Chapter 430 An Unexpected Twist

Seeing that the Maizes had encircled her, Eleanor couldn't help but smile mockingly. She didn't say anything but intentionally stared at Yara. Although she was covered with a towel, the bruises on her arms and neck remained exposed, as if she wanted to show them off. Getting stared at by Eleanor made Yara quite anxious, but she was confident in her acting skills. After ensuring she had not broken character, she acted aggrieved, helpless, and frightened-all to garner Eleanor's attention. "Bella..." Eleanor finally spoke.

"Yes, Eleanor." Bella knew she was about to say something and quickly went up to her. She highly expected Eleanor to promise them what they wanted.

When Eleanor extended her hand, Bella quickly held her. Then, the former rose with her help and announced, "I've had enough breakfast today. It's time for me to head home and rest."

Everyone was speechless and didn't understand her meaning. But for Bella, she was extremely embarrassed as her face froze. "Eleanor, let me..." She forced a smile.

Before she could finish, Eleanor raised her hand. "It's okay. I can return by myself. You should stay and handle this complicated matter." She broke free from Bella's grip and headed toward the door.

Following Eleanor's words, Bella had no guts to bother her further. Even after she had left, the room of people remained in dead silence. The atmosphere was eerie.

Yara dropped her pitiful facade since Jonathan and Eleanor were no longer around. "Aunt Bella, did she just... leave?" She couldn't believe it.

According to their plan, Eleanor was supposed to make Jonathan marry Yara to maintain the reputations of both families. Bella was perplexed because Eleanor had previously shown support for their union. However, the reactions she received confused her even more. Despite all that, she knew she had angered Eleanor.

"What should we do now, Bella?" Cindy turned to her. "You've been supportive of this marriage alliance. Now that Yara has become entangled with Jonathan, the Finches must do something!"

Rupert also turned to Bella. At that point, she was getting overwhelmed. Had this marriage alliance not been beneficial to Jack, she wouldn't have involved herself in this scheme.

She calmed her chaotic mind and reassured them. "Don't worry. Eleanor saw it with her own eyes. As long as Jonathan has done things to Yara, he can't run away from this marriage!" As long as they had done it...
