Chapter 100: Jane Hasis seeks a showdown with me
Aunt Lexi’s words were like a thorn in my side that I couldn’t pull out.
I was so upset that I lost any appetite.
Aunt Lexi closed his mouth, his eyes looked at me obliquely, seemed to be a little afraid of my appearance, carefully said: “Young lady, is it that I said something wrong? In fact, it’s not me who chews the tongue, who in the neighborhood doesn’t know this point ah, I’m also for your sake, let you guard against it, now men change their hearts too much, can’t prevent it …”
I give a stern look over and Aunt Lexi immediately shuts up, keeping her head down and putting away the empty bowls on the table, “I’m going to go do something.”
My heart is clogged, before Walker Richter drove Kelly Zex away, Aunt Lexi has a grudge against me in her heart, she said these words on purpose to give me a hard time.
It’s really not a good thing to care about someone.
All emotions are affected by the other person, easy to be happy and sad, and there is nowhere to vent, afraid that their behavior will make the other person think that they don’t know what they’re doing.
It was only when I realized all these negative emotions about myself that it dawned on me how I had become so pathetic.
I laughed hard at myself, always wanting to run away when I thought of that one thing or another.
Just when I was feeling low, Jane Hasis suddenly came to my door.
In the past, she would always bring a lot of things when she came, with a smile on her face, but this time, she came empty-handed, with a waxy, haggard face, not a smile in sight, and when she sat down, she didn’t dare to look at me squarely, with her hand squeezing her handbag tightly and not letting go of it, in a very nervous manner.
I poured her a glass of water and placed it in front of her, the sound of the glass falling on the coffee table was small, but she was more tense as if she had been frightened, sitting straight and upright, her shoulders shaking slightly.
She’s afraid of me.
I took a look at her expression and straightened up, sitting down on her side, “Mom, are you not feeling well today?”
“No.” Jane Hasis smiled a stiff smile and glanced behind her at the servant who had been standing.
I understood what she meant and told the servants to go down and work on something else.
The two of us were the only ones left in the large living room, I knew Jane Hasis had something to come up with today, and if she didn’t say anything I didn’t open my mouth to ask and waited for him to speak up on his own.
I sipped my tea with equanimity, and Jane Hasis didn’t hold her tongue for long before she couldn’t help but speak up, “Bella, how have you and your son-in-law been doing? Did you guys make it through your pregnancy preparation?”
“The usual.” I shook my head and said, “You can’t force something like pregnancy to happen.”
“I heard your father say, the Richter Group heir to this matter has caused the circle to boil, a lot of people are looking at in the end is the son-in-law or Ben Richter heir to the company, recently because of this, there are also a lot of people to flatter your father, the company’s earnings are also good … ”
Jane Hasis talked a lot about the company, I knew that wasn’t why she was here, she hadn’t gotten to the point yet and I wasn’t in a hurry, I’d just wait for her to take her time and I’d just listen.
The padding is almost done, Jane Hasis looked at my face and said, “This sister is broken bones between the tendons, a little bit of fault will be over, you are the Hill family’s daughter, should know the big body, know the advantages and disadvantages, right.”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Mom, I’m a bit confused by your words, what do you mean by breaking bones, who do I have a problem with?” I purposely said, “Are you worried that Dad is giving everything to Yilia Young and I’m unbalanced and not helping my mother’s family?”
“No, that’s not what Mom meant.” Jane Hasis wanted to say something, and seemed even more nervous, the handbag in her hand almost squeezing out of shape.
I frowned and put down my glass of water, “Mom, just say what you have to say, there’s no need to beat around the bush with me.”
Jane Hasis looked nervous, hesitated, suddenly kneeled down in front of me, lowered her head, confessed: “Alva, everything is mom’s fault, at first it was our carelessness that made you lost, after you found you back, mom really wanted to make up for you, but before we had the chance, you had an accident, mom knew that the body that fell off the cliff wasn’t you, but at that time, we couldn’t find your body, the Richter family came to offer a bride price to marry your sister, so we hastily claimed the body, it was all mom’s idea alone. The Richter family came to offer you a bride price to marry your sister, at that time, mom was afraid that the Richter family would think this was bad luck, so she hastily claimed the body, all of this was mom’s idea alone, it has nothing to do with Bella, please don’t hurt her, okay? You guys are blood sisters.”
Jane Hasis’ sudden confession didn’t surprise me; I knew what she was here for from the moment she walked in.
She’s really thinking about Bella Hill, going out of her way to take everything on herself.
The body was hastily claimed for fear that the Richter family would find it unlucky.
That’s a good excuse to make up.
“You get up first.” I reached out to help her, even if Jane Hasis didn’t see me as a daughter, she was my mother after all, and there was no such thing as a mother kneeling for her daughter.
Jane Hasis stubbornly refused to get up, “Alva, mom knows it’s wrong, can you forgive mom and your sister?”
Playing Bella Hill all these days, I saw clearly where I was in Jane Hasis’ heart and pressed on with the notion that she was going to make it up to me.
I pulled the corner of my mouth and mocked, “They say there are no parents under the sun, I was born by you, this gift of childbirth, I can’t repay it, where would I dare to blame you.”
“Alva,” Jane Hasis stared at me in a daze, her hands gripping my arms tightly, elation welling up in her eyes, “Are you forgiving mom? Then can you tell mom where Bella is? Where did you get her?”
Turns out she thought I’d hurt Bella Hill to take her place in this seat, and she’d come to have a showdown with me for Bella Hill’s well-being, not to be happy for me, her lost daughter.
I laughed bitterly, “Mom, what do you think I’m going to do with your wonderful daughter Bella?”
I never did Bella Hill half the harm I did her, but I was imprisoned by her in the cellar for a year, out of sight, and why didn’t Jane Hasis ask me how I got through those days?
“Alva, you are also mom’s good daughter.” Jane Hasis held my hands tightly, “Mom knows that there are some faults between your sisters, but you are real sisters, fighting and messing around is normal, you do sister’s generosity, don’t bother with your sister, she doesn’t understand things, when I turn back I will talk to her …”
“Mom.” I listened with a bellyful of anger and coldly interrupted her, “Who are you to advise me to be generous? In your eyes, am I still your daughter? Do you know what happened when Bella Hill tricked me into going out rock climbing? She imprisoned me in the cellar for a year, in the dark, and that’s what you call unintelligent? I almost lost my life there and you tell me it was just a sisterly scuffle, Mom, you’re being too biased.”
“Imprisonment?” Jane Hasis sat paralyzed on the floor at once, unbelievable: “This can’t be possible, although Bella is a little fun-loving and crazy, she won’t be without a sense of proportion, you’re her sister, how could she do something like this, there must be a misunderstanding, tell me where Bella is, mom will go and ask her in person.”
By this time, Jane Hasis was still trying to con me out of Bella Hill’s whereabouts.
At that moment, I was so disappointed in Jane Hasis that I hated myself for being her daughter.
I got up and looked at her condescendingly, numbly and coldly, “Bella Hill she’s wasted.”
