Bride of Mr.Billion

Bella's POV:

"Betty? When... when did you come?" I looked at her in surprise.

She had obviously gone upstairs just now. Why did she come downstairs again?

Betty raised the change in her hand and said with tears, "I know you're in a bad mood recently. You and mom are always quarreling, so I want to go out and buy your favorite dessert. I didn't expect that my sister would tell the person I love most to distance himself from me!"

Betty was so agitated. I quickly took her hand and explained, "Betty, listen to my explanation..."

However, Betty, who was agitated, refused to listen to my explanation. She roared at me, "What are you going to explain to me? My sister, I didn't expect you to be so selfish. You're afraid that Hank will like me, so he won't like you anymore, right?"

"What are you talking about?" I never thought about it like that. I just wanted to make sure whether Hank really liked Betty.

If Hank really liked Betty, I would definitely bless them.

But Hank didn't like Betty and didn't refuse her.

My tragedy was Betty's future.

Falling in love with someone who didn't love you was too painful.

I really didn't want Betty to experience the pain I had suffered.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

That was all I wanted.

I tried to explain to Betty.

But she didn't want to listen to me at all.

She continued to roar at me, "You're such a hypocritical person. You told me you wouldn't hold on to the past. You said that you had nothing to do with Hank. Then why are you stopping us from being together now?"

"I really have nothing to do with Hank! I did this just for you. If..."

"Enough! Don't try to deceive me anymore. I know that because of brother-in-law, you don't like Hank. Now that brother-in-law has divorced you, you thought of Hank again. You are afraid that Hank will like me!" Betty said quickly.

I couldn't stand it anymore and pushed Betty.

I didn't expect that in my sister's heart, I was such a bad person.

I just wanted Betty to shut up, but I didn't expect that she didn't stand firm and fell directly to the ground.

"You pushed me?" Betty looked aggrieved, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I..." Looking at my trembling hands, I regretted my impulse.

After I confirmed that Betty was not injured, I felt more sad and heartbroken.

This was my younger sister whom I helped my mother raise up for many years. How could she treat me like this? She said that I was selfish and hypocritical. These words hurt me a lot!

If it were someone else, I wouldn't care at all. But Betty was my sister, my favorite and most trusted person. Her words were like a knife, piercing my heart.

"Humph!" Betty turned and ran into the corridor angrily.

I stood there, feeling weak. I held the handle on the stairs and sat on the stairs for a long time before I slowly lifted my legs and walked up the stairs.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard mother's scolding.

"Bella, why did you push your sister?"

"Why didn't you ask her what she said?" I said.

Then, mother began to reprimand me. "If what Betty said was wrong. You could have scolded her. Why did you push her?"

I didn't reply. I didn't want to explain to mother.

"If you didn't talk to me in a right manner. Do you think I have to hit you?" Mother was so angry that she slammed the table.

I said impatiently, "Mom, these are two different things! I just didn't want Betty to get hurt."

"Betty has already gone to university. What's wrong with her dating?" Mother asked.

I didn't want to be too direct. After all, that would hurt Betty.

But if I didn't make it clear now, I was the one who was going to get hurt.

"Hank doesn't love her! If he liked her, would he deny it so quickly? What she should do now is not to pursue a man who doesn't love her, but to study hard. Only we can rely on ourselves in the end."

At this time, mother said, "Haven't you been relying on yourself all these years? Now you don't even have a job!"

This sentence hit my heart again. I touched my chest and said, "Mom, although I don't have much ability, I have been supporting you all these years, haven't I?"

I didn't know why my mother and sister, who had always been very close to me, suddenly quarreled with me and exposed my scars.

"Do you mean that I am useless and can't support you?" Mother seemed to have been hurt and cried.

"I didn't mean that." I said in a low voice and went back to my room in frustration.

In the next few days, the atmosphere at home was very gloomy. We didn't say a word and it was so depressing that it made people want to smash things.

Betty was blinded by love. I could understand her misunderstanding towards me.

But, mother...

I didn't know why mother would be so angry when Herbert and I got divorced.

I couldn't ease my mother's anger.

In the end, I made a decision.

I had to move out and work hard to find a job.

Early this morning, after my mother and sister went out, I took my suitcase and left.

Since I didn't have a job for the time being, I temporarily lived in the rental apartment of Joey.

In the evening, after taking a shower, I was wearing pajamas and chatting with Joey on her bed.

"I'm sorry, Joey. I guess I'll have to stay here for a while." I only had two hundred dollars on me. In the absence of a job, I had to save some money.

"Dear, there's no need to be so courteous with me. If it weren't for you helping me, I might have been fired by the Wharton Group. You can stay as long as you want." Joey said with a smile.
