"Mom, look at her. How could she say that? She wronged me." Rosia covered her face while weeping, as if she had suffered great grievances.
Mrs. Charles was so angry that her heart ached. She pointed at Bella and said, ",If you don't come with me, we'll break off. You won't a Charles anymore. You and your psychotic mother had better stay away from the Charles."
"That's what I think." Bella snorted, but felt distressed inside.
"Mom, let's go. I think she's obsessed with this man. She only wants to have sex with him." Rosia deliberately said it to provoke Mrs. Charles.
Bella went forward and slap her in the face when she heard what Rosia had said.
Rosia was caught unawares. She stayed there in astonishment. Mrs. Charles was also stunned. Bella said hatefully, "Watch your mouth."
Rosia put her hand on her cheek, and tears ran down. "Mom, she hit me. You must do something."
Without any better solution, Mrs. Charles pointed at Bella and scolded, "Shameless girl. You know no respect. How can you hit her? You're as disrespectful as your mother. I'll tell your father."
Bella glanced at her hand in satisfaction. "I have long wanted to hit her. I did it too lightly. If she dares to meddle in my affairs again, I will beat her to death."
"God, is that something that a lady can say? Bella, your mother had taught you into a monster. Rosia, let's go." Mrs. Charles was so furious that she could no longer speak properly.
Bella stared at them as they entered the elevator. Her resentment dissipated when the elevator closed, and she couldn't even stand firmly.
Ben walked over and supported her, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I'm sorry. You must find my family very ridiculous" Bella felt very embarrassed. She seemed to be a weirdo to be brought up in such family. Just now, her grandmother called her monster. Perhaps, she was right. She didn't know herself now.
"No. Come in." Ben felt her sorrow and was sorry for her.
The sarcasm of family was even more painful than wounds. She must have endured so many grievances before.
Bella was trembling uncontrollably on the sofa. She buried her face in her arms, not willing to look at Ben.
Ben fetched a glass of water and sat opposite her, looking at her tenderly.
Her shoulders twitched as she couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
"Don't cry. They're not worth your tear." Ben didn't know how to comfort her.
Bella knew crying was useless. She wiped her tears away and said, "I will go back tomorrow, go through official procedures and cut ties with them. I will not see them."
"You should. I support your decision." Ben said softly.
Bella looked at him blankly, "Forget what they said. Don't take it seriously."
"I only care about what you said. Did you mean it when you said I was your boyfriend?" Ben's thin lips curled up as he asked.
