Chapter 255

Chapter 255 It’s Time to Act!

Bella went home. Her family rented a house in a community with only two bedrooms and one small living room. As soon as she entered, she felt depressed and could not help but cover her chest.

Bella saw how big Crawford Mansion was. Compared to her house, the difference was too big. She felt sad.

Bella’s mother, Sarah Fraser, saw Bella and hurriedly asked, “Bella, are you feeling uncomfortable again?

Sit down…”

Bella suddenly cried fiercely. “Mom, the Crawford family looked down on me and kicked me out! They asked me to pay back five million! It’s all my fault! I’m useless! I’m a burden to you. Where can I go to find five million?”

Bella gasped heavily.

Sarah was stunned. What? Bella felt sorry and went to the Crawford family to thank them. But they refused to accept it and asked us to pay back five million!

Sarah suddenly felt sad. Why is it so difficult for us? God always likes to bully the poor!

Sarah wiped her tears. “That’s how poor people are. How can we expect rich people to think highly of us? Forget it. We can pay them back for the rest of our lives! I’m incompetent. As long as you live well, I’ll be Satisfied!”

They burst into tears.

Jean led the unlucky ghost to find the community. “Eh? This is the building Gemma’s parents left for her!”

Although it was not a high–end residential area, it was also separated from the village. It belonged to an old residential area where the people had to climb stairs.

“Lilly, you stay in the car. I’ll help you!” Jean patted Lilly Lilly was soft and cute. She smiled. “Okay!”

Pablo stared at the building and felt a little weird. It was an old neighborhood, but the building was gloomy, with traces of a bad aura constantly floating around.

“I’ll check it out. Jean, don’t mess around.”

Jean responded, “Don’t worry. You can trust me!”

Pablo’s mouth twitched. He pretended to believe her and drifted away speechlessly Jean immediately floated upstairs with the unlucky ghost. “Let’s go. I’ll take you to have fun!”

The unlucky ghost asked, “Miss, are you trying to tease me?”

Jean said, “How can I? Am I that kind of ghost?” The unlucky ghost was speechless.

Jean was about to speak when she saw a familiar figure at the front door.

“Oh, it’s Gemma!”

Jean went up to give Gemma a pat on the head.

“Your lucky charm is almost gone. I’ll add some to you! Jean tickled Gemma’s chin affectionately.

Gemma sneezed and muttered, “What’s wrong? I feel cold all of a sudden. It seems I won’t be able to collect the rent today.”

Gemma knocked on the door. Soon, Sarah came out.

Seeing Gemma, Sarah quickly bent over and smiled apologetically. “Ms. Gemma, welcome! Please come in! We’re just about to eat!”

Gemma could not refuse Sarah, so she went in, only to see that there was only a plate of vegetables and a small bowl of chicken soup on the table. It looked so pitiful.

Bella said weakly, “Gemma, you’re here.”

Gemma asked, “Bella, you’re not in good health. Why do you cat a little?”

Sarah smiled wryly. “I’m incompetent and can’t earn money. The doctor said Bella needed to strengthen nutrition, but I…” She wiped her tears.

Bella said, “Mom, don’t talk about this matter! Gemma, are you here to collect the rent today?”

Sarah quickly said, “Yes, I’ll get the money…” She took out her wallet, rummaged through it, and found a hundred dollars.

At this moment, Bella’s father, Alex Patterson, came back and saw Gemma come to collect the rent. He rummaged through his pockets and found two hundred dollars.

Sarah smiled wryly. “Ms. Gemma, I’m sorry. How about I give you three hundred first?”

Bella burst into tears. “I’m sorry, I’m the one who dragged you down! I won’t take the immunosuppressants for next month!”

Sarah grabbed her clothes embarrassedly while Alex smoked a cigarette quietly.

Gemma was speechless. The Patterson family owed her rent for several months, and she paid the utility bills. But she knew Bella was a leukemia patient, so she dared not affect Bella’s treatment. If something went wrong, it meant she forced them to death.

“Forget it.” Gemma thought she was unlucky. So she regarded it as doing good deeds.

Bella insisted. “No, I’ll find out if I still have money. We owe too much rent…”

She picked up her bag and took out ten dollars.

Gemma said helplessly, “Ugh, forget it…”

Jean squinted her eyes. Bella’s bag was bulging, and Bella fumbled but did not open the inner compartment.

“Superman! It’s your time to act!”

The unlucky ghost was speechless. It turned out that he was here to obey Jean’s order. He had no choice but to lie on Bella’s head.

Bella took out another coin. Suddenly, the hairband on her hand accidentally caught the zipper of the bag’s middle layer.

Before Bella could react, the stack of money fell out of the interlayer!

Bella panicked. Everyone was stunned. Alex and Sarah could not imagine that Bella had so much money.

Bella had no choice but to pretend to be surprised. “How did this come about? I know it! Yesterday I went to the hospital for a reexamination, and a woman insisted on pulling me… She must have given it secretly…”

Jean was speechless. Bella was good at acting.

As the money was revealed, Bella could only insist on giving Gemma all the rent and bills owed for several months.

Gemma was in a daze until she went out the door. They owed rent for several months, and she got it back. It went so well that she was a little uneasy.

Jean chuckled. “Just take it!”

Jean touched Gemma’s forehead, and Gemma left in a daze.

Bella felt like her heart was bleeding. It was so hard for her to earn the money. She wanted to use the money to buy better clothes, skin care products, and cosmetics. She had suffered for many years. She wanted to dress up like an ordinary girl and be worthy of Anthony.

Sarah asked, “Bella, is this money really given to you by someone else?”

Bella lowered her head. “Yes, it was given by a rich woman.”

There was joy in Sarah’s eyes. That’s great. It would be great if Bella could meet that woman again.

She happily went to do the home chores.

Bella felt sad and sat down feebly, but suddenly, the stool flipped over. She fell to the ground, and the pain brought tears to her eyes.

Sarah hurried over to help Bella but accidentally spilled the bowl of chicken soup on Bella’s head.

Alex frowned. While blaming Sarah for being careless, he accidentally stepped on the clothes pole, which slapped Bella’s face.

Bella’s face instantly swelled up.
