Bella was a cultured and sophisticated young lady. She had been pampered by the Thompson family,
so she never had to use such means to get her way.
After marrying and divorcing Justin, she had all sorts of schemes brewing in her mind.
Bella recalled the way Justinâs eyes shattered when âThe Flaming Heartâ was brought on the stage. At
that moment, she felt that she had gone too far.
She could have pretended not to see the necklace. There was no need to publicly humiliate Justin to
such an extent by putting it up for auction.
However, Bella was indignant and petty.
She was not indignant about the divorce. She resigned herself to her fate, knowing that the love she
had been pursuing for thirteen years was gone.
It just irked her that such a smart man as Justin could not see through the fact that the person he loved
was a vile woman.
âIâve gone overboard. I wonât do this again.â
Bella felt a pain in her heart and smiled bitterly.
This was the last time she would get involved in Justin and Rosalindâs relationship.
Suddenly, the bathroom door was kicked open.
Bella did not panic. She just glanced over coldly.
Rosalind was seen grabbing her cumbersome dress as she rushed to Bella angrily.
âAnna! You bitch!â
âYouâve been scolding me for more than three years, but your vocabulary hasnât expanded one bit.â
Bella raised her eyebrows in derision and was not at all offended.
âIt must be you! You were the one who put the necklace that Justin gave me on auction! Why are you
so despicable and underhanded?!â
Rosalind took another step forward, but stepped on her dress and almost fell. She was so embarrassed
that her face turned red, and she forgot about getting revenge momentarily.
âIâm just donating things to charity. What tricks do you mean? Ms. Gold, please donât slander me.â
Bella took a step back, fearing that Rosalind would pounce and bite her.
If that happened, Bella would have had to get a rabies shot.
âAnna! You didnât get Justinâs love, so you used this despicable way to humiliate me and Justin. You
want to sow discord between us! Do you think you will win like this? Do you think that you can get
between me and Justin so that Justin will fall in love with you?! Dream on!â
Rosalind stared at Bella. Her eyes were red as she gritted her teeth with hatred.
âYou were the one who gave up the necklace by selling it to the pawn shop, so itâs no longer yours. You
have no control over who buys it or what happens to it. If youâre angry about it, you have no one else to
blame but yourself.â
Bella looked away and turned to leave. She did not bother to waste her breath on Rosalind.
If it were not for Justin forcing their lives to intersect, Bella would not have taken a second look at such
a pretentious woman.
âStupid bitch! Get back here!â
Rosalindâs blood surged to her head. She grabbed Bellaâs slender wrist and pulled hard.
Bella winced and frowned at the pain.
Rosalind managed to take off the jade bracelet that Nigel gave her, leaving a glaring red mark on her
fair and delicate wrist.
âGive it back to me!â Bella was infuriated. Her almond-shaped eyes turned sharp.
Rosalind clutched the bracelet tightly in her hand. She fell in love with this bracelet the first time she
saw it, but that old man gave it to the person she hated the most.
âAnna, you took what belongs to me. You shameless little whore! Since I canât get this, then you canât
keep it either!â
Rosalind smiled viciously and slammed the jade bracelet against the marble sink.
âNo!â
Clink-!
The crisp sound made Bellaâs heart ache.
The jade bracelet that Nigel gave her was broken into three pieces.
