CHAPTER 518: CHAPTER 518 DO NOT AGREE TO THIS MARRIAGE

Old Mrs. Bennett snorted coldly at the words, then took Bella Green’s hand and once again resumed her kind demeanor.

"Bella, tell Grandma, what’s going on here?" Old Mrs. Bennett inquired.

Bella Green knew that she was asking not out of doubt, but purely out of concern.

"The Green Family did indeed have a marriage contract with the Thornecroft Family, but the person in question has long been with the Green Family’s adopted daughter, so naturally, the contract didn’t fall on me."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Bennett understood, though she wasn’t privy to some of the Green Family’s entanglements.

But from what Bella Green said, she could more or less guess some of it.

"So Mrs. Green is planning to marry both daughters to the Thornecroft Family? What is this, trying to imitate Ehuang and Nuying? Now, that would be bigamy in today’s terms."

Old Mrs. Bennett snorted coldly. The words were a deliberate jab at Francesca Willis.

Upon hearing this, Francesca Willis’s face turned cold. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t figure out what was so good about Bella Green.

This old lady seemed to be entranced, believing Bella Green so easily?

In a family like the Bennett’s, shouldn’t they be extremely cautious?

"Madam, don’t listen to this girl’s nonsense. She’s just after the Bennett’s power."

Francesca Willis was anxious too and didn’t care about anything else at this moment; she just wanted to ruin Bella Green’s engagement.

Now she was dealing with Anna Green like this, and if Bella married Mason Bennett, how could they have a good life?

Before, she thought that they could leverage the Bennett’s power to elevate the Green Family further, but now she thought differently.

Depending on Bella Green? She might as well depend on Anna Green.

Most importantly, if what Anna Green said was true, then she didn’t need to curry favor with Bella Green at all...

She couldn’t let Bella Green overshadow Anna Green...

"In any case, our family will not agree to this marriage, Madam, please return."

"Who dares to disagree!!"

As soon as the words fell, a deep male voice filled with anger suddenly sounded.

Then they saw Samuel Gren stride into the room. Perhaps due to his eagerness to get back, a light sheen of sweat covered his forehead.

Francesca Willis was startled to see the sudden appearance of Samuel Gren, never expecting he would return at such a critical moment.

"You, why have you come back?"

"Hmph, if I didn’t come back, you’d turn this house upside down." Samuel Gren said angrily.

He initially heard from the servants at home that Bella Green had returned, so he hastily put down his work and came back.

For a long time, he had tried calling Bella Green to invite her home for a meal, but she always refused.

Finally, she had returned once, and naturally, he was happy. Also, fearing Francesca Willis would have a conflict with her, he returned.

Halfway back, he got another message saying Old Mrs. Bennett was coming, so he hurried even more.

But he never expected that as soon as he walked in, he’d hear Francesca Willis say such a thing, almost causing him to pass out from anger.

Without having time to get angry at Francesca Willis, he looked at Old Mrs. Bennett, whose face was unhappy, and quickly put on a smile.

"You must be Old Mrs. Bennett, I’m Bella’s father, Samuel Gren."

However, his attempt to make amends failed to bring a smile to Old Mrs. Bennett’s face, as her no longer clear yet still shrewd eyes scrutinized him up and down.

"Now that the head of the house is back, it’s just right for me, an old lady, to say a few words."
