"Bella, didn't you hear that?" Harris gloatingly leaned against the wall, "Dad asked you to get out!"

Bella took a look at her half-brother, and another at the furious Todd, and suddenly smiled, sarcastically and coldly.

"Mr. Jones, grandfather raised you and paid for you to get married and have children, now he's old, you're sweeping him out of the house, you're so ungrateful, remember not to get out when it rains, otherwise I promise you'll be struck and killed by the lightning!"

Pop!

The next second, a slap hit hard on her face.

Bella's head was beaten with a lopsided blow, and bright red slap marks appeared on her white face.

Heh.

Perhaps it was the retribution.

It was not long that she had slapped Shawn, and now it was her turn.

"Get out!" Todd burst into anger and shouted in low voice, "I don't have an ungrateful and disobedient daughter like you, get out of here now!"

"I don't really care to be here either."

Bella appeared to be extremely calm so that she seemed to be cold and indifferent, her words were also harder and harder.

"It is an insult to me to stay in the same room with you guys, such an unfilial and inhumane morally corrupt man, and a mistress who interfered in another man's marriage!"

Not giving Todd another chance to hit her, she turned around quickly.

"Bella, don't be back any more."

Before she left, Harris looked at her with a hostile look.

"I'm the only child that Mom and Dad love, and they have no place for you in their hearts."

Bella was silent for a long time, turning her head to meet his mocking gaze, "Do you know why your father loves you?"

Harris was stunned.

"Because your gender is male."

Bella answered the question herself, the sneer that hung at the corner of her eyebrows was almost overflowing, each word and sentence was both sharp and cold, poking the heart of Harris.

"All your values are constructed on your gender, that's all."

From her childhood, what she heard most from Todd was — why weren't you a boy?

The reason he cheated was also to have another son.

"Bella, you're such a........"

Harris's face changed color and he was about to curse.

Bella had turned around and left, Harris was about to chase up but he was stopped by Todd.

"Stop chasing, she's not your sister and I don't have a daughter like her, in the future you guys just consider her dead!"

Harris skimmed his mouth and stopped talking.

"Honey, I heard there's been a bit of problem at your company lately, isn't there?"

The coquettish woman pressed herself to Todd, supporting Todd's arm with her proud chest and smiling with an unsuspecting light in her eyes.

"Isn't it said that if you can pull in an investment you can turn the corner? I've heard that Manager Green, with whom you've been talking business recently, is very fond of fresh young girls, so why don't we......."

Todd frowned and glanced at her.

"What do you mean?"

Peggy laughed, "Although Bella is not obedient, she is your own daughter, she is not young, we have to plan for her, if Mr. Green can fancy her, your business problems will be solved."

Todd was touched and gave Peggy a kiss on her face, "That's a good offer, but the point is she won't listen to me."

"You're her father, isn't it natural for you to ask her to obey your arrangements?"

Peggy laughed even more flirtatiously and leaned over, quickly muttering in his ear for a while, "If she doesn't want to, you can do that."

Todd nodded approvingly, "Great."

He had raised Bella, and now it was time for her to repay him.

The two men looked at each other and laughed, each with their own axe to grind.

........

Bella was oblivious to all this.

She first went to the apartment she had rented, which was a small place.

She put her belongings away and made a nutritious lunch, she put it in a thermos bucket and went to the hospital to visit old Master Jones and accompanied him for half an hour.

Early the next morning, she once again came to Sky Entertainment Group.

The receptionist told her that Carl was already waiting for her upstairs.

Today, her induction procedure was handled by Carl, who had been busy all morning, accompanying her all the way and watching her complete every process as if she was being watched.

"Can I go now?"

After finalizing the formal and complicated signing, Bella immediately wanted to leave.

Carl glanced at the vigilance in her eyes, his clear and handsome face was as bland as ever, as if he had sensed what she was thinking, shallowly hooking his lips, "Miss Jones please rest assured, young master is not in Sky Entertainment today."

Upon hearing this, Bella was relieved in heart, but she snorted, "What does it have to do with me if he's around?"

Carl didn't pick up the conversation and calmly turned away from the topic, "I'll give you three days to rest, three days later join in the crew to film Blind Heart, and the company will equip you with a good assistant and agent that day."

"Let the assistant go." Bella shook her head, "I don't need."

To be honest, she was here purely for the one million dollars.

Who knew that by accident, she became an actress of Sky Entertainment?

Just thinking about what Shawn said yesterday, she had an urge to break the contract!

Perhaps, she had to think of a way to draw a line with Shawn as soon as possible.

"Sure."

Carl saw she looking at the time frequently, so he gently sidled over his body.

"I'll walk you out."

"I have legs of my own."

Originally, Bella had a good impression of Carl, but ever since he helped Shawn and made her in trouble, she had been filled with anger towards the number one henchman of Shawn.

Looking at her back, Carl silently hooked his lips.

Coming to the elevator, Bella pressed the button of 1.

Ding--

The elevator door opened.

Bella was about to enter in, while the scene in front of her made her startled and she took several steps back!

She only saw Shawn leaning lazily against the side of the elevator, with one hand stuck in the pocket of his light blue trousers, a pair of charming and soulful eyes half-squinted, the corner of his red lips habitually curved slightly, his posture was always lazy and unrestrained.

Beside him stood a tall, bright-faced woman, holding his arm in one hand and a cell phone in the other.

From time to time the phone rang with a shout of "Warriors, fight!"

"......" Bella was dumbfounded.

"The contract is done?"

Once Shawn saw her, he immediately raised one eyebrow.

"Well."

Bella did not know what to say, just answered vaguely.

The woman standing next to Shawn turned off the game, a pair of watery eyes seemingly born with love swept Bella, then smiled sweetly, charmingly and also particularly vaguely, her tone was like praise, "Shawn, is this your new favorite? Look good, shouldn't she and I be sisters from now on?"

Sisters?

What the hell?

Bella was in a trance, then she saw that Shawn outstretched his arm, and took the woman's shoulders like brothers, smiling wickedly.

"Rest assured, you will always be the Empress."

"All right."

The woman nodded, looked into Bella's stunned eyes, smiled and extended her hand, "Hello, my name is Rose Well, Shawn's fiancée, we might have a lot of time together in the future, let's get to know each other first."

"......."
