Chapter 997

Jack was surprised that Bella knew about Genesis Games. But when he thought more deeply about it, it wasn't all that surprising. After all, Genesis Games had been a household name once upon a time. Perhaps Clarice had a change of heart one day and told Bella everything?

Bella had sought him out because she wanted him to be a decoy, causing Jack to frown. "I don't mind helping you, but Genesis Games has been acquired, so I'm not worth ten billion dollars anymore. Your mother might not approve. Besides, don't you still have a fiancé?"

"You've already proven yourself! Mom is also beginning to regret her actions. As long as you're willing to help me, I'll definitely be able to get the household register. As for my fiancé, you'll find out about him when the time comes."

Bella added, "Of course, if you're unwilling, it's fine too. I won't force you."

Although she said she wasn't going to force him to fulfill her request, her eyes clearly dimmed. The curve of her lips looked stiff as if she was forcing herself to smile.

"I'll help you this one time."

In the end, Jack wasn't able to resist. He would help her this one last time as a farewell to her. After all, since he wasn't able to take care of Bella personally, he could only find someone else to take his place in loving her.

Now that this person had appeared, Jack should support her. Even though Jack had never been very open when it came to his feelings, he knew he couldn't have his cake and eat it too. He had to make a choice.

"Really?" Bella exclaimed, her eyes glittering with surprise.

Jack nodded seriously. "Feel free to call me when you need me."

"Okay! I'll call you when the time comes."

Bella pulled out her phone and added Jack's number into the device.

"See you around."

Jack turned on his heel, carrying a few bottles of red wine as he took his leave.

Bella nodded at him. She maintained a light smile on her face as she watched Jack until he disappeared from her line of sight. Her smile turned stiff then, eventually replaced with a despaired expression.

More than ten minutes had passed when Jack made it back to Feena's room. She was sitting on the couch and watching television. When she noticed Jack's return, she shot to her feet and saidana coy voice, "You were gone for a long time."

Jack pondered for a moment before deciding that he shouldn't hide the fact that he had run into Bella from Feena. He explained, "I bumped into Bella the corridor, so I chatted with her for a while. These red wines are actually from her room. .net

"What did you talk about?" Feena asked softly.

Although she pretended to be nonchalant, she was actually hanging onto his every word.

"She said she might marry her boyfriend after they graduate."

"Oh!"

Feena gave Jack a onceover. Her smile didn't reach her eyes when she asked, "Did the two of you do anything intimate after running into each other?"

"No. I just drank some wine in her room. She said she had something on her mind, so I sat with her for a little while."

"Actually, I know what happened because I watched both of you through the peephole just now."

Feena took Jack's hand and murmured, "Still, I'm very happy that you told me."

She walked over to the wine cabinet and pulled out two glasses. She gave them a quick rinse before

pouring the wine into both glasses. She then pulled Jack with her to the balcony so they could enjoy the scenery together.

"Darling, let's have a toast!" Feena exclaimed, raising her glass.

Jack clinked his glass with hers and was about to have a sip when Feena yelled, "Wait!"

He looked at her in confusion. She extended her arm and looped it around his before saying, "Let's drink from each other's glasses, okay? Once we do that, I'll be yours!"

Gazing into Feena's big and shimmering eyes, Jack felt his heart throb. He nodded in agreement.
