âMr. and Mrs. Salvador deeply cherish you! You can assist me in gathering information, serving as my
inside source. By combining our efforts, the advantages will outweigh the drawbacks, especially when
confronting Bella. I think itâs definitely more advantageous if we work together!â Zoeâs eyes flickered
with desire.
Upon learning Zoeâs plan to deal with Bella, Bethany immediately lit up, full of enthusiasm.â Alright, letâs
form an alliance! Weâll see how that despicable Bella dares to act arrogantly in Savrow in the future!â
Zoe crossed her arms, and her boldly painted lips exuded an air of arrogance and confidence.
Zoe had enjoyed a life of luxury, endlessly pampered by her parents and brother since childhood. She
attended school alongside members of the royal family and won international awards. Her entire life
had unfolded under the spotlight and applause.
She had never tasted defeat. Whatever she desired, she never failed to obtain it.
ââMy hand is reserved for the woman I love.â
Zoe thought to herself, âI wonât let you slip away again, Justin. I am determined to marry you. I am the
only one destined to hold your hand!â
In the blink of an eye, the day arrived for the return to Hatchbay.
To make it back in time for the evening banquet, Bella dedicated the entire day to a whirlwind of
activities-approving documents, attending meetings, and delving into wedding plans. Her schedule was
relentless.
Fortunately, the efforts yielded gratifying results.
Guided by Bellaâs leadership, Ada Wangâs wedding plan saw successful completion after days of
collaborative teamwork.
As Bella declared the words âapprovedâ, cheers erupted from the crowd, creating a joyous atmosphere
no less exhilarating than the celebration of a successful Olympic bid.
Collaborating with Bella demanded both robust mental and physical endurance. Otherwise, someone
might succumb midway. Yet, during this period, not a single complaint was voiced, and there was no
hint of retreat.
Despite her elevated status, Bella personally immersed herself in the tasks at hand, showing no
pretense as the heiress of KS Group. She worked just as hard as they did, providing a continuous
supply of meals, coffee, and snacks, never shortchanging anyone.
Although Bella upheld high standards and pursued perfection, her words flowed with grace, revealing a
blend of creativity and ingenuity. When others faced challenges, she effortlessly provided timely
solutions, earning admiration and appreciation from all.
âEveryone, thanks for the tremendous effort during this period. Take a well-deserved three- day break
to rest and recharge. Then, head to the dining directorâs office to pick up two deluxe buffet vouchers
and treat yourselves. I have an appointment later, so unfortunately, I wonât be hosting a meal for us.â
Bella stood at the head of the oval-shaped conference table. Her fair and slender arms rested on the
tableâs edge as she smiled at the crowd. âOnce we secure Ada Wang, you wonât just get bonuses and
paid time off. Youâll also get those trips to the Maldives or Iceland that you guys talk about! Iâll pay for it
out of my own pocket, so you can have fun. Iâm a woman of my word!â
âAll hail, Ms. Thompson!â The crowd cheered, raising their arms in excitement.
Although the bid had not yet succeeded, Bellaâs encouraging words infused everyone with a glimmer of
hope.
It was already 5:00 p.m. by the time Bella left the conference room.
âMs. Bella, Iâve prepared your attire for the dinner. Itâs in the dressing room. Would you like to change
now?â Steven followed behind her and asked gently.
âIâm too lazy to bother. Uncle Lance has seen me grow up, and heâs like a brother to Wyatt. Heâs
witnessed all kinds of moments from my childhood.â
Observing that time was running out, Bella and Steven entered the executive elevator.
As the elevator descended, she adjusted her hair in the reflective doors and meticulously applied
lipstick to her delicate lips. Like the final stroke on a canvas, her complexion immediately improved.
Witnessing her discreet grooming, Steven smiled adoringly.
Indeed, beneath the assertive and sassy exterior, there was still a soft and adorable young lady.
Engrossed in their thoughts, neither of them noticed that the elevator had already reached the first
floor.
Ding-
The doors opened.
Once again, the enchanting scent of violet leaves filled the air, lingering and tantalizing the senses. It
was warm, profound, and elegantly elusive.
If this fragrance had a name, Christopher would likely be its creator.
As expected, Bella suddenly raised her gaze and unexpectedly met Christopherâs deep, mysterious
eyes. In an instant, her pupils slightly contracted. Her hand trembled, and her
carefully applied lipstick deviated from its course, leaving a playful red smudge.
Christopher smiled as he locked his gaze on her surprised expression.
âMs. Thompson, Iâve come to take you home.â
