The smile on Cameronâs face stiffened, on the verge of cracking.
The siblings entered her office.
As soon as the door closed, Bella sneered, crossing her arms as she sat down on the couch..
âCecily, that damned brat. I havenât even officially joined the group and she already canât wait to cause
trouble for me. Sheâs restless but stupid.â
Asher poured a glass of water and handed it to Bella. He sighed helplessly. âIn kindergarten, you
competed for stellar stars. In elementary school, you competed for the leading role in school plays. She
proclaimed herself your rival, but she has never won against you. If I were her, Iâd give up long ago, but
her fighting spirit increases the more she loses.â
âIâve always been better than her since we were kids. Does she think she could beat me now that weâve
grown up?â
Bella drank some water as her gaze darkened. âTimes are different now. If she dares to hurt my
interests, I will not care about any blood or family ties.â
âOf course you wonât. You always refuse to suffer any losses.â
Asher sat beside Bella and held her shoulder, muttering, âWhen you officially start working, you will
realize that itâs another battlefield
here, with a difficulty level ten times that of KS World Hotel. You must be careful before doing anything,
especially toward Uncle Cameron. He has people on his side in the group, and Dad has been indulging
him because he is Dadâs only brother. When you go up against Uncle Cameron, you need to be
cautious and always have a backup plan.â
âI understand.â
Bellaâs gaze deepened. âIf they know their place and behave
themselves, I wonât mistreat them. Everyone will be happy. But if they have ulterior motives, they
should not blame me for being ruthless and destroying decades of their reputation.â
Asher narrowed his eyes. âBella, youâre quite confident. Donât forget that Uncle Cameron is the vice
chairman.â
Bella arrogantly raised her chin. âSo what? My dad is the chairman. Iâm not afraid of him!â
âOh, right. Have you told Justin about you leaving the KS World Hotel?â Asher suddenly asked.
Bella blinked and pursed her lips. âWhy should I tell him? Is he anybody to me?â
Asher was stunned for a moment. He smiled bitterly. âThatâs true.â
At this moment, Bellaâs phone vibrated. Her heart tightened. Speak of the devil! Could it be that rascal?
She took out her phone and found Christopherâs name on the screen instead.
Asher discreetly looked at her phone screen and frowned. He would rather it be Justin than
Christopher.
726.
âChris?â Bella took the call with a calm voice.
âBella, Iâm in Hatchbay now.â
Over the phone, Christopherâs voice sounded gentle and affectionate.
Bella could faintly hear the unique sound of the sea breeze in the background. âYou must be in
Hatchbay too. Are you free? Iâd like to meet you.â
Bella looked at her watch and was a little surprised. âNow?â
âItâs okay if itâs not convenient. I can wait for you, no matter how long.â
