Rebirth: Top Actress, Your Big Shot Husband is Jealous Again!-Chapter 120: There Is No Overnight Grudge Between Family Members
Noticing the boy’s gaze, Mason Bennett lowered his head and looked into those tearful eyes, his own gaze trembling fiercely, an inexplicable dull ache piercing his heart.
Seeing him look over, Bella Green was startled, quickly lowering her head.
Samuel Gren was already shocked beyond words, never expecting that Mason Bennett would regard Bella Green with such importance?
At this moment, he was completely flustered. He was counting on the collaboration with Nathan Bennett to turn his fortunes around. Moreover, many people were already aware of this matter.
If the collaboration fell through, he couldn’t even imagine the mocking gazes of those people.
Mason Bennett turned his head and said a few words to Elliot Morris, who nodded, then looked at the people in the banquet hall and cleared his throat, saying.
"I’m sorry, but today’s banquet might have to end early; I kindly ask everyone to leave."
Upon hearing these words, the people present didn’t show any surprised expressions. Indeed, with things as they were, how could the banquet continue?
About to leave, Elliot Morris spoke again.
"Everyone, regarding today’s events, please..." Elliot’s voice paused, his gaze suddenly becoming sharp.
Everyone was taken aback, then responded with playful laughter.
"Today? Nothing happened today, nothing at all."
"Yes, yes, today’s banquet was very ordinary and smooth, nothing special occurred."
"Ah, it’s so late already, we’re full and satisfied, we should leave too."
"Exactly, exactly, nothing happened today."
Everyone laughed it off and left one by one. With Elliot Morris’s warning, no one dared to speak of today’s events.
Seeing that only a few of them were left in the hall, Samuel Gren became even more anxious. Although Mason Bennett hadn’t said anything, he knew the collaboration was likely over.
As he was thinking of how to make amends, Mason Bennett’s next words almost made his heart leap out of his chest.
"I heard the Green Family has repeatedly cut corners in construction, using substandard materials, resulting in many shoddy buildings in Brocade City."
This huge accusation threw Samuel Gren into a panic. He quickly shook his head: "How could this be? The Green Family has never done such things, Mr. Bennett, you can’t wrong us."
Mason Bennett seemed as if he hadn’t heard, continuing: "Such a poisonous entity in the industry is better off not existing."
This sentence almost crippled Samuel Gren, his legs nearly giving way.
He was still relatively composed, unlike Francesca Willis, who was so frightened she plopped down on the ground, eyes widened in a stupefied state.
Dragging his shaky legs, Samuel Gren disregarded everything else and stumbled forward. With a mournful face, he looked at Bella Green. Had it not been for Mason Bennett’s intimidating gaze, he might have grabbed Bella Green’s arm.
"Bella, can’t you speak with Mr. Bennett nicely? This matter is a misunderstanding; what family doesn’t have unresolvable knots? Dad truly loves you, otherwise, why would he have searched for you for over a decade without stopping?"
As he spoke, Samuel Gren’s eyes turned red, his voice more sorrowful: "You were our first child. Your mother and I loved you more than anything. After you went missing, your mother almost went crazy. We’ve been looking for you all these years, never giving up even knowing the chances were slim."
"After you returned, there were misunderstandings and quarrels, but isn’t every family like this to some extent? In the end, we are one family; what grudge lasts overnight? If you really blame me, hit Dad, is that okay?"
With that, Samuel Gren pulled Bella Green’s hand towards his own face.
