Chapter 22: I Heard You Have a Twin Sister
The man’s words made me blanch.
I suspected before that this man knew Bella Hill, but how did he know today that I wasn’t Bella Hill?
I frowned and said in a cold voice, “I can’t understand what you’re saying, so please move over.”
The man laughed, not meaning to get out of my way, but instead pressed closer to me, the smile in his eyes always making people feel unsuspecting.
“You don’t have to be afraid of me, that being said, we’re in the same category, not only will I not tear you down, but I’ll also help you secure the position of Ms. Richter, any interest in making this deal?”
The man in front of me seemed to know everything about me, and the feeling of being completely seen through while I knew nothing about the other person was very bad and off-putting.
With that one sentence, I can’t tell if he’s friend or foe.
But obviously, this is a man I can’t offend.
I pulled away from him at a distance, sizing him up carefully, and hooked my lips faintly, “A deal? That would require me to see your sincerity.”
“Is it not sincere that I did not go to Walker Richter and tell him who you are?” The man was very cunning, and smiled, “I wish more than anyone else that you had taken the position of Ms. Richter.”
“Oh?” I asked tentatively, “You have a problem with Bella Hill? Or maybe you like her?”
The last sentence is nothing more than my random guess, I didn’t expect the man’s pupils to suddenly shrink, judging from his reaction, my guess was really right.
I was able to get a little bit of a feel for the other side.
Associated with what this man said last time, I suddenly had a bold guess: “If I’m not mistaken, Bella Hill is in your hands, isn’t it?”
Sure enough.
The man’s face changed when he heard this.
After a brief moment, an appreciative smile played at the corner of his mouth, “You’re smart, and I like dealing with smart people.”
I smiled back, “You’re also honest enough to show me that you’re truly sincere.”
I’m quite surprised that this man is so bold as to directly hide Walker Richter’s wife. He’s not afraid that something will really go wrong when the time comes, or if Bella Hill escapes and things fall apart, Walker Richter will come after him?
“Looks like the deal is a go.” The man handed me a business card, “If you need any help, feel free to call the number above.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
I took the card and scanned it.
Randy Pan.
Turns out he’s the crown prince of the Pan Group.
Bella Hill is a real charmer, attracting so many men to her.
But Randy Pan is no slouch when it comes to imprisoning people.
That said, these two are a good match.
I flicked at the photo and reminded him, “Keep an eye on your Bella Hill, I got a call from her just now.”
“Don’t worry about that.” Randy Pan smiled a slightly creepy smile, looked away, and said softly, “There won’t be a Bella Hill in the world.”
The words made my heart skip a beat.
Randy Pan wouldn’t be so in love that he’d go psycho and kill someone, would he?
I was about to open my mouth to ask Randy Pan about the whereabouts of my child when suddenly there were footsteps coming this way, and Randy Pan went towards the banquet hall as if nothing had happened.
The person who came over was none other than Helen Lancelot.
She rubbed shoulders with Randy Pan.
After Randy Pan walked away, she reminded me, “Bella, is Randy Pan harassing you again, you stay away from that guy from now on.”
Helen Lancelot is really looking out for Bella Hill and isn’t exactly a drinking buddy, or she wouldn’t have warned.
“I know.” I didn’t move to put the business card away.
We went to the restroom together, touched up our makeup, and reentered the banquet hall, but instead of seeing Walker Richter’s people, we ran into Nancy Richter.
She was wearing a long beige dress and delicate makeup, giving her more of a mature woman’s charm than usual.
Nancy Richter saw me, smiled and said something to her friend beside her and came my way.
“Second sister-in-law, you look quite pretty today.” Nancy Richter smiled brightly, “I didn’t believe it just now when I heard that Second Brother had brought you here, but I didn’t realize it was true, you were looking for Second Brother just now, weren’t you, I saw him go out with Pheobe Wilson.”
After a few contacts with Nancy Richter, I can feel that Nancy Richter does not treat Bella Hill well, but not to the point of generating hostility, but more of a kind of dislike, trying to find things to add to the problem.
“No wonder.” With a couldn’t-care-less look on my face, I casually asked, “That man you were just with was quite handsome, your suitor?”
When Nancy Richter returned home, many men rushed to curry favor with her as the Richter family’s daughter.
“Instead of caring what Ergo is doing with Pheobe Wilson, you care about me.” Nancy Richter looked surprised, “You’ve really turned the corner?”
“Your second brother blatantly brought me to the party, everyone knows I’m Ms. Richter, your second brother isn’t someone who doesn’t know how to behave, so what do I have to worry about.”
Nancy Richter rolled her beautiful eyes, propped her hand on her chin, and cocked her head at me, “Second Sister-in-law, I’ve really noticed that you’ve gotten smarter.”
Just how stupid did the former Bella Hill give Nancy Richter to be able to say that.
I smiled, “A lot of things in this world can’t be forced.”
“That’s not necessarily true, at first I don’t know how many women wanted to climb my second brother’s bed, but in the end, you got your way, with the body of pregnancy, coupled with the gift of saving my grandmother’s life, successfully marrying into THE Richter family, if you don’t fight or snatch, without a little bit of tactics, I’m afraid that I will have to change my mouth to call someone else my second sister-in-law, right.” Though Nancy Richter smiled, her eyes carried the light of looking down on me.
With the Hill family’s status as a thousand-year-old, it’s a real reach for the Richter family, and Bella Hill’s reasons for marrying into the Richter family aren’t glamorous, so it’s no wonder Nancy Richter looks the other way.
In the face of Nancy Richter’s squeeze, all I could do was smile and not say anything and pretend I didn’t hear it.
Nancy Richter wasn’t angry, instead she was interested and asked me curiously, “By the way second sister-in-law, I heard you have a twin sister, is this true? How come I haven’t heard you mention it before.”
At that, I giggled and looked up, wondering what Nancy Richter intended.
When I returned to the Hill family, not many people know that the Hill family also has a daughter, and with the status of the Richter family, much less to care about the Hill family, a year ago, Bella Hill lied that I fell off a cliff and died, the Hill family even the funeral was organized very low-key, just choose a tombstone for burial, even the funeral hall did not set up. The Hill family people even held a very low-key funeral, just chose a tombstone to be buried, and even did not set up a hearse.
I subconsciously squeezed my goblet tighter, “There’s nothing to mention, the man is dead.”
“Died?” Nancy Richter pressed, “Died how?”
I looked at Nancy Richter with calm eyes, “You’re concerned?”
Nancy Richter laughed, “Just asking, after all, that’s your mother’s family.”
I don’t believe Nancy Richter really cares about the Hill family people.
“Dropped dead.” I was concise and told the truth.
“What fall?”
Pheobe Wilson’s voice emerged from behind him, “Nancy, Ms. Richter, what are you talking about, who fell to their deaths?”
Walker Richter is standing right next to Pheobe Wilson, also interested in this topic, waiting for the following.
Nancy Richter took Pheobe Wilson’s arm very warmly, and I don’t know if the two are really close or if they are doing it on purpose for me, “Sister Pheobe, Ergo, we were just talking about Second Sister-in-Law’s …”
