them. It immediately attracted the attention of a lot of people in the restaurant.
"Bella! How dare you hurt my wife?" Su Xieren's face was dark as he held his wife's hand, pulling her towards Bella and Mo Li's table. "I already told you! There is no way that I would come back. Did you think changing your looks would be enough to entice me?" Su Xieren's face was red, something that only happened when he was drunk.
Did he stupidly drink a lot of wine after seeing her? Ah, the man must have felt a little anger after knowing that his ex-wife was now married to someone more successful than him? Was this an ego thing?
"What are you talking about?" Bella acted surprised. "Did something happen?"
"I am calling the police!" Su Xieren uttered.
"Husband… this... There is no need to call the authorities. This is just a misunderstanding." Laney Qin's voice was the exact opposite of the voice that she used earlier. It was soft and sweet. It sounded so innocent it made Bella want to puke her guts out.
