Chapter 2480
"What?!"
Bella's expression changed drastically as she shot to her feet, her voice trembling with urgency, "Big Brother, why didn't you tell me something this serious earlier?!"
Asher said, "You've been really busy lately..."
"So what if I'm busy? Even if I'm so exhausted I vomit blood, I'll still crawl back-l only have one dad!" Bella's eyes turned red with panic.
She grabbed the jacket draped over the chair and rushed to leave. "Is Dad stable now? I'm heading back right away!"
"Bella, wait a second, listen to me." Asher let out a sigh. His voice was heavy as he continued, "The reason Dad was hospitalized so suddenly this time has a bit to do with you..."
Bella froze mid-step. "What do you mean?"
"His wives and I have been trying to distract Dad these past few days, watching TV and playing cards with him. We were afraid he'd find out that you joined Salvador Corporation's board and withdrew from the A5 project."
Asher's voice was laced with helplessness. "But despite all our precautions, we didn't anticipate that one of Dad's business associates would call him up just to talk about it. When Dad found out, he flew into a rage. He said that you're a traitor to the Thompson family."
Bella furrowed her brows and pressed a hand to her forehead in frustration, her chest feeling so stuffed it was hard to breathe.
"Dad just took his medicine and is asleep now. Bella, come later and have a good talk with him."
Bella's voice was dull, but she forced herself to sound composed. "Thanks, Ash. I understand."
Bella drove, racing toward the hospital where Wyatt was staying.
"Dad." Bella entered the room, holding a bouquet of fresh flowers.
They were pure white lilies, her late mother's favorite.
Just as Wyatt was about to yell at her, he saw the lilies, and his gaze softened. But his tone was still one of anger.
"You brat! How are you any different from a traitor?! The A5 project is crucial to KS Group's next five and even ten years! But you just handed it over to the Salvador Corporation without a fight?! You even joined their board of directors! Not only that, you want to work with Grant Salvador, too? Don't you know that punk harbors sinister intentions? Don't you know he's been scheming for the position of heir, plotting against Justin?!"
"I know," Bella replied, her tone calm.
"You knew and you still did it?!"
"I..." Seeing that her father had misunderstood, Bella wanted to lay out the entire
plan, but at the last moment, she swallowed her words.
The plan between her and Grandpa Nigel could not be revealed to more people.

Though the family was trustworthy, there was no guarantee that nothing would slip out. If the cunning and m suspicious Grant sensed something was off, he would grow wary of her.

Asher hurriedly tried to calm him. "Dad, please don't blame Bella. I believe she has her reasons for doing this."
Axel added, "Exactly, Dad. How can you call her a traitor? That's too harsh..."

"Bella, your so-called cleverness might end up binding you like a cocoon that you
spun yourself! Justin might even be expelled from the Salvador family and lose
all chance of being the heir forever!"
Bella's chest felt tight. She wanted to defend herself, but just as she opened her mouth, Wyatt suddenly frowned in pain, and his whole body seized violently.
"Dad!"
