Bella glanced at Steven.
Steven understood and walked over to open the door.
âMs. Thompson!â
The vice president of the hotel, Michael Gordon, who was responsible for the mistakes yesterday,
barged in. He was so quick that Steven could not stop him.
Bella frowned and watched as Michael rushed over to her desk.
âMr. Gordon, why are you still here? Iâve approved your resignation, so you may find another job.â
âMs. Thompson, you canât do this to me! I have worked for this hotel for almost 20 years! I worked so
hard for the hotel that I developed many illnesses due to exhaustion. Even your father wouldnât fire me.
How could you just fire me like this?!â Michael was sweating profusely as he yelled at Bella.
âIâve read the details of all the hotelâs top executives. Your illness includes fatty liver and gallbladder
polyps. It looks like youâve got quite a big appetite.â Bella sneered.
Michael heard the sarcasm in her words and shuddered in fear. âI really didnât know that Alia Furniture
has been selling poor-quality bedding to our hotel! Alia Furniture has been cooperating with us for the
past three years, and they quoted us a reasonable price. They are also a well-known
brand in Savrow, so Iâ¦â
Before he finished speaking, Bella flicked her hand and threw a document at his feet.
âThis is a detailed account of all the transactions between the hotel and Alia Furniture in the past three
years. Canât you see that the financial report is full of loopholes when youâre in charge of the finance
department?â
Michael picked up the document apprehensively and looked through it. The pages felt like red-hot
coals in his hands.
âI also received an anonymous report.â
Bella picked up the coffee mug and casually took a sip. Her eyes shone coldly. âSomeone reported
you, saying that youâve had close contact with Alia Furniture and received a huge bribe from them to
purchase Aliaâs second-rate bedding in bulk.â
Michael was so frightened that his teeth chattered, and he almost lost his balance.
âI wonât fire anyone for no reason if I donât have evidence. But I have the evidence, so I wonât show any
mercy. Mr. Gordon, if you still have any objections, we will resolve the matter through legal
means.â
âMs. Thompson, Iâm sorry! I was blinded by the benefits and made the wrong decision. Please spare
me! If this gets out, I wonât be able to find a job again in Savrow.â
Michael was so frightened that he almost begged her on his knees. âAlia Furniture approached me first,
saying that they would make me a fortune! Mr. Gold came up with this idea. I thought that all
mattresses were pretty much the same, so I didnât think much about it and fell for his tricks.â
Bella laughed.
A vice president who had been in the hotel industry for 20 years started to act dumb in order to protect
himself.
âThatâs enough, Mr. Gordon. You know what youâve done. Rather than wasting your time with me, it will
be more practical if you go back and submit a few more resumes. Mr. Lovett will see you off!â
Michaelâs face was filled with despair as he was driven out of the office like an unwanted dog.
Outside the office, Michael immediately changed his expression and took a deep breath.
âThat bitch! Iâll teach her a lesson!â
Bella resented seeing the hotelâs executives fill their own pockets while disregarding the hotelâs
interests.
âMichael Gordon must have a bad reputation among the staff to have a whistleblower stand out as
soon as you investigate him.â Steven looked excited, like he had gotten his revenge.
âNo one reported him.â
âWhat?! Were you just bluffing?â
âYup.â
Bella responded nonchalantly and started to play video games. Her way of de-stressing was to vent her
anger by killing zombies. âEven if I was bluffing, he wouldnât have admitted his fault if he was
innocent.â
Steven could not help but applaud this move. Bella was certainly a risk-taker. He said, âMichael and
Alia Furniture have been working together for three years. It looks like heâs taken quite a big cut. We
should sue him and make him spit out everything.â
âWe should leave some room for maneuver, just in case. If I press on too hard, the other hotel.
executives may form a coup! Also, Wyatt was the one who promoted Michael back then, so I should
show my father some respect.â
Bella said nonchalantly while chasing some zombies in the game with a big axe, âDuring this period,
get someone to keep an eye on Michael. If he contacts Rosalindâs brother again, report it to me
immediately.â
âYes, Miss!â
At this moment, Bellaâs phone kept beeping with messages from a group chat.
