Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Sister-in-law, or Brother-in-law?
However, wasn’t the plot just developing differently?
Victor Bennett pouted, looking immensely wronged, and glanced at Mason Bennett.
"Bro, I’m the one our dad actually gave birth to, right?"
Mason glanced at him indifferently, not answering such a dumb question.
"Grandma, am I still his real son or not?" Victor turned his gaze.
Mrs. Bennett, who was eating, lifted her head and was stunned for a moment: "Probably, I guess."
Victor: "..." Life is unbearable!!!
"Bro, I was only gone for a few months and I’ve fallen out of favor like this?"
Bella Green twitched the corners of her mouth, awkwardly rubbed her nose.
Mason, upon hearing this, glanced at him indifferently: "You were ever favored?"
Victor clutched his heart, looking heartbroken; indeed, he was the bonus on a phone recharge.
Mason withdrew his gaze, glanced at the little one at his side indifferently, suddenly somewhat troubled.
How should he introduce her to Victor in the future; sister-in-law, or... brother-in-law?
...
After dinner, Bella Green and Joanna Ramsey politely declined Mrs. Bennett’s invitation to stay.
In the yard, Bella Green had just gotten into the car when Joanna Ramsey tried to pull open the car door from the other side, but no matter how many times she pulled, she couldn’t open it.
Joanna was about to go over to Bella’s side to get in when she heard a man’s deep voice slowly rise from the driver’s seat: "You sit in Victor’s car."
After saying that, he started the car and drove out of the yard without waiting for Joanna to react.
Joanna was stunned, watching as the man drove away mercilessly, stomping her foot in anger.
Turning around, she saw Victor Bennett reluctantly coming out the door.
"Such a hassle. If I weren’t unwilling to let others touch my little baby, I wouldn’t be driving you at all," Victor muttered as he walked into the garage.
Thinking of what Mrs. Bennett had just said, Victor was puzzled; why were all the cars at home sent for service today?
Joanna listened to him, her face turned red with anger, looking fiercely adorable, glaring at Victor.
Seeing her furious expression, Victor instantly became cheerful and got into the car smugly.
...
The car was halfway along when Mason suddenly pulled over.
"Come to the front seat," the man said in a deep voice.
Bella was stunned, looked at the desolate road outside, and then at Mason.
"Why?"
The man raised his eyes and looked at her from the rearview mirror: "Do you think I look like a driver?"
Bella pursed her lips at his words, remained seated, indulging the man’s pretentiousness.
Mason didn’t say anything more, yet seemed keen on getting into a standoff with Bella, as he left the car there.
After a while, Bella suddenly gave the man a fierce glare through the rearview mirror, with a cold grunt, got out of the car, and sat in the passenger seat.
Only then did the man start the car again, heading into the city...
...
"Why are you still living in such godforsaken places?" Victor Bennett looked at the row of low buildings in front, frowned, and said.
Joanna Ramsey glared at him fiercely: "None of your business."
"Your dad isn’t quite rich? Why letting you live here?" Victor asked, puzzled, not annoyed.
Joanna looked at him, her eyes flickered slightly; just about to speak, Victor’s phone rang.
"I’ll take this call first." Victor said, taking out his phone, sliding the answer button.
"Phoebe?" The man opened in surprise.
The other end said something that made Victor’s face change instantly: "Wait for me, I’m coming right away."
Saying that, he hung up the phone hurriedly, turned the car around, and sped off.
Hearing the roar of the engine, Joanna was left inhaling exhaust, watched as the car that vanished swiftly into the night, looked blank.
She... hadn’t said goodbye yet.
