Chapter 942:
Bella picked up her chopsticks and ate in silence. She had no appetite at all, even becoming picky as she chose what to put on her plate.
“If you don’t want to eat, you can go back to your room,” Bella’s father said coldly, his voice stern as he looked at her. He was still furious, and he had no patience left for her stubbornness.
“We’ve had to shut down a number of the family businesses. All of that is your fault. Stop acting like a diva and start acting your age. We’re going bankrupt because of you p>
Bankrupt?
Bella went blank when she heard her father say the word. Even though she felt wronged, she knew she had made a serious mistake this time, so she didn’t refute his scolding.
How could this be? Was her family really on the brink of financial ruin?
“What did you expect? This is on you p>
His frustration had been building for days because of Bella’s actions and the damage they had done to the business. If it hadn’t been for her, the company wouldn’t be in such a desperate state.
As he continued lecturing, Bella’s father grew even more irritated. He threw his chopsticks onto the table and sank back in his seat, fuming.
Bella had completely lost her appetite. She quietly pushed her bowl aside and sat there for a moment, thinking. Then she said, “I’m going out p>
“What are you going to do outside? What trouble are you going to drag me into this time? You’ve ruined this family enough already! I dare you to take one more step p>
Bella’s father erupted like a volcano the moment he saw her stand.
But Bella didn’t flinch. She didn’t turn back. She walked straight out the door, leaving his furious words to echo in the empty room.
She went directly to the Norman residence.
Heather’s expression shifted the instant she saw Bella, but it quickly smoothed back into place. After that, she did nothing more than sit on the couch and flip through a magazine, as if she didn’t want to miss a single page.

“What brought you here?” Heather asked.
Bella walked up to her, stopped, and stared in silence.
Although Bella resented Heather for not speaking up when she’d been taken away by the police, she pushed that aside for now. She had a more urgent problem, and she needed help.
“Please, Heather. I need your help with my family p>
Under Bella’s intense gaze, Heather felt a brief twinge of unease, but it faded as soon as she heard the reason.
Help her family?
Heather paused, considering it.
She knew she had caused Bella’s family a great deal of trouble, yet Bella was still here asking for help. If she agreed, wouldn’t that be the same as admitting she was at fault?
“How can I help you?” Heather asked, forcing her voice to stay steady.
Bella took a deep breath and spoke slowly. “My family’s business has taken a severe hit since my arrest. My father says we’re on the verge of bankruptcy… Heather, I know the Norman Group has the resources to help my family. Please talk to your brother and ask him to invest in my father’s company. If he does, my family will survive, and yours won’t suffer heavy financial losses. Please help me, Heather. I don’t care about what happened before. I won’t p>
