Chapter 1072: Chapter 1072
Old Master Lawrence’s face was also gradually getting darker.
"You saw her let it go yourself?"
Old Master Lawrence’s suddenly heavy tone made Anna Green’s expression change. She quickly waved her hands. "No, I just meant... it couldn’t have been you who let it go, Grandpa."
"It was me. You got a problem with that?" Old Master Lawrence gave a cold snort, his eyebrows shooting up. He really did look a bit scary like that.
Anna Green was completely stunned. Her mouth hung open as she stared at Old Master Lawrence, unable to say a word for a long time.
How could that be possible?
Everyone in the Lawrence Family knew that Qing’er was Old Master Lawrence’s baby, he treasured it to death.
How could he possibly let it go?
But now that the old man had said so himself, she naturally had no way to refute him.
Her whole face looked like someone had knocked over a palette of cheap makeup, ridiculous beyond words.
She’d dragged herself up early for once just so she could catch Bella Green.
She’d finally found an opportunity, and it turned into a complete farce.
What a humiliation.
"Of course not, I just meant... Grandpa, Qing’er is your favorite bird. How could you just say you’re letting it go and let it go?"
"Watching it fly makes me happy." After being questioned over and over, Old Master Lawrence was getting annoyed.
Anna Green was usually pretty well‑behaved. Why was she being so reckless today?
Really getting on his nerves.
Old Master Lawrence suddenly had no desire to continue his walk and went straight back.
Anna Green stood where she was, panic clawing at her chest.
All this time she’d been desperately trying to please everyone in the Lawrence Family so she could get a firm footing here.
But she never imagined that the relationships she’d worked so hard to build would be ruined just like that.
Of course she could tell the old man was angry—angry at her.
For a moment, Anna Green was both flustered and furious.
From the moment she saw Bella Green yesterday, she knew nothing good would come of it.
And sure enough.
Bella Green was a jinx. Every time she showed up, something bad happened.
She clenched her teeth, hatred itching in her heart, but she couldn’t do anything to Bella Green.
No matter how you looked at it, she couldn’t afford to offend Bella Green openly right now.
"Bella, I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean it just now. It’s just that bird is really important to Grandpa, and I was afraid you’re new here and don’t understand anything yet, and might upset him."
Bella Green laughed when she heard that. She leaned down slightly, moving closer to Anna Green, the corners of her lips curling into a nasty little smile.
"Oh, really? But the one who’s upset Grandpa right now seems to be you."
The girl’s light, almost careless tone almost made Anna Green explode.
Her teeth were chattering, yet she had to force out a gentle, gracious smile.
"Bella, you’re joking. We’re all family here. How could he really be angry?"
Bella Green raised an eyebrow, finding the whole thing amusing.
"Oh? So we’re family now?"
That inexplicable tone made Anna Green’s whole body tense up.
She felt like Bella Green had come here just to torture her.
"Bella, can you not talk to me in that snarky yin‑yang tone? I’m at least your older sister. Whatever misunderstanding we had before, it’s already in the past. Do you have to be so aggressive?"
Those scolding words made Bella Green’s face go a few shades colder. She lifted her chin slightly, looking down at Anna Green from above.
"Older sister? I’m the Lawrence Family’s eldest miss. And what the hell are you? What, is your real dad my uncle?"
After Bella Green finished, she turned and walked off, not sparing her another glance.
Anna Green’s face went deathly pale. She stood shivering in the cold wind, her eyes filled with naked fear.
