After putting Dax in his bedroom, Tristan joins Bella in the living room.
Tristan saw her read sothing on her cell phone. From her expression, he could guess sothing was bothering her now, which worried him. However, he didn’t want to distract her now.
He sat across from her silently. After a few minutes, she looked up at him, and he warmly smiled at her despite her shock.
"Gosh, Tristan, you startled !" She placed her cell phone in her bag and silently took another deep sigh, trying to hide her worry. However, it was too late. Tristan already knew.
"You look slightly worried. Sothing happened in the office?" he asked in concern.
Bella, "...."
Even though Laura Kiels made a scene in the office only to et her, it was not the one that distracted her now. However, an anonymous email reached her in her inbox.
After a few monts of silence, Bella finally told him what was bothering her.
"Tristan, soone followed us and took our picture," she said while offering her cell phone to him. "You can see the picture…"
Tristan’s expression instantly stiffened when he saw the photo of them leaving the restaurant. He frowned montarily, as if thinking about sothing, before returning her phone.
"Don’t worry, Bella. I will ask soone to find out who took this picture and try to blackmail you." He smiled, trying to reassure her not to worry much.
Although Tristan tries to lessen her worry, Bella’s expression remains unchanged. She can’t dismiss the thought that her evil in-law would see that picture and co after Dax. No, she will never allow them to do that!
Bella looked into Tristan’s eyes before she said firmly, "Tristan, I’m afraid your parents will do sothing bad to Dax."
The light in her eyes flickered as her emotions flared. She continued, "Like forcing Dax to the Sinclair family without my concern. If they do that, I will never forgive them!"
"Bella, how many tis have I promised you? This ti, my parents will not have the opportunity to hurt you or our son. That’s my promise. Please believe and don’t worry about it, OK?" Tristan said with sincerity.
Bella remained silent. Sohow, she still doubts it because she knows how manipulative Jessica Sinclair was in the past.
She even wondered a few tis that Jessica Sinclair might be the reincarnation of a female character in Chinese Drama, a white lotus lady type—she appears friendly and gentle before other family mbers. Still, behind them, she turns into devil’s mode every ti she faces her.
...
"About that picture, I will ask soone to check now..." Tristan spoke again, pulling Bella out of her worried thoughts.
"Mhm, thank you. If you know who that person is, please tell . I need to know why that person sent that photo," Bella said. She was suspicious; that person had a malicious motive.
"OK," Tristan said and took out his cell phone. He made a call without hesitation in front of Bella.
She was taken aback to realize that Tristan didn’t hide it when he talked to soone. She believed he was now speaking to his hacker.
"Max, I want you to check the CCTV around Stone House Restaurant..." Tristan tells him the exact ti, and he needs the identity of anyone who entered that restaurant around that ti.
While Tristan talked over the phone to Max, Bella was suprised to know Max was actually his hacker.
She is already suspicious of Max because, as a Technology Director in a big company such as Sinclair Corps, Max spends most of his ti in Tristan’s house, teaching Dax coding.
’Geez! No wonder I often hear him talking to Max on the phone...’ Bella laughed inwardly as she listened silently to their conversation.
Max, who was in the computer room downstairs, imdiately carried out Tristan’s orders, and it didn’t take long for him to get what his boss wanted.
He calls imdiately, "Boss, I send you the details in your email."
"Thanks..." Tristan felt in a good mood because Max could complete the task quickly, only a few minutes after he ended the call.
"That’s my job, boss." Max chuckled.
Before Max ended the call, he suddently rembered sothing. He said, "Ugh, Boss... I want to take a vacation today. Can I go back to my apartnt now?" He had stayed in this house for almost two weeks, and now he really missed his own bed.
"You can, but not now. Dax sleeps upstairs. I promised him that you would teach him at noon. So, you wait until he awakes. You can return to your house this night... and co back here again in two days."
"...."
Max can’t refute Tristan’s order; he could only say, "OK, boss. I understood..."
After Tristan ended the conversation with Max, he checked the email before showing it to Bella. However, when he read the information, he was surprised to find out who had taken the photo.
"You will not believe who that person was," Tristan said. I emailed you the information."
Bella feels curious.
She imdiately opened the email from Tristan. When she saw the information, her expression was exactly the sa as Tristan’s, shocked beyond words.
"Andreas Corby!?" Bella whispered, feeling confused. "Why does he still dare to take my photos and send them to ?"
"You fired him, right? Maybe he wanted to take revenge on you?"
"Yeah. He was supposed to fly back to his country, but he’s still here..." Bella started to believe what Tristan said.
"Do you need to put soone to tailing him?" Tristan said after he saw worry flash through her eyes.
"No need. I have soone who can handle that." Bella took out her cell phone, and she texted Sam.
"Bella, I could help you. I have plenty of people who could do such a simple job." Tristan offered his help again.
Bella was speechless.
How could this man take over all of Sam’s work? He had been her driver, and now he wanted to do the investigation for her.
If Sam finds out about this, he will probably resign and return to New York to work with Jack because he has nothing to do here.
Gosh!
