Bella bit her lip even tighter.

If she said she wanted him to die, was it possible?

She buried her hatred in her heart as a secret. Amusement gleaming in her eyes, she made her request without hesitation.

"I want to annul the contract I signed just now."

"Okay."

Shawn's reply was crisp. He caught a glimpse of a glimmer of joy and cunning in her eyes.

He raised his eyebrows, revealing a significant look like a fox.

Before Bella could speak, he added unhurriedly, "But you'll have to pay me a hundred million penalty."

At once, Bella glared at him, "Are you jerking me around?"

Unexpectedly, Shawn nodded shamelessly with a little surprise, "You're not as stupid as I thought."

Bella really wanted to tear him up by hand!

Realizing that it was a waste of time to talk to him, Bella abandoned the intention of communication and went around him.

After walking a few steps, she heard Shawn's playful voice from behind, "Tomorrow is your first day. Remember to take your credentials with you and come here to check in. By the way, you have to be on call when I need you, or I will deduct your remuneration."

Bella turned around abruptly and glared at him.

"Why?" She shouted.

She flushed with anger, looking alluring and stunningly beautiful.

Shawn smiled, replied in a pleasant tone, "That is because I'm Shawn, your boss. And it's stated in the contract that all interpretation rights belong to Sky Entertainment Group."

Bella wanted to retort, but didn't dare.

"Mr. Evans, your shamelessness really blows my mind! Be careful when you go out in the future. There are so many people hating you. I'm afraid your life will be in danger!"

After cursing him coldly and viciously, Bella sneered and left without turning around.

Shawn didn't force her to stay. He casually sat on the sofa, tugging at the striped tie on his chest, white collarbone vaguely visible under the messy collar.

When he couldn't see the sight of her back, he said smilingly with one hand cupping his chin, "Carl."

"Yes, Young Master."

Thinking of Bella's previous accusations, Shawn's eyes were filled with gloom. He raised his hand and touched the cheek that had been slapped.

"She didn't sleep with me on purpose two years ago?"

Carl thought for a while, replying, "Probably not. Maybe someone arranged it on purpose."

"Huh?" Shawn raised his eyebrows, "Who?"

"Not clear at the moment."

Carl, who was proud of his good memory, recalled, "Two years ago, Miss Jones was selling wine in a nightclub, I remember she seemed to have accidentally bumped into you at the time, and then you casually asked who she was. Maybe someone thought you were interested in her and sent her there."

However, Bella misunderstood.

Shawn frowned and pondered for a long time, also recalling that scene two years ago.

He did have that glimmer of interest in Bella at the time and admitted that he did want to sleep with her, but he was not interested in raping a woman just because of that glimmer of interest.

Was not it easy for him to sleep with a woman?

Too many women wanted to have sex with him including girls from prestigious families, stars and models.

"Do you need me to check?"

"No need."

Shawn rejected Carl's proposal. He suddenly smiled, which was seducing and inexplicable. His slender fingertips slowly crossed the corner of his lips.

"I don't care about the beginning. Since she barged into my life again two years later, I will not allow her to run away from me until my interest in her disappears. We have a lot of time."

Carl wisely didn't make any comments and changed the topic naturally.

"Young Master, may I know why you think that Miss Jones will definitely get Andy Chandler's recognition? After all, He's a fussy and stubborn man."

"It's simple."

His handsome face creased into a proud smile, making him appear breathtakingly stunning. He said with confidence, "She can handle even me, so won't she be capable of handling Andy?"

"......."

Carl coughed.

He had to say that Young Master had a kind of fascinating confidence although he was overbearing and temperamental.

........

After leaving the office, Bella stayed at Sky Entertainment Group for a while and signed a contract with Director Chandler.

Thanking about that she had to come here tomorrow to check in, she suddenly had a deep headache.

What bothered her most was that she did not have a few credentials in her hand, so she had to go back to that place.

However......

Bella frowned. Finally, she stopped a taxi and told the driver her destination.

"The Madelon Apartment."

Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the entrance of the apartment.

Bella mentally prepared herself and walked in.

Coming to the eighth floor of Building A, she stood in front of a door and rang the doorbell three times, just like a visitor.

"Who is it?"

As a raspy male voice called out from inside, the door was opened.

A teenager who had dyed claret hair and dressed in a punk style froze for a moment when he saw Bella standing in the doorway, and then he smiled weirdly.

"Isn't this my runaway sister? What? You can't make it out there anymore and want to go home to have free meals?"

Bella glanced at him and tried to go inside, but she was stopped by him and immediately frowned.

"I'll go right after getting my stuff."

At this time, a voluptuous-looking woman in a housecoat walked over.

When she saw Bella, the woman's face suddenly fell. She threw the towel out of her hand!

"Bella, what are you doing back there? You were the one who wanted to cut ties with us in the first place, and you were the one who insisted on looking after that old dog. Therefore, now you are not welcome!"

"I don't need you to welcome me."

The two words ''old dog" stirred up Bella's anger.

"You are not my biological mother in the first place, and I never thought of you as my mother. I just came back to take my stuff and leave right away!"

She threw off her stepmother's arm that was crossed in front of her and stroke inside.

Coming to her precious bedroom, she found it had been converted into a utility room.

Bella pursed her lips, bent down and searched for a while. She finally found a carton in the far corner, which was filled with a hodgepodge of her belongings.

She simply carried the carton in her arms. Just as she turned around, she met her father – Todd Jones.

"Why are you here?"

His handsome face hardened at once, "You're just like your shameless mother. Never come back after getting out!"

Bella's face fell.

She really didn't know how come there was such a brazen person in the world.

Just because he cheated on Bella's mother, her mother left in a fit of rage, even leaving her daughter Bella behind.

He had a grudge against her mother because he thought she was not a family woman. He even transferred his anger from Bella's mother to Bella and became disgusted with Bella as well.

Later, because of her grandpa, Bella had a big fight with them, said something harsh like cutting ties with them and moved out of her home.
