Chapter 33 It's Just The Truth

"Bella Su, this marriage is merely a perfunctory decision based on my parents' wishes. There is another girl that I love and if you were a smart woman, you would accept my proposition. You will be my nominal wife and once I succeed and achieve my goals, I will let you go back," stated Jimmy Duan callously.

"Since I married you, how can I go back?" Sitting elegantly in a wicker chair as if it was the most comfortable piece of furniture in the room, Bella inquired, although she looked a little disappointed.

"Don't worry. I will make all the arrangements and make sure that you are well taken care of." Jimmy frowned in disgust. He always found old-fashioned women to be quite troublesome, he liked his women independent and self-reliant. "Rest assured I will find a good husband for you once we are done."

"General, if what you are saying is true then, I, Bella, would like to thank you," Bella said indifferently.

"Humph!" Jimmy snorted arrogantly and walked out of the yard, his coat tails flapping in the wind.

Bella looked at the lotus bag that she had embroidered. It had a pair of mandarin ducks playing in water, symbolizing a couple in love. Now it was no longer useful so she took out her scissors and tore it into tiny little pieces.

"OK, Cut!" The director ordered, "Let's wrap up this scene."

"Yes, everyone did a wonderful job!"

"Great work, everyone!"

There was a round of applause as the crew and acting team were all excited to finish and go for food.

Mary gave a small self-deprecating smile and contemplated, 'Bella's situation may be acting, but it really reminds me so much of my own situation'.

"Mary Lu!"

All of a sudden, someone shouted her name while approaching from behind. Mary turned around and saw that it was Victor rushing towards her, although it seemed he hadn't had time to change his clothes.

"Ah, why is the general here?" Mary blinked and teased.

"I traveled through time, ha ha. What do you think? I look good in this suit, don't I?" asked Victor with a smile.

"Yes you do. I must say that you look very handsome." Mary nodded in agreement. "I'm just n

iam has been married even though you're in the same city!"

"What...? What do you mean that he has been married?"

"Wow, such an interesting piece of news. Why don't you tell us before? !"

"Yes, that's a good question. Why didn't you tell us? Is it because you look down upon us or something else?"

"I just got my marriage license. I haven't told everyone yet. I'm too busy to talk about such things," said William with a smile, staring at Frank.

"No way!" The man said, "We must drink to that! Drink up!"

"Okay, okay," said William with a smile. "If you want, I can punish myself by drinking three glasses of wine."

"William, why didn't you come with your wife here today?" Nancy asked.

"She is busy today." After downing the second glass of wine as part of his punishment, William suddenly felt that the wine he had swallowed was unbearable.

"This is not right!" The tall, thin man said, "You must have hidden her in your expensive house!"

"Ha ha," said Lucas with a smile. "If there is a chance, let her come out and meet us!"

"Sure, of course I will." Holding his glass in his hand, William smiled and drank it up.

"Excuse me, I'm going to the toilet," Frank suddenly said.

"Wait," called Lucas. "I'll go with you."

Frowning, William looked at Lucas with a warning meaning in his eyes, but Lucas pretended not to see him.

The two of them walked out of the box. However, when William was about to chase after them, he was pulled by several of his friends and offered another drink.

"Frank, stop pestering William." After passing through the door, Lucas said without beating around the bush.

"You should go and tell him." Frank sneered, "If he wants me to leave, then I'll leave."

"You obviously know he feels guilty! Don't think that you can keep him," said Lucas while glaring at Frank.

Lucas gave him a cold stare and then went into the restroom. 'I'm the only one who knows what had happened between you and Frank. William, if I don't help you, who else can? Even if you think I should not mind your business, I'll stop you from damaging your own future!' thought Lucas.
