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.

After tutoring, it was already dark.

After Beatrice repeatedly refused, Will insisted on sending her back, saying it was dangerous for a girl to go home alone after dark.

The villa was brightly lit and Beatrice saw two intertwining figures through the window.

The night wind was a little chilly and she couldn’t help sneezing. She was hesitating whether to go up.

Seeing her embarrassment, Will put his suit jacket on her and suggested taking a walk with her.

But before they had taken two steps, a wolfhound jumped out from the garden and started barking at them.

Beatrice screamed and fell to the ground, her legs trembling and her knees bruised.

She still vividly remembered the time when debt collectors released wolfhounds to bite her.

She swore that her biggest fear since childhood was dogs.

After she took a deep breath and finally calmed down, she couldn’t help falling into deep thought.

Harold had known and understood the situation for so many years, so he had always prohibited keeping dogs. But now, how could this pet that was strictly prohibited appear in the garden out of nowhere?

Beatrice couldn’t figure it out.

But the next second, she suddenly had the answer.

Viola rushed out of the villa and hugged the wolfhound.

“Sorry, sorry, Luna is usually very well behaved, but today she lost control because she met a stranger.”

Beatrice was still in shock and remained kneeling. Just as Will was about to help her, she was pushed aside by Harold.

“You are so reckless. It doesn’t matter what the matter is, it can scare you like this.”

Hearing this, Beatrice was a little dazed.

This real fear would sometimes wake her up from her dreams, but now it had become a no-brainer in Harold’s words.

Harold grabbed Beatrice and lifted her up, completely ignoring the bloodstains on her legs.

It was a normal cringe, but both men frowned at the same time.

Will was worried, but Harold thought she was being pretentious and there was a hint of displeasure in his expression.

He felt that Beatrice was extremely abnormal tonight. He glanced at the nervous man beside her and blurted out.

“Who is this man? I’ve never seen you like this before.”

It was just a simple sentence, but Beatrice was stunned on the spot after hearing it.

Of course, she understood what he meant, her face turned red and she retorted softly.

“Brother, I’m just here to be a tutor. Mr. Matthews and I are good friends, right?”

Will didn’t care about the conversation between the two people at all.

Looking at the blood stains on Beatrice’s legs, his brows frowned even more tightly. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket, bent down and blew on it while helping her treat the wound.

“Do you need my help? I can help you leave if necessary.”

Beatrice sniffed and a warm feeling flowed through her heart.

But she knew Harold’s personality. If she left now, not only would she have a hard time in the future, but it would also be very likely that Will would suffer.

So even though she knew that Harold’s words were meant to humiliate her, she naturally could not implicate Will at this time.

Beatrice gave him an apologetic smile. “I’m fine, thank you for the coat.”

Just as she put her hand on the suit jacket and was about to hand it back, she was held down by Will.

“Give it back to me next time.”

Beatrice did not insist any further, but just nodded and replied softly, “Okay.”

Harold might not have planned to let her go so easily tonight and after Will left, he sent Viola away.

He easily pulled off Beatrice’s suit jacket at the entrance of his house and punched the wall.

“The Dolton Family can’t afford to support you and can’t afford to buy you a coat, right? You’re going to wear someone else’s!”

“Beatrice, what is the third rule of the house? Recite it to me!”

Beatrice lowered her head and said in a good manner, “No dating during college.”

Harold’s face was filled with anger, but his low voice was still unhappy.

“What did you promise me at the beginning? What does it mean now? You made a mistake knowingly?”

He had never been so angry before and Beatrice was frightened and took a breath.

She carefully tugged at his collar, her face full of innocence.

“But, brother, I graduated a week ago.”

Harold was stunned at first, then his heart sank suddenly and he pressed Beatrice’s shoulders tightly.

“Okay, you always have an excuse. Then tell me, the Dolton Family has never lacked you for food and clothing, so why do you want to be a tutor to make money?”

He approached step by step and pressed.

“Are you hiding something from me? Are you short of money? Or are you in love with him?”

A strong sense of oppression came and Beatrice’s heart trembled and she lowered her head even more.

Harold was smart enough and she knew that nothing could be hidden from him.

But she didn’t expect that besides being smart, he could also see the essence of things.

Beatrice stood there and her whole body began to stiffen unnaturally.

She racked her brains to come up with a reason that she thought was reasonable and stammered back.

“I’m short of money. I don’t want to owe my sister-in-law a favor... I want to save money to buy her a return gift.”

As soon as the voice fell, her shoulder was pushed away and Harold suddenly relaxed, clapped his hands and laughed.

“Sister-in-law? You adapt quickly.”

Beatrice felt a little confused. Was Harold angry?

He covered his head with a snap and sneered.

“No need, I’ll arrange the gifts and you don’t need to work hard as a tutor anymore, lest others say that our Dolton Family treats you harshly.”

This made it clear that she was deliberately complaining about the Dolton Family, a bit like an ungrateful person.

Beatrice suddenly felt a little wronged and she was about to explain.

“Brother, I don’t mean that. Actually, I want to make money to…”

Before she finished speaking, she gasped in shock at the thunder outside.

A flash of lightning flashed, followed by a deafening roar.

“Ah, no, no!”

Beatrice screamed, her heart pounding like a drum and tears struggling to overflow from her eyes.

Harold frowned, picked her up, put her on the sofa and patted her back.

“I’m here.”

This was Beatrice’s biggest fear. Her father was captured on this stormy night and her mother became crazy at that time and even drugged her to take her to die with her.

Before, she cried and lost her voice countless times in the night of thunder and lightning because of fear.

Now, with Harold’s words, Beatrice’s heart suddenly calmed down.

But less than two minutes later, the harsh ringtone made her heart, which had just relaxed, rose again.

Sure enough, Viola’s anxious voice came from the other side, with bursts of crying.

“Harold, it’s dark at home and I always feel like there’s someone outside. I’m so scared. Can you come and accompany me?”

Feeling the man wavering, Beatrice suddenly exerted force, hugged him tightly and cried so hard that she almost screamed.

“Brother, can you please not leave?”

But Harold hesitated for a moment, pried her fingers apart and responded to her with only indifference.

“After so many years, you should grow up and learn to face it. There are nannies at home. If you are afraid, stay in the living room. They will accompany you.”
