Dax could only shake his head as he took
his iPad and sat on the couch. However, some
Minutes later, a soft knock was heard on the
door.
-Dax, can I come in? -He frowned when he heard his mother’s voice.
«Has he finished talking to Grandpa?» she wondered, looking towards the door.
-Yes mom. Enters. -He said.
-Hello, Dax. What have you been doing? Are you playing any games? -Bella asked when she saw him on the couch with an iPad in his hand.
“Hmm,” he said calmly and showed her the iPad screen. I play chess online.
-Oh, are you learning to play chess so you can play with grandpa? -Bella asked as she sat on the couch.

-No. To be honest no. I’m just bored waiting
here.
-Eh…really? Why’s that? Don’t you like this room? Do you want to move to another room? Bella asked.
-It’s nothing in particular. And Mom, the room is fine. By the way, I thought you sent me
room because you wanted to talk to Grandpa alone. Why are you already here? -Dax sighed deeply before saying.
His gaze returned to his iPad. Seeing the username bitter_coffee, his gaming friend now plays online chess with him. This move by bitter_coffee made him angry.
<<Why couldn’t he keep five plays? Tsk! As the days go by, playing with him becomes less and less fun. He vented his anger internally.
Dax decided to log out; He didn’t want to continue playing. He wrote something in the in-game chat.
[X4D] I have to go!!
[Bitter Coffee] So fast? Come on! How about a nên tinh mỏn

[X4D] Nah! Not until you improve your skills. Starting to play with you is boring me, buddy!
[Bitter Coffee] What?!
[X4D] ¡HBLP!
Dax turns off his iPad and places it on his lap.
Bella was speechless upon hearing his words.
-Haha, so you know? Did Grandma Noora tell you? -Dax asked.
-No. I can tell just by looking at your expression, Mom.
-Oh, I’m sorry, Dax. I really needed time to talk to your Great-Grandfather alone. That’s why I asked Noor to bring you here – Bella couldn’t hide anything from him if he started asking for answers.
Because of this, Bella was grateful that Dax never asked about her father. She would have told him about Tristan if he had asked her a long time ago.
Mommy… -Dax’s face became serious when he saw Bella. You can ask me nicely, Mom. If you say so, I’ll give you some time alone with Grandpa, no problem…
he smiled.

-Oh really? But you didn’t even listen to me when I asked you to sit alone! -Bella wanted to say that, but she held back. Instead she said:
– It’s okay, Dax. Thank you. By the way, do you like this place? -He changed the subject, not wanting to discuss what he was discussing with his grandfather.
-Yeah. This place looks like our cabin in Sweden. So I like the view. And there’s Grandpa too… -The shine in his eyes lit up.
–I’m glad you like it here. Did you know you can go fishing with great-grandpa after lunch? The frozen lake has many fish. I think you
will love it… -Bella remembered that her son always went fishing every winter with Noora in the lake behind their cabin.
-Yeah. I already know that. “Grandpa had already told me,” she nodded slightly and smiled.
-Okay, I’ll go to my room. You can continue playing your game. And remember, we will eat in an hour, -Bella said and left.

After a warm and delicious lunch, Dax and Old Donovan went fishing in the frozen lake behind the village. Bella stayed in her room, absorbed in reading documents about business maps in Astington that Jack had sent.
Bella began reading about the business situation in this country because several years had passed since she was no longer active in that field due to being a housewife. So, there were a lot of changes happening and she needed to learn about them before she could start working.
-Wow… a lot of things have happened in the last nine years, huh? “Bella,” she murmured, reading the list of the five giant corporations in this country, which had now changed.
The first place remains Sinclair Corp after they replaced the Spencer Group from the number one position. Spencer moved to second place because they were now more focused on politics and the military.
In other words, two families rule this country. The Sinclair Family controls the business affairs, while Spencer handles the political and

military.
Bella feels a chill when she realizes that she has become entangled with these two powerful families. Tristan Sinclair was her Ex-Husband, and Sean Spencer was her
future.
Sigh!
However, what surprised Bella were the new companies, Dream Inc. and Grupo Wilson. These two startups are now in the top five.
Dream Inc. is in third place, while Grupo Wilson is in fifth on the list. She knew about them; This company is owned by a young and influential couple, Evan Collins and Rose Spencer. *
Bella is interested in Rose Spencer because she is Sean’s long-lost cousin and has now become the owner of the Wilson Group.
-What geniuses! They are now ranked in the Top
“Five,” Bella marveled.
Bella is scanning the list of companies, looking for her company’s position. What she saw surprised her.
-What the hell? Who the hell did Jack put

company charge here? More than five years, but they are not even in the top 25! -Bella couldn’t help but vent her frustration upon reading Quantum Capital at rank 27 on the list.
-Heavens! Is this the reason why Jack forced me to immediately return to managing the company and move Quantum Capital up the ranks? -She could only shake her head, amused by her poor performance.
company.
Bella continued reading about the company’s plans for the next five years.
-Jack, Jack… Now, can you give me a goal of putting our company in the top 10 in five years? -Bella couldn’t help but laugh when she thought Jack was punishing her for slacking off too long.
How complicated!

Bella continued reading all the data Jack sent. But soon after, she heard Noora’s voice from
outside.
“Come in,” Bella said, looking toward the door. She was startled to see Noora’s face pale as a sheet of paper. Worried that something terrible had happened, she quickly put down her iPad and hurried to her side.
-Auntie, why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost? – She asked.
“M-Miss… Someone is looking for you,” Noora’s voice trembled as she held Bella’s hand.
-Is anyone looking for me? -Bella was confused.
How could anyone know I was in this house? However, a moment later, something crossed her mind. Only one person could make Noora so nervous like that. It was Tristan Sinclair.
“How could Tristan know we were here?” he wondered.
unexpected guests
-Yes, young lady. Mr. Sinclair, he’s in the living room… -Bella’s heart sank upon hearing that. What she had guessed was correct.
-How could Tristan find us so quickly? -She can’t meet him now.
“Young M-Miss…” Bella interrupted, “Auntie, I know… this must be my cheeky uncle’s fault!” They must have contacted Tristan and made another business deal. They sold information about me to Tristan; That’s why he was able to find me so quickly! -Bella, she felt furious, -If they really did that, I will never forget them, she gritted her teeth.
-Young Miss, you misunderstood. I mean, and
what
“The search is not for Tristan Sinclair, but for Old Sincla,” Noora quickly explained, worried that Bella would complain to her uncle.
Bella was speechless.
-My God! Aunt, you should have told me clearly – Ella
She took a deep breath, relieved.
-Miss, I tried to tell you, but you interrupted me.
