Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Knowing That I’m in Pain, Yet Still Foolishly Taking a Beating?
"Who hit you?"
Fiona Grantham was startled and quickly tried to explain, "Mason, let me explain..."
"Did I give you permission to speak?"
The voice wasn’t too loud or too soft, but it carried a chilling coldness that made Fiona Grantham feel as if a large hand was gripping her throat, leaving her unable to utter another word.
Bella Green looked up, gazing at the man’s face, which sent shivers down her spine, making her heart tremble.
Never before had she seen Mason Bennett look so terrifying.
Not even when she was hit by Francesca Willis, had she seen him this out of control.
Bella Green sniffled, feeling a rush of grievance in her heart, her little mouth pouting, and her voice became soft and forlorn.
"She hit me." Bella Green poked out a finger from the man’s firmly wrapped suit, pointing at Fiona Grantham.
"Bella Green, stop spouting nonsense!"
Fiona Grantham never thought Bella Green would be this shameless.
Startled by Fiona Grantham’s shout, Bella Green shrunk back, snuggling further into the man’s embrace.
Seeing her frightened look, Mason Bennett tightened his grip, gently patting her back in a comforting gesture. However, his gaze towards Fiona Grantham was anything but gentle.
Fiona Grantham was so frightened by the man’s expression that she went limp, leaning against Victor Bennett, tears streaming down her face. She shook her head repeatedly, "No, I really didn’t hit her!"
"Brother, don’t be like this, there must be a misunderstanding. How could Phoebe hit someone, Bella Green? Don’t pour dirty water on her, please."
Victor Bennett was growing anxious, seeing that his appeals were ignored, he anxiously looked at Bella Green, hoping she would quickly explain.
Bella Green raised an eyebrow, "How am I smearing dirt? She did hit me?"
Victor Bennett was so enraged by Bella Green’s arrogant demeanor that he nearly jumped up. He prided himself on understanding Fiona Grantham’s character, there was no way she’d hit someone.
"Do you have any gentlemanly conduct left? A grown man tattling, aren’t you ashamed?" Victor Bennett gritted his teeth as he looked at her.
Bella Green responded with a cheerful smile, "What business is it of yours if my brother cares for me? If you’re capable, then go tattle to your brother too."
Victor Bennett: "..." (*｀皿´*)ﾉノ┻━┻
You bastard, if you’re capable, give me my brother back!!!!!
Upon hearing Bella Green’s ’my brother cares for me,’ Mason Bennett’s back stiffened, and his eyes, once like those of a reaper, instantly transformed into something tender and gentle.
Looking down at Bella Green, despite her currently disheveled state, he found her annoyingly adorable.
And this cute little thing was his...
"You know I care, yet you foolishly let yourself get hit?" The man squinted his eyes, his tone unfriendly.
Hearing the first part of his sentence, Bella Green wanted to slap herself to death—she was practically delivering herself to a tiger’s mouth!!
Upon hearing the latter part, Bella Green immediately felt wronged, pouting her little mouth, "I’m delicate."
Hearing this, Victor Bennett almost bulged his eyes out in disbelief, his teeth itching in anger, weakling, pretty boy!!!
Mason Bennett looked at her cute demeanor, feeling his heart about to melt, but he still needed to give her a stern lesson.
"You got hit, didn’t know to hit back?"
Fiona Grantham was shocked, looking at Mason Bennett, full of disbelief.
What was he saying?
He was telling Bella Green to hit her...
Victor Bennett’s expression also changed, looking at Mason Bennett, "Brother, you can’t joke about this, Phoebe wouldn’t hit her."
"Mason, it was obviously her. She hit me and Nancy Lowe, and now she’s acting as the victim first." Fiona Grantham pushed away from Victor Bennett, pointing at Bella Green in a frenzy and shouting.
"Yes, there are cameras, check the cameras. Bella Green, there’s surveillance here, you can’t just turn black into white with your words." Fiona Grantham said excitedly, with a glimmer in her eyes.
Bella Green froze, her face completely blank, forgetting to react.
She was in big trouble now, she actually forgot about the surveillance!!! o(╥﹏╥)o
