During dinner, Francis said very little, but he was very rude.
“Bah! Bah Bah Bah Bah!” Francis directly spat the wine back into the glass, his handsome face full of disdain.
Mary silently chewed the food in her mouth and gave Belland a look. This bottle of red wine was a treasured collection that she had taken from her father, and she had been reluctant to drink it.
Today, she had specially taken it out to entertain Belland’s family.
Belland gave Mary an apologetic look.
“Oh my God, is this the salmon from the Faran Islands? Is this what you eat?” Francis spat out the fish in his mouth with a strange expression.
Mary smiled and said, “This is rainbow trout, produced in the mountain streams of California in the United States. It inhabits the clear and unpolluted cold water. It mainly eats fish and prawns. We call it the Rapids Warrior.”
Francis raised his eyebrows and eyed the food on his plate with disdain, carefully scrutinizing the texture and color of the fish.
“Fake salmon?” His face was full of disdain.
Mary heard that Francis loved fish, so she specially grilled a rainbow trout for him, but she did not expect him to be so rude.
Her first impression of Francis was terrible.
But he was Belland’s younger brother, after all, and he had just told Mary secretly that his brother had a disease which led him to frequently imagine himself to be rich and famous.
Because of this, Mary still felt a little sympathy for Francis.
Then Francis ate only a little bread and drank some milk, as if he were having breakfast.
The only positive thing about the whole meal was that Francis was full of praise for Mary’s bread.
During the second half of the dinner, Mary turned on the television because there was nothing much to say.
Belland paused. Mary seemed to notice something and looked up at the television. Then, she froze.
Francis commented while gazing at the television, “I didn’t expect you to look pretty good on camera.”
Belland’s expression changed.
He had hidden it from his wife for so long, but it had been exposed by the television program!
Mary never watched TV at home. This was her habit. She usually only watched a few videos with him, so this time, Belland reluctantly agreed to show his face on TV.
The thing that he wanted to explain to his wife first was exposed by the sudden TV scene. Belland’s expression was particularly stiff as he turned to look at Mary.
Mary was staring at the man’s side profile on the television in surprise. She also had a puzzled expression, probably also because of Francis’s comments.
But then, she continued to eat as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, Belland could not figure out what was going through Mary’s mind. He wanted to ask, but the words were stuck in his throat. He did not know how to begin.
He felt guilty.
In fact, Mary did not have any such thoughts at all.
At first, she was surprised that her husband would appear on television. However, in the television, the host said that the ceremony that was going on was the wealth transfer ceremony of the Slann Consortium. And the gentleman who looked just like her husband, was now the new chairman of the Slann Consortium.
The Slann Consortium? Mary was familiar with it.
It was one of the largest financial groups on Wall Street, controlling a large portion of the financial resources in the country. Mary was not clear on all the details, but no matter what, they were definitely wealthy.
The word rich had never been associated with the plain and handsome man beside her.
Until now, Belland had simply been an employee who needed to travel all year round, but did not earn a particularly high salary.
So how could the man on the television be her husband?
The most important thing was that the camera only showed the man’s side profile. Although the side profile was similar, she could not be certain just because of that.
As for Francis’s comment, Mary naturally thought that it was a joke to tease Belland. Perhaps it had something to do with Francis’s “psychological illness”.
Who could be certain?

After dinner, Francis went back to the guest room.
When Mary finished cleaning the dishes and returned to the room, Belland was waiting for her with his upper body naked.
Blushing, Mary urged him to take a shower first, and Belland had no choice but to agree.
Mary lit two candles in the room and put on soft music, changing into a silk low-cut white nightdress.
The hem of the nightdress was very short, barely covering her thighs.
Mary’s figure was very good. Her legs were long, her waist was thin, her breasts were big, and her buttocks were round. Combined with her beautiful oval face, her looks had always appealed to Belland.
Now that she had changed into such sexy and revealing clothes, she could almost imagine how Belland would be later.
Quietly, Mary took out a ball from the drawer and wiped her armpit with it.
Finally satisfied, she looked at herself in the mirror.
At this moment.
The lights in the room suddenly turned dark.
Fortunately, Mary had just lit a candle to create the atmosphere, so she still could see. But when she thought of Belland who was still bathing, Mary quickly took out a flashlight and walked out of the room to the bathroom door.
