The reporters chuckled. Their gaze was full of malicious intentions, mockery, disdain, and loathing.
Celeste could feel every mocking gaze that was directed at her like a
stab to her heart. She felt as if her heart were crushed.
âMom, donât be afraid. Iâll protect you!â Amelia tightly hugged her
mother, shielding her from their sinister gazes.
The normally shy and cautious Amelia now had a resolute gaze. She whispered in Celesteâs ear, âIâll
never let anyone harm you.â
âAmelia, Iâm fine⦠Iâm fineâ¦â Celeste shook her head with a vacant expression. Her once-clear eyes
are now muddled and chaotic.
Seeing this, Amelia felt her heart ache. Tears involuntarily streamed
down her face, freezing in her motherâs hair.
âWhat did you say? I dare you to say it again?!â Sasha pointed di
at the journalistâs face. Her face turned red with anger!
Another journalist mocked. âMadam Sasha, this matter has nothi
to do with you. Why are you so angry?â
âThese journalists were likely sent to cause trouble!â Sashaâs eyebrows furrowed, instantly seeing
through the situation.
âWhy wouldnât I be angry?! Celeste is family to me. Insulting her is equivalent to insulting me!â Sasha
said indignantly, wishing she could
break his ribs!
The journalist sneered. âFamily? In front of the media, you might appear to be a loving family, but who
knows whatâs going on behind
the cameras?â
âMadam Sasha, when it comes to affluent families, as journalists, we
have seen it all. Which woman doesnât feel jealous or compete for
attention? If it werenât for necessity, who would willingly share a
husband with other women?â
âIâ¦!â Sasha almost cursed out loud, but Mila signaled her to keep quiet. They represented the
Thompson family when out in public.
They had to keep in mind the consequences of their every action, as it
could cause trouble for Wyatt and Asher.
âSasha, letâs go. Donât stoop to their level,â Mila turned around, pulling
Sasha toward the car.
The middle-aged journalist started to sneer. âAfter all, Madam Celeste
was once the leading actress in the entertainment industry. She st

Before he finished speaking, he saw a blur in front of him!
Everyone was shocked!
No one saw how Bella appeared out of nowhere. She arrived like
lightning bolt and stood in front of her family.
The male journalist got a clear view of Bellaâs stunning face and was
deeply stunned. âSheâs so beautiful. How could there be such a
beautiful woman in the world?â
He had seen many charming actresses and celebrities in his career in
the entertainment industry. But he had never seen a woman as
beautiful as Bella. She was the definition of a femme fatale.
âSo, youâre the one insulting Aunt Celeste. Your mouth is full of shit.â Bella smiled coldly. Not waiting for
him to reply, she grabbed his
collar and raised her other hand high.
In front of all the reporters, she ruthlessly delivered a resounding slap
across the manâs face.
Everyone was stunned, including the Thompsons.
âBellaâ¦â Amelia froze. At this moment, her admiration for Bella
skyrocketed.
âDamn! Youâre awesome, Bella!â Sasha applauded fervently. She wanted to rush over and give him a
piece of her mind too, but Mila quickly hugged her tightly.
âYou⦠How dare you hit me? How dare you publicly assault
someone!â The man held his stinging face and stared at Bella in
panic.
