The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 240 Renren

Chapter 240 Renren

After a few minutes, Mo Li indeed came back with some eggs and sausages. The two happily got their breakfast before Mo Li left for a business meeting while she decided to stay in the condo so she could start analyzing the voter’s past behaviors in Lu City.

As Mo Li’s political analyst, Bella was planning to assist all the things that he needed to do to win this election. "Hey, Robot," she mumbled as she opened her laptop. "Are you still alive?"

[Bee is not subjected to time and death.]

"Still alive, huh." She started checking her emails. "You never mentioned about me changing the plot. Does this mean, I can do whatever I want as long as I do my mission?"

[As long as you do not change anything relevant to the plot.] Bee corrected her.

"The plot mentioned that Gabriel the male lead would become the mayor but it didn’t say when." She uttered. Right now, Lily felt that her brains were constantly improving. Maybe this was the result of living in different worlds, but she was certain that she was getting smarter and ... as horrible as it may sound, she felt she had become more sinister too.

Or maybe this wasn’t really being sinister. More like cunning. Bella nodded as she consoled herself. After checking her emails, she started checking her investments and realized that the previous Bella was quite rich in stocks. The woman didn’t have any luxurious items and just put most of her salaries in stocks and real estate.

At least, the woman was smart when it comes to money. Bella started working on her research and soon finished everything at around four in the evening. This time, Mo Li told her that they would have dinner in another famous restaurant in the city. Bella immediately got dressed and waited for Mo Li in the lobby of the building.

"Miss Bella?"

Bella lifted her eyes away from her laptop. Mo Li told her that he would be a little late because of the traffic. So she decided to check her social media as well as the social media of the female lead which was also her half-sister. "Yes?"

"The Mayor wanted to have a private conversation with you. Please follow me."

Bella stared at the man and didn’t stand from her seat.

"Excuse me, please follow me to see— "

"I am busy." Bella interrupted the man when she realized that he was actually serious.

"The Mayor is waiting for you outside. He had to cancel one meeting today so he could meet you." The man said in a stern tone. In response, Bella smiled.

"I said... I am not available to talk to the Mayor."

"Miss Bella... I think you would want to hear the Mayor’s proposition. Please follow me."

"Proposition?" Not an apology. But a proposition? As expected of her father. He would rather turn this into a business proposition than a father asking his daughter for an apology.

"Yes, I suggest you— "

"Alright. Take me to see the Mayor." She immediately put her laptop back in her bag and followed the man out of the building. She immediately spotted the black car parked a few feet away from the entrance. The man even opened the door for her.

"I have an appointment with my husband. Please make it quick." She said the moment, she got inside the car.

"You changed." She didn’t miss the melancholic voice of the man who raised this body for years.

"I am taking that as a compliment."

"Do you need to act so distant?" he turned towards her. Seeing her cold eyes the mayor asked. "At least treat me with some respect."

"Have I disrespected the Mayor?" Confusion flashed in her eyes. "I don’t understand. This is how I treat everyone aside from my husband."

"You are trying to hurt me." The old man stated. "I know and I understand. All I can say is... you have succeeded."

Bella looked at him with disbelief. Really? Was this man raised in an abnormal household? Why was he like this to his own daughter? "My husband will arrive in about five minutes," Bella uttered. She was here for the deal not to talk about emotions that no longer exists.

"I have a proposition." The mayor gave a disappointed sigh. "I want you to leave this city."

Bella tilted her head and waited for him to explain. She was certain that the mayor still has more things to say. Seeing her face, the mayor looked outside of the car and started explaining his point. "The news last night already reached the ears of the people who wanted me to leave the position. Some are stealthily asking the people who witnessed what happened to give them the details. Last night, I understand why you were angry but you revealed some important information like me disowning you a few years ago."

Bella nodded, understanding flashed in her eyes. "So, you are here not to ask me what happened last night. You didn’t ever wonder why I fainted or if I am dying from an incurable disease." She snorted. "You are here to make me leave the city. Should I give you the awards for the best father in the world?" Sarcasm was apparent in her voice.

"Bella...."

"Please call me. Mrs. Mo. I don’t think we are close enough for you to call me by my first name."

The Mayor narrowed his eyes. "You— "

"Was that the end of your proposition?" she interrupted him. "Or do you still want to offer me other things that would be enough for me to say yes?"

"How dare you say something like that to your father?"

"Father?" Bella lifted an eyebrow before she chuckled. "I guess this conversation is done, then?"

The old man stared at the mockery in Bella’s face. "Once you leave this city, I will ask Renren to get back to you."

"Renren...." Bella froze. For a few seconds, she thought the name made her heart skip a beat. Then anger shot through her. "How dare you use that name!?"
