"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 replace 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.

Bella remained silent a few seconds before she nodded, "Of course. I mean it."

"This is enough for me. No matter what they do to you, I will stand by your side and support you." Ben comforted her.

"Rosia is too vicious. She always plots against me. If my father is broke, she won't pretend anymore. At that time, everyone will see how hypocritical she is." Bella gritted her teeth and said hatefully. "If I let your father go bankrupt, would you hate me?" Ben asked her in a deep voice.

Bella was shocked, "Can you do it?"

"Do you want me to do it?" Ben's gaze was fixed on her.

"I do. But would it be very vicious?" Bella's conscience was condemned.

"No, Rosia only wants his money. Your father will be poor for a while. When the time comes, you can help him. The Charles will respect you more. Everyone will ask you to beg me to let him go." Ben said. Bella was surprised by his plan. But could she believe him?

Seeing her expression, Ben knew that he had used the wrong way. Why would she hand over the entire family to him.

"Go back and think about it. I don't want you to be bullied." Ben gently pinched her face, "If you don't save yourself, you can only count on me. If so, you won't be able to escape."

Bella was surprised by what he said. She looked at him as if she saw hope.

"Ben, do you think I'm afraid? I'm not. I don't mind having sex with you today. What they think is none of my business. Even if I sleep with you, they can't do anything to me." Bella bit her lip and mocked herself. There was a trace of sadness in her eyes.

Ben looked at her in shock. He knew that she was a brave girl, but he still felt very protective when underwent hardships.

"It's not like that. I'm not ready either." Ben lied when he saw her fair skin through the neckband.

Bella held hand. "You helped me just now, I have to repay your kindness."

She then pressed his hand on her chest. Ben felt something very soft. It was like his entire body had been electrified.

"Bella, don't be rash." Ben's voice became hoarse. He broke free from her grip with a gentle force. He stood up and turned his back to her, "They look down on you. But you are not like that. Go to sleep. You need to go back to the Charles tomorrow."

Bella relaxed. She was very tired both physically and mentally.

"Alright, then I'll go upstairs." Bella reached out and folded her arms. She walked upstairs with her head down.

Ben's gaze was fixed on her. He had mixed feelings. If he had been more shameless and bolder, wouldn't he have been more intimate with her?

Rosia's hand was still on her cheek. She was sobbing and feeling wronged.

"Mom, Bella is too arrogant. I am her stepmother. She dared hit me." Rosia was pretending to be vulnerable. She cried out all of Bella's evil deeds.
