Chapter 261 Asking For Forgiveness
Lilly looked at Bella hopelessly.
This aunty must have been sick for too long and her brain got damaged. Of course, Uncle Anthony would be on my side. I’m the one who brought the USB flash drive. What was she thinking about begging Uncle Anthony for help?
Josh smirked, “Don’t act anymore in front of the evidence.”
Hannah shouted, “Hypocrite!”
Bella continued to cry and shake her head while repeatedly saying, “Not me. Not me.”
She was upset that Anthony had no intention to help her.
Why was he not helping me now like he did five years ago?
“Mr. Anthony…”
Anthony said coldly, “Karma always hits you back.”
His words made Bella feel hopeless. She remembered when Jean was in the hospital, he doted on Jean unconditionally. He would protect her even though she made mistakes.
Why wouldn’t he treat me the same? I just want someone to protect me a little. I have my reasons for doing so… I spent my youth in the ward. Now that I’m better, I have the courage to pursue what I love. I just want to earn some money to matchchis social class. Is that wrong?
The crowd ignored Bella’s cries.
“Why did you do this?” The granny hit Bella with her cane.
Bella shouted in pain.
Sarah wanted to help her out but was pulled away by the others.
A man went up and slapped her, “Those b*stards killed my mother, my grandmother and my brother who was only two years old! I watched my brother get pierced by them! I watched my mother insult my mother! And they killed my grandmother who rushed in to help! Do you know how vicious they are? Do you know what they have done? And you worship them?”

Bella’s face was swollen. She could only cry and beg for mercy. No one would believe her even if she pretended now. It was better to act pitifully and beg for forgiveness.
“I’m sorry, I was wrong! I apologize! Please forgive me…”
Bella’s parents felt disheartened after learning the truth. They spent their whole life trying to cure their daughter, but they got nothing in the end.
The granny asked again, “Why did you do this?”
Bella‘ thought of something and lowered her head.
Seeing the crowd was going to hit her again, she hurriedly confessed.
“It happened one night four months ago. Not long after we moved here, I went for a walk around the
1/2
neighborhood and saw the faces of those people on the bulletin board. Their faces were crossed by red markers. I chatted with someone and asked about it, only to find out what happened back then. I had a nightmare on that night itself. I dreamed about what they did and they were very fierce. I was traumatized and I had nightmares every night. That’s why I worship them to stop my suffering.”
The crowd couldn’t believe what they heard.
What the hell?
If she felt uneasy, shouldn’t she make offerings to the innocent souls who were killed? Why did she worship their murderer instead?
Lilly frowned. Jean shook her head, “It’s definitely not because of this. She received money from someone and she had other motives…”
Humans are complicated. Who knows why Bella did this, is it really just for the money?
Anthony took Lilly’s hand, “Let’s go!”
Josh caught up and asked, “Dad, are we just letting it go?”
“What else should we do?” There will always be someone who would punish the people who violated the baseline of morality.
Several police cars were already downstairs.
Josh was worried, “Will they punish that stupid woman?”
“Yes, they will. What we can do is remember what happened and be alert. We have to guard ourselves from people like that.”
Lilly felt like she had a great accomplishment, “Uncle Anthony, I’m very very hungry!”
Josh looked at Lilly with admiration.
They went home after the commotion.
Watching Anthony leave without looking back, Bella was desperate and aggrieved. She didn’t know why Lilly did this to her. Her offerings had nothing to do with Lilly. The other party did not only give Bella money, but also promised to give her a socialite status after three years. Bella only wanted to be worthy as Anthony’s partner because she truly liked him.
The bad guys were just doing what they thought was right from their point of view. They had been dead for a long time. Why can’t people let go of it? They even used some spells to suppress their souls which made them couldn’t be reborn. It had been so long. The people should forget their hatred.
Bella felt that it was just a small matter to the residents.
