Chapter 768: Chapter 767: The Ruse of Self-Sacrifice (Part 2)

The phone was dialed, and Bella Acker subconsciously felt a bit nervous.

Since their last call, the two had not contacted each other for a long time. Damian Sinclair might have already completely let go of her.

Even this time’s matter...

Bella Acker pressed her lips together, the phone rang four times without answer. Just as she was about to hang up, it finally connected.

Bella saw the screen showing a two-second call duration, took a deep breath, and raised the phone to her ear, hiding her emotions, she said, "Mr. Sinclair, sorry to bother you now."

"I’m in a meeting," Damian Sinclair’s voice came from the other end, without any detectable emotion.

"Thank..." Their words overlapped, and Bella suddenly stopped speaking.

Does this mean he doesn’t want to talk to her on the phone?

He’s really incredible! When he decides to let go, he does it completely, absolutely straightforward, without any hesitation.

Bella Acker gripped the phone and gave a silent, self-mocking smile, saying, "Then I won’t disturb you anymore, Mr. Sinclair. By the way, if you have time, please calculate the total price of the house, so I can transfer the money to you. That’s it."

After hanging up, Bella Acker stared blankly at her phone for a while.

Judy Zimmerman looked at her from the rearview mirror, "Bella?"

"Piggy, do you think I’m quite foolish?" Bella suddenly said, "The same man, how can I give him chances repeatedly to stab my heart?"

Judy paused for a moment and said, "This time when we came back, I could see President Sinclair genuinely wants to win you back."

"Yes, he really thought about winning me back, but after being rejected, he immediately turned away, that was real too." Bella lowered her eyelids, "It’s just me being stupid, not being able to forget even one person after all these years."

"Sometimes, the more you try to forget someone, the harder it is to forget," Judy comforted, "Since you can’t forget, just keep it in your heart. Over time, it will naturally fade."

"Over time, it will naturally fade?" Bella gently repeated Judy’s words. Five years, she thought she had finally let go of some things, but unexpectedly meeting Damian Sinclair again, that suddenly racing heartbeat still escapes her control, and everything that happened with him felt as vivid as if it occurred yesterday.

"Bella, people who remain affectionate tend to get hurt. You’re someone who values feelings above all, take your time," Judy said. "Don’t worry, before you get married, I definitely won’t tie the knot either."

"Pfft." Bella was amused, "Better not, that would be too much pressure for me. Besides, our Piggy should get married soon, I want to give you a big red envelope."

Both laughed as they spoke.

At the airport, time was tight, and they quickly exchanged boarding passes and followed the majority onto the shuttle bus to board the plane. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

On the plane, Bella took out her phone to send a text message to Talia and the others, then followed the flight attendant’s instructions to turn off her phone.

The first stop for promoting "I Will Not Be a Concubine" was Stellaport, also Director Rowe’s hometown.

From Creston to Stellaport required over a two-hour flight. After landing, Bella routinely sent a text to the two kids to ensure her safety, then got on the car arranged by the crew and rushed to the event location for makeup and script rehearsals.

Promoting a new film is very exhausting work, possibly requiring visits to multiple locations in one day.

Bella reached Stellaport in the morning for promotion, then hurried with the crew to the nearby city of Gableton for afternoon promotion, eventually heading for Harrowden for the last event of the day at seven in the evening.
