Chapter 645:
“Five hundred thousand?!” Bella’s voice rose sharply, disbelief lacing her tone. That man was getting bolder, treating her like a bottomless well to drain dry.
“Please help him, or he’ll… he’ll die! They’ll kill him!” Megan was about to fall to her knees as she pleaded desperately. Bella’s sharp command stopped her cold. “Get up p>
Megan did not really plan on kneeling. She knew that, regardless of Bella’s hesitation to acknowledge their bond, she remained Bella’s mother.
Megan was just pretending.
Bella believed she had total control over both Megan and Harold.
However, the reality was quite the opposite.
Turning around, Bella retrieved her checkbook and wrote a check for five hundred thousand.
The sight of so many zeroes made Megan’s eyes widen, leaving her momentarily speechless.
She thought to herself that she had never before received such a large sum of money all at once in her life.
How thick would a stack of five hundred thousand dollars be?
Megan reached out to grab the check, but Bella lifted her hand, raising the check above her head.
Megan was confused. Her brows knit together as she stared at Bella. “Bella, hand it over p>
Bella firmly responded to Megan, “This is the last time I’m bailing him out. Next time, his fate won’t concern me p>
Deep down, Bella hoped the debt collectors would kill Harold.

Megan quickly nodded, knowing she was in no position to argue with Bella. “I’ll pass on the message. He promised to quit gambling p>
With that, Bella finally handed over the check to Megan.
Megan carefully slid the check into her pocket before stepping out. Just as Jarvis was about to find Bella, he caught sight of Megan carefully leaving her room.
With a slight frown, Jarvis approached Bella’s room.
No sooner had he knocked than the door swung open. An impatient Bella said, “What else do you want now…” Her words were cut short as she was shocked.
It was not Megan at the door, but Jarvis.
Bella paused for a moment to compose herself before asking, “Jarvis, is there something you need p>
Jarvis looked at Bella with a concerned expression and gently asked, “Are you okay? What’s going on with that servant? Is she troubling you? You’re too kind, and people take advantage of that p>
Bella quickly realized Jarvis had gotten the wrong impression. She couldn’t reveal her actual connection with Megan, so she displayed a helpless smile and answered, “No, she’s just a servant. She wouldn’t dare trouble me p>
Jarvis looked at Bella with a slight frown, still unsure of her words. He trusted what he had seen more. “But just a moment ago, you were clearly upset p>
Bella had her explanation ready. She smiled and explained, “I’ve been on a diet and skipping meals. She kept insisting I eat, which annoyed me enough to scold her p>
Jarvis was surprised. He had thought of Megan as the source of the problem, but now he realized he had misunderstood the situation.
Feeling slightly embarrassed, he awkwardly smiled and replied, “I see, I must have misunderstood the situation p>
After a pause, Jarvis added, “But Bella, she’s right about one thing. Skipping meals is unhealthy p>
