Chapter 6

The delicate ornaments on the round fan were deformed by the fall.

Her feelings were destroyed in an instant and tears welled up in Beatrice’s eyes.

She didn’t want this dress.

There was only 20,000 dollars in her bank card. If she bought a gift for Viola, she would not have enough money to pay the down payment for the house. Even if she was determined to buy a gift for Viola, she would not have enough money.

Just as Beatrice was hesitating while holding the bank card in her pocket, Viola suddenly spoke.

“Harold, Beatrice is not like me. Her family does not have such strong financial resources. Please do not embarrass her for my sake. I heard there’s a charity auction tonight. As compensation, can you accompany me there? Okay?”

The atmosphere was deadlocked for a long time.

After a while, Harold suddenly laughed and put his arms around her waist affectionately.

“You’re right. She has lived in the Dolton Family for so many years as the eldest daughter of the Dolton Family. I’ve gotten used to it and forgotten that she is a poor girl at heart and has no money. Forget it. I don’t count on her. I’ll go to the charity event with you. Today is your birthday. I’ll take pictures of anything you like.”

Harold forgot that today was also Beatrice’s birthday.

Even though she was ready to leave and give up everything, when Beatrice heard Harold’s sarcastic humiliation, she felt indescribably depressed.

She just stood there straight, tightly holding the bank card in her bag, with an embarrassed look on her face.

She didn’t know if it was psychological factors, but she felt like she had acid reflux in her stomach.

Beatrice’s expression was extremely unnatural and she just wanted to leave as quickly as possible.

“Brother, sister-in-law, I won’t bother you anymore.”

But how could Viola let Beatrice go? She held Beatrice’s hand tightly and refused to let go.

“Beatrice, do you not like me being your sister-in-law? That’s why you don’t like the gifts I give you and you don’t like appearing in the same place with me?”

What a big nonsense.

Just as Beatrice was about to retort, Harold pulled Viola away with a sullen face, leaving her with something to say.

“Put aside your dirty thoughts. Before you speak, consider whether you are worthy of it. Come here quickly!”

Harold held Viola’s hand and they looked like a perfect couple.

Beatrice followed the two people dejectedly.

The venue was a mixed crowd.

Beatrice was bumped twice along the way and almost fell down.

Among the items she had her eye on, there was a jade bracelet that looked very familiar; it was her mother’s favorite piece of jewelry.

Beatrice was a little excited.

But unfortunately, she found that Viola also seemed interested in this jade bracelet.

Seeing Harold spending a fortune on Viola, Beatrice touched the whistle around her neck tightly, just wanting to give it a try.

As long as her previous promise still counted.

But when she blew the whistle and expressed her thoughts, she was met with perfunctory responses and neglect.

She was thrown to the ground in public.

“Do you always grab whatever Viola likes? Beatrice, don’t go too far, otherwise I can’t guarantee that you can come and go freely in the Dolton Family and see me again.”

Harold bought the jade bracelet for Viola at a high price of 2 million dollars.

He knelt on one knee, put the jade bracelet on her hand himself and confessed his love to her.

“The jade bracelet is yours and I am yours. Happy birthday, Viola.”

Viola, wearing the Haynes Family’s jade bracelet, spun excitedly a few times on the field and greeted Beatrice happily.

“I’m so happy, Beatrice. Can you use my phone to take a photo of Harold and me? I want to record this wonderful moment!”

Beatrice lowered her eyes and nodded, waiting for her to hand over the phone.
