Chapter 175
Kevin confessed, "I really don't want to go on any more blind dates. If this keeps up, I'm going to be crazy. I sent your photo to my dad and told him I like you. Later, we can just say we're not compatible and break up."
"How can that be! Finding a girlfriend is that easy? You wish! Do you think I'm that cheap?"
Kevin looked at her helplessly, who was truly in awe of women. "I don't really let you be my girlfriend. Fine, what do you suggest?"
"Buy me a bouquet of roses and a purse or some clothes. Not only can you take photos, but we can also take a picture together. That would be more convincing, right?"
'This is too much!' Kevin thought to himself but agreed out loud, "Alright, since you're Mrs. Neville's friend, let's go!"
After making a call to the technical department manager to explain some things, Kevin left the coffee shop with Bella.
Bella enthusiastically took Kevin to Sunrise International Shopping Mall, picked out a purse she had long desired, and handed it to Kevin. "Here, I don't need the roses. Just buy this!"
Kevin looked at the uniquely designed purse in his hand and walked to the cashier without a word. He was a bit surprised at the price, only a few thousand dollars, when he thought it would be tens of thousands.
Bella took the beautifully packaged handbag, kissed it happily, and thought Kevin was quite generous. "Hey, Kevin, if you buy me a purse like this every month, I'll consider being your girlfriend, how about that?"
Kevin said irritably, "Just purses can buy you? Don't you like Mr. Neville? Are you planning to date two people at once? Do you think I'm stupid?"
Bella looked at him seriously. "Elliot and I broke up a long time ago, and I think you are a bit stupid." If he wasn't stupid, why would he buy such an expensive thing for someone unrelated to him?
This was the first time Kevin had been called stupid by a woman, and he got angry. He stretched out his long arm and wrapped it around Bella's neck, as if he was going to strangle her. "Hurry up and take the photo. My dad has called several times already!"
Bella broke free from his arm. "Hey, are you trying to murder me?"
Kevin didn't let go of her, glared at her, and took out his phone to open the camera for a selfie.
Bella cooperated, and they took a few photos together. Just as they were about to separate, a familiar voice came. "Kevin and Bella together?"
They turned to see Michael and his assistant.
Kevin slowly let go of Bella and straightened his clothes. "Mr. Wright, what a coincidence."
Michael looked them up and down and sneered, "What would Agnes think if she knew her husband was so close to Bella?"
Michael's words left Bella confused. What did this have to do with Agnes? When did she have a close relationship with Leopold?
Kevin smiled. "This is our private matter, no need to trouble you, Mr. Wright."
Michael gave Bella a contemptuous look. "Agnes considers you a good friend, how can you steal her husband?"
"Hey, Michael, watch your words. When do I have a close relationship with Mr. Neville?" Before she finished her words, Kevin immediately covered Bella's mouth, but it was too late.
Michael's eyes were full of confusion when he heard her words. "Leopold?"
Bella opened her mouth but couldn't speak, glaring at Michael. She thought Michael already knew Agnes married Leopold.
"Mr. Wright, if there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now!" Kevin grabbed Bella and quickly dragged her away, leaving Michael standing there in deep thought.
Michael, who had developed the Wright Group so well in a short time and established himself in Lumina City, naturally had his strengths. At this moment, just hearing Bella's words he began to recall his previous encounters with Agnes.
Moreover, recent news reported that Leopold took his wife to Beacon City for New Year's, and Agnes happened to be in Beacon City at the same time.
This coincidence made Michael instantly understand something. Agnes' husband was not Kevin but Leopold?
If this was true, then her wearing a priceless diamond ring at that party, being protected by Ethan and Leroy, and suddenly becoming the legal person and largest shareholder of Wonderhaven Private Club, all had a reasonable explanation. Only Leopold had the means to completely change Agnes in a short time, making her a prominent figure in Lumina City's business world.
No wonder he couldn't see any love in Agnes and Kevin's eyes. Until this moment, Michael realized how foolish he had been. This discovery made his face turn pale.
Even if he knew Agnes married Kevin, Michael still believed he had a chance to win her back. But now, he was wrong. Agnes' real husband was the business tycoon Leopold.
Michael clenched his fists, unwilling to believe that Leopold would choose Agnes as his partner.
Even though he didn't think Agnes was lacking, he stubbornly believed there was an unspeakable secret between her and Leopold, or Leopold had some hidden reason, which also explained why Leopold kept his marriage a secret and didn't want to reveal his wife's identity.
Michael immediately called Agnes to confirm but found her phone was off and couldn't get through no matter how hard he tried.
After leaving Sunrise International Shopping Mall, Bella directly questioned Kevin, "Hey, what do you mean, why did you stop me from talking just now?"
Kevin looked back to make sure Michael didn't follow, sighed, and answered, "Don't you know that Mr. and Mrs. Neville are secretly married?"
"Of course I know! Agnes and I are good friends!"
"Then do you know that Mrs. Neville once used marriage as an excuse to reject Michael?"
Bella nodded, acknowledging she knew, and asked, "So what are you trying to say?"
"Now Mr. Neville treats her with utmost care, wanting to tell the world she's his wife! The reason for the secret marriage is Mrs. Neville's decision. To let them live peacefully and happily, I've been pretending to be her partner. Only by making everyone think I'm her husband can this be reasonably explained."
Bella was confused. "What's the connection here?"
