Bella yawned tiredly and said, âMemphis must harbor resentment towards me and Rosalind, given his
captivity.â.
She continued, âBut if I show him a little kindness while heâs on the brink of mental collapse, Iâm
confident heâll be profoundly grateful to me and channel his hatred towards Rosalind. At that point, heâll
put all his energy into seeking revenge against her.â
Steven complimented, âMs. Bella, youâre so intelligent.â He added, âI canât wait to see them fight!â
A week later.
Bella finished a thorough inspection of the restaurant and returned to her office, feeling satisfied. It had
been almost six months since she took over the hotel, and every aspect of the business was thriving
with an increase in profits.
During the recent evaluation, the hotel not only successfully retained its star rating but was also
awarded the title of âMost Popular Hotel of the Year.â
Bella, however, had her sights set higher. She aspired to win the prestigious âBest Hotel of the Yearâ
title, which had been held by the Salvador family for five consecutive years. With Bella on board, the
Thompson family had a chance to claim the coveted title and steal the limelight.
Bella surprised Steven by accepting interviews from three well-known media outlets and making public
appearances, which was quite different from her usual discreet approach. She had her reasons for
taking such bold actions. Bella realized that relying solely on being Wyattâs daughter would not earn the
trust of everyone if she wanted to become the CEO of KS Group.
In order to establish herself, she understood that she couldnât remain a silent leader in the shadows.
She had to step forward into the limelight and showcase her achievements to the people of KS Group.
When Wyatt entrusted her with the hotelâs management, it was akin to handing her a ladder. Bella
seized this opportunity and intended to make the most of it.
Bella achieved another significant victory in her pursuits. She was with Steven and about to ask for
another cup of coffee when she remembered that Steven had left to handle an important matter. A
week had passed, and with Rosalindâs birthday banquet approaching in just two days, Steven had not
yet returned.
Bella closed her eyes and lightly tapped her fingers on the table. She was confident that her strategy
was right on target. Therefore, she remained calm and patient.
Just then, Bella received a phone call. On the screen, she saw that it was her beloved disciple, Roza
Walker.
She quickly answered with a smile, âRoza, what delightful news do you have for me this time?â
Roza greeted her on the phone, âMaster!â
Roza spoke in a sweet and friendly tone, âI have baked some homemade pastries and have the
finest tea ready for you. Would you like to drop by my place today for a treat?â She had set aside her
usual cold demeanor and opted for a gentler approach.
Bella saw through Rozaâs scheme. âYou want me to check out Rozabelaâs new haute couture designs
again, donât you?â she responded.
Roza playfully objected and said, âCome on, Master, donât expose me!â
Bella offered Roza heartfelt encouragement, saying, âYour talents are exceptional! You no longer need
my guidance. Youâve become an inspiration to numerous aspiring designers and have carved out a
significant reputation in the fashion industry. Trust your instincts. If I meddle too much, it might
overshadow the essence of your work. Believe in yourself, Roza!â
âThank you, Master. Without you, I would not have achieved what I have today.â Roza remained as
humble as she was in her unknown days. Deep down inside, Bella remained her inspiring role model.
Roza hesitated for a moment before she continued, âMaster, actually, thereâs something else I need to
share, but Iâm afraid it might upset you.â
She added, âJust an hour ago, that bitch, Rosalind, showed up again, pestering me for clothes. She
had her eyes set on the silver off-the-shoulder dress hanging in the design room. Honestly, she has no
shame!â
Bella asked casually, âDid you give it to her?â
Rozaâs voice softened. âWell, thatâs why I am here to apologize to you, Master.
Bella reassured her, âI completely understand. Much like me, you do everything with a purpose and
reason. You have your own goals.â
Rozaâs disdainful snort cut through the air as she recounted the scene. âThat dress she borrowed, a
high-end design, mind you, is so last year-already out of fashion. And the fit? Oh, itâs a disaster. The
bust and waist measurements donât suit her figure at all, but she insisted on flaunting the dress
anyway!â
A cold laugh escaped Rozaâs lips. âI made it crystal clear to her that each haute couture piece I create
is unique and precious. Sheâs allowed to borrow, but if she dares to alter any of my designs, even with
a safety pin, Iâll make her compensate five times the price!â
Bella chuckled, her eyes slightly narrowed. âWonât there be issues with wearing such an ill- fitting
dress?â
Roza responded with a shrug. âWhether thereâs an issue or not is not my concern. After all, itâs
Rosalindâs reputation at stake. Donât you agree, Master?â
