Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love - Chapter 401
Chapter 401: Chapter 404: One Corpse, Two Lives; Bella Scott Accepts It
Uncle Mark looked at the elegant and refined Second Heiress in front of him, and a faint smile finally appeared on his usually expressionless face.
“Please rest assured, Second Heiress, the Old Lady said that as long as you are determined, everything will be fine. Your request will be taken care of by the Old Lady. Once the Lucas Family’s banquet is over, the Old Lady will send someone to kidnap that woman. Don’t worry, the people who carry out the task are very clean and efficient. They will make it look like a robbery gone wrong and no one will link it to the Scott Family or suspect Miss Bright.”
It’s no wonder Bella Scott’s mother, Wendy Jenkins, was so cunning and calculating.
She timed the kidnapping to take place after the banquet, allowing outsiders to believe that the robbers had only learned of Lily Gray’s identity as Mrs. Lucas and intended to rob her for the money.
Of course, Uncle Mark wouldn’t reveal these specific details to Bella Scott.
Bella was just too fragile.
However, he thought, fortunately, the Old Lady was right – a mother’s strength is unmatched.
Second Heiress had been weak for a lifetime, and except for that one incident twenty years ago, she never truly resembled the Old Lady’s child.
This version of the Second Heiress was utterly incapable of helping the Old Lady in the battle for the Scott family property!
Only by pushing the Second Heiress to be cruel and heartless could the Old Lady snatch the Scott family’s fortune from her two siblings!

When Uncle Mark left the reception room, Bella Scott was still sitting blankly on the sofa.
This matter had had a severe impact on her.
For now, she just couldn’t come back to her senses.
As soon as Uncle Mark stepped out of the reception room, he saw Hannah Ford outside the room.
The gentle and delicate Hannah Ford was standing on the side of the corridor, looking at him.
“Miss Bright,” he respectfully greeted the Old Lady’s granddaughter.
A faint smile appeared on Hannah Ford’s face, “Uncle Mark, you’ve come.”
“Yes… The Old Lady asked me to come and visit the Second Heiress and Miss Bright. I heard that Miss Bright’s heart transplant surgery was very successful, and the Old Lady was delighted,” Uncle Mark said politely, his face still cold.
No trace of a servile attitude was visible on his face.
However, it makes sense.
The Scott family had severed ties with Bella and the Ford family after that incident.
Now knowing her own situation, Hannah Ford was not favored in the Ford family, by anyone but Noah Ford.
The two old people in the Ford family seemed to like her very much outwardly, but she knew that they never treated her like a real granddaughter.
In the entire Ford family, the only person who cared for her was Bella Scott.
Unfortunately, even though Bella was Mrs. Ford, she had no real power in the Ford family.
Hence, even the Scott family’s servants would look down upon her, the unwanted daughter of the Ford family.
Thinking about this, Hannah Ford became even more determined in her resolve.
She must become Aidan Lucas’s wife!
Only by marrying the incredibly wealthy and powerful Aidan Lucas could she truly trample all those people in the Ford family and the Scott family who looked down upon her.
At this moment, Uncle Mark was completely unaware of Hannah Ford’s thoughts.
His mere reservation towards her was simply due to her fragile and timid nature.
He had been brought to the Scott family by the Old Lady from her maternal Jenkins family.
Since childhood, he had served by the Old Lady’s side and deeply understood her pain from struggling in the Scott family’s power struggle without strong and loyal support.
If only Bella Scott, the Second Heiress, could have been a little tougher and more ruthless, the Old Lady would not have to face her current predicament, struggling to get by.
