Chapter 45: Alva Hill Isn’t Dead Yet
That voice, who was it if not Jane Hasis.
I didn’t think Jane Hasis would find her way here.
Through the window, I saw Jane Hasis with a lofty face, very disdainful, dumped a check in front of Ulysses Will, in a tone that could not hide the contempt: “Here is half a million dollars, and enough for you poor boy to spend his whole life, let me tell you, Bella is the Richter family’s daughter-in-law, it’s not something that a poor boy like you can think of. I tell you, Bella is the daughter-in-law of the Richter family, it is not for you to think about, don’t be a toad to eat swan meat, take the money and hurry to leave North City, don’t let me see you again.”
Jane Hasis is completely humiliating.
Ulysses Will’s eyes, however, rippled, and without even glancing at the check, he coldly rushed out, “Is Mrs. Hill finished? If so, please take your check and leave.”
Ulysses Will’s reaction made Jane Hasis furious, her words were even more harsh: “What, you still think it’s too little? Ulysses Will, you don’t look in the mirror to see what kind of moral character you have, going out at night, you are not afraid of scaring people, and look at what kind of shitty place you live in, and you still want to make my daughter suffer with you, you are a Wimp, simply a fool’s dream, I’m warning you, if you pester her again and make her lose everything she has now, I won’t let you go.”
Ulysses Will gave Jane Hasis a cold look, that look was like a cold knife out of its sheath, making people shiver, Jane Hasis was shocked, her aura was absent, and she subconsciously took a step back.
“What do you want?” Jane Hasis had her hand on the table in order to steady her temper, “Ulysses Will, I’m warning you, get the hell out of North City tomorrow.”
Suddenly, with a snap, Ulysses Will slammed the table and stared coldly at Jane Hasis: “You have Bella Hill in your eyes and on your lips, Mrs. Hill, have you forgotten that you have a daughter, and do you really not care whether she lives or dies?”
I was surprised how Ulysses Will suddenly mentioned me to Jane Hasis.
As soon as Jane Hasis heard this, her eyes flashed with horror, “What do you know? She, she’s dead …”
“She’s not dead yet.”
Ulysses Will’s flippant remark made Jane Hasis blush, and her hand holding the table kept shaking.
“You’ve seen her?” Jane Hasis realized she’d blurted it out and immediately changed her story, “No, she’s dead, and I was the one who claimed the body myself back then.”
Ulysses Will sneered, “Whether she’s dead or not, you know it, I know it, and Bella Hill knows it.”
Jane Hasis couldn’t support herself at all, her feet went limp and she sat down on the stool, she was trembling uncontrollably with fear, she gritted her teeth and glared angrily at Ulysses Will, “What the hell do you want, you want to threaten me?”
“I’m just reminding you that you have another daughter, her name is Alva Hill, and she’ll be back someday.”
“You’ve seen her, haven’t you? Where is she?” Jane Hasis was so out of control she might as well have forgotten what she came to see Ulysses Will for, “Tell me where she is.”
“I thought you said she was dead?” Ulysses Will let out a laugh, “Mrs. Hill, take your check and please leave.”
Ulysses Will hands the check to Jane Hasis, approaches her, and whispers something in her ear that scares Jane Hasis so much that she nearly slides off the stool and onto the floor, Ulysses Will holds her up and slips the check into the pocket of Jane Hasis, who is already scared out of her mind.
Seeing Jane Hasis about to leave, I quickly ducked to the side and watched Jane Hasis leave in a trance.
After Jane Hasis left, Ulysses Will sidled up and whispered, “Come on out.”
He knew I was coming.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
I stepped out of the shadows and looked at him in disbelief, “Why did you just mention me?”
He asked rhetorically, “Do you really want to live with the Bella Hill name on your head for the rest of your life?”
I don’t know what he meant by that, whether he resented me for taking Bella Hill’s name, or whether he was holding it for me.
I think it would be the former.
Who can stand to have their loved one replaced by someone else.
“I brought you chicken soup, drink the soup first.” I carried the chicken soup into the house and served the soup for him, “You should have accepted the check just now, she gave the money, don’t take it for nothing.”
Ulysses Will took a sip of his soup and ventured lightly, “Well, I’ll take it next time.”
Given Jane Hasis’ nature, I’m afraid she won’t be sending a check next time, but will take other measures.
“You’ve been careful lately, and by the way, how about a new house, the environment here is not suitable for creativity.”
“It’s fine right here.” Ulysses Will said, “Walker Richter will get suspicious if you come over too often, so it’s better not to come back.”
“He’s been too busy socializing lately to worry about me.” I said, “Now that THE Richter family is convinced I’m Bella Hill, no one will suspect a thing, I’ve gotten a specialist in burns, made an appointment for you, and I’ll take you there the day after tomorrow.”
“Good.”
I thought he’d say no, but I was a little surprised at how quickly he agreed this time.
Lately he’s been stabilizing a lot and becoming more peaceful.
After half an hour here at Ulysses Will and on the way back to the old the Richter family mansion, a call came in from Jane Hasis, and I, too, fearing that her emotions at this point might be hurtful to Ulysses Will, answered it.
As soon as the connection was made, Jane Hasis’s shrill voice came in, “Bella, if you still recognize me as your mother, you must not see Ulysses Will again, and you must break it off with him, or else you’ll be waiting to collect your mother’s body.”
It seems that Ulysses Will’s excitement is such that Jane Hasis has never spoken so harshly about “Bella Hill” before.
I asked in mock bewilderment, “Mom, what’s wrong with you?”
“Anyway, I’ll put the word out here, you still care about THE Hill family, about me and your father, just be your Ms. Richter,” Jane Hasis said, “Ulysses Will is too evil, his intentions are impure, what he has in mind of your sister Alva, so don’t be a fool.”
Jane Hasis took Ulysses Will’s questioning as love for me.
“I know in my heart that I’m the daughter of THE Hill family, I won’t disregard you and dad, so just stay out of this, or else if you really let THE Richter family know about SWEETHEART’s birth, then you’re the one who ruined it all, and then it’ll be irreversible.” I deliberately scared Jane Hasis.
Jane Hasis didn’t say anything about Ulysses Will talking about me until the end, because she didn’t want to influence “Bella Hill.” That’s a good mother.
Back at the old mansion, Nancy Richter blocked my way at the door of the house, “Second Sister-in-law, where have you been?”
“Going out for a stroll.”
“Strolling?” Nancy Richter took on an interrogative air, “I’ve heard you’ve been having the kitchen make soup lately, who have you been carrying it around to?”
I frowned, “A friend was hospitalized and I went to see my friend, can’t I?”
“One moment you say you went out for a stroll, the next moment you say you went to see your friends, Second Sister-in-law, which of your words is true and which is false?” Nancy Richter glanced at me and said conspiratorially, “Don’t think that you can fool around as you please just because you have Second Brother’s backing, if I find out that you’ve wronged my Second Brother, I won’t be able to spare you, I really don’t know what kind of medication Second Brother has been taking wrong lately, pampering you like a baby and making Sister Pheobe sad.”
I can kind of hear that Nancy Richter is sticking up for Pheobe Wilson and picking on me.
I laughed, “It’s only natural for husbands to spoil their wives, you won’t understand if you’re not married.”
