Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Don’t Inquire, Third Young Master and His Little Girlfriend
“Huh?”
Allan Season was stunned for a mont before he processed what Oliver Hughes had just said.
But when he looked back, there was nothing to see.
He’d been checking the group ssages, seeing if there was any progress on Joy Thompson’s end, worried that by the ti they arrived, Bella Woods and the old man would have already fled.
Peace City was quite far from Wood County.
“Call your brother and ask what my uncle is doing today,” Oliver Hughes thought for a mont and said.
Allan Season blinked and asked tentatively, “Young Master Oliver, you don’t suspect that the old man Bella Woods is seeing is Third Young Master Marshall, do you?”
The very thought made Allan Season want to laugh, “How is that possible? You see how far Peace City is from Wood County, what kind of person is Third Young Master Marshall that he would be interested in a country girl like Bella Woods, and the two of them even…”
“I asked you to make a call, why is it so difficult?” Oliver Hughes scolded with displeasure.
Allan Season hurriedly operated his phone, “Right away.”
He dialed Tim Season’s number and put it on speaker.
“What?” Tim Season, buried under a mountain of work, was on edge, and seeing Allan Season’s call just irritated him further.
“Well… brother, I just wanted to ask, what’s Third Young Master Marshall’s schedule today?” Tim Season asked cautiously, watching Oliver Hughes’ reaction even more carefully.
Tim Season, already annoyed, was even more irritated by Allan Season’s question, “Why are you prying into Third Young Master’s affairs? What mischief are you up to again? Last ti with Bella Woods, I warned you, don’t ss up again, or the Season Family won’t back you up a second ti!”
“Brother Season, it’s , Oliver,” Oliver Hughes quickly spoke up to make his presence known.
Afraid that if he was late by a second, Tim Season would hang up the call right away.
Tim Season was quite surprised, “Oliver?”
“It’s , Brother Season.” Oliver Hughes took the phone, “I’m with Allan Season, and it’s not very convenient for to call as I’m driving, so I had him call you to ask about my uncle’s whereabouts today. Mainly because I have so business with him, but as you know, he’s busy, and I don’t want to disturb him.”
“Oh, well, whatever it is, maybe another day,” Tim Season spoke politely to Oliver Hughes, “Your uncle is out on a date with his young girlfriend today, ignoring a pile of work, much less your matters.”
“With a young girlfriend?” Oliver Hughes was dubious, “Brother Season, it’s like this, before I got engaged, I heard my uncle ntion this future aunt. It’s just that at my engagent, she didn’t show up, and I can’t help but be curious about who she really is.”
“Funny, you’re curious, and I’m even more curious,” Tim Season couldn’t help but complain, “This ti your uncle is serious, it’s not just a simple romance with this young girlfriend.”
“Does that an they might get married?” Oliver Hughes asked probingly.
“I’m not sure, but it seems likely. Previously, your uncle went back to the Marshall Family, and it was quite dramatic. It seems the Sutton Family wanted to introduce Tessa to him, but your uncle said he would only marry one person, and that’s his current girlfriend.”
“And how did my uncle et my future aunt?” Oliver Hughes continued to ask.
Tim Season was silent for a while before speaking, “Young Master Oliver, more than anyone, you know your uncle’s temperant. If he’s keeping this young girlfriend hidden, and the news gets out, you know with his character, what the consequences may be.”
Tim Season’s last words were clearly a reminder.
He could already tell that Oliver Hughes was trying to coax more information about Ashton Marshall’s young girlfriend out of him.
Oliver Hughes may have a bad temper, but he wasn’t foolish, “Sorry, Brother Season, it’s just my curiosity, I didn’t an to disturb you.”
After receiving Tim Season’s response, Oliver Hughes ended the call and handed the phone back to Allan Season.
His face was somber as he pondered over sothing.
“Young Master Oliver, you can’t really think that Third Young Master Marshall’s young girlfriend is Bella Woods, do you?” Allan Season felt like this was completely out of the realm of possibility.
Third Young Master Marshall? Bella Woods?
Bella Woods? Third Young Master Marshall?
How could it be, these two were completely unrelated individuals.
Besides, soone like Bella Woods, Oliver Hughes is already her best choice, and her future partner options couldn’t even begin to compare to Oliver Hughes.
Third Young Master Marshall? Ridiculous!
Not to ntion, the relationship between Third Young Master Marshall and Oliver Hughes makes it even more impossible.
Yet, Allan Season’s words received no response from Oliver Hughes, who restarted the car following Joy Thompson’s given address to reach Wood County.
When they arrived, Joy Thompson was being questioned and investigated by the local police at Wood County, confirming that her grandparents were locals and she was just there visiting family.
As Joy Thompson walked out, she saw Oliver Hughes and Allan Season getting out of the car, her expression complex.
“Where are Bella Woods and the old man?” Allan Season asked directly.
Joy Thompson hesitated, “They, they…”
“What’s with the hesitation? Do you know how many hours Young Master Oliver drove to get here, and you just want them to co up empty-handed?” Allan Season snapped irritably.
“I, I just…”
“Allan Season,” Oliver Hughes called to stop him.
He walked up to Joy Thompson, simultaneously operating his phone, “You said earlier that you saw Bella Woods with that old man together, correct?”
Joy Thompson nodded vigorously, “I really did see them, it’s just I accidentally didn’t capture any clear pictures of them together.”
“Then take a look, is the man with Bella Woods this one?” Oliver Hughes pulled up a photo of Ashton Marshall and showed it to Joy Thompson.
Joy Thompson examined it carefully.
“Make sure you look closely before you answer,” Allan Season warned.
Joy Thompson jumped in fright and then hurriedly shook her head, “No, it’s not.”
“Are you sure?” Oliver Hughes clearly felt relieved.
Joy Thompson frantically shook her head, “No, no, it’s not.”
…
Ashton Marshall and Bella Woods were in the car headed back to the city.
Neither spoke once they hit the highway.
Ashton Marshall pulled into a service area where several well-dressed staff mbers were waiting beside a line of cars.
As soon as Ashton Marshall parked, a man in white gloves respectfully opened the car door for him, “Third Young Master.”
“Take her back,” Ashton Marshall ordered as he got out.
Bella Woods sat in the passenger seat, dumbfounded.
Ashton Marshall turned back, a mocking smirk on his lips, “Didn’t you say you didn’t want to ride in the sa car as ? Now I’ll have soone take you back.”
Bella Woods’ heart pounded wildly, not understanding what Ashton Marshall ant.
She wanted to explain, but Ashton Marshall was already walking away without looking back.
Without thinking, Bella Woods unbuckled her seatbelt and followed him out of the car, “Wait.”
Just as Ashton Marshall was about to get into his car, he heard Bella Woods’ voice and turned to look at her, “Is there sothing else?”
“No, it’s just, um…”
