Berenger and Odalyn were utterly shocked. They’d never expected Bella to discipline Emma. After all, Bella had always treated Emma like a precious gem, never even raising her voice, let alone a hand.

But to be honest, they had all seen this coming. Emma’s spoiled, entitled behavior was largely Bella’s doing. Years of coddling had turned her into a disrespectful, vain young woman.

Berenger and Odalyn knew Emma wanted to return to the Rosewood family for their wealth and status. Now that Bella couldn’t provide all this, Emma was ready to abandon her.

So when Bella finally slapped Emma, Berenger and Odalyn felt a sense of relief and pleasure. It was long overdue.

Scott, however, remained eerily calm. The more Bella and Emma fought, the easier it would be for him to get what he

wanted.

Once he had the money, Emma would be nothing more than something he could discard. Her life would no longer matter to him.

A sly smile flickered across Scott’s face as he looked at Bella. He snapped, his voice tinged with a hint of resentment. “What are you doing? She’s your daughter. Why would you hit her?”

Bella didn’t know what he wanted, but she met his gaze with an unwavering stare. “You’re right–she is my daughter, not yours.”

Scott’s jaw tightened. “I never deny that, but don’t play dumb. I’ve been there for her for eighteen years. Blood or not, she’s as much mine as yours.”

Before things could escalate further, Berenger stepped in. “Enough! Let’s all calm down. Bella, be reasonable.”

Bella lowered her head, not wanting to argue with Berenger. She didn’t say a word, but her silence spoke volumes.
