Chapter 952
Feeling two intense gazes that couldn’t be ignored, Margaret raised her head and locked eyes with two somber pairs of eyes.Regarding Aaron’s gaze, although he was fearful, he had seen it often enough that he was almost numb to it.
But Mason’s eyes, even more intimidating and somber than his brother’s, made him instinctively swallow, feeling a chill down his neck...
Quickly, he diverted his gaze...
"Miss Green is really adorably naive," Joanne suddenly said.
The woman’s lips curled into a smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes.
The underlying danger in those words was quite apparent.
Bella behaved as if she hadn’t heard, showing no reaction whatsoever.
Joanne’s eyes flashed with cold mockery, ridiculing Bella’s foolishness.
Did she think that by associating with the White Family, everything would go smoothly?
After speaking, Joanne glanced at Mason Bennett, then swayed her hips as she walked away.
"Miss Jordan seems to be in a bad mood," Bella suddenly commented.
Aaron heard this but didn’t say anything.
Margaret’s eyes flickered briefly, instinctively looking at Aaron; seeing he didn’t react, she lowered her head and also remained silent.
"Joanna is upstairs now. I hear you two are good friends, you can go accompany her," Aaron suddenly said.
Upon hearing Joanna’s name, Bella no longer cared about Joanne’s matter.
"Alright, I’ll head over then."
"Lola, Lola, I know where little second sister-in-law is, I’ll take you there," Laura quickly volunteered.
Bella smiled and allowed him to lead her away.
Margaret was left behind, glanced at the two icy faces across from her, and feeling somewhat guilty, averted her gaze, found an excuse, and also left.
...
Not far away, Joanne stood in the corner, but her gaze never left the few individuals.
The woman swirled the wine in her glass but didn’t take a sip.
"That man is Mason Bennett, the eldest young master of the Bennett Family in Brocade City."
Beside her, a man in a burgundy suit spoke.
Joanne, upon hearing this, her eyes brightened, and her smile deepened.
"Turns out, it’s him..."
Mason Bennett in Brocade City, though she hadn’t seen him in person, was universally known...
...
Upstairs, Laura directly led Bella into a room.
Seeing the person who entered, Joanna was slightly stunned, but upon seeing Bella, her face lit up with joy and she stood up.
"Bella?" she exclaimed in surprise.
Bella entered with a smile, her eyes taking in the girl before her.
Joanna was dressed in a pink gown, complementing her delicate, rosy face.
Her soft long hair was tied up, revealing her fair and slender neck.
Joanna looked beautiful, but she rarely dressed up, and her current elegant appearance was truly stunning.
"I wonder if Aaron will be starstruck when he sees you," Bella teased with a smile.
Joanna’s smile stiffened briefly but quickly returned to normal, still smiling.
"When Brother Mason sees you, he’ll be the one starstruck," she replied, feigning lightheartedness.
But Bella still noticed something was off about her, her smile faded slightly, then she looked at Laura.
"Laura, could you go find your third brother and say your little second sister-in-law wants some cake?"
Laura blinked with an expression of confusion, but obediently nodded: "Okay, Lola, do you want some?"
"Yeah, I prefer strawberry flavor."
After Laura agreed, she ran outside.
There were White Family members in the corridor, so they would accompany Laura, meaning Bella didn’t worry about his safety.
"Now that no one else is around, aren’t you going to tell me something?"
Bella’s smile quickly vanished, and she looked at Joanna solemnly.
