Chapter 1150: The Man She Loves to Her Core Is Actually Her Cousin’s First Love
Bella Green stood as if petrified, utterly rooted to the spot, utterly shocked.Seeing Bella’s expression, Xylia Xandrell felt no gratification, only overwhelming desolation.
"Go away, my affairs are none of your concern. From now on, I’ll keep my distance from you all."
The girl, usually so gentle and fond of wearing a faint smile, had become unreasonably cold.
Bella felt as though even breathing brought pain.
Mason Bennett, how could he possibly be Arjo?
Arjo...
The name that Xylia often mentioned in their childhood.
She clearly remembered the sweet, flower-like smile on Xylia’s face every time she uttered that name.
But later, he left, silently and without a word.
Yet, Xylia said he would return, that he promised to come back for her.
And the result?
Xylia actually said that Mason Bennett is Arjo?
How could that be possible!
"Could you be mistaken?" Bella forced herself to speak with difficulty, hoping she would say it was all a mistake.
Xylia looked at her, silent for a long time.
A mistake, how she wished it was all just a mistake, but even though eight years had passed, Arjo’s face remained vividly imprinted in her mind, never blurring for even a moment.
How could it be a mistake?
Xylia’s silence made Bella’s heart grow even colder.
She understood Xylia and Arjo’s story better than anyone.
In those youthful years when feelings were first budding, all the little secrets Xylia could share were only with her.
Yet, she had never imagined.
The man entangled with her for two lifetimes, whom she loved to the marrow.
Was actually her cousin’s first love...
And they probably hadn’t even broken up yet...
Bella’s face turned frighteningly pale, her breath unstable, her heart aching with each throb.
Her mind was a chaotic mess, unable to sort anything out.
She staggered back two steps, her lips drained of all color.
"Did he give you money to leave Brocade City?"
Bella felt a burning sensation in her throat, even speaking was agonizing.
"Yes," Xylia confirmed.
Bella’s eyes suddenly reddened.
What more was there to question?
If he wasn’t Arjo, why would he give Xylia money to leave Brocade City?
He knew, he always knew.
Why didn’t he tell me...
Xylia and he were the couple, they hadn’t broken up, so what was I?
Bella’s vision blurred, her eyes burning at the corners.
Seeing Bella so deeply hurt, Xylia frowned slightly, a trace of reluctance flickering in her eyes.
But ultimately, none of this was her fault...
Bella gritted her teeth, forcing the tears back, then looked at Xylia and then at Lily Johnson and her husband still kneeling on the ground.
She took a deep breath, steadied her emotions, and looked at Xylia.
"You don’t need to worry about your parents’ situation. If it really was him who did it..."
Bella paused, then continued, "He wouldn’t truly harm them, he just wanted to scare you. I’ll talk to him to let them go, and you don’t need to leave Brocade City."
After saying this, Bella ignored Lily’s emotional gratitude, turned, and left as if escaping...
...
Bella exited the casino, stood by the roadside, and with trembling hands took out her phone, fumbling multiple times before finally dialing Mason’s number.
Listening to the beeps in her ear, until the call connected, and the familiar voice of the man came through the receiver.
All of Bella’s grievances welled up, unable to hold back any longer, rushing to her heart, making it impossible for her to utter even a complete sentence.
