Chapter 4: Try to threaten me again?

Sophia's words were like ignited gunpowder, instantly detonating her inner anger, "Bella, don't be so shameless!" She was offended by the old lady and was already holding back anger in her heart, and Bella's ignorance of the current situation made her image as a lady collapse instantly.

"I brought you here and arranged the best hospital for your grandma, not to let you cause trouble for me. I warn you, go change your clothes for me immediately, otherwise, I will stop your grandma's medicine immediately!" Sophia's tone was full of threats.

Bella turned her head suddenly, her eyes seemed to be bloodshot, and the light flashing in her pupils was extremely terrifying. She slowly stood up, with a hint of chill hidden under her cold face, "Don't threaten me with my grandma again!"

Sophia was frightened by her gaze and staggered, almost falling. How could this look be so scary?

"What happened?" Just then, the door of the private room was pushed open and a man about fifty years old walked in.

He is Eleanor 's second son, Ethan , and Sophia 's second husband. Although Ethan is already fifty years old, he has been well maintained and there is no trace of time on his face. His eyes always reveal their sharpness inadvertently. He just came back from a business trip and hurried here.

Vivian has long disliked Bella , and told Ethan what happened in a few words . Ethan walked up to Bella , patted her shoulder gently, then turned to Eleanor and said, "She has never lived in our house, so she doesn't understand the rules of the upper class. It is impossible for her to learn all the etiquette at once. I will teach her slowly in the future."

Eleanor had a cold face and a tone as cold as ice: "What are you talking about? Today is her and Charles ' engagement party. If she dresses like this, where will our Davis family put her face?"

" How can a man like Wilson Smith care about these small details?" Ethan glanced at the time and said lightly, " Wilson Smith is coming soon, sit down quickly, don't let him come and leave us standing in a mess, that would be embarrassing."

"Yes, grandma, my sister just came to Licheng and doesn't understand some things yet. You shouldn't force her. After all, she is doing this for me..." Cindy, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. She stepped forward, took Eleanor's arm, and said with a gentle smile.

"I will help my sister adapt to life at home. Just for my sake, don't bother with her." Cindy 's words were like a spring breeze, which made Eleanor 's face much more relaxed. She thought for a moment, and finally didn't bother about it. "Forget it, sit down."

After the Davis family members took their seats, Bella looked up at Cindy , her eyes deep and meaningful.

Not long after, the door of the private room was pushed open again and two men came in.

One of them was wearing a silver mask. Under the light of the hotel, his slender figure slowly walked in. His eyes under the mask were as deep as ink, and he exuded the aura of a king. He wrapped himself tightly, wearing a high-necked shirt and a long windbreaker on the outside. It was so airtight that even his neck could not be seen.

The other was tall and thin, with a head of brown hair covering half of his eyelids. His eyes were as bright as a beam of light in the dark night sky.

" Sorry, I kept you waiting." The man in the silver mask glanced at the Davis family and finally landed on Bella , who was leaning on the chair and had never glanced at him since she entered the door . But soon, he withdrew his gaze.

"We just arrived, too. Charles, please take a seat." As soon as the masked man spoke, the Davis family members stood up one after another. Eleanor's tone was both reserved and respectful. Although they had never seen the true face of Master Charles , it was rumored that Charles had disfigured his face. They knew without guessing that the man wearing the mask was Master Charles ——Charles .

" We are a family from now on. You are welcome. Please take a seat." Although Charles was wearing a mask and his face could not be seen, the Davis family still felt great pressure when talking to him. Even Eleanor, who had experienced the world, did not dare to look directly into Charles ' eyes. She always felt that those eyes were like a wolf lurking in the middle of the night, and could tear her apart with just one look.

The Davis family sat stiffly, with fawning smiles on their faces, except Bella.

"Hello, I'm Karen." Another man came in and said his name, then said no more. The Davis family's face changed slightly. Karen is the young master of the Jones family in Beijing . Unexpectedly, he also came to the engagement party. It is said that Karen and Charles have a good relationship. It seems that the rumors are not groundless.

After introducing himself, Charles just hummed lightly. The Davis family was afraid of his powerful aura, and no one dared to speak first. Sophia tugged at Bella 's clothes, indicating that she should take the initiative to talk to Charles , but Bella didn't even look at her.

"Charles, when will your parents come?" Eleanor couldn't help but ask after a long while since no one came into the private room.

Charles raised his eyebrows slightly, and his voice was as dull as water: "They have something to deal with and can't come. It doesn't matter, just go through the engagement process." His eyes swept across everyone's faces and finally landed on Cindy . He put one arm on the table and leaned slightly, "This is Miss Cindy, right?"

Cindy's whole body tensed up, and when she met Charles's inquiring eyes, she lowered her head in panic. Originally, Wilson Smith designated her as the person to be engaged, but she didn't want to marry Charles , so the Davis family took Bella over and married her off.

Sophia thought Charles didn't know they had changed partners yet, and was worried that he would fall in love with Cindy and would marry her, so she explained anxiously, "Charles, this is what happened. We considered that Cindy is not yet eighteen years old, so it would be difficult for her to get engaged to you, so we decided to let my eldest daughter Bella marry you."

"Oh?" Charles' voice rose slightly, and he said only one word, and then stopped talking. His dark eyes moved under the mask, and his gaze fell on Eleanor , just looking at her, as if waiting for an explanation.

Eleanor 's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, although Bella has no blood relationship with the Davis family , she is our Ethan 's stepdaughter, and can be considered a child of the Davis family ."

Karen, who had been sitting on the side without saying anything, suddenly laughed, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice: "Really? How can a stepdaughter compare to the daughter of the Davis family? I say, you, don't you know that Charles's appearance is ruined and he only has two years left to live, so you just randomly stuff someone in here?" Karen stopped laughing abruptly, her expression turned cold, "You are so brave, you dare to tease us?"
