Chapter 54 -54: The One Who Supported Her for 4 Years Was Actually Third Young Master Marshall
Bella Woods was shocked by her own guess.
To her, Third Young Master Marshall was Oliver Hughes’ uncle, so he would naturally side with Oliver.
But what he just said, as Bella understood it, was that he was giving her a chance to report Oliver, and he would stand up for her.
“You are quite a straightforward child.” Ashton Marshall shook his head slightly, sipping his tea.
“Third Young Master also said, I’m just a child. In front of someone like you, I’m not qualified to guess, nor is there a need to play tricks. It’s better to ask directly when I don’t understand.”
Although Bella was already eighteen, in terms of both age and physicality, she was no longer a child.
But in front of someone like Ashton Marshall, a successful man, she indeed felt like a naive little girl.
Since she was a child, there was no need to guess the thoughts of adults. Be direct, and a wrong statement would be dismissed as ‘childish words without harm.’
“You can understand it as you said.” The man savored his tea and suddenly asked, “Shall we talk over tea?”
Talk over tea?
With Third Young Master Marshall?
Bella was stunned and quickly took a step back: “You’re too kind, Third Young Master.”
She didn’t have the guts to sit at the same table and drink tea with Third Young Master Marshall.
Her heart wasn’t strong enough for that.
“Alright, I’m just teasing you,” the man chuckled.
Then someone came in from outside, helped Bella up from the bed, removed the handcuffs from her, and tidied the random ribbons and confetti sprayed on her.
A servant also prepared a hot towel to clean Bella’s face.
After everything was clean, they left a set of clean clothes and withdrew.
“Go to the resting room next door, change your clothes,” Ashton said, “After changing, think about what you want to say to me.”
Bella looked at the silhouette of the man behind the screen, then looked down at the clothes, and finally obediently walked into the resting room as Ashton instructed.
As she pushed the resting room door open, Bella couldn’t help but glance in Ashton’s direction.
Her previous position was blocked by the screen, she could only see the silhouette of the man, not his face.
But from this angle, a slight gap allowed her to glimpse the man sitting at the tea table, dressed in a neat suit, the jacket pulled back while making tea, revealing the white shirt cuffs.
Bella couldn’t help but take a few more glances, barely managing to see a side profile.
The sharp profile was elegant and fluid, causing her heart to skip a few beats in awe.
As the man seemed to sense her gaze and was about to look up, Bella was startled and quickly slipped into the resting room.
No sooner had the resting room door closed, the man raised his head, turned slightly towards the door, and chuckled, “So timid?”
He recalled how she had confidently pounced on him, wanting to take care of him, telling him to call her a wealthy lady, instructing him to obey, and she wasn’t timid at all then.
Ashton shook his head with a laugh.
Two minutes later.
Bella emerged carrying a bag of her dirty clothes and stood at the same spot she had when she came in.
The bed that had been on the floor was already moved.
Ashton still sat behind the screen, his body slightly leaning against the chair back, his hands casually resting on the chair’s arms, meeting Bella’s gaze through the screen.
Even with the screen between them, Bella could feel the powerful aura of dominance from this man.
She didn’t dare to make eye contact.
She also knew the other side was silently waiting for what she had to say.
Bella took a deep breath and said, “Third Young Master, I have only one request.”
“Go on.”
“Please make the decision to cancel the engagement between Oliver Hughes and me…”
Bam!
The tea room door was suddenly pushed open forcefully, and Oliver Hughes stormed in angrily, “Bella Woods, didn’t I tell you at Paradise World before, if you mention canceling the engagement again, I won’t give you a second chance?”
Bella looked up to meet Oliver’s furious expression.
His gaze seemed as if she had committed some heinous crime.
“When you used me as a pawn to deliberately lose, you never thought about wanting an engagement.” Bella didn’t retreat in the slightest.
“Whether I thought about the engagement is my business. But you, Bella Woods, bringing up not getting engaged is your insolence.” Oliver stepped closer to Bella.
Bella even laughed out loud, “Under such circumstances, insisting on engaging with you would truly be insolent!”
“Open your rat-like eyes wide and see, can you find someone better than me in all of Peace City? You, just because you’re unhappy, repeatedly want to cancel the engagement, you’re foolish.”
“After proposing, you then act like a dog, kneeling before me, crying for reconciliation, that’s what’s despicable.”
Oliver was so angry that at the end he wasn’t angry anymore, he just laughed.
Bella lowered her eyes and also laughed, though somewhat forlornly, “Yes, I’m not only foolish, I’m also despicable.”
It was foolish and despicable to have liked someone like him for four years, hoping to spend her future with him.
She naively thought that as long as she made it through the engagement party, successfully securing a spot to study abroad, she could have a bright future.
Little did she know, she couldn’t even make the first step.
How could she deserve any bright future?

She was Bella Woods, from the countryside, scorned by parents, looked down upon by her fiancé, and still hoping for a bright future?
A fool’s dream!
“Bella Woods, while I’m still willing to give you a chance, you should apologize properly and take back those foolish words.” Oliver generously offered her an opportunity.
Bella didn’t respond to Oliver, instead, she resolutely looked up at the man behind the screen.
“Third Young Master, if you are willing to make the decision for me, I only have the request to cancel the engagement. If you find me insignificant, then let’s pretend I never said it.”
“Bella Woods, you damn…”
“Oliver Hughes.”
Ashton coldly spoke, stopping Oliver from lashing out at Bella: “She is your fiancée, think before you speak.”
“Uncle, you heard what she said.” Oliver complained on the spot: “This isn’t the first time. It happened before, and now it’s happening again.”
“Do you know why she wants to cancel the engagement with you?” Ashton asked.
Oliver glanced at Bella and sneered, “What else could it be, just being petty. Getting upset and throwing a tantrum, saying break up.”
“Bella Woods, do you really think I, Oliver Hughes, have no temper to tolerate your actions…”
“Oliver Hughes, are you ignoring my words?”
Ashton’s tone was serious, carrying a definite leadership aura, instantly deflating Oliver Hughes, who was still on a rampage wanting to teach Bella a lesson.
He scrambled to explain to Ashton: “Uncle, I didn’t mean that.”
“Repeat what I told you when you initially got a fiancée.”
“You said… either don’t accept her from the start, or if accepted, understand that my fiancée and I are one.”
“Continue,” Ashton commanded.
“Since you thought she wasn’t fit from the countryside, you started grooming her. According to the form you gave me, from buying her dresses to introducing her to the circle, including the educational resources you arranged, all invested in her.”
Oliver articulated very clearly what Ashton had said four years ago.
And Bella listened, greatly shocked, staring at Oliver, her eyes trembling.
Over these four years, ever since she came from the countryside to become Oliver Hughes’ fiancée, she was guided by Oliver to alter her image, choose clothes, enter Oliver’s social circle, and attend the classes and extracurriculars he arranged.
She thought these were Oliver’s meticulous arrangements, but it turned out to be Ashton who planned everything and let Oliver execute it?
The one who nurtured Bella from a rural tomboy to a genteel little heiress wasn’t Oliver.
In essence, the one who supported her for four years was Ashton Marshall, Third Young Master Marshall!
