"Your aunt knows about this matter. Furthermore, she seems to have known about it a long time ago. She has been bullying and suppressing them. Since something wrong has happened to their company, your aunt begins to play dirty." The more Susan spoke, the angrier she became.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
The woman sitting on the sofa had tears in her eyes. The girl beside her was also pinching her clothes nervously in her hand. She seemed to expect this matter would change for the better.
Bella couldn't help but stoop down and look at the girl on the sofa. Why did she look so familiar? Had she seen her before?
"If I don't agree with her request, she will ruin my daughter. I was at my wit's end. My daughter is only twenty-one years old ... How can she marry an old man? Even if I risk my life, I will never agree." She cried, helplessly and uneasily.
"Mom, stop crying. I'll marry that old man." All of a sudden, the girl sitting next to that middle-aged woman spoke. Her words astonished everyone. Her eyes were full of determination instead of tears.
Bella widened her round eyes in disbelief. Comparing with this girl, Bella was like a flower in a greenhouse, unable to withstand the wind and rain outside. However, this girl of her age seemed to be tough in her bones. This embarrassed Bella.
"June, no! Once you marry an old man, you will be ruined." Her mother burst into tears.
"June?" Bella suddenly cried out her name, "Are you really June?"
June looked up at her with eyes filled with sorrow and despair.
Bella patted her head forcefully. She finally recalled who this girl was. Wasn't she the actress who had gained some fame recently? She was also a good dancer. She filmed an online drama after she was discovered by the star scouts.
Seeing the despair in her eyes, Bella's heart skipped a beat. Immediately, Bella sympathized with her.
"Mom, how could my uncle and aunt do such a thing? I am absolutely speechless." Bella also felt sorry for June and her mother.
"Your uncle would do anything. I can't believe he is such a man. Lina, what's your plan?" Susan couldn't help but ask that woman.
"No, I have no plan." Lina shook her head hopelessly. It was obvious that she was at a loss. It's not easy for them to have a stable life. June had a career through her efforts. It seemed that their life was getting better. However, June was asked suddenly to marry an old man. And if she did not agree, she and her mother would be driven away from a peaceful life.
"Mom, let's go. Stop begging them. They won't help us. They're families." June did not hold any hope. She came here because she did not want to disappoint her mother. However, the result was obvious that Bella and Susan would not offer any help.
Quickly, Bella explained, "June, it's not that we don't help you. You know what kind of people my uncle and aunt are. Even if we want to help you, we can't."
"Then I'll take my daughter to hell." Lina cried and patted her chest bitterly. She was desperate.
"Mom, why are we going to hell? I don't want to. I still want to live well. Marry an old man? OK, I agree. Though fate doesn't do justice to us, I don't believe that there's anything more miserable than this." Then June stood up and dragged her mother away.
Bella strode out and chased after them. Actually, she admired June. June said that because she was in despair, but she was also looking forward to the arrival of hope.
"June, please wait. If you agree to marry that man, I can help you investigate him. Then I could tell you his character. If he is a bad man, I advise you to think twice. Also, if he is a good person, I will tell you. Give me your phone number, ok?" Bella looked at June sincerely.
At first, June did not trust Bella. But she was moved by the sincerity in Bella's eyes finally. Then she took out her phone and handed it to Bella. Immediately, Bella dialed her own phone number. Then she watched as June and her mother entered the elevator.
Bella was still worried till the elevator door closed. She turned around and went back to her room. Looking at her mother, bewildered, Bella couldn't help but ask, "Mom, can't we help them?"
"You know what kind of person your aunt is. I had enough of your aunt's angry look and sarcastic words when I lived with them before." Susan frowned and had no idea.
"Why don't you call my aunt and ask her to take other measures? I think it's too miserable for June to marry an unfamiliar man. She is so young. If it were me, I wouldn't agree." Bella couldn't forget June's desperate gaze. As a person of her age, Bella could feel June's confusion, helplessness, and fear.
"Alright, I'll make a call." Susan also wanted to help. So, she called Adah, her sister-in-law.
Bella's uncle was several years older
than Susan. And Bella had two cousins, both of whom were older than her. She didn't know what was going on. Did her uncle force his illegitimate daughter to substitute for his legitimate daughter tomarry an old man? That old man was abnormal too. He didn't care what kind of woman he was about to marry. That's too scary.
"Hello, it's Adah." Adah's voice rang out, carrying the affinity on the surface.
"Hi, Adah, this is Susan. A woman called Lina came to me with her daughter and told me your plan ..."
"That shameless bitch came to you? Why didn't she and her daughter go to hell?" Adah cursed before Susan could finish speaking. Quickly, Susan and Bella turned downcast.
"Don't ask anything since you knew your brother had had an affair with Lina before. It's all your brother's fault. For so many years, I have to endure Lina and her daughter. I lived in anguish. And I think they have taken a lot of money from my family. Now that the company is in trouble, What's wrong with asking her daughter to help?" Adah's voice was very sharp. It could be seen that she wanted to vent her anger.
"But they ..."
"Susan, mind your own business. You can't understand the pain I've suffered. If you interfere, then we should not contact any longer. You failed in your marriage, and how can you even meddle in other people's affairs?" Adah derided Susan. Obviously, she would not give in on this matter at all.
When Bella heard her aunt's words, she hung up the phone immediately before her mother could say anything else.
