Justin felt his blood surge, but he was even more distressed. “Aunt Mila, you are Bella’s family, which makes you my family. I can disregard my reputation, but I can’t let someone disrespect you!”
His heartfelt words made Bella instantly tear up, and she hugged him tightly with her slender arms, her heart feeling so soft that it seemed to lose the strength to continue beating.
Mila’s throat dried up. She did her best to force a smile. “Thank you.”
“Aunt Mila, rest assured. I won’t let you be disrespected like that.”
Bella’s beautiful eyes flickered with embers of fire. “If I don’t make him pay for this, I’ll take his last name!”
Justin was amused. Was Bella so mad that she was not thinking straight? Taking Cameron’s last name meant she would still be a Thompson.
Mila advised softly, “Bella, your father is still sick, and I think his condition is not stable. He almost had another episode just now. For the time being, you’d better not act rashly, in case you agitated him. We’ll wait until he’s fully recovered before talking about this.”
“Aunt Mila, I really don’t understand what Wyatt is thinking!”
Bella said angrily, “He’s enabling Cameron’s misdeeds. He was never a man who couldn’t see things clearly. Just because that’s his brother, Wyatt could watch him eat away at the company’s profits bit by bit like a parasite?! He’s turning a blind eye to right and wrong and aiding that despicable bastard!”
“Wyatt is not a foolish man. He only tolerated him again and again because of your mother!”
Mila could not bear to see Bella’s misunderstanding of her father, who loved her so much, so she accidentally blurted it out in haste.
“Mom… What about Mom? What does she have to do with Cameron?” Bella immediately grabbed her arm, determined to get to the bottom of it!
Mila pursed her lips tightly.
When Yara passed away, Bella was still too young to understand things. Wyatt intentionally avoided and hid everything about Yara, so Bella knew very little about her mother.
