1199 Words
If she remembered correctly, Miss Power's boyfriend was Zayne right? Why was she holding hands with Aurthur?
Because of Aurthur's relationship with Bevy, the Power family had some understanding of the Power's family.
Aunt Kendall had been working for the Power's family for many years and naturally knew what was going on.
Seeing Aunt Kendall surprise, Bevy was about to explain when a cold and indifferent voice spoke up first.
"Zayne is just an ex-boyfriend. I am Bevy's current boyfriend."
After speaking, Aurthur didn't care about Aunt Kendall expression and directly pulled Bevy into the Power's family villa.
Bevy: "..."
Aunt Kendall,I'm sorry! I'll explain to you later!
"Dad, I'm back." As soon as Bevy entered the house, she decisively let go of Aurthur hand.
She was eager to see her father.
In her previous life, she remembered that after she was framed by Betty and got involved with Aurthur,the Power's family's company began to decline rapidly. Not long after, her father was framed and imprisoned, and the Power's family went bankrupt. After being imprisoned, her father passed away not long after.
They all said that her father committed suicide out of fear, but she knew that he was poisoned, and the person who poisoned him was her good step sister, Betty.
She couldn't forget how Betty proudly held Zayne's hand and arrogantly walked into her hospital room, telling her everything, even that she was the one who framed her father!
Deep hatred gathered in Bevy eyes.
"Bevy, you're back. You're a girl and you've been out all night. Did anyone bully you? You..." A slightly weathered male voice came from upstairs, and a middle-aged man of medium build hurriedly came down, his tone full of concern.
Although Mr Power was already middle-aged, he still had the handsome and charming looks of his youth, coupled with a mature and stable demeanour that young men lacked. It had to be said that her father still had a lot of charm.
Bevy's hatred dissipated the moment she saw her father , and she choked up before rushing towards him.
"Dad..."
Mr Power caught his daughter as she threw herself into his arms. Before he could say anything, a sharp and somewhat sarcastic female voice rang out.
"Bevy, you didn't come back all night. Where did you go? Do you know how worried your father was? You're already so old, can't you be a little less troublesome? And as soon as you come back, you jump into your father's arms without any manners."
As the voice fell, a woman wearing a high-end dress walked down from the second floor.
The woman looked to be in her early thirties, with delicate makeup on her face and her hands folded in front of her. She appeared exceptionally dignified and polite, but the words that came out of her mouth were completely at odds with her appearance.Looking up from her father's embrace, Bevy's gaze fell on the woman, and a moment later, a coldness covered her eyes.
This woman was her stepmother, Mona, and also her mother's distant cousin.
When her mother died in a car accident, she and Betty came to the Power's Family the next day with the so-called heirs of her mother's estate. The will stated that her father was to take care of their lives, and then the mother and daughter moved into the Power's family. Later, Chris- Mr Power had a drunken one-night stand with Mona,and he had to take responsibility for her by marrying her, making her Bevy's stepmother, while Betty became her stepsister.
In her past life,Mona had always considered Bevy in everything she did, spoke up for her everywhere, and indulged her in everything. She didn't even treat her own daughter well, which made Bevy always think that Mona and Betty were the only ones who were truly good to her in the world.
If it weren't for Bevy revealing the truth later, she really wouldn't have known how foolish she was to have been played by this mother and daughter for so many years...
Moreover, even her arrogant and domineering personality was the result of Bevy and her daughter's deliberate indulgence. If she hadn't been led astray by them, she wouldn't have done something as reckless as drugging someone like Aurthur, who had no connection to her.
Listening to Mona's words now, all she did was blame her, and she hadn't even said anything yet, but she had already been labelled as unfilial. How foolish was she in the past to think that this woman was the only one who was good to her in the world?
At the thought of this, a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Bevy's lips as he looked at Mona and smirked, "Aunt Mona, I didn't come back all night, shouldn't you be more concerned about whether I encountered any trouble? How come you blame me as soon as I come back? Dad hasn't even said anything to me yet!"
Mona's face changed slightly, and she couldn't help but wonder how this cunning girl could say such things after being out all night. She spoke like this all the time, and she never said anything. Why is it different today?
Could it be that she knew that Betty had switched the medicine last night?
No, if she knew she had been deceived, with her explosive temper, she would definitely not be so calm.
Perhaps, it was just that her words were too harsh just now, which made this girl feel uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Betty steadied her mind and smiled slightly, "Where did Bevy's words come from? Auntie cares about you the most. How could I blame you? Auntie is just worried about you, afraid that something might happen to you! After all, it's easy for rumours to spread when a girl is out all night, isn't it? Auntie is just thinking about you!"
"So, I should thank Aunt Mona." Bevy hooked her lips, revealing a gentle smile her eyes deep and cold.
This woman really knows how to talk. It seems that she cares about herself both overtly and covertly, but in fact, she secretly reveals to her father that she was fooling around with someone outside at night, causing her father's true concern for her to turninto disappointment.
This trick has been tried and tested over the past decade!
But today, she was going to disappoint her.
Before Chris's face turned dark, she smiled lightly and pulled Aurthur beside her, "I was with Aurthur all night yesterday. We went to many fun places. Aunt Mona, didn't I tell you about it a few days ago? How could you forget?"
"If I remember correctly, a few days ago, you told me that Aurthur was very lonely by himself and asked me to invite him out more and give him more love. These were all your words! Ijust did what you said. I didn't deliberately play outside and not come back."
Her big eyes blinked, revealing a hint of grievance and timidity, as if she was a good baby who was being maliciously suspected.
Only then did Mona see Aurthur standing beside her, and her face changed suddenly.