âSteve, Iâm not free now. Will you help me check whoâs messaging me?â Bella concentrated on her
game.
Steven hurriedly came over to take Bellaâs phone. âOh, itâs a group chat called âThe Thompson Family
Secret Bureauâ. Your brothers are messaging you.â
Axel was the one who created this group chat, with members including Bella and her four brothers. The
reason it was called the Secret Bureau was because her marriage to Justin must be kept secret
from everyone else.
Bella was so shocked that she could not care less about the game and hurriedly grabbed her phone.
After all, Steven was not aware of her marriage and divorce yet. The fewer people who knew about it,
the better. Otherwise, she would be in big trouble if this news reached Wyatt:
[Axel (Bellaâs second brother): I canât stand it anymore! Justin Salvador is a complete asshole!]
[Declan (Bellaâs third brother): Iâll check if Salvador Corporation has any illegal dealings and will try to
make them bankrupt within a month!]
[Drew (Bellaâs fourth brother): I will try to break Justinâs bones within a week.]
[Asher (Bellaâs eldest brother): Amen.]
[Bella: Stop! Someone tell me whatâs going on!]
A few seconds later, Axel sent her a link.
[Axel: That jerkface has already announced his new marriage. Not only that, some anonymous people
commented that you were the homewrecker who stole someoneâs love and forced that jerkâs hand in
marriage. That was the reason they separated in the first place.]
[Drew: Oh? Separated, huh? Iâll show them what real separation isâ¦]
[Asher: Drew, fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! For they shall soon
be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.]
[Asher: Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret-it leads only to evil.]
[Axel: Ash, please stop talking. Youâll grow a halo soon if you continue.]
[Drew: Bella, I will take down all negative news about you in half an hour and remove news of Justinâs
remarriage from trending topics.]
[Bella: Drew, donât.]
[Bella: Let the storm come.]
Axel sent a confused emoji.
[Bella: Because this has nothing to do with me! Justinâs ex-wife is Anna Brown, and I am Bella
Thompson, heiress of KS Group.]
[Axel: Right! Youâve never made a public appearance with Justin in the past three years, and no
outsider has ever seen you. Itâs unlikely that anyone will find out your true identity, so this news doesnât
affect you at all!]
[Bella: But a certain ungrateful bitch is going to have a headache because of this.]
She curled her red lips smugly.
Bella thought, âJustin, Iâve given you a chance to be with your childhood sweetheart. But that woman is
ungrateful, so donât blame me for retaliating.â
Everyone at Salvador Corporation was caught off guard by the sudden news of the CEOâs marriage.
The public relations department and Ianâs phones were bombarded by the media. This news also
shocked Savrow and the whole country.
Justin Salvador was getting married, again!
Before the media could ask about his first marriage, he had already gotten divorced.
Was it a secret marriage?
âSavrow Daily was the first to release this news. I heard that Ms. Gold personally went to the director of
the news channel before the news was released.â
Ian stared at his phone intently. âNow, this article has exceeded one million retweets, but the number
one trending hashtag is #whoIsJustinSalvadorsExWife. The netizens are also criticizing the young
madam.â
âSue them!â Justinâs handsome face was as cold as an ice sculpture. His eyes were so dark that they
looked bottomless.
Savrow Daily was under Salvador Corporation. This media channel had been advocating for them.
âWho do you want to sue?â
âEveryone who is involved in spreading this news!â
âYes, sir. But what about the public opinion? Iâm afraid I canât control itâ¦â
Ian could not help but worry. âSigh⦠I wonder what the young madam thinks when she sees this. She
must be very sad.â
Justinâs eyes suddenly darkened. He immediately picked up his phone and called Asher.
Damn it! Justin was calling Asher so often that people might think he had a crush on him.
Justin hesitated. Then he saw Rosalindâs name on the caller ID.
He frowned and had an inexplicable feeling.
