CHAPTER 426: CHAPTER 426 HE KILLS, I HIDE THE BODY

Arriving at the Green Family home, Bella Green went straight upstairs to change her clothes and then headed out.

Daniel Green, who hadn’t returned to his room yet, was surprised to see her.

"You’re going out again?"

"Yeah." Bella Green replied, then walked out briskly.

Daniel Green quickly grabbed his keys and chased after her.

"Where are you going? I’ll give you a ride." Daniel Green said hastily.

Bella Green glanced at him upon hearing that and declined outright.

"I called a car with my phone."

Then, she went straight out of the yard.

Daniel Green stood there, frowning as he watched the slender yet stubborn figure.

"Bella Green!" he suddenly shouted.

Bella Green instinctively stopped in her tracks but didn’t turn back.

"If one day you find out that the adoptive parents who raised you aren’t as good as you thought, maybe having done many wrong things that you can’t understand or accept, would you cut ties with them because of that?"

"Just because she seems unforgivable in your eyes, it makes my indecisiveness seem like weakness. But what if it weren’t her? If you replaced Anna with the person you’re closest to, if it’s Mason, and he did something to harm others, would you then sever all ties with him?"

Every word, laced with resentment and questioning.

Bella Green stayed silent for a long time. After a while, she turned back, looked at Daniel Green, and smiled.

"The analogy doesn’t hold."

Daniel Green looked at her disapprovingly. Although the relationship between siblings and that between boyfriend and girlfriend are different, the only person he could think of who was important to Bella Green was Mason.

"Why?"

Bella Green suddenly took a few steps forward, stood in front of him, and looked up with a sweet and innocent smile, but the words she spoke caused Daniel Green’s eyes to widen in disbelief.

"Because even if he killed someone, I’d be the one to hide the body."

The girl’s words lingered in the night sky, refusing to dissipate.

Only Daniel Green was left standing there, looking in shock at the direction where the girl had disappeared, unable to regain his senses.

He kills, I hide the body...

How could Bella Green say such things? Does she even realize how crazy those words are...

...

In the taxi, Bella Green looked at the pitch-black outside, her expression cold.

She understood that Daniel Green wasn’t wrong. However, everyone’s heart is biased; even from God’s perspective, it wouldn’t be completely fair.

If from the beginning, it had been her adoptive parents who had done something to harm Samuel Green and his wife, she wouldn’t have turned against her adoptive parents just because those were her biological parents.

In truth, her heart was also biased...

...

Arriving at Fragrant Forest Riverside, Bella Green quietly entered the house.

However, as soon as she closed the door, she was stunned, staring blankly at the man in the living room who was looking at her steadily.

He looked like he had been waiting for her for a long time.

Bella Green pursed her lips and walked over, giving a dry laugh.

"You’re done with work?"

She had clearly timed her return, so how did he still catch her?

"Come here," the man said in a deep voice.

Bella Green lowered her head, scampering over like a little wife.

As soon as she reached him, the man pulled her into his arms.

"Leaving me twice in one day. You’ve grown bolder, huh?"

The deep voice, tinged with danger, made Bella Green shrink her neck, looking scared, her lips pouting, her voice soft and coquettish.

"I was just...going out for a stroll..."

Mason Bennett curled his lips at her words, the coldness in his expression enough to freeze, making Bella Green shiver instinctively.
