Chapter 104 Not a Good Person

Lia grabbed Leonard by his tie, yanking the tall man down and forcing him to bend over, Funing, she snapped,

"You're not a good person! Get out of my way!"

Leonard's expression darkened. "What did you say? How am | not a good person?

Seeing things escalate, Bella quickly pulled Lia back. "Lia let it go. Let's just leave."

Lla shot Amber, who was visibly shaken, a deadly glare before snorting and turning away. She took Bella's hand

as they left.

Amber was trembling with anger. "Dominic, did you see that? They're absolute shrews!"

Dominic rubbed his temples. "You're not much better yourself. If you hadn't gone to the hospital to look for Bella,

none of this would've happened, right?"

Amber, caught off guard and clearly in the wrong, paled but said nothing. She suppressed her frustration as she

turned and got back into the car.

Watching Lia and Bella walk away, Leonard mattered to Dominic, "How am | not a good person?"

Dominic blinked, confused as to why Leonard was dwelling on this. "You were facing Lia with your back to Amber.

Of course, it looked like you were protecting Amber."

Leonard adjusted his crooked tie, locking perplexed "Since when does breaking up a tight require such attention

to detail? | was just.... "He stopped mid-sentence and sighed. "Forget it. I'm heading back"

On the way back to the apartment, Lia ranted about Amber the entire ride. While Bella was grateful for having

such a loyal friend, she couldn't help but ask, "Actually, Leonard's not a bad guy.... Why did you yell at him?"

Lia scoffed. "Because he protected Amber behind him! | was being nice enough by not clawing him! Didn't you

see how pitiful Amber made herself look, acting all innocent and fragile? These bitches are always surrounded by

guys rushing to defend them. Just for that, | think Leonard's not worth much!"

Bella was momentarily speechless. To be fair, Lia wasn't wrong

After Leonard separated them, he shielded Amber, making Bella uneasy. But she couldn't help worrying about

Leonard's reaction when he was insulted. Usually, he had a laid-back, good-natured demeanor, but his facial

expression had changed this time. Then again, thinking it over, there was nothing to worry about. He wasn't the

The following day, Bella was still fast asleep when her phone rang. It was Dominic calling, saying he was

downstairs at her apartment.

She hung up and glanced outside. It was still early, just past 7:00 am, and the sun hadn't fully risen yet.

Though she wasn't sure why he had cso suddenly, she figured it was a good opportunity to return the

expensive gift he had given her the day before. Slowly, she made her way downstairs.

When she reached his car and was about to hand him the gift box, he suddenly passed a paper bag through the

window. "Your stuff."

She hesitated before taking it, then peeked inside. It was underwear, and she was stunned. She had only been

joking the previous night. -who would have thought he'd actually bring it?

She had been out of Miller Manor for over a month now. Didn't he know that she would have already bought new

clothes? Did he seriously not understand how often women changed their underwear? She had never expected

him to take the comment seriously.... Seeing her frozen, he asked, "Isn't that it? | searched through your closet,

and that's all | could find."

Bella's face flushed with embarrassment. The thought that he had handled her intimate clothing made her feel

hot all over, yet he remained as calm and composed as ever.

For sreason, she chickened out. She didn't dare pull out the

box to return it.

Perhaps it was because she knew he would be angry, and with the current mood, making him mad felt out of

After a long pause, she finally muttered, "Thanks... Sorry to trouble you."

Dominic looked at her; his gaze was deep, like the ocean. "Why are you always so polite?"
