Chapter 249 The Reunion

As they turned their heads, they met Jaquan’s icy and indifferent gaze.

In that instant, Belle felt a wave of guilt wash over her.

Her sister was easily fooled, but her nephew was no fool.

When his parents were still struggling, Belle used to badmouth Sarah, saying that Sarah had married the wrong person and asked for trouble.

Belle also would say things like, “The Chester family is a well-known family in Los Angeles, why marry a laborer?”. Her speeching was always annoying.

But times changed quickly, and the Dunphy family had firmly established themselves in Los Angeles, becoming part of the upper class, completely silencing Belle.

Belle’s attitude had also changed just as quickly as the times.

She no longer spoke those irritating words, and would often visit Sarah, asking about the Dunphy family’s business and Charle’s situation whenever she had the chance.

But Belle’s schemes had never received a response from Sarah or anyone else. She was always left in the dark.

Back then, Belle was arranged to marry someone in New York.

If Sarah weren’t afraid that Belle would suffer in the new family, she wouldn’t have traveled all the way to New York during her pregnancy.

But Belle used the visit as gossip material to chat with others behind Sarah’s back.
