Chapter 3
Upon hearing this, David Gus’s expression immediately darkened.
He sized me up, looking at me as if I were insane.
“Bella, you really have a lot of nerve! he sneered. “The daughter of a mere driver, a bastard raised with kindness by Mike Francis, and you dare to disrespect the legitimate daughter of the Francis family?”
His eyes were cold as they locked onto mine.
His words were, without a doubt, meant to reveal the true identities of Snow and me to everyone.
The crowd, upon hearing his words, began to murmur.
“I heard the Francis and Gus families have been close for years, with an arranged marriage between their children. Surely, Young Master Gus wouldn’t mistake her for someone else, right?”
“Yeah, no wonder Bella’s father died so young. Probably from the grief of dealing with her!”
“Ha, looks like they’ve adopted a thankless child!”
If this had happened in my past life, I would have been frantic trying to explain myself.
But now, hearing their words, I simply let out a cold laugh.
“What are you laughing at? Hurry up and return Snow’s necklace to her!”
David Gus suddenly barked.

At least Snow had come up with a reason to the script
“Her necklace? Does it have her name on it?”

“You-!”
David Gus was momentarily speechless, but he quickly regained his composure.
“This is the gift Mike Francis gave Snow for her coming of age ceremony. Are you really going to refuse to give it back? And besides, there’s no name on it for either her or you!”
He sneered at me, as though he knew more about the necklace than I did.
“Heh.”
“Young Master Gus, open your eyes and take a good look at the initials on the necklace,” I coldly laughed at David

This was the necklace my mother had custom–made for me shortly before her passing, so of course, my initials were engraved on it
David Gus’s eyes narrowed.
He gritted his teeth and signaled to the bodyguards behind him.
One of them immediately stepped forward and grabbed my arm, while another reached for the necklace in my
The onlookers simply took it as entertainment and didn’t bother to intervene.
In the struggle, the necklace snapped.
I threw myself forward without thinking, desperately holding it to prevent it from falling to the ground.
At that moment, my heart felt as if it were being torn apart. This was the necklace my mother had left me!
“Ah! Bella, you’ve gone too far!” Snow cried, sobbing. She pointed at me. “This was the coming of age gift my father promised to give me. Why did you ruin it?”
David Gus, who had been holding Snow in his arms, comforted her, “Don’t cry, don’t cry, I’ll buy you a new one.”
“No, no!” Snow wiped her tears, “I want this one! This is the one my father gave me!”
Seeing this, David Gus pointed his finger at me and angrily shouted, “Bella, you’re nothing but a disgrace! Kneel and apologize to your sister right now!”
I looked down at the broken necklace in my hands, my anger rising.
“I’m talking to you!” David Gus reached out to grab me.
I took a step back and, without hesitation, slapped him across the face.
He was stunned.
Snow quickly stepped forward to support him, then pointed at me and shouted, “Bella, how dare you cause a scene at my coming–of–age cerr ny? How dare you slap someone?”
I didn’t hesitate for a second and slapped her across the face as well.
Just then, Mike Francis, who had just returned from outside, saw the scene.
When he saw his beloved daughter being slapped, his face immediately contorted in pain.
“Bella, what do you think you’re doing? Are you trying to ruin the Francis family’s reputation?!”
He rushed forward to comfort Snow, but didn’t forget to curse at me.
