Chapter 216

Three days later, it was "Isabella"'s funeral.

The night before, Richard brought news.

"We've found Isabella!"

Nina jumped up and walked over, her legs inexplicably weak.

She grabbed Richard's hand, her palm cold. "Where is she?"

Richard supported her and said, "In a villa under Charles's name."

"Charles's villa?" Zaire was puzzled. "But I already checked all the villas under his and Emma's names, including those under Matthew's name. I found nothing."

"We were looking in the wrong direction," Richard said. "We were checking properties under the names of the living, but we forgot that even the deceased have assets that haven't been transferred yet."

"The deceased?" Zaire was even more confused. "What do you mean?"

"My people found that there was still a villa under the name of Sebastian's deceased mother. It's a seaside villa on the outskirts of the city." Richard said.

Zaire really had to hand it to Richard.

Zaire had checked all the properties of everyone close to Charles, even his secretary and butler. He just hadn't thought to check Sebastian's mother!

Nina couldn't make sense of it and didn't want to. She only cared about one thing. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go get Bella."

Everyone else stood up as well.

Richard held her hand and said, "I've already made arrangements. You just stay home and wait."

He couldn't bear to let Nina put herself in danger.

Nina shook her head. "Let me go. If I stay home, I'll be miserable."

Zaire said, "Let her go. I'll go with her. Sebastian can't come out now, so I'll have Jack bring some people along. If we run into any trouble, we won't be helpless."

Richard hesitated.

Nina squeezed his hand, looking at him with urgency and hope.

"Alright." Richard finally nodded.

Kelsey immediately jumped in. "I want to go too!"

Zaire was a bit annoyed. "Kelsey, you stay home with Mom and Dad and wait for news from us!"

"No way!" Kelsey wouldn't listen to him and immediately turned to Nina for help. "Nina, I want to go get Bella too!"

Nina hesitated for only two seconds before nodding in agreement.

"Nina is the best!" Kelsey said, making a face at Zaire to show her displeasure.

Zaire was speechless.

In the end, he was the one who was left out.

Nina almost ignored Richard. She thought she should ask his opinion. "Is it okay?"

"Mr. Cole will definitely listen to you," Kelsey said, winking at Richard.

Richard smiled. "Of course."

A large group of people set off.

When they arrived at the villa, everything was quiet.

The lights were bright inside the villa.

Michael went up and rang the doorbell. The people hiding around were ready to rush in.

A few seconds later, the door opened.

Just as everyone was about to rush in, Michael made a gesture to stop them.

The sea breeze howled past, and at that moment, dozens of eyes in the yard were all focused on the person inside the door.

"Bella!" Nina shouted, her voice overwhelmed by the wind.

"Nina." Isabella walked out from inside.

Isabella was very thin, her swollen belly gone. The wind wasn't strong, but it seemed like it could blow her away.

Nina hurried over and hugged her. "Bella, you're alive! That's great!"

Isabella shook her head. "I'm sorry I made you worry."

"It's okay. It's okay." Nina let go of her, her eyes falling on Isabella's belly. "You..."

"The baby is gone," Isabella said flatly, her eyes downcast, looking very sad.

Nina choked up, forcing her tears back. "It's okay. You're still young. You'll have more children in the future. "

Isabella nodded.

While Nina and Isabella were talking, Michael had already led his people into the villa.

Soon, they brought Leo out.

Michael kicked him, and Leo knelt on one knee.

"Richard," Michael looked at Richard, waiting for his orders.

Richard glanced at Leo and said calmly, "Mr. Kevin Anderson gave me a sum of money to make sure I take care of Mr. Leo Anderson. Michael, personally escort Mr. Anderson to his final end."

Michael smirked. "This is my specialty. Mr. Anderson, do you have any last words?"

Leo looked at Richard and sneered. "How much did Kevin Anderson give you? I'll pay triple!"

Michael laughed out loud. "Everyone knows that Mr. Kevin Anderson is the future heir of the Anderson group. Mr. Kevin Anderson owns the Anderson group. What do you have, Mr. Leo Anderson?"

Leo said nothing and just looked at Richard.

Richard raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Anderson, our services aren't cheap."

Leo lifted his chin. "I can afford it."

Michael laughed wildly.

Kelsey couldn't help but look at Michael. She thought that Michael, who was dressed in black and standing in the night, exuded a menacing aura that made people inexplicably afraid.

"Mr. Anderson, if those are your last words, I'll make sure to pass them on," Michael said, dragging Leo away.

"Wait!"

Everyone looked at Isabella, not understanding what she wanted to say.

Isabella glanced at Leo and said, "Let him go!"

Michael raised an eyebrow and looked at Richard. He would only obey  Richard.

Richard, however, looked at Nina. He would only obey Nina.

Nina, worried, looked at Isabella and said in a low voice, "Bella, Michael and the others are just trying to scare Leo. They won't kill anyone. Leo and Charles have already committed a crime by imprisoning you here. We'll hand him over to the police for investigation!"

Isabella shook her head. "Nina, Leo didn't imprison me. I came here willingly with him!"

Nina was stunned. "Bella, what are you talking about? How could you have come here willingly? Do you know how chaotic things are outside? Do you know they faked a car accident and used a decoy? Everyone outside thinks you're dead!"

"I know," Isabella nodded. "Nina, the person who died in the car was a servant of the Landon family, not me. I was never in any danger. I was just here recuperating."

"Bella?" Nina looked at Isabella, feeling that the Isabella in front of her seemed unfamiliar.

Isabella walked up to Leo, stopped, looked around at everyone in the yard, took a deep breath, and said, "Let me formally introduce you all. This is Leo, my fiancé."

The entire place fell silent.

And Sebastian, who had just walked in from outside the yard, was dumbfounded.
