Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Keep Your Money, I Find It Dirty
Bella Woods’ words made Maria Sutton’s eyes widen in disbelief.
All these years, even though her rise to power wasn’t honorable, no one dared to speak to her this bluntly because Old Master Marshall was around.
In Maria Sutton’s view, Bella Woods, such a small figure, dared to bring these things to the table and with a full attitude of mockery.
This imdiately made Maria Sutton furious beyond comprehension!
She raised her hand to slap Bella Woods, but Bella grabbed her wrist.
“Do you know what you’re doing, what you’re saying?” Maria Sutton, since her rise to power, had never been humiliated like this, and she warned on the spot, “Do you believe that because of your words today, I can make you disappear from Peace City!”
“Behind stands Cyan Marshall, as they say, you should know whose dog you’re beating. If you dare to touch , Cyan Marshall will dare to deal with you and your son!” Bella Woods was not afraid in the slightest.
She wasn’t unafraid of offending Maria Sutton because Cyan Marshall had her back, but because she had seen a lot while staying beside Cyan Marshall for so many years.
She knew that the Marshall Family was divided into two factions: one supporting Ashton Marshall and Cyan Marshall, and the other supporting Old Master Marshall in maintaining Maria Sutton and Ethan Marshall.
The reason everything had been peaceful these years was because Ashton Marshall temporarily held the dominant power, and they were also looking for an opportunity to deal with Maria Sutton and Ethan Marshall, and to sideline Old Master Marshall.
They just needed a legitimate reason, and Maria Sutton was careful in her actions, rarely leaving sothing for others to criticize.
As long as Maria Sutton dared to do sothing to her today, Cyan Marshall and Ashton Marshall would take action; it was just a reason, so Bella Woods didn’t need to have any concerns.
She originally didn’t want to say so much to Maria Sutton, thinking that it’s better to explain clearly for the sake of avoiding more trouble. However, Maria Sutton’s words made her very unhappy.
Since breaking up with Oliver Hughes, Bella Woods began to let loose, doing everything pretty wildly, with the main goal of not allowing herself to be wronged or consider herself sothing undesirable.
“Mrs. Sutton, you hold yourself high thinking I’m not worthy of Ethan Marshall, but have you thought about it, I didn’t even want Oliver Hughes, why would I have anything to do with Ethan Marshall?”
“You look down on my son?” Maria Sutton’s face turned black with anger on the spot.
“Compared to a title that isn’t legitimate, at least Oliver Hughes is the clear inheritor of the Hughes Family. Marrying Oliver Hughes, becoming the future Mrs. Hughes, besides, my uncle is still the head of the Marshall Family. With such a status, why should I settle for soone without real power?”
Bella Woods’ words were quite venomous.
But she was just using the tone Maria Sutton used to speak to her back against Maria Sutton.
Bella Woods fundantally didn’t want to say too much because she didn’t have any real grievance with Ethan Marshall, and saying these words was quite hurtful; however, Bella felt so anger about the video incident.
She thought Ethan Marshall should sowhat know about her relationship with Ashton, and actually asking the Little Fox to help was just a calculated move.
“You, you, you…” Maria Sutton didn’t expect that after so many years, such a young girl dared to say such words to her!
She had always been the one to look down on others.
Today, surprisingly, soone looked down on her, looked down upon her son, which was absolutely intolerable.
“You will pay the price for what you said today!” Maria Sutton harshly warned.
“Fine, you should do sothing to . Cripple or whatever, because as soon as sothing happens to , Cyan Marshall and Ashton Marshall will definitely co at you and Ethan Marshall.” Bella Woods did not retreat.
And these words choked Maria Sutton!
Old Master Marshall’s only requirent of her was not to touch the people around Cyan Marshall or Ashton Marshall, not to give them a reason to strike.
Before Old Master Marshall was certain about knocking Ashton Marshall off his position to let Ethan Marshall take over, she couldn’t give him a reason to act.
Maria Sutton always thought it was no big deal, including summoning Bella Woods, thinking she was just soone of low status who would retreat after being warned off, who knew she would be so tough.
Completely different from the rumors of being Oliver Hughes’ follower for a few years.
And Bella Woods knew Maria Sutton wouldn’t touch her, so she spoke up, “Since there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. Mrs. Sutton, rest assured, now, later, and in the future, I’ll have nothing to do with Ethan Marshall.”
After saying this, Bella Woods turned and walked out.
Simultaneously, soone pushed open the private room door and walked in.
When Bella Woods saw the incoming person, she was taken aback for a mont.
The person was about four or five years younger than Bella Woods, appeared pure, wearing a white dress, like a sacred white moonlight, pure and clean.
But her eyebrows made Bella Woods feel a bit familiar.
Though Bella was curious, she just glanced a few more tis, then passed by her shoulder and left.
Bella had just reached the elevator lobby when suddenly soone called out from behind, “Please wait a mont.”
Before Bella could turn around, the elevator door in front opened, and Calvin Marshall hurriedly rushed out, only to brake halfway and turn sharply to look at Bella Woods.
She looked Bella up and down, “Are you okay? Mrs. Sutton didn’t do anything to you?”
Bella Woods shook her head, “Nothing, we just talked for a bit.”
“I saw a ssage on my computer and realized soone used my phone to send you a ssage, only to delete the chat record afterward.”
But the computer syncs, and Calvin originally planned to turn on the computer to play gas. Seeing the ssage, he imdiately felt sothing was wrong and rushed over.
Afraid sothing bad would happen to Bella, she wouldn’t know how to face Third Young Master.
“Are you sure she didn’t trouble you or do anything else?” Calvin couldn’t help but confirm.
“Just…” Bella was about to ntion the five hundred thousand, but rembering the person who called her earlier, she looked back in that direction.
And that woman only glanced back and then left.
Calvin waited for Bella Woods’ answer, but when there was no follow-up, she followed Bella’s gaze, only seeing a woman’s back, nothing more.
Calvin felt uneasy, “Did Mrs. Sutton threaten you with sothing?”
“No, she misunderstood my relationship with Ethan Marshall, offered five hundred thousand to leave him.” Bella drew back her thoughts, briefly telling Calvin what had happened.
“Huh?” Calvin was surprised.
“And then I retorted, saying I didn’t care for her money, it wasn’t clean.”
“Ah?” Calvin’s jaw dropped.
“I just stated that I had nothing to do with Ethan Marshall, and she let go.”
After explaining this, Bella grabbed Calvin’s arm and entered the elevator.
She felt this place wasn’t a good place to stay, so she wanted to take Calvin away first.
“Little Bella.” Calvin ca to his senses, “You should be the first in years to speak to her like that.”
After speaking, Calvin couldn’t help but look at Bella Woods twice, “And also, up until now, I’ve realized sothing.”
“What is it?”
