Trapped Belle(14)

25

It was supposed to be an ordinary night when the Reed family would have dinner together. Upon seeing all of his descendants gather at the dining table in unison, Lawrence was scared out of his wits.

On their usual days, he saw none of them come to visit him.

Well, now almost everyone was here today.

Following Charles' example, Belle sat at the far end of the long table, indicating her status in the Reed family.

At the sight of Charles' brothers, mother, stepmother, brothers, and sisters-in-law, she was so dumbfounded.

She used to know that the Reed family was rich and powerful. Various rumors about the concubines in the Reed family were known to all. As the saying goes, seeing is believing. What she saw now shocked her even more tremendously.

Dozens of people, who had great momentum, came here nominally for a meal. As they talked happily and casually, hostility and conflict ran deep and silently.

For the first time, she felt as if she had fallen into one trap after another.
