Chapter 740: Chapter 739: Conquering Her Heart (23)

"I’m short on money?" Shirley Caldwell laughed sarcastically, "I say, dear sister, you’re so crazily poor that you think everyone else is like you, don’t you?"

"Since you don’t lack money, is there any point in holding out your hand for mine?" Bella Acker said, "And please, don’t call me sister, we’re not close."

Bella had initially thought that being half-sisters, she’d speak a bit more tactfully.

But seeing Shirley Caldwell’s aggressive attitude, she didn’t feel like she was dealing with a half-sister, so she didn’t see the need to feign familial affection.

Moreover, she had only just acknowledged her mother, and really felt no affection for Shirley Caldwell.

"You!" Shirley hadn’t expected a child raised in an orphanage to have such a sharp tongue, her face went pale with anger, then darkened, and cycled through those colors once more, "Fine! I’m not going to waste words with you. The three million taken from my mom, give it back!"

"Let’s not even talk about whether I took that three million, even if I did, it was given by my mom, what right do you have to come here and ask for it?"

"Such bold words about it being given by your mom, do you have any shame? You say you’re mom’s daughter and you can just be her daughter? Did The Caldwell Family ever acknowledge you? How dare you take money from The Caldwell Family!" Shirley Caldwell sneered, pointing at Bella Acker’s nose, "Anyway, the money today, you’ll return it whether you want to or not, otherwise I’ll make sure you don’t have a life in Creston."

"Little Queen Caldwell, Aunt Rhodes did want to buy me a house as a gift, but I refused, so the three million you mentioned simply doesn’t exist," Bella Acker said, "Besides, am I short of three million right now?"

After ’I Will Not Be a Concubine’ wrapped up filming, she received her payment, and beyond the studio’s commission, there were more than six million on her card, not to mention the movie here which will pay upon completion. Right now, she’s really not short of three million.

Bella Acker has suffered before; even if she has money, she wouldn’t spend it recklessly, nor would she exploit others for money.

"How is it possible? With your impoverished look, how could you not covet a house worth over three million?" Shirley Caldwell assumed a knowing expression, "Don’t try to trick me!"

"Anyway, everything that needed to be said has been made clear. If you don’t believe me, you can go back and ask Aunt Rhodes, or let her show you the property deed directly." Bella Acker chuckled lightly, then turned and walked away.

"Damn, how dare you act so arrogantly in front of me, the Little Queen!" Shirley Caldwell had come with great momentum, but now found herself at a disadvantage, feeling as if she’s been firmly suppressed by Bella Acker, and this feeling made her extremely angry.

Shirley Caldwell never worries about consequences; she immediately reached out to grab Bella Acker’s hair while raising her arm to slap Bella Acker.

Bella Acker turned and grabbed Shirley Caldwell’s hair as well, also gripping Shirley Caldwell’s wrist.

Shirley Caldwell, the high and mighty lady, had never even raised a kitchen knife; how much strength could she possibly have in her hands?

But Bella Acker is different; she has done household chores since she was young, and her hands are quite strong. Furthermore, over the past five years abroad, she took on several part-time jobs, so she certainly has much more strength than Shirley Caldwell.

She grabbed Shirley Caldwell’s wrist, and Shirley couldn’t break free even after struggling twice.

Bella Acker didn’t hold back, she raised her leg and kicked Shirley Caldwell.

Shirley Caldwell was on the verge of going insane.

"Ah! Bella Acker, how dare you hit me! I’ll kill you!"

Shirley Caldwell was truly mad, kicking and hitting randomly, while screaming loudly, pulling at Bella Acker’s hair in a frenzy.
