Dump My Ex, Dive into Love with His Billionaire Uncle-Chapter 134 - : Pretending to Faint to Avoid, Someone Gave Me a Task

“No, no, I just…”

“Just that the Thompson Family’s funding chain has broken, trying to please the Sutton Family for help, but reluctant to spend money, so you bought a fake necklace.” Tim Season raised an eyebrow: “Is that what you mean?”

“No, it’s not, no!” Joy Thompson vehemently denied.

Tim Season laughed: “So, is your necklace not genuine, or is it not true that the Thompson Family’s funding chain broke and they sought cooperation with the Sutton Family, or is Thompson Family too proud to cooperate with the Sutton Family even if they declined?”

“No, I didn’t mean I don’t want to cooperate with the Sutton Family.” Joy Thompson blurted out anxiously.

Tim Season understood: “Ah, so I get it, Miss Thompson means that indeed, the Thompson Family’s funding chain has broken, and there is an intention to cooperate with the Sutton Family.”

“I, I…”

Joy Thompson watched helplessly as Tim Season revealed her family’s secrets and found herself in a dilemma, unable to deny or affirm.

In the end, Joy Thompson made a decisive move, closed her eyes, and fainted, collapsing to the floor.

Joy Thompson’s action caused quite a stir.

Tim Season coldly watched Joy Thompson fall at his feet, sneering: “Since Miss Thompson has fainted, fetch a basin of water to splash on her, or call someone from the Thompson Family to pick her up. How can such a frail Miss Thompson be allowed to attend Miss Sutton’s party?”

Joy Thompson lay on the ground, her slightly twitching lashes betraying her act of fainting.

She thought that pretending would let her pass, but Tim Season suggested splashing cold water on her or calling the Thompson Family.

If the Thompson Family found out she attended Tessa Sutton’s birthday party and achieved nothing, embarrassed herself, and even revealed the broken funding chain, they would surely not approve of her going abroad.

The Thompson Family is already at its last gasp, and she could only seize the chance to go abroad while there’s still time, or things would get complicated when the Thompson Family faced its downfall.

While Joy Thompson pondered whether to stop pretending, Tessa Sutton’s voice came through.

“Young Master Season, Miss Thompson is still a girl. Girls have their fragile moments; if you throw cold water over her and something happens, the Thompson Family might hold my family accountable.”

Tessa Sutton approached and instructed the bodyguards to carry the ‘fainted’ Joy Thompson inside the Sutton house.

“Young Master Season, it is my honor for you to attend my birthday party.” Tessa Sutton skillfully glossed over the incident with Joy Thompson.

After greeting Tim Season, she turned to Bella Woods, smiling as she reached out to hold Bella’s hand.

“I’m sorry. It’s the first time I’ve invited you to my birthday party, and this happens.” Tessa Sutton asked, “Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

Bella Woods had been watching the scene unfold earlier.

Whenever Oliver Hughes was present, she was always the one being ridiculed, while others watched her spectacle.

From the moment Tim Season arrived, she became an onlooker herself, a peculiar feeling indeed.

During the conversation between Tim Season and Joy Thompson, Bella Woods inferred that Joy was very keen on an exchange student spot, perhaps to leave before the Thompson Family’s problems erupted.

That way, if the Thompson Family faced trouble, she could take refuge abroad.

If not, she’d return as a well-educated individual.

Bella Woods knew these things because she often spent time around Cyan Marshall, who would explain the ins and outs to her, and Bella wasn’t entirely oblivious herself.

With a bit of logic, she could piece together the situation.

Families like the Thompson Family, with their intricate web of internal affairs, if truly collapsing, would likely have many implicated in legal issues. Joy’s plan to use the school system to study abroad was a perfect escape.

Knowing about the suspended project was why she caused trouble for Bella.

“I’m not feeling uncomfortable.” Bella Woods smiled, responding to Tessa Sutton.

And Tessa Sutton’s gaze swept over Bella Woods, finally fixing on a cup beside her.

She picked it up for a closer look: “This cup is beautiful… By the way, don’t just stand at the door. I’ve prepared lots of desserts and food. Since everyone has come to celebrate my birthday, the Sutton Family certainly cannot offer poor hospitality.”

Tessa Sutton smiled and instructed the Sutton Family butler to invite the guests inside.

As for the necklace issue, she didn’t mention it at all.

“Young Master Season, Young Master Oliver, would you be so kind as to come in and sit for a while, have a drink?”

She asked Oliver Hughes and Tim Season gracefully and confidently.

Oliver Hughes glanced at Bella Woods, said nothing, and walked indoors.

Tessa Sutton lowered her voice: “My father is waiting for Young Master Season in the study on the second floor. Shall I have the butler take you upstairs?”

“Thanks to Miss Sutton.” Tim Season’s expression remained indifferent.

The butler handed over his duties to others and then led Tim Season inside.

The guests entered one after another, leaving Bella Woods alone.

Tessa Sutton held the cup in one hand and linked arms with Bella Woods: “Let’s go in. Here’s a secret for you — most of those gifts are family formalities, and I don’t like them at all.”

Tessa Sutton whispered into Bella Woods’s ear: “I love your cup the most. It shows thoughtfulness, and the doodles are beautiful.

Thank you; I will cherish it.”

Tessa Sutton’s smile was radiant, and her gesture of holding Bella’s arm was very affectionate.

But Bella Woods, holding the necklace, was aware that Tessa Sutton’s outward affection was not how she truly felt toward her.

She actually wanted to leave.

She had initially come to Tessa Sutton’s birthday party just to hang out and have fun.

But after the incident with Joy Thompson, Bella Woods realized that this circle was just like the one Oliver Hughes had introduced her to before.

Having just arrived, Bella couldn’t find a reason to leave, so she followed Tessa Sutton inside.

“By the way, when I invited you, someone asked me for a favor.” Tessa Sutton suddenly remembered something: “Did you and Young Master Oliver have an engagement before?”

Bella Woods looked at Tessa Sutton, surprised.

Tessa Sutton continued: “Someone said that during this birthday party, I should help you and Young Master Oliver reconcile.”

“What?” Bella Woods found it absurd.
