Hearing the report from her spy in Beverly Hills, Bella Thompson felt extremely unsettled.
Neither the old master nor Michael Marshall showed any intention of inviting her and her son home for the New Year celebration, as if they had abandoned them completely.
Daniel Marshall had been led astray by Olivia Jenkins, abandoning his duties, and not only did the old master not blame him, he even protected that vile Jenkins woman. Bella Thompson was deeply resentful.
The old master not only looked down on her son, Matthew Marshall, but also thought he was inferior to Daniel in every way, criticizing her and Michael's parenting, and constantly belittling Matthew's capabilities, which hurt Bella deeply.
She didn't dare to tell Matthew about all of this, fearing he wouldn't be able to handle the blow. She alone nursed her wounds and harbored this resentment.
