"Do you think they are very biased, right?" Bella Green suddenly laughed, her laughter carrying a sense of mystery.
Mason Bennett’s brow furrowed slightly, saying nothing.
The attitude of the Green Family was beyond mere favoritism.
"It’s not hard to understand." Bella Green smiled faintly, with a hint of indifference.
If before she would have minded or been hurt, now she felt nothing.
"They gave birth to me, but ultimately Anna Green is the daughter they’ve raised for over ten years. What does blood relation matter? Can it outweigh over ten years of being together day and night? Not even for myself; I can’t feel deeper affection for them than for my foster parents, who raised me for over ten years. Blood relations can’t negate that. If they were still alive and stood against the Green family, I am not sure if my heart wouldn’t lean towards them."
"Born into such a family, you should know that even ordinary families have trivial disputes, let alone the schemes and plots in a wealthy household. In the end, the harm the Green family caused me was merely a result of favoritism. If Anna Green had treated me like a... brother, perhaps things would have been different when I returned to the Green family."
"It’s not to excuse them for what they’ve done to hurt me, which I will not forgive. But, Mason Bennett, if all the grievances and sadness made me ruin them and their family, I couldn’t do it. There are too many unsatisfactory things in this world. Not everyone will treat me as well as you do. I can’t just vent to you every time I’m bullied and make that person bankrupt, right?"
At the end of her speech, Bella couldn’t help but laugh softly. She never imagined that one day, when talking about the Green family, her mindset would be so calm, her tone so light-hearted.
Mason Bennett looked into those bright and straightforward eyes, momentarily dazed, then frowned in displeasure and asked, "Why can’t you?"
Bella looked at him without speaking, only smiling.
She always knew the world wasn’t fair.
Her foster parents passed away, she conducted the funeral alone, earned tuition and living expenses, while uncles and aunts watched coldly or even added insult to injury. But these were not reasons for her to destroy someone else’s family...
"If the reason you’re staying with the Green family is Anna Green, then I..."
"You’re not allowed to do anything."
The man’s unfinished words were sharply interrupted by Bella.
Perhaps it was his illusion, but when Bella spoke just now, a flash of hatred and murderous intent appeared in her eyes.
"I can handle my own affairs."
Bella took a deep breath, suppressing the emotions surging up from her chest.
How could she let Mason intervene? The two lives that Anna Green owed her, she would reclaim them.
But she wouldn’t allow Mason to do these things...
After a while, Bella took a deep breath and then laughed, her laughter cold and eerie, a brightness flickering in her eyes.
"What Anna Green cares about is her status as the eldest daughter of the Green family, and the love and favoritism of Samuel Gren and his wife. If all of that were lost and became mine, wouldn’t such a blow be more satisfying than just taking everything away from her?"
Mason looked at that gloomy smile, and his breath caught, his chest tightened painfully.
Thinking of his earlier disdain and questioning made him even more depressed and annoyed.
The boy was clearly smiling, but the smile contained a darkness unknown to him, making it unreachable.
Bella Green had clearly revealed everything calmly, so why did he feel that she was suppressing something deeper inside, something he couldn’t explore...
