"Rosia, stop crying. I know that she is ruthless and unreasonable. But don't tell Beck about her beating you. After all, he's her father. Be patient for a while, and I will make her apologize to you sooner or later." Although Mrs. Charles was extremely angry, she was not foolish. Her son meant the most important to her. She did not want him to be bothered.
When Rosia heard this, a trace of resentment flashed through her eyes. She was beaten, but she couldn't tell Beck? If so, why was her beaten?
"Yes. I won't say anything." Although Rosia had hatred towards Bella, she still had to listen to Mrs. Charles, before whom she had to act as a sensible and considerate daughter-in-law. Mrs. Charles was the most important person to Beck. He could ignore his wife and children, but he would never have the guts to go against his mother.
"Rosia, you are so thoughtful. I'll tell Beck to treat you well. Let's go back. As for Bella, tomorrow I will make her no longer a Charles." Mrs. Charles was happy about Rosia's reply. Rosia was a good child, unlike Susan, who would probably still be in a ruckus.
"Alright. I'll do as you say, Mom. I believe you will make the decision for me," Rosia said gently.
The next morning, Bella woke up early. She found a worker and asked him to change the lock of the house.
Ben was upstairs making breakfast for her. Seeing Bella come upstairs wearing a new set of clothes, he said, "Come here. Breakfast is ready. Do you have class today?"
"Yeah. I'll take the morning off and go back to the Charleses," Bella did not sleep well last night. She looked tired.
"Do you want me to go back with you?" Ben asked in a low voice. He was worried that she wouldn't be able to handle it alone.
"No. It's okay. I can do this alone. I won't be overwhelmed by them," Bella forced a smile at him.
"Alright then. Be careful. Call me if you need anything," Ben didn't want to get in the middle of her family. It might not be a bad idea for her to go back alone. She would learn to grow.
After Bella had breakfast, she drove back to her family's house.
When Beck saw her, he immediately smiled, "Bella, why are you here? Did you have breakfast?"
"Bah." Suddenly, a little boy ran over and spat out a mouthful of food at Bella's feet.
Bella directly kicked him over. The little boy couldn't run fast, and he cried on the floor. "Bella, what are you doing? He is your younger brother! How can you hit a child?" Rosia immediately ran over and scolded her.
However, Beck frowned. He said to Rosia, "Rosia, see that your son is disciplined. Bella is his sister. He should have showed her some respect."
Bella's expression was cold. But she was in a better mood when hearing her father defend her.
"Dad, I know that you still recognize me as your daughter, but I won't come back here anymore. I want to move my mother and I out of our hukou (a household-registration system, when you move out of a hukou, you are no longer one of the family)," Bella said resolutely.
"Well, Bella, what's going on? You're my daughter. You're not married yet. Why do you want to move out?" Beck scolded her angrily.
"Beck, that's exactly what she wanted. Why are you stopping her? Can't you see? She doesn't want to be a Charles anymore," Rosia sneered.
"Bella, have you thought it through? If you move out of our hukou, you won't have any shares in the company anymore," Beck tried to threaten her.
Bella was calm as usual, "Dad, the company is yours. You can give the shares to whoever you want. You'll still give it to me if you want, regardless of whether I'm a Charles or not."
"That being said, why would you do that?" Beck didn't know that she had spent the night at Ben's house last night.
