Dump My Ex, Dive into Love with His Billionaire Uncle-Chapter 115 - We Have a Secret Curious

After thinking for a moment, Bella gave a straightforward response: “I don’t want to know.”

“Oh?” Ethan Marshall was quite surprised: “You don’t want to know?”

And he added, “This matter concerns Ashton Marshall. Aren’t you a bit curious about him?”

“If it’s about Ashton Marshall, I’m even less interested in knowing,” Bella Woods said. “It’s Ashton’s personal matter, and I have no right to learn about it from someone else.”

“Not even a little curiosity?” Ethan Marshall continued to ask, watching Bella.

“No,” Bella Woods answered, resuming her ice cream.

Her heart raced briefly for lying, then returned to calm.

Yet Bella Woods hid it well, showing nothing.

Curious, but what could she do?

She was just Ashton Marshall’s whimsy, after all.

Moreover, she was planning to study abroad soon and wanted to spend a short time having fun in Peace City.

After all, once she left, Bella wouldn’t return, and she didn’t want to remember the city with unpleasant memories.

“I thought, with the feelings between you two, you would have pursued me for answers,” Ethan Marshall remarked.

He was a bit sentimental about Bella Woods’ lack of curiosity.

“Little Bella.”

Calvin Marshall’s voice called from the ice cream shop entrance.

Just as Bella Woods looked up to find him, Calvin Marshall quickly approached, inserting himself between Bella and Ethan Marshall.

“What do you want with her?” Calvin was very hostile towards Ethan.

It seemed the entire generation of Marshall siblings held animosity towards Ethan Marshall.

Firstly, he was illegitimate; secondly, Old Master Marshall, obsessed as he was, protected this illegitimate child, even instigating a power shift in the Marshall Clan Group to elevate him.

But now Ashton Marshall sat securely in a high position, capable of suppressing this illegitimate child from rising.

Yet, Old Master Marshall’s singular protection let Ethan Marshall still voice a challenge within the Marshall Family and Group.

“I just came to chat with Bella,” Ethan Marshall smiled.

Bella remembered her first encounter with Ethan, used by Oliver Hughes as a token for a race against Ethan, and Ethan’s calm demeanor mostly carried a gentle smile.

“Chat about what?” Calvin remained vigilant, “Tell me now, what do you want to discuss with her?”

“I think today isn’t suitable,” Ethan Marshall smiled, glancing at Bella Woods, “Let’s chat another day, Bella.”

With those words, he didn’t linger.

Even after Ethan Marshall left, Calvin still carried a deep air of hostility.

Bella tugged at her, “Sixty?”

Since Calvin ranked sixth at home, she was insistent earlier that Bella call her that, refusing to use her full name.

Only at Bella’s call did Calvin reluctantly shift her focus from Ethan.

Calvin sat beside Bella, advising, “Small Bella, don’t talk much with him. Don’t be fooled by his seemingly gentle smile; he’s actually a sly fox, very malicious.”

By the end, Calvin was gritting her teeth.

“Have you been harmed by him?” Bella asked.

“Too many times,” Calvin began counting on her fingers, “When we were young, during our eldest brother’s birthday party, he tricked me into asking for candy from our brother. But that candy represented our brother’s shares in the Marshall Clan Group. At the time, our brother intended to step back from the domestic market, so whoever got the candy would receive his shares in the Marshall Clan.”

“But due to some issues among us cousins, whoever got the shares would cause a stir. Our brother couldn’t give it voluntarily, nor could we ask, creating a stalemate. Originally, when nobody got it in the end, our brother could rightfully give it to the future controller of the Marshall Clan, and the direct line wouldn’t have grievances.”

“As a result, he made me ask for it, and in an instant, our family offended other uncles, aunts, and cousins.”

“And there are more…”

Calvin recounted incident after incident.

They mostly revolved around internal issues within the Marshall Clan Group. Bella felt lost in the details but understood broadly that Ethan Marshall acted as a strategic mastermind.

Seemingly peaceful and harmless, yet every action played into his intended outcomes.

“So, stay far away from this person,” Calvin earnestly advised Bella.

Bella nodded, “I won’t have too much interaction with him, rest assured.”

“Small Bella, why are you so kind?” Calvin cupped Bella’s face, “Unlike that person, even after being told to stay away from Ethan, still thought I was harsh about him, and ended up regretting it…”

“That person?” Bella inquired.

Calvin paused, “Let’s go eat, get ready, and then I’ll take you to Paradise World.”

With that, Calvin pulled Bella from the ice cream shop.

As for ‘that person’ Calvin mentioned, she didn’t bring it up again, nor did Bella pursue the subject.

Bella had a hunch that ‘that person’ Calvin was talking about was related to the secret Ethan Marshall wanted to share.

However, Bella restrained her curiosity, avoiding any urge to probe the matter.

She constantly reminded herself she was about to leave Peace City, shouldn’t know too much, and had no right to.

Enjoy the last moments happily, and that’s enough.

After dining, Calvin took Bella to a hotel room, where cosmetics and outfits for the evening were delivered.

She personally handled Bella’s makeup.

“Don’t worry, I studied in America professionally; I’ll definitely make you look stunning.”

Calvin’s guarantee blew up Bella’s social media.

The fuss started when, post-makeup and dressed up, Calvin and Bella took selfies. After picking a few nice photos and editing them, Calvin even helped Bella craft a caption. They both posted on social media simultaneously.

Within a minute of posting, Bella received video calls from both Oliver Hughes and Ashton Marshall.
