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.
