Chapter 229 Retaliation By The Divorced Heiress

• In an instant, Ryan's face became pallid. He was unaware of Bella's knife-wielding moment. He didn't have time to respond because the knife was around his neck. The butterfly knife was notorious for being a sneaky yet incredibly deadly tool. It was the flashiest, most lethal weapon that could be wielded with a single finger flick. Bella applied this to Ryan. How unkind! "Ryan, stop bothering me." Bella squinted, lightly dabbing at his cheek with the edge of the knife. Even if you were the last man on Earth, I wouldn't pick you.

Bella scoffed. “I still won’t choose you.” Ryan had always been pompous and dignified. His ego and heart broke into a million pieces at this very moment. The office door opened abruptly. "What are you doing, Bella?" With a stunned expression, Asher stood at the door. Bella closed the butterfly knife, and her gaze furrowed. She then gave her brother a charming smile.

How do you feel? I no longer even need to wrap it in gauze.
