Dump My Ex, Dive into Love with His Billionaire Uncle

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Transformed into a Little Rich Woman, She Wants to Support Third Young Master Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Transformed into a Little Rich Woman, She Wants to Support Third Young Master A family dinner turned into a farce, ending with Oliver Hughes kneeling to apologize to Bella Woods.

The original intention was for the family dinner to disperse like that, but Daniel Hughes stopped Ron Woods and Jade Patel from leaving.

“The dinner hasn’t been eaten yet.” Daniel Hughes merely said.

Ron Woods could only let Jade Patel take Rose Woods to the next room to rest. After comforting Rose, Jade Patel returned to the banquet.

The family dinner lost its flavor and the atmosphere was rather silent.

Bella Woods was sitting next to Cyan Marshall, with Oliver Hughes, who had a cold face throughout, on her right.

She was pondering how to find a reason to look for the handsome male prostitute.

Would he still be at the hotel now?

“Today’s incident ultimately wronged our Bella.” Daniel Hughes raised his glass and spoke.

Bella Woods looked up to listen carefully.

“Bella, don’t take today’s incident to heart. I imagine your parents will compensate you for your grievances.”

The insinuation of this remark was clear.

It also made Daniel Hughes’ purpose of keeping everyone for dinner clear.

Bella Woods had suffered grievances today and needed to be compensated to truly end it.

Ron Woods gave Jade Patel a look, signaling her.

Jade Patel immediately said, “Indeed, today our Bella was both slandered and misunderstood. As parents, we feel guilty for neglecting our Bella.”

“Well, Bella is about to go to college. I’ve arranged a large flat near the school for convenience.”

“Didn’t Mom arrange a house near the school for me before?” Bella Woods smiled sweetly and innocently.

It was also a reminder that Jade Patel had previously agreed to two conditions to appease Oliver Hughes and complete the engagement.

Three million and a fully paid house near the school.

In the past, Bella Woods didn’t have much thought about these.

But now, it was a bit different.

Under the table, she held her phone and sent a message to the handsome male prostitute: Where are you?

Bella Woods: How much to keep you for a year?

“Look at me, I forgot about that.” Jade Patel laughed awkwardly. “I completely forgot about that.”

As she was still thinking about the compensation, Bella Woods’ phone was suddenly grabbed by someone, which scared her pale. She turned to see Oliver Hughes who snatched her phone!

Oliver Hughes glanced at her without speaking, operated on her phone for a while, and then took out his own phone to operate.

With the sound of a message arriving on Bella Woods’ phone, Oliver Hughes returned the phone to her: “Five million, my compensation.”

After speaking, he glanced over to Cyan Marshall, raising his chin slightly, clearly asking: Satisfied?

Cyan Marshall did not respond, and Oliver Hughes mentioned having ‘something to do’ before walking out.

Bella Woods stared at the five million notification on her phone, feeling a bit numb.

At the moment when Oliver Hughes grabbed her phone, Bella Woods quickly exited the chat with the male prostitute, but she wasn’t sure if Oliver Hughes had seen it.

“Bella, keep this money in your stash as Oliver’s sincere apology to you.” Cyan Marshall patted Bella Woods’ hand. “An apology can’t just be mere words.”

Bella Woods smiled obediently: “Thank you, Aunt Cyan.”

“Aunt Cyan… may I go to the restroom?” Bella Woods asked a bit shyly.

Cyan Marshall nodded: “Go ahead.”

“I’ll be back soon.”

Bella Woods greeted everyone else and then left the table.

Holding her phone, she walked down the long corridor, her eyes scanning around.

Occasionally, she glanced down at the phone screen.

Until now, there was no response from the handsome male prostitute.

Bella Woods went to the room where she had checked up earlier, but didn’t find him there. She tried calling him.

Still, no one answered.

Could he have really left?

Bella Woods walked back and forth several times along the corridor but eventually accepted the fact that he might have left long ago.

What a pity.

He didn’t get to see her triumph.

It was an unusually significant day for Bella Woods.

And just as she was gloomily preparing to return to the banquet, a hand suddenly reached out from around the corner, grabbing her wrist and pulling her into the corner. Bella Woods couldn’t help but smile.

Her body was pressed against the wall, and when she looked up, the handsome face with defined features filled her eyes.

Without another word, she grabbed him by the collar and pulled him down, as she tipped her head up to kiss.

Bella Woods had a smile on her lips, and she eagerly explored, her small tongue teasing him, intertwining, and dancing.

The kiss ended, and Bella Woods was slightly panting, her lips still glistening with moisture.

The man propped his right hand against the wall and used his left hand to wipe the moisture from her lips, snickering: “So happy?”

“I’m excited, didn’t you notice?” Bella Woods asked.

Ashton Marshall didn’t say anything, but looking at Bella Woods’ shining, beautiful eyes, his lips curved up as well: “Yeah, I noticed.”

Bella Woods’ smile was even more radiant: “Sienna.”

“Hm?”

“That ‘good friend’ of Oliver Hughes used a fake video to slander me and was taken away by the police.” Bella Woods explained what had just happened, “Also, my sister was face-slapped by Oliver Hughes for entangling him.”

“And also, Oliver Hughes knelt and apologized to me!”

Ashton Marshall quietly listened, his eyes fixed on Bella Woods’ moving lips: “Everything you taught me last night came true!”

Although he watched the whole process from behind the scenes, he had no intention of interrupting the little child’s joy at showcasing her triumph.

However, that little mouth…

It was somewhat too enticing.

His hand unconsciously moved, tracing Bella Woods’ lips downward, outlining her graceful jawline, touching, lifting it as he kissed her.

Unlike Bella Woods’ passionate eagerness when she took the initiative, the man seemed to be innately skilled in this area, his superior skills leading Bella Woods to experience the delight of kissing.

The subtle vibrato of saliva exchange and the dance of their tongues was a different kind of ecstasy for the senses.

Bella Woods was left dizzy from the kiss, almost melting into the man’s arms, but she remembered her initial purpose: “You still haven’t answered me.”

“Hmm?” Ashton Marshall raised an eyebrow, his tone puzzled.

Bella Woods pulled herself out of his embrace: “Didn’t you see the message I sent you?”

Ashton Marshall paused for two seconds, recalling Bella Woods’ message, and chuckled: “I saw it, you want to keep me.”

He had originally intended to leave.

But he saw the little girl text him, asking how much it would cost to keep him for a year.

Hmm.

It was a good question.

The Third Young Master Marshall, always in a position to guide the country, everything arranged by assistants, was also seriously considering how much it would cost to be kept for a year.

“You haven’t told me yet, how much to keep you for a year?” Bella Woods tilted her head to look at him, while adding, “I want exclusive rights.”

“Exclusive.” Ashton Marshall repeated the words thoughtfully.

Bella Woods nodded, holding Ashton’s face, admiring it: “It means I buy you out. This year, you are all mine.”

“I’m very expensive, you know?”

“I do know.”

Bella Woods shook her phone: “I’m about to become a little rich lady, I can afford it.”

With Oliver Hughes opening with five million, her parents naturally wouldn’t offer less than that.

Plus, there’s the house near the school.

Bella Woods felt that the title of little rich lady was well deserved.
