"Your aunt knows about this matter. Furthermore, she seems to have known about it a long time ago. She has been bullying and suppressing them. Since something wrong has happened to their company, your aunt begins to play dirty." The more Susan spoke, the angrier she became.
The woman sitting on the sofa had tears in her eyes. The girl beside her was also pinching her clothes nervously in her hand. She seemed to expect this matter would change for the better.
Bella couldn't help but stoop down and look at the girl on the sofa. Why did she look so familiar? Had she seen her before?
"If I don't agree with her request, she will ruin my daughter. I was at my wit's end. My daughter is only twenty-one years old … How can she marry an old man? Even if I risk my life, I will never agree." She cried, helplessly and uneasily.
"Mom, stop crying. I'll marry that old man." All of a sudden, the girl sitting next to that middle-aged woman spoke. Her words astonished everyone. Her eyes were full of determination instead of tears.
Bella widened her round eyes in disbelief. Comparing with this girl, Bella was like a flower in a greenhouse, unable to withstand the wind and rain outside. However, this girl of her age seemed to be tough in her bones. This embarrassed Bella.
"June, no! Once you marry an old man, you will be ruined." Her mother burst into tears.
"June?" Bella suddenly cried out her name, "Are you really June?"
June looked up at her with eyes filled with sorrow and despair.
Bella patted her head forcefully. She finally recalled who this girl was. Wasn't she the actress who had gained some fame recently? She was also a good dancer. She filmed an online drama after she was discovered by the star scouts.
Seeing the despair in her eyes, Bella's heart skipped a beat. Immediately, Bella sympathized with her.
"Mom, how could my uncle and aunt do such a thing? I am absolutely speechless." Bella also felt sorry for June and her mother.
"Your uncle would do anything. I can't believe he is such a man. Lina, what's your plan?" Susan couldn't help but ask that woman.
"No, I have no plan." Lina shook her head hopelessly. It was obvious that she was at a loss. It's not easy for them to have a stable life. June had a career through her efforts. It seemed that their life was getting better. However, June was asked suddenly to marry an old man. And if she did not agree, she and her mother would be driven away from a peaceful life.
"Mom, let's go. Stop begging them. They won't help us. They're families." June did not hold any hope. She came here because she did not want to disappoint her mother. However, the result was obvious that Bella and Susan would not offer any help.
Quickly, Bella explained, "June, it's not that we don't help you. You know what kind of people my uncle and aunt are. Even if we want to help you, we can't."
"Then I'll take my daughter to hell." Lina cried and patted her chest bitterly. She was desperate.
