Chapter 193
Bella’s POV
Hank continued, “I know Betty too well. She will push all the blame on others. It’s all other people’s fault, and she’s not wrong at all.”
I retorted, “Hank, I don’t allow you to talk about Betty like that. Don’t forget that she’s your wife!” Hank was silent for a moment, but he didn’t argue with me. Instead, he said calmly, “Bella, you’ll understand later. You’ll know that I’m right.” I was a little confused. Thinking back to what Betty said to me just now, I vaguely felt that Hank was right. That’s because Hank was right. Betty just pushed all the responsibilities to me. But I couldn’t tell the truth. It would only ruin the relationship between Hank and Betty. After all, she was my sister, someone I had been protecting since young. I said, “Hank, you shouldn’t be biased against Betty.” Hank said helplessly, “I know you want to protect Betty. You won’t believe me and just want to blame me. Just pretend that I didn’t say anything.” He spread his hands and felt very depressed. Then I said to Hank, “After all, Betty has just given birth, and her body hasn’t recovered yet. She may have emotional fluctuations. These are normal. Your daughter is still young, so you should be more tolerant of her. As for what kind of person Betty is, I have my own judgment. You go upstairs quickly. I’m leaving!” After that, I pulled the suitcase and left quickly. I didn’t want to say anything more to Hank. As for what would happen to Hank and Betty in the end, it was not up to me to decide. As long as I could avoid getting involved in these things, it was already the best-case scenario. After leaving the community, I didn’t call a taxi. I only felt tired. I took the suitcase and walked for a long time before I found a row of chairs on the street for people to rest. Looking at the calm artificial lake not far away, I felt like I was dreaming for the past few years. I never knew what would happen next. I always encountered terrible things unexpectedly. If I could start all over again, I hoped that I didn’t go on a blind date with Hank, so that I wouldn’t know him. Perhaps Betty wouldn’t know Hank either and she would still be enjoying her campus life. If everything could be restored, that night, I definitely wouldn’t have allowed myself to get drunk, and I wouldn’t have anything to do with Herbert. If I didn’t know him, perhaps I would still be working in the Wharton Group.
Life might not be so sad. Unfortunately, I could not start all over again, and being regretful wouldn’t change anything at all. The relationship between Herbert and I was complicated and awkward. My sister and I would soon become enemies too.

14:26 Love, career, and kinship all became terrible… Ring… Ring… While I was thinking, my cell phone suddenly rang. I took out my phone and saw that it was a call from Klein. When I saw Klein’s number, I felt relieved. Perhaps right now, I really needed someone who could give me good energy.
I felt like I was about to be knocked down.
“Bella, I heard from Ella that you resigned. What’s going on? Why did you suddenly resign? And where are you now? I can’t find you!” Klein asked a series of questions frantically. “My sister gave birth to a baby, and there was no one to take care of her at home, so I came back to take care of her.” I didn’t mention the matter of Herbert. For such an unbearable thing, let it gradually rot and disappear with time! Klein was silent for a moment, then said, “Are you saying that you won’t go back to Wharton in the future?”
“I don’t have any plans yet,” I said. Klein laughed. “You can slowly think about it. Don’t be in a rush. I’ll treat you to a meal soon. You can’t refuse me. I want you to see if the clothes you bought for me fit me well or not!” “Okay.” I promised him. Last time, I took off the clothes and sent them to Klein. After I finished speaking, I heard the laughter of Klein. “That’s settled then. Goodbye!” “Goodbye.” I hung up the phone. Isat on the row chair for a long time before I calmed down and dragged my suitcase home. I didn’t want Mom to know that I quarreled with Betty. I didn’t want Mom to worry.
