The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became tense, with the two of them staring at each other across most of the table.
Isaac Manning frowned and looked at Daniel Green: "Daniel, what are you doing? Can’t you see how she’s bullied Anna?"
Daniel Green’s face was dark, and he replied coldly with a terrible tone: "This is the Green Family’s business, it’s not for you to interfere. No matter what, Bella is the second daughter of the Green Family. Are you disregarding our Green Family?"
Isaac Manning was embarrassed, and his expression turned unpleasant. Anna Green had a good relationship with this brother, so he had always treated Daniel as one too.
Therefore, he wouldn’t shy away from speaking his mind to Daniel, and sometimes, Daniel would even vent his frustrations about this outsider sister to him.
He had never expected Daniel to speak to him in front of so many people.
Isaac Manning’s expression instantly looked like he had swallowed a fly. Despite Anna Green and Daniel’s young age, he couldn’t bring himself to argue with a teenager.
Fuming and furious, he glared at Bella Green and finally snorted coldly, refusing to speak further.
Anna Green stared at Daniel Green in disbelief, shocked and struck by a sense of inexplicable panic.
"Daniel..." she called out urgently.
"Sis, I’ll take her away first." Daniel Green interrupted her, striding over to them.
Anna Green’s eyes flashed with panic. No, she couldn’t let Daniel take Bella away just like that.
Daniel’s attitude had already been unsettling her recently, and today’s episode made her feel even more terrified.
She didn’t understand why everything she had meticulously planned turned out this way in the end.
"Daniel." Anna Green tearfully grabbed the young man’s sleeve.
Daniel Green stopped, softening slightly at the sight of her tearful face,
With a sigh, he patted Anna’s hand and softly said: "Sis, today is Isaac’s welcome party. Making a scene only embarrasses the Green Family."
Anna Green sighed with relief at his words, forcing a smile: "I’m sorry, Daniel, it’s all my fault."
As she spoke, mist filled her eyes again.
"It’s not your fault." Daniel Green said.
Bella Green watched the young man approaching, her brow barely moving at all. She hadn’t expected Daniel to come forward and resolve the situation for her.
In her previous life, at the same event, Daniel hadn’t stood up for her; instead, her presence had provoked his anger.
However, she didn’t plan to leave easily.
"No need." She refused.
Daniel Green frowned, displeased: "Stop making a scene."
Bella Green glanced at him calmly: "I have an appointment tonight. I am already very late because I came to deliver the wallet."
Anna Green gritted her teeth, surprised that Daniel had brought the topic back to the wallet. She had clearly agreed to attend Vivian’s welcome banquet tonight. How could she have another appointment?
"Bella, you don’t need to say that. Actually, if you wanted to come for Vivian’s welcome, we would have welcomed you."
Bella Green looked at her, curled her lips into a smile but said nothing.
"What’s Anna Green’s deal? Why does she seem so sure Bella came to welcome Vivian? Didn’t Bella say she came to deliver something? She said she postponed her appointment to come here."
"Exactly, she said the photo stickers were already treasured in the album, how did Bella find them?"
"Didn’t you notice Bella hasn’t said anything from the very start, it was Anna who kept saying she came to welcome Vivian? Even the seat wasn’t mentioned by Bella, was it?"
"Now that you mention it, that really seems to be the case, and Bella’s expression is so baffled..."
"Am I the only one who thinks Bella is actually quite beautiful?"
