Chapter 245 - 237: Reap What You Sow
"Bella Woods, what’s wrong with you? I stood up for you, why did you hit me?" Oliver Hughes was slapped, and his anger flared up.
"I don’t know what’s wrong with you, but if you claim what you did was to stand up for me, Oliver Hughes, ask yourself if you really believe that."
"Ever since Aunt Cyan asked me to follow you, and to marry you in the future, you’ve looked down on me and pitied me. Because you felt that since you couldn’t control your own marriage, you might as well choose someone obedient, so even if you play around outside, I wouldn’t dare say anything."
"And yet, the me you look down on actually took the initiative to break up with you, and even caused a scene at our engagement party, leading to a lot of gossip about you, which is why you’re upset.
Oliver Hughes, stop masking your actions as being for my own good. What you’re doing is just trying to drag me down with you, trying to prove that I, Bella Woods, can never defy you or disobey you because I’m not worthy!"
Bella Woods cast this matter aside.
"If you feel you’re still upset, you can step forward at the banquet and humiliate me, say that I’m unworthy of being the Hughes family’s daughter, and even expose me for keeping a little pretty boy. Whatever you want, but on the condition that once you’re satisfied, you leave me alone."
Right now, Bella Woods felt that any reputation or good memories in Peace City were nonsense.
She just wanted to sever ties cleanly.
"You..." Oliver Hughes was caught off guard by Bella Woods’ words: "You’d rather ruin your own reputation than admit Ethan Marshall is a failure who can’t protect you."
