“As long as our parents are here, our Beatrice will always be the little princess in our hands.”

At that time, she felt that she was the happiest person in the world.

But now, Beatrice looked at the price of the dress and found that it was 34,000 dollars, a number that she could not even hope for.

Seeing Beatrice staring at the dress stupidly, Viola blinked at Harold and spoke mysteriously.

“I know what gift to give Beatrice!”

She almost snatched it from Beatrice in one go.

“Beatrice, stay here. You like this skirt, don’t you?”

When Beatrice subconsciously looked at Harold, his eyes were dazed for a moment.

This dress was too expensive and did not suit her status.

More importantly, she didn’t want to owe Viola anymore and even less did she want to owe Harold.

“Sister-in-law, you misunderstood.”

Originally, she didn’t want any gift from Viola.

Everything was done in a forced manner. Beatrice hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the clothing stall outside the window and curled the corners of her mouth.

“I’m not used to the clothes in Clamore. I like the denim shirt. Sister-in-law, please give it to me.”

Clothes worth dozens of dollars were hanging outside, wrinkled.

There was a hint of surprise in Viola’s eyes and she looked at Harold helplessly for a moment.

“Harold, did I do something wrong? I really wanted to buy a gift for her. Did Beatrice think that I could only afford cheap goods? Otherwise, why did she humiliate me like this?”

Harold’s voice was unnaturally cold, but his expression softened somewhat.

He looked at Beatrice with a smile and whispered in her ear, “Just accept whatever I give you. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to wear it. Don’t get angry. It’s not your turn to say no to something given by my woman.”

Yes.

I had known that Harold was always so domineering.

Once before, he took a female star home to spend the night.

Beatrice was so angry that she poured milk on the dress worth hundreds of thousands of dollars given by the brand and also slapped the female star.

The next day, she received a lawyer’s letter from the agency.

But Harold tore it up directly and in order to calm the matter down, he gave away several million dollars.

The female star refused to accept.

What did he say at that time? Oh, “It’s not your turn to say no to what my Dolton Family does and what they give away.”

The boomerang from a few years ago turned in the air and finally pierced into Beatrice’s heart again.

Apart from a wry smile, she didn’t dare show any emotion.

Viola was a person who could read people’s expressions. She smiled and stretched out her hand, asking as a matter of course.

“Beatrice, I gave you a gift. Now, do you have to give me a gift in return? Otherwise, it would be very rude.”

After she finished speaking, Beatrice raised her eyes and looked at Harold.

There was only indifference in the man’s eyes and that look was clearly warning her not to embarrass herself.

Beatrice’s heart trembled and she carefully took out a round fan that she had sewn by herself from her backpack.

This was a wedding gift for them.

In order to make this round fan, she stayed up all night for several days and her hands were pricked by needles with several small and medium-sized holes.

Viola was stunned at first, then she pursed her lips, looking aggrieved.

“Harold, look at her. She’s trying to fool me with this little thing. It’s only worth a few hundred bucks at a street stall.”

Just as she was about to take it, Harold got there first and knocked her to the ground.

He looked at Beatrice with a half-smile, with undisguised mockery and sarcasm in his eyes.

“How can you afford such a shabby gift? Viola gave you clothes worth 34,000 dollars. Even if you are rude, you don’t have to give me this rubbish, right? You have eaten up the Dolton Family’s education! How could you be this?!”

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.

But Viola pretended to touch her clothes for a long time and found that she didn’t bring her cell phone today.

She had to pretend to be helpless and gave orders with hidden meanings.

“Just use your phone, Beatrice, please! Witness our happiness and you will find someone who will make you happy in the future!”

Beatrice nodded woodenly and the moment she pressed the record button, Viola suddenly kissed Harold passionately.

Her hands trembled and when she looked up, she found that Harold had deepened the kiss without her knowing when.

Suddenly, she seemed to understand Viola’s intention.

Beatrice raised the corners of her mouth slightly, hiding the cold sarcasm in her eyes.

This time, there was no big fight.

She figured it out.

She just silently raised her phone, took a photo and set it as wallpaper.

She wanted to give up forever.

Harold didn’t remember when Beatrice left.

He only remembered her suppressed and desperate blessing before she left.

The sound lingered in his ears for a long time.

“Brother and sister-in-law, I wish you happiness forever.”

After that night, Harold sent someone to send a black diamond card to Beatrice, ordering her to spend 136,000 dollars every day.

“As the eldest daughter of the Dolton Family, don’t always live like a servant and embarrass me when I go out.”

Beatrice knew that Harold felt that he had lost his face in front of Viola.

She silently put the black diamond card at the bottom of the drawer.

Because it was Harold’s money, she would not touch a penny.

Soon, Harold took Viola back to the old house for dinner.

Beatrice also found out that Viola was the daughter of Edgar, a veteran shareholder of Dolton Group.

The two of them were indeed a good match.

Beatrice didn’t know how it could be such a coincidence.

While interning at Dolton Group, she always encountered two people being ambiguous in the office in the corridor.

Viola’s circle of friends was also updated in real time, filled with happiness.

[Someone picked me up personally in the morning. I received a loving lunch from my fiancé at noon and we had a candlelight dinner together at a high-end restaurant in the evening.]

In the middle of the night, Viola would accidentally call Beatrice to declare her sovereignty and let her listen to their sweet talk all night.

But when the phone call came, Viola said nothing.

Only when the man’s voice became hoarse would she hang up the phone with satisfaction.

Speaking of which, Beatrice didn’t care about her provocations.

She only hoped that Viola could help her delay Harold for a little longer, so that she would be free to go to Akso to sign the house purchase contract after some time.

She had been very busy these days, busy with interviews, busy looking for a job, busy dealing with the things Harold gave her over the years and busy repaying Dolton Group kindness.

Beatrice did a simple calculation and found that Harold had paid up to 682,000 dollars for her mother’s nursing home expenses over the years.

Over the years, she studied very hard and lived frugally and she was able to scrape together the 4.682,000 dollars.

As long as next month’s salary was paid, she could clear all debts and leave completely.

But things were unpredictable, because her existence made Viola feel resentful.

Every day she stayed in the Dolton Family was torture for her.

Beatrice needed this money really.

She was the top student in her department when she was in college and even her teachers said she was a rare genius in the mathematics department.

Later, she worked alone to conquer Dolton Group’s product model and wrote the cracking code, which not only earned her a generous bonus but also made her famous.

So when Will approached her and offered 40,000 dollars to tutor his younger brother, Beatrice was not surprised at all, but rather felt pleasantly surprised.

She really needed this part-time job.
