Perhaps it was just like that, which left a sense of resentment in Brian's heart, as he immediately wanted to retaliate.
Bang! The door was kicked open, followed immediately by a man’s cry in pain.
Before Brian could react, he was flipped over, falling directly onto the ground. He accidentally hit his head on the bedside table.
He clutched his head, crying out in pain continuously. Fresh blood was trickling down from his forehead.
Bella felt quite a heavy load lifted from her body. Seeing the fresh blood on Brian's forehead, she sobered. up instantly. She then stared blankly at the newcomer, somewhat unable to react.
Mike directly hoisted Bella around the waist, unable to resist reprimanding in a voice only the two of them could hear, “Why did you let the others leave first? Don’t you know you're a girl too?” Bella parted her lips slightly. Everything had happened so suddenly, and she didn’t even know how to begin.
From her perspective, Bella could only see his chiseled side profile and the determined look on his face, accentuated by his prominent eyebrows.
Mike was still holding Bella and hadn't left the room when Brian started to threaten, “Hey, hey, hey. Don’t you dare leave. You owean explanation. And you, Bella, you've been drugged.

If you don’t obediently lie beneathtoday, you can forget about signing this contract!” The more Brian spoke, the more smug he became. Toward the end, he even started to bask in his own glory.
Mike originally didn’t want to bother, as he just wanted to leave directly.
However, Bella patted his shoulder, signaling him to put her down.
Mike refused, his eyebrows knitted in disapproval. “Do you really intend to lie beneath that old man? If the contract is lost, you can collaborate with others. If the money is gone, you can earn it again... Don't sell yourself.” 12 Listening to Mike earnestly preaching these profound truths, she simply didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Bella blinked at him, probably in a silent attempt to make the other party believe in her.
Mike then decided to put Bella down.
The moment Bella stood on her own two feet, she felt a wave of dizziness. She couldn't help but marvel at the potency of the drug.
Mike quickly rushed to her side, his face filled with worry.
Bella smiled, indicating that she was fine.
Stumbling along, she made his way toward Brian. Seeing Bella approaching, the man had a smug look on his face.
Relying on contracts, he had not slipped up in all these years.
