Chapter 289

Bella‘s POV:

Betty held her daughter Anne‘s hand and walked over.

I didn‘t expect that they were also in mother‘s house. Moreover, they were all wearing home clothes. It seemed that they should live here. The next moment, I thought, “Last time, Hank said that he would definitely divorce Betty. Could it be...” “Why can‘t father live here? After all, he is our father!” Betty said.

“You‘re right, Betty,” Ryan added. Hearing this, I looked at Betty in disbelief. I didn‘t understand why she suddenly spoke like this. In the past, we grew up together with mother and relied on each other for survival. Both of us were equally angry with Ryan. But today Betty was called Ryan her father. “How dare you call him father? Has he ever been a responsible father? Betty, didn‘t you hate him before? Why did you become like this now? Why?” I couldn‘t accept Betty‘s way of doing things. I could still remember Ryan‘s contemptuous look when he looked at us back then.

Ryan even said at that time that Emma was his only daughter.

Betty continued to argue with me, “He was wrong in the past, but now he knows that he was wrong. Isn‘t it normal for him to be willing to return to his family? Many men couldn‘t resist the temptation of the outside world when they were young, but they still went back to their wife and children when they were old.” Hearing these incredible words, I felt a loss for words. Why did she become like this? 10 “Betty, do you really think this man is willing to return to mother‘s side? He was just injured by Connie. Once he has other choices, do you think he will still stay with mother?” I looked at Betty sadly.

In the past, I thought that it was because Hank that Betty had deliberately targeted me. But now, no wonder Hank said that he had no common language with her. Hearing this, Betty sneered and said, “I let you down? Didn‘t you let me down? Didn‘t you let mom down? Didn‘t you let this family down? You could have lived a good life, married a good man. But you only cause trouble every day. You are the worst person!” “You...” I was so angry that my hands were shaking. Mother shouted, “Don‘t quarrel, okay? You quarrel with each other as soon as you come back, what kind of life do you want to live?” After that, Betty went straight to the sofa, sat down, put her hands on her head, and looked annoyed. I took a look at Ryan and Betty. This house was really terrible. It was suffocating! I couldn‘t stay here for a minute. Then I said with disappointment, “Maybe I shouldn‘t have come back. Mom, this is the food I bought for you. I‘m leaving!” “Bella...” As soon as I turned around, my mother called out. I stopped and felt my mother‘s depressed voice. I couldn‘t help thinking, “Is my mother unwilling to take Ryan in, but forced?”

At this moment, Betty‘s phone rang and she answered the phone immediately. “How is it? Okay, we‘ll go there right away. Don‘t move. Keep an eye on him!” After that, Betty hung up the phone. Then, she anxiously said to Ryan, “Dad, our spy saw Hank go to school. We‘ll go there right away!” “Okay.” Ryan nodded and then went out with Betty, who was holding Anne. Watching them leave home in a hurry, I frowned and turned to my mother, asking in a low voice, “Mom, what are they doing?” Mother looked upset and replied, “What else can they do? They‘re going to find trouble with Hank!” Hearing this, I couldn‘t help but frown.

Then, mother said, “You haven‘t been home for a few months. You don‘t know that Hank has already filed a divorce. In order to divorce Betty, he has already resigned from college. Betty has been living here with Anne for a long time.”

Hearing this, I knew that Hank had made up his mind.

“Is Betty still unwilling to divorce?” I frowned and asked. Betty thought that Hank would be reluctant to part with Anne, so she moved back with Anne. She threatened that if Hank didn‘t stop, she would never let him see Anne.

“Hank won‘t be threatened by her at all. Betty has stayed at home for two months, and Hank hasn‘t called her yet. She asked someone to monitor Hank‘s school. When Hank goes to the school to deal with the management, she will take Anne to make trouble and ruin his reputation.” Mother‘s face was full of sadness.

Hearing this, my frown deepened. Betty used to be an obedient child, but why did her character become like this now? “But in this way, Hank will be pushed further and further away. Can‘t Betty understand?” I said. “I‘ve already persuaded her, but she just didn‘t listen. There’s something even worse. You don‘t know that one night, she called Hank and beat Anne to tears. She hoped that Hank would compromise for Anne.”

“But Hank hung up the phone directly! I don‘t want to interfere in her affairs. I just feel sorry for Anne.”

Mother was very anxious. Hearing this, I could only shake my head. I couldn‘t meddle in Betty‘s affairs, and I didn‘t want to. I could only leave it to her.

The next moment, I looked at mother and asked, “Mom, what happened to Ryan? Why did he come back? Did he live here for a long time?”

I couldn‘t accept Ryan‘s return to this house. I really didn‘t want to face this person anymore.

When Ryan was mentioned, mother also had a bitter look on her face. “A month ago, he came to our house. If I didn‘t open it, you wouldn‘t leave.”

I believed that. Ryan was a scoundrel.

Mother continued, “He stayed at home for three days and three nights. Our neighbors came to laugh at him, so Betty let him in.” “Mom, are you going to let him stay in our house like this?” I frowned and asked.

“Now Betty is helping Ryan, and I have no way to deal with them.” Mother was annoyed. Hearing this, I was very angry and said directly, “Chase him out! If he doesn‘t leave, I will call the police.”
