Chapter 79: 079 A rebel child, returning her freedom (3 more updates)
The Bell Family was bewildered, and even Brock Hale and his wife were stunned for several seconds.
Wyatt Hale was just texting his elder brother about the situation, typing the message: “This kid from the Bell Family looks like trouble, I think he’s planning to slander my sister-in-law.”
“Bro, this kid looks so sinister.”
“There’s really no good one in the Bell Family.”
…
But after sending the messages, Lucas Bell pulled a fast one on him.
He quickly retracted the last message:
“Apparently, there is still something good about the Bell Family!”
Lucas Bell indeed looked unwell, exuding a troubling allure.
But when he looked at Zoe Bell, the corners of his mouth would lift slightly, and his eyes would actually shine brightly.
“In my heart, she has always been the best—caring for me, concerning herself with me, tenderly and meticulously.”
“We’ve always lived together, and it was me who developed feelings for her that shouldn’t exist,” Lucas Bell said with a low chuckle.
“What do you mean ‘shouldn’t’? She’s not even my real sister. I like her, what’s wrong with that!”

No sooner had he spoken than Kevin Bell suddenly stepped forward and slapped him on the face!
“Lucas Bell! You unfilial son!”
“What nonsense are you spouting, what has she fed you to make you say such things!”
“What did you promise me when we left earlier?”
Lucas Bell’s face turned pale, his slapped cheek blazing red, he just smiled, “When I was young, I just wanted to express my feelings, not realizing it would harm my sister.”
“You called her shameless, cursed her as a vixen, and I was cowardly; I didn’t even dare to speak up for her, fearing you would harm her…”
Lucas Bell bowed his head and smiled bitterly, “Back then, my sister always protected me, but I was too cowardly!”
“You said that as long as I obediently went abroad, you wouldn’t trouble her.”
“She was injured in the leg; you showed care and concern, and I thought it was all in the past.”
“I was naive.”
“You’ve always held onto this matter, even planning to frame her with it to make Mr. Hale detest and abandon her. I have already paid the price for my cowardice.”
“I am no longer the little boy I used to be; I am an adult now,” Lucas Bell said as he looked at Zoe Bell, “So, sister, you don’t have to be afraid.”
“This time, it’s my turn to protect you!”
Zoe Bell’s breath caught.
Lucas Bell was someone she watched grow up. To say there were no feelings would be a lie, but when she was scolded by their foster parents and he just timidly watched, it hurt her deeply.
Over the years, the two had lost contact.
As Lucas Bell spoke, he pulled out several neatly folded pieces of paper from his pocket, causing the other three members of the Bell Family to change their expressions instantly.
“Lucas Bell, what are you planning to do?” Kevin Bell asked nervously.
“Before we set off, you agreed to my condition to transfer several Bell Family real estate properties into my name. Here’s the agreement, and I had it notarized on the way here.”
“Have you gone mad? You want to give all this to her?” Vivi Lange panicked.
The Bell Family had also made several investments over the years, and those properties were in prime locations, their last resort.
When Lucas Bell demanded real estate, the couple didn’t think too much about it.
After all, the property would eventually be his.
Fearing that the company might actually go bankrupt and they might be pursued by creditors, Mr. and Mrs. Bell considered transferring their remaining assets.
Giving them to their son was inevitable.
But they hadn’t expected that Lucas Bell would produce the agreement at this moment. He just smiled and said, “I might not give these things to her, but I have my conditions…”
“What are you up to now!” Kevin Bell was about to lose his mind.
What in the world had he brought into this world!
Their daughter was causing trouble everywhere.
The son was smart, had always been good at school, but just had to be…
Indifferent!
He even sided with outsiders.
Lucas Bell looked at Zoe Bell and smiled, “I hope you cut off the adoption ties with her.”
“Give her freedom!”
“Impossible!” Kevin Bell decisively refused.
“Brother, are you out of your mind? She’s not your sister, I am…” Mina Bell only just caught her breath, “She’s just our adopted daughter, and you threaten mom and dad for her sake? What are you thinking?”
“One doesn’t need to have blood relations to be considered family,” Lucas Bell looked at Zoe Bell.
“In my heart, she is closer than any of you!”
“The one who was always by my side since childhood wasn’t you, it was only her.”
Vivi Lange was frantic, “Lucas, what on earth is going on with you? For her, would you really abandon us? We are your parents! We wouldn’t hurt you. When I was pregnant with you, I suffered so much, and yet you side with an outsider?”
“I didn’t ask to be born!”
“You’re simply outrageous!”
Lucas Bell bowed his head and forced a smile, “I have blood ties with you, which legally can’t be completely severed. I can’t completely break free from you in this lifetime, but she can. Back then, I wasn’t brave enough to stand up, but this time…”
“I want to give her freedom.”
“She never truly belonged to our family.”
“She should be able to choose the people she likes, choose what kind of life she wants to live.”
Mr. and Mrs. Bell felt dizzy. Kevin Bell had been overwhelmed by corporate affairs lately and hadn’t dealt with the family’s real estate, thinking it was a backup for the family.
This rebel, to actually use this as a threat against him.
“Rebel, rebel! I should never have had you.”
Lucas Bell chuckled softly, “Nobody asked you to have me, if I could choose, I wouldn’t want you as my parents.”
“You…”
Kevin Bell, having not rested well for a month, felt a surge of blood to his head, and felt darkness before his eyes, luckily, Mina Bell supported him timely, “Dad, are you alright?”
She was utterly bewildered by now.
How could things have turned out like this?
She had no affection for Lucas Bell, but his fierce defense of Zoe Bell was unexpected. Had her brother been brainwashed?
Vivi Lange, long plagued by infertility, truly suffered to give birth to Lucas and, with Mina’s disappearance, poured all her heart into her son. Hearing such words from him left her trembling with shock.
She wanted to hit him, yet couldn’t bear to.
At this moment, she no longer cared about keeping up appearances, turned her head, and fixed Zoe Bell with a venomous gaze.
And lunged at her—
Zoe Bell’s mind was entirely on Lucas Bell, shaken by the words he spoke and the actions he took.
Vivi Lange charged at her, and Zoe was caught off guard, not reacting in time.
Only hearing a “bang—” sound.
The teacup shattered on the ground, broken porcelain spread between Zoe Bell and Vivi Lange, and the mixture of tea and leaves seemed to draw a clear demarcation line, like the boundary of Chu and Han.
“Mrs. Bell!” Lily Lott, who had been silent, stood up, “So many people are watching, are you really going to strike?”
“Do you even remember our Hale Family is here?”
“Striking in front of us, that’s rather presumptuous.”
Lily’s tone was disdainful as she rose to her feet, walked over to Zoe Bell, took her by the wrist, and gently pulled her backwards, positioning herself in front of her.
As angry as Vivi Lange was, she dared not strike Lily, her chest heaving violently, “Mrs. Hale, she’s with William Hale for a reason, don’t be deceived by her!”
“Our Hale Family hasn’t been involved with your Bell Family, you know well whether you are genuinely offering advice or have another agenda,”
“Even if she approached with a purpose, that’s a matter for our Hale Family; it’s not your place to dictate our family matters.”
“Mrs. Bell, behave yourself!”
