Rebirth: Top Actress, Your Big Shot Husband is Jealous Again!-Chapter 517: Even if she explains in every possible way, she cannot gain a single word of trust
Seeing Mrs. Bennett’s momentary daze and surprise, Francesca Willis’s smile deepened, and she continued speaking.
"This Bella, from a young age, had a baby betrothal set, and after coming back, she often chased after that person. Who knew she’d end up flirting with Mr. Mason instead? But this engagement was set over a decade ago and isn’t easy to dismiss."
What she said made it seem like Bella Green easily changed her heart, abandoning Vivian Thornecroft for the powerful Mason Bennett.
Bella Green looked at her and suddenly started laughing.
Francesca Willis’s eyes turned cold: "What are you laughing at?"
"I’m laughing at you, of course. Since you’re so certain I have an engagement, why not call my fiancé over so I can ask him about this engagement too."
Francesca Willis had long expected Bella Green to say that. She had already decided to disregard her face, so what was she afraid to say?
"It’s a pity that Vivian isn’t in Brocade City right now, otherwise, I’d really call him over. Honestly, while the Thornecroft Family can’t compare to the Bennett Family, we shouldn’t be those who forget loyalty for profit, right?"
Every word was insinuating that Bella Green was fickle and forgetful of loyalty for profit.
Mrs. Bennett listened to their back-and-forth with a cold expression. Her stern face was indeed somewhat intimidating.
Seeing Mrs. Bennett’s expression, Francesca Willis smiled triumphantly.
Bella Green didn’t feel at ease. Even though this matter was fabricated by Francesca Willis, if Mrs. Bennett truly misunderstood her, she would feel somewhat disheartened.
After all, Mrs. Bennett truly cared for her. She didn’t want to be seen in her eyes as someone cunning and scheming...
"Grandma..."
"Bella." Mrs. Bennett interrupted her.
She then held her hand, placed it on her lap, gently patted it, and sighed.
"Child, you’ve really suffered."
Those words, full of compassion, stunned Bella Green, and then her nose tingled, and her eyes reddened.
How could she not understand? Mrs. Bennett was telling her that she believed in her.
Without asking anything, she assumed Bella was wronged and bullied.
This kind of trust made Bella Green feel a bit helpless and confused, yet also warm. In her mind, aside from Mason Bennett, no one else would trust her so unconditionally, without needing any explanations.
Clearly, the elderly woman in front of her wasn’t her blood relative, yet she trusted her without reason.
And the Green Family, who were her blood relatives, never believed her no matter what, even after countless explanations.
Francesca Willis didn’t expect such a reaction from Mrs. Bennett. For a moment, she looked at her in shock.
"What does Madam mean by this?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Bennett raised her chin slightly, looking at Francesca Willis with a strong presence. Though sitting on the couch, she exuded an extraordinary aura, and her tone was sharp.
"I want to ask Mrs. Green, is Bella truly not your daughter? How dare you slander her like this?"
The accusation carried a sharpness that startled Francesca Willis. She stared at Mrs. Bennett with her mouth slightly open, momentarily stunned and unable to react.
Usually, she only felt a bit of fear when Samuel Gren was angry.
But this elderly woman in front of her, despite her age, had seemed amiable just a moment ago.
Yet, her words at this moment left Francesca Willis somewhat alarmed, unable to speak.
It took a while before she, filled with agitation, angrily and indignantly shouted.
"What do you mean by this? Bella Green is my daughter, born after ten months of pregnancy. How could she not be mine?"
