Chapter 1037: Chapter 1036: Regarding Duplicate Chapters, The Author Has Something to Say

Bella Green did not continue to ask why the Lawrence Family were unaware of her existence,

but instead continued to ask.

"Who is my mother?"

"A woman from an ordinary family who died of massive hemorrhage when she gave birth to you."

Bella Green’s face turned a bit pale, she pressed her lips together in silence and looked at Matthew Lawrence, feeling no ripple of emotion.

Even with so much evidence in front of her, she still felt no connection to her blood relatives.

This man made her feel alienated.

Was it because it was their first meeting?

"Can you let them go now?" she asked.

No matter what her adoptive mother had done, she could not ignore it.

They were her family whom she had lived with for more than ten years, regardless of what Chloe Johnson had done wrong before.

But the love she gave was real. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Of course, but you have to come back to the Lawrence Family with me."

Bella Green frowned.

"I don’t think it’s necessary; since the Lawrence Family didn’t know about me in the past, there’s no need for them to know now."

"Bella, I know you hate me for not being able to find you all these years, but you are a child of the Lawrence Family, and you must acknowledge your ancestry."

Matthew Lawrence was quite adamant about this.

Bella Green felt a deep sense of rejection.

Perhaps, in her heart, she didn’t consider herself a part of the Lawrence Family.

Moreover, such a wealthy family wasn’t easy to enter.

"If you are my father, I will not deny this, but whether I return to the Lawrence Family or not doesn’t affect anything."

Matthew Lawrence looked at her determined demeanor, remained silent for a moment, then raised his hand to turn off the video, and said no more.

This action slightly surprised Bella Green, leaving her unsure of his intentions.

"It seems like there’s no mutual agreement," the man chuckled, shrugging, seemingly a bit helpless.

Bella Green’s heart skipped a beat, her face instantly clouded.

Matthew Lawrence’s insistence puzzled her, yet also irritated her, not understanding why he was so determined.

For a moment, she took a deep breath and continued: "Okay, I agree with you, but you must release them immediately."

Bella Green said.

She agreed to visit the Lawrence Family, but it didn’t mean she really wanted to return.

Besides, it was still unknown what kind of attitude the Lawrence Family would have toward her.

Only then did Matthew Lawrence smile satisfyingly, picking up his phone and making a call.

Listening to the man’s words, Bella Green finally felt relieved.

Just as her heart settled, Bella Green suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Is the signal blocked here?"

She noticed Matthew Lawrence used his phone to make the call, but her phone had no signal.

Matthew Lawrence raised his eyebrows, glanced at her, then dialed another number.

Bella Green took out her phone and watched the signal bars on the screen appear, indeed confirming that the area was signal-blocked.

Regarding Matthew Lawrence’s actions, Bella Green only felt it was odd but said nothing.

She immediately dialed Leo Foster’s number, wanting to inform him.

Once the call connected, Leo Foster’s urgent voice echoed from the other end.

"Bella, where are you? Why couldn’t I reach you?"

The anxious voice also carried a bit of anger.

This was the first time Bella Green had heard the usually calm Leo Foster speak with such a losing composure.

"Brother Leo, I’m fine. I just had some urgent matters to attend to and left hastily, so I forgot to inform you." She said apologetically.

Right now, all she could think about were matters concerning her parents; she was lucky just to drive safely here, let alone informing Leo Foster.

"What sort of issue had you so flustered that you couldn’t even make a call?"

This really scared Leo Foster.

At the time when he couldn’t find Bella Green, he inquired with the crew.

Someone had seen her drive away, which frightened Leo Foster badly.

To his knowledge, Bella Green didn’t have a driver’s license, so he assumed she couldn’t drive either.

Considering Bella Green’s previous living environment which he was familiar with.

They only had an electric scooter at home, so how could she know how to drive?

Especially when the phone couldn’t be reached, it scared him even more.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Brother Leo. I’ll be back in a bit, don’t worry."

"I’m not worried about myself; you should quickly call Mason Bennett. When I couldn’t find you, I called him, he..."

Before Leo Foster could finish his words, Bella Green hurriedly hung up.

Then quickly dialed Mason Bennett’s number.

Thinking about her brother Mason knowing, he might be worried sick, whether he drove himself or Elliot Morris.

With these thoughts, Bella Green’s heart was filled with concern.

But Mason Bennett’s phone was in a state of unreachable.

This made Bella Green even more anxious.

Did it lack signal or was there a problem?

Bella Green was frustrated enough to almost punch herself.

No matter how anxious, she couldn’t lose her composure; she should’ve at least called Mason Bennett to let him know.

She tried several times but couldn’t reach him.

Suddenly, she looked up at Matthew Lawrence.

"Is this area completely without signal?"

Knowing Mason Bennett’s abilities, he should be able to locate her once informed.

She wondered if Mason Bennett’s phone was also signal-blocked.

"Yes." He responded calmly.

That self-evident demeanor left Bella Green speechless.

What kind of peculiarity was this, blocking signals in one’s own place?

"Is there a way to cancel it?" She wanted to see if Mason Bennett was on his way.

Just as she spoke, a man resembling a butler walked in from outside.

Bowed to Bella Green, then walked over to Matthew Lawrence and whispered something.

Upon hearing it, Matthew Lawrence looked at Bella Green, his gaze deepening: "Someone is here looking for you."

Bella Green paused, then realized it might be Mason Bennett, finally feeling relieved.

"Mr. Lawrence, since we’ve finished discussing our matters, I’ll take my leave now."

Saying this, Bella Green stood up and prepared to walk out.

"What’s this, not planning on letting him meet me?" Matthew Lawrence suddenly smiled.

Bella Green halted her steps, turned to look at him, without saying anything.

Indeed, she was not planning to let Mason Bennett and Matthew Lawrence meet.

Although this man might very well be her father, she had no plans for it at the moment.

Just as she hesitated on how to respond to Matthew Lawrence, another man stepped in from outside.

The man came against the light, his tall figure with an imposing aura slowly approached, his pace was not rushed, each step was so steady, yet he walked swiftly.

At the instant he saw Bella Green, the man’s icy aura dispersed a bit.

The tense expression softened a little.

Seeing Mason Bennett, Bella Green seemed to find an anchor, hurriedly welcoming him.

For no reason, her heart held a bit of grievance, her eyes turned red.

Seeing the girl’s expression, Mason Bennett’s recently calmed aura suddenly surged, bringing a few sharp edges straight towards the man sitting in the wheelchair.
