Chapter 388: 388: Spare Tire
Bella Thompson felt deeply unsettled, she was terrified of the truth being uncovered.
Bella’s hand trembled unconsciously, her upper and lower lips also involuntarily quivered.
She couldn’t allow those two bastards to ruin everything she’d painstakingly acquired… Suddenly, Bella Thompson’s face turned from pale to fierce, her eyes filled with terror.
The malice buried within Bella began to silently cloak the fear in her heart.
Sebastian Thompson soothed with patience: “Sis, you can’t panic, we can’t be confused, we can’t crumble mentally. It’s been twenty-eight years, Ella Charles and Joseph Charles haven’t reappeared, they definitely won’t appear in the future, don’t let Daniel Marshall scare you.”
Her brother was right, those two bastards had disappeared twenty-eight years ago and had never showed up since, they certainly wouldn’t reappear, she couldn’t frighten herself like this.
She must remain calm!
She had to stabilize!
Bella took a deep breath, doing her best to control her emotions.
“Sebastian, you need to be careful of James Marshall, he’s the one who tipped me off, he’s also suspecting what happened back then.”
“Sis, don’t worry, no matter how they investigate this matter, they won’t trace it back to you, I’ll take the full responsibility, I won’t let anyone harm you or Matthew Marshall. Even if the day to confront comes, you can put everything on me, they won’t be able to do a thing to you then.”
Bella’s eyes moistened, her voice became hoarse, “Sebastian…”
“Sis, it was you who took care of us all these years, it was you who upheld the Thompson family. Without you, I wouldn’t be here today, it’s only right for me to do this for you and Matthew. Only if you two are safe and well, can we contend for the Marshall Corporation, only then can we continue taking care of the Thompson family, therefore, you and Matthew can’t have any accidents.”
With such a thoughtful brother, Bella felt deeply gratified. She blinked a few times, ridding her eyes of gathering tears.
“The Thompson family won’t fail, I, Bella Thompson, will surely rise from the ashes, I will certainly reclaim everything that belongs to us.”
“Let Daniel Marshall investigate all he wants, I won’t let him discover anything. If he won’t let it go, we’ll feed him false information, then he’ll clearly know that his mother was a promiscuous woman.”
“Sebastian, I trust you to protect Matthew and me, this is a really good idea, we should retaliate against Daniel this way.”
“Sis, calm your emotions, don’t let Matthew see anything, don’t let him worry about you. Let’s not let him know about this, our hands are stained, let’s handle it by ourselves.”
“I understand, Sebastian, thank you!”
“Don’t say such courteous words, focus on taking care of Matthew.”
Bella nodded, then ended the call, her heart finally feeling somewhat better.
There was a traffic jam on the highway, it was unknown when it’d be cleared, so Olivia Jenkins took the nearest exit.
Only a few kilometers into the rural road, Olivia suddenly felt that something was wrong with the car.
She found a suitable spot and stopped the car to check.
The car tires had been punctured by nails-two tires at that!
There was only one spare tire in the trunk, so Valerie Howard replaced the one with the most damage first.
Olivia focused on the road, whenever she saw a passing car, she would wave her hand to signal the driver to stop.
Several cars drove by, none of them acknowledged Olivia.
Suddenly, a Land Rover stopped in front of Olivia.
Olivia looked through the windshield and recognized the driver, it was Benjamin Johnson.
Instantly, Olivia’s eyes underwent a subtle change, and her face darkened.
Benjamin Johnson asked from the window, “Do you need my help?”
