Chapter 7 You Don't Have to Marry
The Davis family was so angry at Bella's calm expression that they almost vomited blood. Did she know what treasure she was holding? Even if she didn't know, she should have heard their loud voices just now, right? Why was she still so calm?
From the moment Bella received the gift box, Charles had been carefully observing her expression, but she didn't react at all. Was it because she didn't know how valuable the necklace was, or was it because she didn't care about anything no matter how valuable it was?
Thinking of this, a barely visible smile appeared on the corners of Charles' cold lips. It was really interesting.
"According to the rules, you have to return the gift." Charles looked down at Bella , "If you don't have anything prepared, you don't have to force yourself."
" Is that so?" Bella stroked her chin with her white fingers and thought seriously. It seemed that she really had nothing to give as a gift. After thinking for a long time, Bella took out a small ceramic bottle from her pocket and poured out a brown pill-sized thing from it, "Then I'll give this to you."
This action seemed quite stingy, after all, he only gave one pill. Charles stared at the unknown pill, and the corners of his cold lips couldn't help but twitch twice. It's really...
Seeing that he didn't answer, Bella raised her eyebrows and asked, "Don't like it?"
Charles coughed lightly and took the item from her hand. "It's pretty good."
"Of course the things I give you won't be bad." Bella put her hands in her pockets, "Don't underestimate it because it's small. It's very valuable."
Bella thought about it and said seriously, "It's more valuable than your necklace."
The Davis family was stunned when they saw Bella actually gave Charles an unknown object as a return gift. They stood there for a long time without reacting. Even Ethan, who had always been tolerant of Bella, felt a little confused at this moment.
This Bella...
She didn't prepare a gift for Charles, but the Davis family could prepare one! But what was that thing in her hand? She actually gave it to Charles as a gift. Did she know what she was doing?
"Bella!" Sophia came back to her senses from the shock and couldn't help but roared, "How long are you going to embarrass me? This is a gift for Charles, how can you take this..."
What the hell is this?
Sophia felt like she was being driven crazy by Bella , and she was speechless for a moment. Vivian hated Bella to begin with , and couldn't help but sneer, "I've never seen this before..."
Before Vivian could even utter the word "worldly", she saw Charles's cold face and stopped talking at the right time. The words on her lips took a dramatic turn, "Do you know how much this necklace costs?"
Bella glanced at her calmly, "Didn't you just say 2 billion?"
" Since you knew it was 2 billion, why did you still give Charles this? Is this thing worth 2 billion? Bella, it's not that our Davis family can't afford a gift, but you can't embarrass Charles with such a shabby thing, right?" Vivian thought gloatingly, it would be better to offend Charles and not marry Bella. Let's see what else she can do to the Davis family!
Eleanor was also very angry, but she suppressed her anger in the end, bowed and apologized to Charles : "I'm sorry, Charles , this child just came from the country and doesn't know the rules very well. We Davis family will prepare a gift for the meeting."
This matter was her negligence. She originally thought that Charles would not care about this form of marriage and would not give a gift for the meeting, so she did not ask anyone to prepare it. It was really embarrassing now.
Bella didn't care about what the Davis family said. She looked at Charles nonchalantly and said, "You can give it back to me if you don't want it."
"Why not?" Charles' interest in Bella grew stronger and stronger, and his eyes and eyebrows were smiling as he spoke, "What is this?"
" Something that can save lives." Bella raised her eyelids slightly, her eyes fixed on Charles . Charles ' slender fingers stiffened slightly, his eyes met Bella's , and his eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly. What a sharp look!
She seemed to be staring at him nonchalantly, but in fact her eyes were very aggressive. Although he was wearing a mask, it seemed that one could still see through the mask and see his face. After the two looked at each other for a long time, Charles looked away and smiled: "It is indeed more valuable than my necklace."
The Davis family members all widened their eyes when they heard this. What's wrong with Charles? That thing is obviously cheap, how can he say it is more valuable than the Crystal Love? Charles put the thing in his pocket and looked down at Bella: "Are you going? I'll take you there!"
His voice was gentle like a spring breeze. Bella didn't treat herself as an outsider at all and turned away rudely. The Davis family was left in a mess and angry.
" Does grandma really want Bella to marry Charles ? She is so arrogant before she gets married. If she really gets married, won't she ride on our heads?" Vivian gritted her teeth and spoke. She was almost mad at Bella just now, but she didn't dare to do anything to her because Charles was around.
Eleanor 's face was not looking good either. She looked at Cindy with cold eyes: " Cindy, do you really want to marry Charles ?"
Cindy pursed her lips and the jealousy in her eyes almost burst out, but she suppressed her jealousy in front of Eleanor . She nodded and said softly: "Yes, grandma. After all, my sister was not raised in our family and has no feelings for us. Now she relies on Charles 's status to bully you like this. I can't stand it. I am also a child of the Davis family and I should do something for the Davis family ."
"Okay." Eleanor smiled with satisfaction, "I really did love you for what you did. Let's go home first and I'll figure out a way to deal with this."
in the Davis family said anything about the old lady's decision and followed her home. On the way to send Bella back, Charles let Karen and Alex go first. He drove the car himself and let Bella sit in the passenger seat.
Bella leaned back in the seat and kept looking down at her phone. The occasional passing light from the road added brilliance to Bella 's already cold face. When the car was halfway through the journey, Charles glanced at Bella and said calmly: "If you don't want to, I can cancel the engagement."
Bella had just opened a new game and raised her eyebrows at him. Charles's fingers were knuckles and white as he held the steering wheel. He stopped the car and tilted the car slightly, his lips slightly parted: "If you are forced, you can choose not to marry."
Bella put her hands on the window to support her head and said lazily, "I heard you are quite rich."
"Richer than most people." Charles opened the window and lit a cigarette.
" Quite powerful too." Bella 's voice was very light as if she was talking about something very ordinary.
"Ordinary people don't dare to mess with him." Charles took a puff of cigarette and blew out smoke rings. He tilted his head slightly and a light flashed across his deep eyes.
Bella nodded, lowering her brows: "I lack money and power."
Charles paused and then curled his lips: "Okay." He threw away the cigarette butt and restarted the car. He did not send Bella back to the Davis family but took her to dinner first. Charles and the Davis family did not eat at the dinner party in the evening. He guessed that the little girl must be hungry.
After dinner, Charles sent Bella back to Davis family. Bella asked Charles to drop her off at the door of Davis family. After waiting for Charles' car to leave, Bella squinted her eyes and turned to Licheng Central Hospital.
