Chapter 488

But in the end, even Hunter had to admit defeat to Bella’s flurry of

barbs. Bethany did not dare cause any trouble and hid behind

Shannon like a turtle that had retreated into its shell.

“Grandpa Nigel!”

Bella walked to Nigel’s side and took his dry and wrinkled hand. She

had a worried look on her face. They looked closer than Bethany was

to Nigel. “Did you call me over so late at night because you’re feeling

unwell?”

“Don’t worry, child. I’m fine.”

Nigel looked gently into her clear gaze and patted the back of her hand. “I’m fine. I’m still healthy.”

Bella sighed in relief. “That’s good, then.”

“Anna, I actually called you over this time for nothing serious. The

main reason is that I missed you and wanted to see you, but I also

wanted to ask… What on earth happened between you and Bethany?

How did things get to this point?”

Nigel said earnestly, “Both you and Bethany are my granddaughters,

and I hope you guys can get along. I feel very worried every time

things are blown out of proportion like this.”

But Bella understood that this was Grandpa Nigel’s way of speaking

up for his biological granddaughter, Bethany.

Inexplicably, her nose soured, and she choked up a little.

than water, even if the “obedient granddaughter ” he spoke of was a

malicious repeat backstabber.

“The two days Bethany was in custody were unbearable!”

Shannon took this opportunity to cry out, all choked up, as she

hugged a sobbing Bethany. “They took turns to interrogate your

granddaughter for twenty-four hours non-stop, threatening and

scolding her and not letting her sleep! Look—she’s been tortured

beyond recognition!”

Bethany did look a lot more haggard and looked even more pitiful as

she sobbed.copy right hot novel pub
