William wasn’t there, so she spent some time looking at her phone.
Lucas Bell had messaged her a few minutes earlier.
She called him back.
“How’s the Bell family situation being handled?”
“It’s okay. My brother-in-law found someone to help me, and Uncle Stone also lent a hand. It’s mostly managed now, but…” Lucas was still young, he sighed, “My dad blew up when he found out I filed for bankruptcy.”
“Did he scold you?”
“He knew the company couldn’t be saved but still dragged his feet, refusing to lose face even if it meant suffering.”
Lucas had no one else to confide in, apart from his therapist, so he could only complain to Zoe Bell for a bit.
She listened quietly, offering him a few words of comfort now and then.
“Sis, how are things at the Hale family? Are they treating you well?”
“I’m fine.”
“If mom and dad call you, don’t pick up. My dad’s gone crazy, thinking you encouraged me to file for the company’s bankruptcy. Just ignore him.”
Kevin Bell was not resigned.
At that time, he was undergoing surgery and was unconscious for a while. Lucas took advantage of this time, using his ill health as a reason, to take over managing the company affairs, as somebody needed to oversee the work.
So, when he woke up, he was furious enough to jump to his feet.
One leg had surgery, so he couldn’t easily get out of bed, and he lay there cursing up a storm.
About ten minutes after hanging up the phone, the door was pushed open from the outside.
She closed her eyes, pretending to sleep.
Her hearing became exponentially sharper.
She clearly heard William Hale’s footsteps getting closer and soon, the automatic curtains slowly drew close, enveloping the room in a somber darkness.
