A week later, Matthew Marshall left the country alone, while Mr. Alexander Marshall was discharged from the hospital and returned home to Beverly Hills to convalesce.
Aria Douglas moved into Beverly Hills as well, responsible for taking care of Mr. Alexander Marshall, protecting him, and incidentally keeping an eye on Bella Thompson.
Avoiding any potential stress triggers for Mr. Alexander Marshall, Bella Thompson decided to either stay at Joyful Hall praying and repenting for the Marshall family or reaching back to the sanctuary of her own room. She took Michael Marshall's advice, did not leave Beverly Hills, nor did she appear in public, living like an invisible person.
Nowadays, Beverly Hills was dominated by Daniel Marshall's allies. Bella's every move was being watched; every minute and second felt like walking on thin ice.
Even so, Bella chose to stay in Serene City rather than leaving the country with her son.
