Chapter 1073
Bella Green’s words filled her with fear.Thinking about the phrase "biological father" made her legs weak.
How could her biological father be Brian Lawrence? Her biological father was a degenerate gambler.
A filthy, despicable gambler!
Only Francesca Willis and she knew about this; no one else knew, and she wouldn’t let anyone find out.
This was her most disgraceful secret.
She was supposed to become the Lawrence Family’s young mistress; how could she let people know about such a shameful background?
Even Vivian Thornecroft didn’t know.
This secret was something she would take to the grave...
She had lost everything; she couldn’t add such a disgusting Chapter to her already wretched state...
Anna Green watched Bella Green’s silhouette, her expression extraordinarily grim...
...
At seven o’clock, the Lawrence Family arrived promptly at the dining hall.
The Lawrence Family’s breakfast was plentiful, offering both Western and Asian cuisine.
To cater to Bella Green, Butler Feng even arranged for many dishes from Brocade City.
Looking at the dishes in front of her, Anna Green’s face turned even more unsightly.
She had been there for quite some time, yet no one had ever prepared dishes from Brocade City for her taste.
She lowered her head, vigorously stirring the porridge in her bowl with a spoon.
"Bella, your uncle is going to work later; today, your aunt will take you around Kyoto." Brian Lawrence said while eating breakfast.
Bella Green nodded with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle and Aunt."
Ariana returned the smile, though it seemed somewhat forced.
She glanced at Anna Green, who kept her head down and wasn’t eating, and sighed quietly.
How unpredictable life can be...
Meanwhile, Rose Lawrence seemed very interested in Mason Bennett.
She kept asking this and that, nearly uncovering the Bennett Family’s entire background.
Mason Bennett, however, showed no signs of impatience and skillfully responded to her questions.
He neither appeared dismissive nor impolite, yet Rose Lawrence couldn’t glean any information.
As breakfast drew to a close, Rose Lawrence felt somewhat awkward, realizing she had learned nothing from her inquiries.
Suddenly, her eyes darted between Mason Bennett and Bella Green, and she flashed a smile, addressing the Lawrence patriarch.
"Dad, look at Bella. She’s only nineteen and already has a fiancé. Isn’t it too early? As expected, they say those in the entertainment industry are indeed very open."
Her coquettish remark instantly brought silence over the dining hall.
The Lawrence patriarch set down his chopsticks and looked at Rose Lawrence.
His intense gaze made Rose Lawrence awkwardly avert her eyes.
"Little sister, what do you mean by that? Bella and Mason are an engaged couple; it’s not some improper relationship."
Matthew Lawrence also set down his spoon and looked at Rose Lawrence.
His usual gentle smile lingered at the corners of his mouth, but his words made Rose Lawrence instinctively shiver, her face turning even uglier.
If she were to name the person she feared most in this family, not even the patriarch would surpass this long-unseen second brother...
"Second brother, what are you talking about? I didn’t mean anything by it. It’s just that Bella is still young; getting engaged so early doesn’t seem right. Besides, Bella just came home, and we all adore her so much. We want her to stay here for a few more years, so how can we bear to let her marry off so soon?"
These words hit the Lawrence patriarch right in the heart.
Even though Bella Green had just returned to the Lawrence Family, he had grown greatly fond of this newly met granddaughter.
