Divorced but Delighted novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257 No Way!

“Belle, it’s you who brought them here, not us. Even if they are distinguished guests, you have to take responsibility for their disappearance, right? What’s more, our Barton family don’t welcome them at all.”

William was not as polite as his parents. If he was unhappy, he could just say it out loud. He didn’t give Belle any face at all.

Belle was so angry that her face turned red. “How, how can you talk to your elders like that?”

William smiled and said, “Haven’t I always had a bad temper? It’s not the first time that

you’ve met me,

belle.”

“That’s right.” Belle thought.

“Every time I meet William, he is not kind to me and ridicule me as much as possible.”

It had been a long time since William had returned to Los Angeles, and Belle had forgotten what kind of people he was.

She couldn’t win the argument, so Belle didn’t say anything but put on airs.

“Yes, it’s my fault for bringing them here without telling you in advance, but I did it for your own good. She’s Mr. Trevino of the Trevino family in New York. If I bring them here to visit our family, won’t it be a honor for our Barton family?”

Honor?

William couldn’t help sneering in a presumptuous manner.

How could Belle be so thick-skinned to say such words like our Barton family?

The people at the table didn’t bother to talk to Belle and didn’t correct her. Otherwise,

they would scold her for being shameless.

When Belle heard William’s mocking sneer, her expression became even more serious.

“William, I’m serious. I heard that your company is also in New York. The Trevino family has been established for many years. If there is any project to deal with, you have

to rely on them! I brought them here today. You have to thank me!”

“Yes, thank you for sending me a big gift on my birthday.”

William picked up the goblet in front of him and raised his hand to Belle.

Belle frowned, and her voice suddenly stopped.

She thought. “This kid is not normal. Normally, he would have scolded me a long time ago. Why would he propose a toast to me?

“It is really strange.”

However, Belle didn’t argue with him anymore.

“It’s best if you can think like that.”

Belle raised her glass in return.

“I didn’t know about it before, but after seeing Cierra, I found out that she had divorced with the Trevino family. I can understand that you are prejudiced against Mr. Trevino because of that marriage, but you can’t blame me. I didn’t know that Cierra was Mr. Trevino’s ex-wife, right? I just brought Mr. Trevino here out of kindness. If I had known it earlier, I wouldn’t have brought them here again.”

As soon as Belle finished speaking, the atmosphere at the dining table darkened.

Even the good-tempered Sarah put down her fork.

On the one hand, Sarah had been enduring it because Belle was her younger sister. Even

if they fell out with each other, they were related by blood, so it was meaningless to say

more.

On the other hand, Sarah knew that it was useless to say anything. Belle was thick-skinned. Last time, when Belle spoke up for the Trevino family, Sarah got angry when Belle acted as a matchmaker for Cierra. But today, Belle still dared to come and even brought them here in person.

People should have self-knowledge, but Belle had no self-knowledge at all!

Just as Sarah was about to lose her temper, a woman’s cold voice came from the door of the dining room.

“From what you said, if I weren’t Mr. Trevino’s ex-wife, you would think that there’s nothing wrong with bringing Mr. Trevino to visit our house, right?”

Belle thought. “That’s right.”
