Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Why does it feel like being kept?
This relentless remark made Kyle Hughes’s face change multiple times, contorted and ugly.
A mere extra, daring to speak to him like that?
"Bella Green!" he growled lowly, then glanced around, having no choice but to swallow his anger and continue.
"What do you want? Money or resources? I can give you both."
Bella Green’s gaze glinted coldly, each word like a shard of ice.
"I want you to stay far away from me!"
Kyle Hughes was losing his temper as well. Bella Green was the only person he feared.
"I don’t want to provoke you, but you have to promise not to spread what just happened."
"I already said I didn’t hear anything. Now, can you move aside?" Bella’s patience was wearing thin.
Kyle’s face was ashen with anger, yet he stepped aside.
Watching Bella walk past him and disappear around the corner, his expression remained sullen.
He wasn’t sure if Bella genuinely didn’t hear what he said or was just pretending, but either way, it made him uneasy and wary...
...
Because Mason Bennett was there, the dinner didn’t last long, ending around nine o’clock.
Bryce Xavier, drunk, dragged her aside and talked to her about the payment issue, saying it had already been transferred to her account.
She had no fame, no company, so the remuneration agreed upon initially was pitifully low; even after finishing a play, it wasn’t much money.
However, even so, Bella Green had a small personal stash now.
In the car, Mason watched the young girl in the passenger seat, holding a bank card with a blissful expression, frowning slightly.
"Just a few thousand bucks, and you’re this happy?"
At this, Bella rolled her eyes: "What do you know? A few thousand bucks is my first pot of gold, you understand what that means?"
Mason looked at her and suddenly tossed his wallet over.
Staring at the wallet in her arms, Bella looked confused, turning to Mason: "What do you mean?"
"There are a few cards inside, see which one you like."
Bella: "..." Why does this feel like being kept?
"If you didn’t like the black card from before, pick another." Mason said while driving.
"What do you mean?"
Hearing this, Mason turned his head to glance at her.
"Get a set of clothes, come for dinner this weekend, dress nicely."
Bella: "..." So giving her money to buy clothes, then meet his parents?
"Mason Bennett, isn’t it a bit too early to meet the family now?"
"It’s not early; you’ve met Grandma and Aryan already. Meeting my parents is only a matter of time."
The casual tone made Bella feel a headache, and after a while, she continued.
"But, Grandma only thought I was your brother. If you say we’re, you know, in that kind of relationship, wouldn’t she get so angry she’d have a heart attack? And if your parents kicked me out with a broom, how embarrassing would that be, right?"
Bella’s bright black eyes looked at him, earnestly analyzing.
Mason suddenly smirked.
"Are you afraid they’ll tear us apart?"
Bella: "..." What the heck, tear us apart? Big brother, when can your brain be on the same wavelength as mine?
As she was sulking and thinking about how to refuse this dinner, suddenly, Bella had a flash of inspiration, and her eyes lit up.
Why should she refuse? If the Bennett parents want to tear them apart, wouldn’t that be even better?
She couldn’t handle this man, but could his parents deal with him?
