A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 527

Faced with Luna's bragging, Bella just smiled politely. "I've never ridden in a multi-million dollar luxury car."

Her mind was actually preoccupied with thoughts about Jack. She barely listened to Luna's boasting.

Luna enthusiastically invited her, "You've got to try it. It's something only a real tycoon with billions in assets can afford."

She then went on and on about how her boyfriend was a genuine wealthy aristocrat, not some pretentious nouveau riche.

But Bella wasn't paying attention. She picked up her phone and called her mother.

The call connected, and Clarice's steady voice came through. "Sweetie, what made you call me all of a sudden?"

Bella replied, "Just felt like it!"

Then, hesitating, she added, "Mom, there's something I want to talk to you about."

Clarice gently responded, "Go ahead."

Bella cautiously voiced her thoughts. "Mom, I was wondering… Can I not go to Montclair Conservatory?"

On the other end of the line, Clarice fell silent for a long moment. Then she spoke, her tone measured. "Did you tell your boyfriend about this?"

Bella didn't want to lie to her mother. "Yes."
