Samuel Green was rendered speechless, his expression changing repeatedly, but in the end, he had no choice but to force a smile.
"You silly child, do you even need to ask about something this big?"
Bella Green looked at her father’s face that changed instantly, feeling an indescribable mix of emotions, a complex blend beyond words.
In this family, Samuel was the only one who treated her relatively well, but today, this single figure she still held some affection for had completely let her down.
The sycophantic smile on that face in front of her made her feel nauseated, nauseated enough to vomit yesterday’s meal.
"And after I say it? After I say it, will you dote on me like you dote on Anna Green?" Bella Green laughed, a laughter full of sorrow and irony.
Samuel Green was momentarily stunned, unable to find words, and after a long while, he forced a dry smile and continued.
"Daddy has always loved you, treating you and your sister equally."
Bella Green’s face turned cold abruptly; how could he utter such shameless words?
"Love me, and so today’s banquet kept me completely in the dark, even trying in every way possible to drive me away after I appeared?"
Samuel Green was forced back a step by the young girl’s aggressive questioning, his throat producing several sounds that couldn’t form a sentence, leaving him at a loss for words in the face of her interrogation.
Even if he wished to shamelessly argue back, he couldn’t bring himself to start.
Behind him, Mason Bennett furrowed his brow deeper and deeper, his gaze tightly following the frail figure, as a wave of nameless anger brewed in his heart.
Previously, he thought things weren’t going well for him at home, but now it seems it’s far worse than he imagined.
He initially thought his collaboration with the Green Family would make the little one more valued at home, but unexpectedly, what he received was this outcome.
His little one, how dare these people treat him this way?
In the center of the crowd, the man’s gaze grew increasingly cold and unfeeling, his dark eyes resembling the deep sea under the night sky, rich and profound, brewing towering waves capable of destroying everything.
"Bella, how could you say such things? Today’s events were all a misunderstanding."
Suddenly, a female voice chimed in, none other than Francesca Willis, who just moments ago wished she could strangle Bella Green.
Compared to Samuel Green, she found Francesca more loathsome, stepping back to avoid the woman’s attempt to grab her hand.
Francesca Willis awkwardly smiled upon seeing this, letting her face overflow with smiles: "Bella, you are our biological child, how could we not love you?"
Anna Green looked incredulously at the scene before her, Samuel Green was one thing, but her mother, who always doted on her like she was her treasure, was now also trying to flatter Bella Green?
Her body swayed, face pale and bloodless, watching as Samuel Green and his wife now only had eyes for Bella Green, she hurriedly looked towards Daniel Green.
However, Bella Green did not spare her even a glance.
Bella Green looked at the two smiling faces in front of her, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath for fear she might lose control and tear apart those grotesque faces.
"Mr. Green’s so-called love for his child is certainly eye-opening."
Suddenly, a cold, deep, and rich voice rang out, carrying an undeniable pressure as it rushed towards the two in front of Bella Green.
The powerful aura nearly suffocated them, cold sweat on their faces as they watched the man walk closer step by step.
Mason Bennett walked slowly and leisurely, with elegance and dignity.
However, Samuel Green felt that the one slowly approaching seemed like a lazy yet threatening lion...
