Chapter 149
Hearing this, Chase frowned.
Hmph, the Song family!
He knew the Song family was arrogant to begin with, but he never expected them to be so foolish!This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
When the Song family heard Ethan’s proposal, their eyes immediately lit up.
“Yes! What Ethan said is right! If you’re gonna go that far, you might as well go all the way and take the Heption Herbs off our hands!”
“After all, we have let you live as a member of the Song family for so many years, it’s time to pay your dues.”
“It’s better to sacrifice one sheep than the whole flock. The more debts you have, the less reason you have to worry. Bella, this is your opportunity to contribute to the Song family.”
Bella’s face turned several shades paler.
The Song family members were ruthless, vicious, and greedy. All of them looked just like a hoard of cannibalistic villains!
“Chase, please go.” Bella implored Chase.
Chase grabbed the snakeskin bag on the table and turned to leave the house.
However, the Song family swiftly surrounded Chase.
“Crash!” The sound of shattering glass rang true.
Everyone turned around.
Turned out, Bella just smashed a glass cup.
She picked up a shard of glass and walked over nonchalantly.
She put herself between Chase and the Song family as she threatened, “I’d like to see who is brave enough to stop you from leaving!”
Her eyes blazed as she turned to Chase. She was putting her own life on the line to shield Chase!
Chase nodded and strode out.
The Song family looked at the fragment
glimmering in Bella’s hand and started chastising her indignantly.
“Let it be known at once! This matter will have nothing to do with the Song family!”
Rosaline glowered at Bella with overflowing hatred. “Don’t blame me, Bella. It’s you who brings this upon yourself!”
Ethan left immediately to execute Rosaline’s order.
As he left, his expression turned to that of contempt.
“We won’t let you off the hook so easily!”
He scowled at Bella as he thought, “You little b*tch, if you want to become a saint, I will make you into one!”
An hour later, the news spread throughout the city.
Bella would buy up any Heption Herb with her own personal money!
Anyone and everyone could come to her. She would buy all of them!
Ethan deliberately allowed the news of Bella’s acquisition to propagate throughout the entire city.
And to it, he added his own take. He told everyone that there would be no limits in Bella’s acquisition! This meant that Bella would buy all Heption Herbs in Golden City!
The whole city fell into disarray Companies who blindly bought up the herbs when it was trending and were now worrying about their rotting stock were particularly delighted to hear the news.
Everyone rushed forth to sell off their herbs In no time at all, the outside of Bella’s house as swarmed with people!
Everyone was clamoring for her to show herself.
“Hey! Aren’t you going to buy the Heption Herbs? I’ve brought mine here in my cart.
Hurry up now and buy it,” a man in a suit yelled.
Another chimed in, “You’re not trying to fool all of us here, are you? Do you know the consequences of offending all the pharmaceutical companies in Golden City?”
“Bella Song, come out! NOW!”
One by one, they all shouted at the top of their voices.
Bella listened to the chaos outside, trapped between a rock and a hard place.
How did things turn out like this!
She clearly said that she only wanted to buy the herbs from the farmers. Why did so many other companies come forward?
Seeing Bella at a loss, the Song family danced with glee!
How dared this b*tch try to look like a savior?
of course the Song family wouldn’t let her have the easy way!
They would see how she followed through with her act. This was her punishment for posing as a saint in front of them!
The Song family watched in anticipation as to how Bella would face the crowd outside.
Fortunately, they had already renounced all ties with her. These people were obviously here for Bella only.
The Song family was extremely pleased with themselves.
The crowd grew agitated as they waited for Bella to appear.
They started venting their frustrations by launching rocks at the door.
A person was seen walking over.
“Hey, isn’t that Daniel of the Zhao family Why is he here?”
Smugly curling into a smile, Daniel took in the beautiful mess outside the Song family’s doorstep.
Everything was going according to plan.
Oh, Song family, you are finally at your wit’s end, Daniel celebrated inwardly.
He did not expect to see Bella do such a foolish thing at this point in time. She was indeed a halfwit!
“Haha, even the heavens are helping me.”
Daniel chortled as he looked up at the sky.
“Very well then. I should help toss in the final pebble to collapse their bridge!”
Daniel brought along with him a group of reporters.
The latter was already howling profusely at their doorstep.
“Miss Bella, I know you’re inside. Can you come out and accept our interview?”
Another reporter asked, “Why did you claim that you want to procure all the herbs in the city? Why are you not meeting the sellers at your doorstep?”
Then a man with a camera on his shoulder shouted, “Are you trying to use this event as a way to publicize your company?” The lady beside him echoed, “Was it the Song family who taught you this marketing strategy? To step on other people’s wounds and bring glamor to yourself?”
When the reporter’s voices fell onto the ears of the Song family, they were all alarmed!
How could they drag the rest of the Song family into this mess!
If these reporters warped the facts, it would be catastrophic for them!
Ethan said to Bella vehemently, “D*mn! Even the reporters are here now! Go out there and appease them! You’re the one they want!”
The Songs murmured in agreement one after another, “Go out and explain quickly. All of this is your fault. It has nothing to do with the Song family at all.”
“If you don’t go out now, you will bring shame upon the Song family. Go out now!”
Staring at the group of people before her, Bella’s eyes turned moist at once. All she had for them was a question. “Do you know what will happen if I go out?”
If she did, she would be drowned in the blame and censure of these rebels on the spot!
However, Rosaline answered apathetically.”Just go out! They can’t kill you, can they? But if you don’t, the Song family’s reputation will be tarnished further! Ethan, open the door!”
Bella’s heart fell straight down to her feet Was there even any reputation left for the Song family to care about?
Bella could not help but sympathize with this bunch of absurd ruffians all of a sudden.
All of them were cunning, unkind; all they did was throwing scorns at her!
“How much more time would it need to take to wake you guys up… Bella laughed piteously and then strode out of the house without looking back.
When the crowd outside saw Bella, they immediately gathered around her, asking Bella to uphold her offer and take all of their Heption Herbs The reporters, however, were bombarding her questions as if she was in interrogations.
Watching Bella tremble with fear, Daniel soared silently. He motioned to the people around him to be quiet and asked, “Bella, didn’t you say you would buy all the herbs? We still have 10, 000 kilograms on hand, please take it with you.”
Bella was appalled!
Ten thousand kilograms!
The Zhao family was well prepared indeed!
Seeing Bella’s mouth was left agape, Daniel grinned.
If she was going to decline the acquisition her reputation would sour. She would become notorious throughout the city at oncel
If she upheld her offer, he was convinced that the Song family would be incapable of shouldering such a tremendous financial burden. She would lose everything in the end!
She was now trapped. Regardless of which way she chose, she would have to pay a huge price!
“What will you do now?” Daniel mussed with glee.
Daniel walked up to Bella, and mocked her in a cheerful tone, “If you kneel down and beg me, I’ll help you. I’ll even help the Song family to get through this difficulty. Bella felt the world spinning around her..
She was already weak with rising fever.
All of a sudden, her body went light before her knees gave way!
Right at that moment, a figure rushed over and supported her gently.
Bella opened her eyes using all her strength. Tears formed on her cheeks as she looked at the person before her.
When she opened her mouth, she could not stop sobbing!
This was the first time in her life that she had made a request to Chase in such a helpless manner!
“Chase, help me…”
Her tears glistened under his gaze. “Help me !”
