Chapter 1: The Humiliation of Five Dollars

In New York City.

Beside the bustling streets.

A mother and her child, squatting on the sidewalk with synchronized movements, both cute and fierce, stared at the passersby with wide eyes.

"Mommy, when are you going to find me a dad? I made a bet with a classmate, the loser is a little dog, and they have to serve the winner as their big brother, making tea, massaging legs, and rubbing backs..."

Bellas beautiful eyebrows knitted, her eyes puzzled: "Bella Junior, when did you start agreeing to such childish bets?"

Bella Junior, with a serious expression, propped his cheeks with his hands, looking wise beyond his years, and instead of answering, he said: "Youve promised me for four years, and you said you wouldnt break your word again."

"If you deceive a four-year-old again, Ill hack into global confidential documents to find my real dad who matches my DNA."

Bella: "..." A threat? Grown up now?

She couldnt let the kid mess around. It was just a dad, wasnt it? It could be easily found.

With a mischievous raise of her eyebrows, Bella suddenly noticed a man in a black suit walking across the street, and her eyes lit up.

She clapped her leg, stood up with a whoosh, and rubbed Bella Juniors smart little head, promising: "My good son, mom will find you a dad right now."

Before Bella Junior could react, he saw his mom walking straight towards a man, looking delightful.

Silently, she came behind the man and "" Bellas soft hand rested on the mans shoulder.

Her tone was flirtatious: "Sir, do you have a wife? If not, would you mind having one?"

The man frowned in displeasure, his cold aura almost freezing everything.

Especially those sword-like eyebrows, as if someone owed him a million dollars.

The man turned his head, his gaze first fixed on the shoulder, then his dark pupils fell on Bella: "Get lost."

Bellas thoughts paused. Normally, with her temper, she would make this rude man pay.

If he wanted to refuse, he could just refuse, no need to be mean.

But now Bella desperately wanted to escape! It was a panic from the depths of her soul.

"Five dollars?" Bella gasped, how could it be him?!

Bellas thoughts quickly spun back to a night five years ago.

That night, she got drunk by accident and was drugged, and saw a man handsome beyond belief.

Perhaps driven by the drugs, she took him by surprise, knocked him out, dragged him into the room, and forced herself on him.

The next day, she found out the man was blind; she took him by surprise again and ran away, leaving five dollars as a reward.

The following month, she unexpectedly got pregnant. Because of the bond between mother and child, she resolutely gave birth to the child and raised it by herself until now.

After five years, she didnt expect that the man who could make her heart race back then would make her heart race a second time.

However, thats not the point.

Bella found that the mans eyes were cold, but differently, he had now regained his sight.

At this moment, they were deep like a bottomless pit, capable of sucking and tearing people apart. Bella was surprised: Could it be that he recognized her?

Huo Tingjins eyes trembled slightly, and his pupils shrank abruptly, five dollars?

Ever since he had that accident five years ago, and was humiliatingly left with five dollars, he had been extremely sensitive to the number 5.

"You..." Huo Tingjin was about to speak, his deep and magnetic voice instantly making ones heart tremble.

But Bella turned around as if escaping: "Different paths mean were not meant to be, if its not fate, then lets never meet again!"

After speaking, Bella dragged Bella Junior away, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the mans sight.

But the faint fragrance still lingered around Huo Tingjins nose, and the womans appearance was deeply integrated into the mans mind, unforgettable.

Huo Tingjin seemingly calmly used his slender fingers to tidy the wrinkles on his collar, but in reality, his heart was in turmoil.

These seemingly coincidental events were not accidental, either someone was deliberately doing this, or... it was related to that woman five years ago!

He coldly said to the person beside him: "Check her background."

His aide, Huo Qi, nodded: "Yes, Third Master."

At the same time, Huo Tingjins gaze moved down and saw a white business card with several black characters:

Contact person: Bella.

Bella? Huh, youd better not be related to that person.

...

After walking a long way, Bella Juniors physical strength gave out, and the two stopped.

"Mommy, whats wrong with you? Who is that man? Why do you seem like a mouse meeting a cat?"

In Bella Juniors impression, Bella was fearless, capable in both literature and martial arts, and could even save people. She was his idol.

This was the first time she appeared so flustered, and Bella Junior, being wise beyond his years, was naturally curious.

At this moment, Bella gradually sorted out her emotions and deliberately put on a stern face: "Kids shouldnt be so nosy."

Bella Junior hummed: "Mommy wont say, but I know, that person must be..."

Bellas heart tightened: "Must be what?"

"Must be your creditor!" And owed a lot.

However—

What Bella Junior received was a not-so-gentle knock on the head: "You guy, its getting late, hurry home!"

"Tomorrow, you go to school honestly, mom has big things to do, got it?"

Bella Junior held his head: "Oh, I know..."

In a flash, it was the next day.

Bella sent Bella Junior to school, and then she got ready, took a taxi to her destination.

This was a top 100 company in New York City, named Bai Corporation, also a big and famous family business.

Mainly engaged in medical equipment development and hospital nursing industries, with at least 800 employees.

At first glance, it seems very high-end.

But unknown to many, the boss of this company—Bai Weiqiang, did many heartless things more than 20 years ago.

Bella, now 25 years old, was abandoned by her father Bai Weiqiang in a childrens care facility since birth.

Just because her mother had a massive hemorrhage when giving birth to her, and later had an emergency illness, she lost her mother when she was young.

At first, she really thought so.

But later, according to the investigation, her mother did not die because of giving birth to her, but was killed by Bai Weiqiang and her stepmother in collusion!

Just to seize the company shares and property in her mothers hands, and live together!

Although the evidence is still lacking today, as long as she can find the medical diagnosis results from that year, everything will be revealed.

Now her return is to reclaim everything that belongs to her mother.

Company shares, real estate under her name, justice, truth, and... let the scum dad and the third party be brought to justice and pay the (due price)!

Just arrived at the bottom of the company, Bellas gaze was locked on a middle-aged man in a suit.

He looked full of vigor and at ease.

He was followed by several assistants, really comfortable.

Bellas eyes flickered slightly, and the next second, she took out a one-meter-long banner from her pocket, dressed in a fortune-telling suit, and walked the street shouting: "Fortune-telling—"

"No charge if its not accurate—"

This attracted a lot of peoples attention, and in the end, she directly blocked the middle-aged man in front of her, grinning, showing mockery.

"Sir, since we are predestined, why dont I calculate a divination for you?"
