His innocent wife is a dangerous hacker. Chapter 889 Condition
Previously on His innocent wife is a dangerous hacker....
Bella closed her eyes for a moment in pain.
The lawyer’s voice grew quieter.
Bella wiped a tear from her cheek.
The lawyer continued.
Jacob looked down. Roman’s jaw tightened. Ashton listened carefully.
The lawyer paused.
Jacob’s expression changed.
The lawyer looked at the next paragraph.
Bella’s heart skipped. She already knew.
The lawyer looked directly at her.
Her eyes widened. Her breath caught.
Bella’s eyes immediately overflowed with tears.
The lawyer continued reading.
Bella covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking with silent sobs.
Leo’s expression softened as he watched her. He gently rubbed her back.
William’s letter continued.
The lawyer’s voice became firmer.
"And I have one final condition."
Jacob looked up. Roman’s expression became tense. Ashton swallowed hard.
The lawyer paused.
The room became unbearably quiet.
Jacob’s eyes widened. Roman’s face went stiff. Ashton stared at the lawyer in disbelief.
The lawyer continued.
He looked down at the final paragraph.
Nobody spoke.
The lawyer slowly lowered the letter, but there was one final section. He began reading again.
William’s words softened.
More tears were falling down Bella’s cheeks.
The lawyer paused for several seconds.
Then he read the final lines.
The lawyer slowly folded the letter.
For several seconds, nobody moved.
Bella sat completely still, tears quietly slipping down her cheeks. She looked at the empty chair where William should have been. Her grandfather had thought about everything. Even after leaving, he was still trying to bring his family together.
Leo reached for her hand again.
Bella held it tightly.
Across the table, Jacob, Roman and Ashton remained silent with complicated expressions.
After the entire will was finally announced, the room slowly began to empty. The lawyer gathered his documents while the family remained unusually quiet, each person seemingly lost in their own thoughts. Bella didn’t want to stay any longer than necessary. Her heart still felt heavy from everything Grandpa William had written and she had no desire to discuss money or inheritance. She simply wanted to go home with Leo.
She quietly stood from her chair and adjusted her clothes before turning toward the door. Leo immediately stood as well, ready to follow her.
"Bella."
She stopped.
The voice came from behind her.
Bella slowly turned around and found Ashton standing there.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
Ashton looked different now. The smug expression he had worn earlier was gone, replaced by an awkward uncertainty. He glanced briefly toward Jacob and Roman, who were still sitting at the table, then looked back at Bella.
"Bella..." he called again, softer this time.
She tilted her head slightly. "Yes?"
Ashton hesitated. He seemed to have something important to say but the words weren’t coming easily.
Bella waited patiently.
Leo remained beside her, silent but watchful.
Ashton finally took a breath and walked a little closer. "I wanted to talk to you."
Bella glanced at Leo. Leo gave her a small nod, silently telling her he would stay right there.
