Wed to the Billionaire Brother of My Spouse by Doris

Chapter 490

Chapter 491 Greed Can Amplify Evil

Betty ordered some fancy dishes for Aleah.

Betty meant well, but not everyone saw it that way.

"You ordered all this expensive food. You might think it's no big deal, but to me, it feels like you're showing off, trying to provoke me, putting pressure on me."

Aleah confessed her feelings frankly.

"Do you know why I keep saying you and Richard aren't from the same world, but we are? Because people who've been poor and those who've never been hungry live in two different worlds."

Aleah tried to make Betty understand. "Don't show kindness to someone poorer than you because we're all greedy."

Betty leaned back on the sofa, looking at Aleah. "What are you trying to say?"

"If you're nice to me once, I'll want it again. If you're nice to me twice, I'll want everything you have. I'll get jealous. I'll feel unbalanced. Why not me? Why you?" Aleah's words seemed heartfelt. "Human nature is greedy, no exceptions."

"So, should I listen to you, divorce Richard, and give him to you?" Betty laughed, thinking Aleah was trying a new tactic.

"I'm just sharing my past. I know you can't empathize, and that's fine." Aleah lowered her head and ate pastries.

"Then let me tell you about my life." Betty sipped her coffee. "You think being born rich is great. Maybe I'm ungrateful, but I don't feel that way."

She continued, "My parents care more about the family's interests than about me. A daughter must be raised in wealth, be noble, well-educated, capable, and a good wife." "They raised me to be an excellent wife, then married me off to a wealthy heir they chose. I had to bring glory to the family and maximize their interests."

"They don't care if I have feelings or if I love the person." Betty sneered.

"You think poverty and darkness bring out the worst in people. But do you know that great wealth hides a stench a hundred times worse?" Betty looked at Aleah, amused.

"Greed for money and power unleashes the worst in humanity, amplifying its darkest tendencies."
