Yet Victor Bennett, who had been harshly treated before, was already used to it.
But hearing Bennett grandma’s words, he couldn’t help but look at Mason Bennett with a face full of resentment, carrying a trace of accusation.
Actually, Bella Green is his own brother, right?
After a meal, everyone felt unsettled.
Noah Bennett went straight back to the study upstairs and also called Mason Bennett over.
Bella Green and others returned to the living room.
Fiona Grantham looked toward the upstairs direction, feeling some dissatisfaction; she hadn’t had the chance to say a few words to Noah Bennett yet.
"By the way, Bella, did you just say someone’s fans accused you of trying to gain traction? Have you entered the entertainment industry?" Bennett Grandma suddenly recalled.
Bella Green glanced at the someone, and smiled, "Yes, grandma."
Bellamy Homes chimed in with a smile, "Bella, are you an actress?"
Upon hearing this, Bella Green looked at her. However, the woman’s face only had a standard smile, almost as if measured perfectly, with nothing else discernible.
But thinking about her previous attitude toward Fiona Grantham, it seems she doesn’t like actors?
Right then, she smiled and replied: "Yes."
Yet before Bellamy Homes could respond, Bennett Grandma exclaimed.
"My goodness, my dear Bella is even a star, so amazing!"
Bella Green blushed from the compliment, awkwardly tugging at the corner of her mouth: "Grandma, I’m not really a star, just acted in one play."
"Exactly, compared to Phoebe, he’s far off; not known at all, yet has the audacity to call himself a star."
Victor Bennett scoffed, speaking disdainfully.
Bella Green looked at him with a half-smile, sarcastically saying: "Comparing a newbie actor who has shot for a little over a month with an actress navigating the industry for five years, if you’re looking out for me that’s one thing; otherwise, people might think you don’t care much for our acclaimed actress."
This remark completely countered Victor Bennett’s argument.
It immediately left him speechless, glaring at Bella Green before hastily explaining to Fiona Grantham.
"Phoebe, I didn’t mean it that way, this brat is talking nonsense."
Fiona Grantham smiled at his words: "I naturally know you didn’t mean it."
After speaking, she discreetly glanced at Bellamy Homes, then looked at Bella Green with slight reproach.
"Bella, Victor meant no harm; if you dislike me, you could just target me alone, why make Victor uncomfortable?"
Bella Green raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, her smile grew deeper.
In front of the Bennett family, accusing her of bullying Victor Bennett—that’s clearly stirring resentment against her, Fiona Grantham is inciting hostility.
"Oh, speaking the truth makes him uncomfortable? Unfortunately, I prefer to speak honestly and lack the skill to bootlick like our renowned actress."
"Bella Green, you..."
"Moreover, I’m targeting you, so what’s it to you?"
The young man raised his chin slightly, arching his eyebrows, provoking Fiona Grantham to the point she nearly gritted her teeth to bits, yet calmed down in the next second.
This Bella Green really mistook ignorance for charm—acting so arrogant and disrespectful in front of the Bennett family, doesn’t he know he’s quite disliked?
"Bella Green, are you sick? Why do you have to bully Phoebe when she hasn’t done anything to you?"
Bella Green’s blunt words directly enraged Victor Bennett, causing him to spring up from the sofa.
Bella Green raised her eyelids, looking at him with raised eyebrows, half-smiling: "My bullying her is none of your business."
The overly direct remark made Victor Bennett’s face flush red, not knowing what to say. The rightful source is NoveIＦire.net
That scoundrel admitted it rather straightforwardly!!
