She didn’t know how long she had been walking; this road seemed endless.

Her head grew heavier, and her body felt colder.

Yet Xylia felt her mind becoming clearer.

Yes, no matter what.

No matter if he was Bella Green’s boyfriend, she had to ask for the truth.

Even if she had to give up, she needed Mason Bennett to say it to her face...

Back then, it wasn’t just her one-sided feelings; they both had mutual affection.

Then why should he be the only one to end it...

This thought became clearer, and Xylia clenched her teeth tightly, her steps more determined.

She needed to find him...

But this thought, while strong, was beyond her frail body’s capability to find Mason Bennett.

On a snowy midwinter night, the girl’s white silhouette lay alone under the streetlamp, desolate and helpless.

...

Bella Green stayed at the Bennett Family for a day, then returned to the film set.

Seeing Louis Lawrence again, she looked a bit complicated.

Previously, when Emma Sutherland asked if they were siblings, she thought it was amusing and gave an ambiguous reply.

Who would have thought that in the end, they really were siblings...

Louis Lawrence, by blood, was her brother...

Did he know?

She thought probably not, since her identity, except for Matthew Lawrence, no one in the Lawrence Family knew.

"Tsk, looking at me like this, are you thinking of making the act real? Does your Mr. Bennett know?"

The teasing voice suddenly sounded, startling Bella.

This tone, she ought to be most familiar with.

At first, this was how she and Louis Lawrence interacted.

But now, it felt a bit different.

So, Louis Lawrence speaking to her in this tone always seemed a bit off.

"Louis Lawrence, does your family know how shameless you are?" Bella retorted uneasily.

Louis raised an eyebrow, lifted his hand to touch his cheek, his long fox-like eyes full of allure.

"What, are you thinking I’ll go faceless so you can pick it up? Don’t tell me you haven’t taken a liking to me."

Bella sneered, giving him a look to figure it out himself.

Then she turned and left.

She had finished her scenes for the day; next were some supporting roles’ shots.

She changed her clothes.

Bella Green was about to go to her room.

But suddenly her phone rang.

Seeing the unknown number, Bella was momentarily stunned.

Not because of the unfamiliar number, but because.

There was no signal on this mountain, only the internet.

Last time she tried making a call, but it didn’t go through.

How could she be receiving a call now?

Thinking that, she answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Finished filming?"

The gentle male voice on the other end made Bella stiffen suddenly, her face changing multiple times.

Never did she expect the call to be from Matthew Lawrence...

She bit her lip, and after a moment of silence, she responded.

"Is there something you need?"

"Michael Green and Chloe Johnson have already been handed over to your boyfriend."

Upon hearing this news, Bella secretly sighed in relief, "Thank you."

Indeed, she should thank him.

No matter what, Chloe Johnson had stolen his child.

Now that he was willing to let Chloe go, of course, she had to thank him...

"I don’t like you being so distant with dad."

Bella did not reply, merely having an inexplicable aversion to this form of address.

"Anything else?"

"Once you’re done, come have dinner with dad; the person I sent to pick you up should be there."

That all-arranged manner left Bella feeling a bit uncomfortable.
