Chapter 906:
Katelyn and Donna shared a knowing look and laughed.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Yelena carried the playful duo to the playroom.
“Bella, you witch! Open up! I know you’re in there p>
Behind the door, Bella stood frozen, listening to Harold’s furious banging. A mix of fear and repulsion tightened her chest.
Harold had no shame, showing up every few days to extort money from Bella.
Megan had inadvertently revealed Bella’s new address, and Harold became even more audacious, pestering her relentlessly for money and making increasingly excessive demands.
Bella was not a cash machine. With Callum growing suspicious of her expenditures, she needed to be prudent; her funds were not limitless.
However, Harold’s demands seemed endless.
Out of options and money, Bella secluded herself in her bedroom.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
Startled, Bella’s hand shook, causing the phone to drop to the floor.
The ringing only made Harold’s shouts louder.
A neighbor, disturbed by the noise, confronted him, only to receive a barrage of insults.
Drunk and aggressive, Harold lashed out.
Bella had hoped the confrontation might discourage Harold, but that hope quickly evaporated. Now, she had to rely on the building’s management to intervene.
They arrived promptly and began questioning the situation.
Putting on a dramatic act, Harold exclaimed, “She’s my daughter! Just have her come out, and you’ll see. I’m being honest! She refuses to help her father, hiding away in there. I’ve traveled far to see her, and she still ignores me! Bella, if you disregard me, you’re heartless! Divine retribution will find you p>
The property management staff detected the stench of alcohol on Harold’s breath and quickly deemed him a nuisance.
They knocked on Bella’s door and identified themselves. After a pause, she answered cautiously.

Upon hearing her voice, Harold’s enthusiasm peaked. “Bella, you witch! I knew you were in there p>
His voice grumbled as though he was right beside her. Bella flinched, her eyes narrowing in fear, but she quickly composed herself and declared, “I don’t know him. This man is a stranger to me! Please, remove him p>
Harold continued his rant, but the staff eventually escorted him away. Shortly after, Bella’s phone rang again, sending a pang of fear through her. Could it be Harold?
Relief washed over her when Jarvis’ name appeared on the display. “Bella, are you alright? I’m on my way to see you,” Jarvis’ voice came through, tinged with concern.
He was her sole support. Clinging to this, Bella pleaded, “Jarvis, hurry. I’m scared p>
“Don’t worry. I’m close by p>
Upon Jarvis’ arrival, before he could speak, Bella embraced him tightly, seeking comfort in his presence.
He hesitated for a moment, then, feeling a bit flattered, embraced her warmly in return.
It was Christmas Eve.
The household of Callum was bustling from dawn, decorating the house. Despite having servants, Callum and Cayson found that personal involvement in the decorations lent them special significance, so they undertook the task themselves each year. Donna would rise early to shop for groceries and spend the day cooking.
