The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 212

The news of the upcoming union between the Ellingtons and the Brooks had just broke, so Beatrice had called Arabella immediately.

The Brooks were not fond of Arabella’s interactions with Beatrice, so she had to sneak out to meet her in Jewel Park

Beatrice stood near a staircase, watching Arabella approach wearing a baseball cap and a mask. She chuckled coldly. “Arabella, you’ve come up in the world. It’s a struggle just to see you”

It took countless calls just to arrange this meeting.

She finally understood what Michael and Joseph Hawthorn meant Arabella was just a fair–weather friend. No matter how much Beatrice loved Arabella, as soon as Arabella had a taste of the high life, she didn’t care about her anymore.

“Granny, what are you talking about?” Arabella forced a laugh. “I’ve been busy preparing for the college entrance exam lately

“Oh really? Or is it because the only one you call ‘Granny now is that old hag, Judith? Beatrice gave a cold huff.

Initially, she had planned to get Arabella into the Brooks family, hoping that Judith and Scott would help her revive the Hawthorns.

Unexpectedly, the Brooks family took Arabella back but only thanked her with a small sum of money. They bought them an apartment and said that once Arabella got into Rivenwood, they would transfer the ownership of Hawthorn Mansion to her.

Was this what she wanted?

She wanted the resurgence of the Hawthorn Group.
