Chapter 423: Chapter 423

Xena dropped her phone.

Feeling weak in the knees, she sank to the ground. Her world had just crumbled.

Late at night, Bethany took a lovely bath and went through her skincare routine in front of her dressing

table.

Ever since Ryan gave her an ultimatum, Bethany could not shake off the apprehension. Heck, she

could not even sleep well at night.

She thought, ‘What was good about the idiot anyway? Why did Bella stand up for Carrie? Why did

Ryan have her back?’

“That fake bitch,” Bethany muttered.

Bethany grabbed a lipstick and scribbled Carrie’s name on the mirror before crossing it out furiously. “I

don’t have time for you now. Just you wait. Once I become the general manager of the Salvador Hotel-”

Her phone rang.

Seeing that it was Zoe, Bethany scowled in disdain and put on a fake smile. “Oh, Zoe. What’s up? Why

are you calling at this hour?”

“Shit has hit the fan!”

Zoe sounded serious as she spoke in hushed tones. “I just received word that Bella caught the mole on

the planning team. The police. have taken him into custody.”

“What? How did that happen?”

Bethany cried, feeling uneasy. “Uh… What about Xena?”

“Don’t you know Xena and her boss were caught in bed on a livestream tonight? The guy’s wife caught

him in the act and made. them viral online. They didn’t even have time to get dressed. Talk about

embarrassment.”

Bethany’s mind went blank.

Her world shattered in the span of a bath.

“Delete all your communications with Xena before the police track you down,” Zoe said glumly.

“G-Got it.”

Another call came in, and it was from Bethany’s secretary.

“Hang on, Zoe. I need to take this call.”

She put Zoe on hold to take the call from her secretary. “What’s the situation with Xena?”

“It’s bad, Ms. Bethany.”

The secretary responded anxiously, “Ms. Gordon was in a car crash. near Cielrio Road. She’s

unresponsive and fighting for her life as we speak.”

“Fuck. That’s good news.” Bethany rejoiced over the news.

“Huh?” The secretary was confused,

“Bella caught the mole, so it’s only a matter of time before she traces it back to Xena and us. Xena’s

accident couldn’t have come at a better time. That was a close call.”

Bethany’s eyes flickered dangerously. “Hmph! The woman has done her part by ruining Bella’s

partnership with Ada, so it’s time for her curtain call. She should rest at the hospital and stay out of

trouble.”

Bella found out about Xena’s car accident right away.

She was picking out wine from the wine cellar Asher had built for her. She planned to enjoy a nice wine

before bed.

“I heard that Xena got into an accident because she spaced out. I guess the livestream of her sleeping

with the boss did a number on her.” Steven held the ladder steady for Bella.

“Well, she did it to herself. She’s a beautiful woman. Why did she sell herself out?” Bella was aloof

about the matter.

“Stacey didn’t hold back, for sure.” Steven clicked his tongue.

“I guess it sends a message out to all the other women out there n to get involved with a married man.”

Bella’s marriage lay in ruins when Rosalind took her husband.

Although Justin felt nothing for Bella in the three years of marriage, there was no reason for Rosalind to

trample on Bella’s dignity and come in between the husband and wife.

“Now that the minor players are down, should we focus on the headliner, Ms. Bella?” Steven looked

deep into her eyes.
