Chapter 269 - Envy

Liu Cheng’er trembled under Mo Li’s gaze. Her face blanched, her heart raced as sweat trickled on her forehead. No matter how she looked at it, Mo Li’s evidence was obvious. Bella didn’t do it. "Mo Li... if it wasn’t Bella then..."

"Simple, someone hacked her computer remotely." Mo Li said, confidence laced his voice. "Then, the question now is... how could they do that? The security of the company when it comes to these attacks was impeccable. We are spending millions per year on our cybersecurity software, and this is the current top software in the market. So, how could they easily hack it?" Mo Li smiled at everything. "The answer is pretty simple. One of the executives gave the person her or his password, giving her access to her computer remotely. From there... the hacker than stole the information on Bella’s computer."

Liu Cheng’er clenched her fist tighter. A foreboding feeling hit her like a tsunami. She shook the thoughts out of her head. That man is even more prominent than Mo Li. Surely, he could hire someone that could cover their tracks, right? With this in mind, Liu Cheng’er tried to keep herself calm. Losing control is akin to accepting Mo Li’s accusations.

"Mo Li, can you trace it?"

"Of course," Mo Li nodded at his father. Then, without saying anything else, he started typing a series of codes. For a few minutes, silence descended on the room. The tapping sound of the keyboard made the room more suffocating, intimidating. It was as if everyone was afraid to make a sound to disturb Mo Li. "This right here is the password that was used to access the computer remotely." He smirked. "Now, do I need to pinpoint whose computer it is from? Or... Are you finally going to say something about it?" Once again, Mo Li’s gaze turned towards Liu Cheng’er. "Liu Cheng’er, I couldn’t believe that you would actually work with my father to secretly frame my wife and obtain such information that could easily damage that company I worked hard for." Mo Li’s words weren’t loud. However, it contained something that made everyone tensed. It was the authority mixed with disappointment and fury.

Even Bella couldn’t help but stare at Mo Li. For some reason, she found this tone familiar — too familiar. It made her felt like she had heard this tone before.

"Mo Li... I didn’t do anything wrong!" Of course, Liu Cheng’er wasn’t planning to accept these accusations. "I am not working with Mr. Mo and I never betrayed you!"

"She is right Mo Li." Mo Li’s father said, he gritted his teeth as anger swirled in his orbs. "Do you really think so lowly of me? How could I do that to your company?" Moreover, he wanted Mo Li to win the election! Why would he do something like this?

"I am done," Mo Li said. "The company is done." Dejection filled the atmosphere. "My lawyer will reach out to each of you. I will sell my shares and formally submit my resignation tomorrow. " He shoved his hands on his pocket and met his father’s eyes. "Our deal is done."

This was killing two enemies with one bullet.

Bella fought the urge to laugh out loud when she heard her husband’s voice. It was just too much to handle. Mo Li was actually so fearless! He didn’t hesitate to give up his company to break the deal with his father and cut ties with the Mo Family. This man... Bella also stood as he closed Mo Li’s laptop while wondering what kind of man would just let go of his company?

Bella immediately knew that Mo Li is actually more complicated than any character in this world.

In normal dramas or novels, a character like Mo Li would do everything to save his company. He could easily become a villain just for his beloved company to survive. So, seeing Mo Li acting like this is just... too much. He was acting something that is not included in the script!

"Mo Li! Are you going to abandon this company? Are you crazy?" Mo Li’s mother walked towards Mo Li, her eyes already red from anger. "How could you even do something like that? I watched you worked day and night just for this damn company and you are just going to abandon this like that? What about your father’s dreams? Are you just— "

Mo Li sneered. "The news about my Mo Family releasing the news is already trending. Do you think my father’s dreams about me winning the election will still happen? Right now, everyone thinks I am working with my father because of my ambitions." Mo Li calmly said. Of course, he couldn’t really tell them that his only goal was to marry his Lily.

Not a single richness in this world is comparable to his Lily.

Now that he already got what he wanted, Mo Li didn’t hesitate to let go of everything so he could support her.

"You — You actually— "

"Bingbing... let him go. We are all fuming right now. Let him leave this place and calm down." His father’s stern words interrupted Zhang Bingbing. "We are leaving as well!" He stood from his seat and walked out of the room without paying attention to anyone else. This scandal was too big for him alone to handle, so he needed to ask for his subordinates’ help to stop it.

"You better not submit any resignation and let your father solve this matter!" Zhang Bingbing hissed before she turned towards Bella. "Since you came, all the bad luck happened to my son! You should be careful! Who knows...what kind of bad luck would happen to you soon!" Then she stomped her feet and leave the room along with Mo Li’s grandmother.

Seeing them gone, Mo Li held Bella’s hand, and the two went to his office.

"Are you sure you will resign?" Bella asked, confused.

"Of course!" He beamed, the authoritative voice that he had earlier completely vanished. "Why? Are you going to divorce me once I lose my money?"

She frowned. "No."

"Then what will you do?" He pulled her, letting her sit on his lap. Then Mo Li hugged her.

"I will help you earn it all."

"Hm?"

"The money that you lost," she uttered. "I will help you earn it back." She didn’t study business, but for some reason, she was confident that she could help him save this business.

"Too troublesome," Mo Li smiled. "I don’t want to earn it back."

"Oh," Bella nodded. "Then... what are you going to do?"

"I am just planning to become your assistant."

"Without you, I won’t have a job."

"Exactly." Mo Li said. "You won’t have a job. Meaning, your assistant doesn’t have a job too. So, we will stay at home together."

She frowned. She could sense some excitement in her voice. This... This was far from the usual script. According to the drama logic, this should be the part where they plan and scheme against people. Why was he talking about staying at home together?

As if sensing her thoughts, Mo Li laughed. "Even without the company, I still have a lot of money and investments, so you shouldn’t worry about this matter. Just stay with me and we will be alright."

Her lips thinned. "That statement is not so assuring." Smiling, Bella folded her arm on his neck. "But if you really want us to stay at home, then I have no problems. We can just travel the world together."

"Actually, that sounds like a very good idea. Here..." Mo Li suddenly reached out to his drawer and gave her a piece of paper. "I already listed the countries that we can visit together. I finished this a year ago so there should be some updated hotels and..."

"A year ago?" Bella’s eyebrow lifted.

"Yes, I also arranged it based on your preference, weather, and other stuff that you like. This is — " The rest of Mo Li’s words echoed inside her head like a tolling bell. A year ago, Mo Li and Bella haven’t met yet. Was he planning everything before she even agreed to marry him? Now that she thought about it, everything that Mo Li did so far was so he could spend time with her.

First was coming to the university to recruit her. Mo Li wasn’t planning to win the election so there is actually no need for him to recruit someone like her. Then, he actually agreed to run for office just so his father wouldn’t disturb his marriage. And now, this.

The list that he created a year ago.

Bella read the list and smiled. For some reason, she is starting to feel a bit of envy for the original Bella. Who would have thought that someone like Mo Li actually loved a woman like Bella? This body wasn’t really that outstanding. She wasn’t pretty and her body was too slim. Moreover, she was divorced!

And yet Mo Li unconditionally loved her and waited for her. He even went as much as scheme everything and destroyed his own company just to get out of the Mo Family’s clutches and enjoy their time together.

This... This Bella was truly too lucky to have a Mo Li in her life.
