Chapter 740:
“I know you like Colden, so I asked a friend to help me get tickets a long time ago. I have two; let’s go watch the movie together,” Bella offered, hopeful.
To be honest, the offer was incredibly tempting for Bernice, and she nearly accepted. However, her enthusiasm quickly waned as she remembered past grievances with Bella. Bella watched Bernice expectantly, confident that she would accept her invitation. She was sure she understood Bernice well enough to predict her response.
However, Bernice declined flatly. “No thanks p>
Bella was taken aback, her disbelief evident. “Why? I bought these tickets for you because I knew you liked Colden p>
Before Bella could finish, Bernice cut her off. She looked at Bella and said, “Are you about to tell me how rare this opportunity is and how much effort you put into getting these tickets? Maybe the old me would have been swayed, but not anymore. I’m not interested p>
“Bernice, what can I do to make you forgive me?” Bella asked, her eyes brimming with frustration and hurt, yet no tears fell.
“I will not forgive you,” Bernice stated firmly.
As Bella’s hope dwindled, Bernice added, “It’s impossible for me to forgive you. Never p>
Unable to handle the rejection, Bella fled, covering her face in humiliation. Donna emerged from the kitchen with waffles just in time to see Bella rushing away.
“What’s wrong?” Donna inquired.
Katelyn merely tilted her chin, gesturing toward Bernice. Following her gaze, Donna spotted Bernice furiously texting.

Understanding dawned on Donna immediately. Recently, Elianna had reached out to Donna, encouraging her to facilitate a reconciliation between Bernice and Bella. However, Donna had always felt that the dispute between Bernice and Bella was a personal matter, and that she shouldn’t intervene.
Suddenly, Bernice exclaimed, “So annoying!” which startled Donna.
“What’s wrong?” Donna asked, assuming Bernice was still upset with Bella. However, Bernice was actually distressed over a different issue.
“He took my money but didn’t deliver the tickets,” she explained.
“Report it to the police,” Yelena interjected, having been preoccupied just moments before.
Bernice looked at Yelena eagerly, hanging on her every word. “Can I get the tickets if I report it?” Bernice inquired.
Yelena hesitated, wondering if she should comment on Bernice’s naivety, but then she decided to be honest. “Of course not p>
Bernice pouted. “Then I don’t see the point in involving the police p>
Yelena countered, “You should report it to ensure the culprit gets caught. It’s about teaching him a lesson, even if you don’t get your money back p>
Bernice sighed, “I probably won’t get my money back, right? He even threatened me, saying he had a powerful friend, so he wasn’t worried about me going to the police p>
Yelena raised her eyebrows, her curiosity piqued. “Okay then. Since he’s so confident, I’d like to find out who his powerful friend is.” She extended her hand toward Bernice. “Give me your phone p>
Bernice, ever compliant, quickly handed over her phone to Yelena.
