"Oh really? The cut on my forehead prompted my dear sister to cut off all my long hair."
Anna Green's lips trembled, her fingers clenched tightly, as she met the probing gaze from Samuel Green, feeling a bit flustered.
"I-I thought you had other injuries on your head at the time."
Upon hearing this, Bella Green smirked, raking her short hair with a hand, and sarcastically remarked, "Sister must have thought, as did I, that you couldn't stand me keeping my hair for Vivian Thornecroft, and thus had it cut off."
That supposedly offhand tone made Anna Green's face change suddenly, a sharp look flashed in her eyes.
Bella Green and Vivian Thornecroft have been acquainted for five years, a thorn in her heart...
Back then, Vivian Thornecroft was not in good health and was sent by the Thornecroft Family to Hyattville City for recuperation, somehow coincidentally meeting Bella Green.
And Bella Green kept that extremely beautiful long hair for Vivian Thornecroft.
She knew Bella Green would bring this matter up, but she wasn't afraid.
She believed she understood Bella Green's impulsive and reckless nature very well.
Even if Bella complained upon returning, she could gradually persuade Samuel Green into thinking Bella Green was just being unreasonable and ungrateful.
But she never expected things to unfold this way today.
Bella Green's few words clearly stirred Samuel Green's guilt, and now mentioning it, no matter how convincingly she speaks, Samuel Green will not side with her.
All because of that ridiculous guilt. Because of guilt, he has been biased since Bella Green's return.
If she hadn't meticulously orchestrated Bella Green's mistakes and embarrassment, making the Green Family despise her.
Perhaps she would have long taken the position as the Green Family's eldest daughter.
She had enjoyed over ten years of love; her parents adored her, and her brother always put her first.
They were a happy family. Why should Bella Green come and take all of this away?
"Sister, you've misunderstood, I really didn't mean it that way. I've said before, if you like Vivian, I can yield him to you."
Though the situation took an unexpected turn, Anna Green was no novice. With every word she spoke, adopting a red-eyed, aggrieved look, she successfully shifted the attention.
Samuel Green, seeing Anna Green's tearful appearance, hesitated slightly, and remained silent.
However, Daniel Green, known for fervently protecting his sister, couldn't decipher the complexity here; he only recognized that Bella Green bullied Anna Green again.
"Why should you yield anything? Vivian was meant to be yours. Why yield him, when he doesn't like Bella Green." Daniel Green, full of anger, directed his fury straight at Bella Green.
"That's enough. It's just because sister has been the Green Family's eldest daughter for over ten years, you feel unbalanced. But is it her fault you went missing? Why pin all your resentment on her?"
Daniel Green grew more agitated as he spoke, a trace of triumph flashed in Anna Green's eyes, but she appeared somewhat embarrassed, stepping forward to restrain him.
"Daniel, don't be like this, Bella is your real sister."
That gentle and kind demeanor only highlighted Bela Green as more unruly and overbearing, as Daniel Green shook off her hand.
"Sis, don't interfere with this. Just because she got lost for a decade doesn't mean she can step on our entire family! What is she? She..."
"Slap..."
A loud slap interrupted the boy's enraged tirade.
The slap stunned Daniel Green and left everyone present bewildered, looking incredulously at the frail girl.
