Chapter 222

Chapter 222

Bella just felt weird and awkward, as if a million little ants were crawling along her ankles and up her

calves.

This belated tenderness was sour, like expired milk.

Bella took out her phone and called Steven. “Steve, I’m at Tideview Manor in Savrow. Come and pick

me up now.”

“What?!” Steven was shocked. “Why are you there?!”

“Sigh, it’s a long story. Come here first. I’ll tell you about it later.”

After hanging up the phone, Bella walked straight upstairs.

She did not want to stay in this house for too long, so she wanted to pack up her costumes and leave

as soon as Steven arrived.

The room she used to stay in was not too far from Carrie’s room. She asked the servant about Carrie’s whereabouts and thought of going over to see her.

As soon as Bella walked to the door of Carrie’s room, she heard Bethany’s shrill voice coming from

inside.

“You little bitch! What on earth did you and Mr. Hoffman do at Grandpa’s birthday party that day?! Tell me now!”

“Nothing… Really…” Carrie’s crying voice broke Bella’s heart.

“Bullshit!”

Bethany became even angrier, thinking that Carrie was lying to her. “How could you have done nothing with him after getting drugged? Where did the red marks on his neck come from?! Did he get bitten by a dog?!”

“I don’t know! I don’t remember. I really don’t remember… Ah!”

Shatter–!

Suddenly, a vase shattered on the floor.

Bella’s eyes turned red with anger. She clenched her fists tightly and kicked open the door, startling the furious Bethany.

“You again?!”

As soon as Bethany returned to her senses, she felt something flying in front of her eyes.

In the next second, something hit her in the face.

“Ah!”

Soon after, another slipper came flying toward Bethany’s face again.

Bethany’s nose was swollen. She was seeing stars, and there were shoe prints on her forehead. She

looked ridiculous.

Bethany covered her forehead and pointed at Bella’s face. She was so furious that she was speechless.

“Did you drink toilet water? You have such a foul mouth.” Bella crossed her arms in front of her chest, tilted her head, and flashed a stunning and threatening smile.

“Annie…” Carrie huddled in the corner and shivered.

Seeing Bella, Carrie was so excited that her lips trembled slightly and tears streamed down her face.

“Bella Thompson! You crazy bitch!”

Bethany was infuriated. She gritted her teeth, and her face was numb and painful from the impact. The soles of these slippers were more lethal than a slap. “Don’t think that you’re so great just because you’re a Thompson! As a Salvador, I’m not inferior to you! I won’t let you get away with hitting me today!”

“Then you’d better keep your word. Otherwise, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have a reason to beat you up.”

Bella did not take Bethany seriously. Her beautiful eyes were cold and mocking. “If you’re so great, you wouldn’t just hide here and bully your sister. If I didn’t know you were Shannon’s daughter, I would’ve thought you were raised by a bitch.”

Bethany took a while to react. Then she rushed toward Bella and yelled, “How dare you call me a son of a bitch?! I’ll fucking rip you apart!”

Bella only shook her head in disgust when she saw Bethany showing her true colors and claws.

She did not want to touch Bethany for fear of getting rabies because Bethany was like a rabid beast.

Just as Bethany’s claws were about to touch Bella, a strong arm suddenly grabbed Bethany’s wrist.

“Ow! It hurts!” Bethany suddenly felt severe pain and bent forward.

Bella felt Justin’s strong presence behind her and looked back in shock.

Coincidentally, Justin was also looking at her.

Their eyes met.

Bella thought she saw a hint of concern in his beautiful eyes, but she doubted her vision. She must

have been mistaken.

She would rather believe in magic than believe that this bastard would care about her.

“Did she hurt you?” Justin lowered his cold eyes to look at Bella. His tone was filled with unprecedented concern.
