Chapter 180 Wishful Thinking
I bet those who were waiting for me to fail would surely laugh at me now.
Unable to accept what happened, Bella cried harder as she made up scenarios of what might happen after this.
Right then, her phone suddenly rang—it was a call from an unknown number.
As Bella had never seen this series of numbers before, she had no idea who was calling her.
As she stared at her phone, she stopped crying and started pondering in confusion before she finally accepted the call and greeted politely, “Hello, Bella here. May I know who this is?”
Bella’s voice was a little hoarse because she had just cried, but it still sounded pleasant to the ears.
“I know who you are.” A man’s voice rang out from the other end of the call before he chuckled.
Instead of telling Bella who he was, the man said in an experienced manner, “Miss Goodwin, we’ve met each other before, but you’ve probably forgotten about me.”
The way he spoke left a bad taste, and his chuckles made her feel nauseous.
Although she couldn’t recognize the man, she still asked politely, “It’s true that I can’t recall who you are. What can I do for you?”
Despite that, she was confused because the man’s voice sounded familiar, but she couldn’t recall when she had met someone like this, and the man was still refusing to let her know his identity. “What happened after you visited Hanson Luke at the hospital?”
Bella was taken aback before she frowned upon hearing that. She felt uneasy because the man seemed to know what happened. “What are you trying to say?”
His chuckles rang out again. “Nothing. I just want to remind you that the choices that you make are significant. It’s just like what happened today after you made a wrong choice, and you lost everything just because of a careless mistake. However, if you follow the right person and make the right choices, things will be different.”
She frowned as she was puzzled by what she heard. At this moment, her eyebrows were knitted into a frown, and she had completely lost her urge to cry.
An impatient Bella then asked, “What are you seriously trying to say?”
When the man from the other end of the call noticed her anger, his laughter increased. “Let’s ignore that and talk about you.”
“What about me?” Bella was hesitant.
Meanwhile, the man stated clearly, “Throughout these years, there have been tons of girls who tried to approach Hanson with all sorts of excuses, but none of them succeeded. For an amateur in the field like you, I would say that it’s wishful thinking if you think that you can chase after him.”
Bella panicked when she heard him because of how well he knew about her while she didn’t even know the identity of this man at all. Hence, she could only try to defend herself. “I wasn’t trying to do that. I was just going to visit President Luke because I heard that he was sick.”
Right then, the man burst into laughter as if he heard a joke. “You can save that to try and trick yourself. Do you really think that I don’t know what’s going on in your mind? I’ve come across too many people like you.”
Bella started getting angry after she was exposed. “Who are you? Why are you calling me?”
“Why are you so anxious? Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to you. I’m not like Hanson, and I won’t dismiss you just like that.”
