Bride of Mr.Billion

Chapter 221

Bella’s POV:

Soon, it was Anne’s birthday. Hank prepared a party at home, and I went with mother.

I entrusted Lucky to my neighbor. I was ready to come back as soon as I gave Anne the gift. On one

hand, I was worried about Lucky. On the other hand, I didn’t want to have a conflict with Betty

Almost all the guests had arrived.

I saw Hank and Betty from a distance. Betty was wearing a pink dress and looked very beautiful. Hank

was still in his usual white shirt. He still looked like a gentleman.

Betty held a tray in her hand, which was filled with red packets and gifts from the guests.

“Betty is over there.” Mother pointed in Betty’s direction. “Okay.” I nodded and followed her.

At this time, Hank saw mother and I. He was stunned and then walked toward us.

Betty glanced at Hank in the blink of an eye. When she saw Hank walking towards mother and I, she

quickly called out, “Hank!”

Betty took his arm and walked towards us with a smile.

“Mom… Sister, you’re here?” Hank looked a little unnatural when he called me.

After all, on such an occasion, he still had to call me sister.

It was really uncomfortable for me to be called sister by Hank. I always felt a little uncomfortable, but I

still tried to smile.

“Where’s Anne?” asked mother.

“She was sleepy just now. The nanny brought her to the room to sleep.” Betty replied.

“Oh, children need a lot of sleep,” mother said with a smile.

Then, mother took out a big red velvet box and handed it to Betty, saying. This is a gift I bought for Anne.

Please keep it for her.”

Betty took it happily. “Thank you, mom.” “Thank you for your gift, mom,” Hank said sheepishly.

“You’re welcome. I hope that Anne will grow up healthy and happy.” Mother said with a smile.

At this time, I quickly took out my gift and glanced at Betty. Then I handed it to her and said, “This is my

gift to Anne.”

Just as I had expected, Betty stretched out her hands to take it and said happily. “Thank you, sister.”

“You’re welcome.” I smirked. Betty was really hypocritical. She could shout at me when no one was

around, and she could use endless sarcastic words. When there was someone, she would show a

smiling face to let others think that we were very close.

| suddenly felt that I was acting with her. I was a little tired and really didn’t want to continue acting

Chapter 221

At this time, Hank looked at me and said, “Long time no see. Have you been doing well? Hearing this, I

glanced at Betty. Betty held Hank’s arm tighter. She must have not told him about my recent situation.

Hank thought that I had been working for Wharton. Originally, I didn’t intend to have any more

interactions with him, so I said lightly, “It’s been smooth.” “That’s good. Let’s have a meal together some

other day.” Hank suddenly sent me an invitation. He meant to take Betty and mother with him.

“Okay.” I nodded with a smile as a perfunctory reply.

At this time, Betty held Hank’s arm and said with a warm smile, “Sister, you haven’t come to my house

yet. Before you leave, you must come to our house as a guest!” Hearing this, I frowned and thought,

“When am I leaving? Lucky is still so young now, and I need mother’s help. I’m not planning to leave.”

The next moment, I realized that Betty’s words were meant for Hank. Sure enough, Hank frowned and

asked me, “Do you still want to go back to work?”

I didn’t know how to answer.

At this time, mother asked me, “Bella, why do you still want to go back to Wharton? You’re have to take

care of…” Betty said, “Mom, my sister told me herself last time. Am I right?” I looked into Betty’s eyes

and felt that Betty was really confusing now. How could she lie so naturally? I knew that she did this

because she didn’t want Hank to know that I was very close to him. Perhaps, as long as Hank didn’t

appear in my life, Betty wouldn’t take the initiative to cause me trouble. So I didn’t expose Betty’s lie. I

said, “That’s my plan.” Hearing this, Hank nodded, and his eyes looked a little lonely “I still have

something to do. I’m leaving now.” I felt that the scene was suffocating, so I quickly left. “Bella, I’ll be

home in about two hours,” Mother said to me immediately.

“Yes.” I nodded.

At this time, Betty handed the tray in her hand to Hank, went forward, grabbed my hand, and said with a

smile, “Sister, I’ll see you out!” “No need.” I pushed Betty’s hand away without leaving a trace. “Let me

see you out!” Betty insisted and took my hand to the exit. I didn’t shake Betty’s hand off until we reached

the entrance of the banquet hall. “Mom and Hank are inside. You don’t have to pretend anymore!” I

turned my head and said coldly. Betty drew back her hand and sneered. “Okay, let’s make it clear.” “What

do you want to do?” I stared at Betty. I knew that she must have a purpose for putting so much effort into

it. Betty took a step forward and said, “I hope you will never come to my house again!” Hearing this, I

smiled contemptuously. “Who wants to go to YOUR house?”

15 57 “Also, if Hank invites you to dinner, I hope you won’t go. You have to tell him that you’re not free. In

short, you can’t have any dealings with him!” Betty asked me very aggressively. I really hated her

commanding tone. “Betty, listen up. I don’t want to have anything to do with Hank in the future, including

you! As long as you don’t make trouble for me, we can live a peaceful life!” After that, I turned and left.
