Bella was not easy to mess with.
âListen up. From now on, Rosalind and I are enemies! If I go back on my word, Iâll be smashed to
pieces like this bracelet.â Bella gritted her teeth and slowly opened her palm.
Justin felt a little suffocated for a moment. He saw that her palms and the fragments of the jade
bracelet were bloody.
He knew that Bella liked the bracelet.
That was why she kept holding onto it, even if it was broken. She probably did not even notice that her
hand was injured.
Justin felt a fluctuation of emotions in his chest.
He stared deeply at Bellaâs face, which was full of resentment. His eyes were gloomy, and a crack
seemed to form in his heart.
âMs. Brown! Your hands are bleeding!â
Ryan shouted and rummaged through all his pockets, looking for a handkerchief or a tissue to help
bandage her wound.
However, Ryan could not find any.
Justin had a handkerchief in his breast pocket. He closed his eyelids and clenched his fingers, but he
found that he could not muster the courage to take it out and give it to her.
At this time, a faint fragrance floated by when a graceful figure in a dark green dress that was made of
a luxurious material passed by.
Bella was stunned. At this moment, Mila had walked up to Bella, picked up the broken jade pieces in
Bellaâs palm, and put them into Bellaâs suit pocket. She then carefully bandaged Bellaâs wounds with
a white handkerchief.
âAunt Milaâ¦â
There were tears in Bellaâs eyes. Bella almost called out Milaâs name, but she bit her lip and held back.
âItâs a pity that such a beautiful hand is wounded.â Mila remained calm, but she was in fact so furious
that she wanted to rip the Salvador family apart.
âLong time no see, Mrs. Thompson. Youâre getting more beautiful with time!â
Shannonâs expression changed instantly. She hurriedly greeted Mila and pretended to be familiar
with her.
âHow are you, Mrs. Thompson?â Jean also greeted Mila with a smile and had a flattering attitude.
After all, after Wyatt Thompsonâs first wife passed away, the outside world believed that Mila, as
Wyattâs second mistress, became his legitimate wife. Thus, most people tried to curry favor with her.
Moreover, Mila was the youngest daughter of the Larson family. Even if she cut off ties with her family
to be with Wyatt, she was still a wealthy lady of noble birth. Jean and Shannon could not hold a
candle to her.
âMrs. Salvador.â
Mila did not want to talk to anyone at first. But she had to show a bit of respect to Gregory Salvadorâs
wife to avoid conflict.
Mila treated Jean as an invisible person and did not greet her.
Jeanâs expression froze in embarrassment because Mila did not acknowledge her.
âMrs. Thompson, do you know Ms. Brown? Ms. Brown came to the auction in place of Mr. Thompson.
She spent an impressive amount of money too, so Iâm sure you noticed her.â
Shannon saw that Mila was particularly concerned about Bella, so she had some doubts in her heart.
She did not know the depth of their relationship and decided to test Milaâs reaction.
âOf course, I know her. Asher invited her here.â ]}
Mila knew that Shannon had bad intentions. So she gave an ambiguous answer to see how Shannon
would react.
âThen you must not know Ms. Brown well enough, right?â
âDo I need to understand her well?â Milaâs smile did not reach her
âI think itâs necessary.â
eyes.
Shannon smiled and said, âMs. Brown will soon become the wife of KS Groupâs CEO. Sheâll be your
family then.â
âOh? Is Ms. Brown Asherâs girlfriend?â Mila raised an eyebrow.
âYeah. When Ms. Brown and Justin got divorced, she left the house in Mr. Thompsonâs car. Sigh⦠I
was worried about her at the time. After all, sheâs just a country girl who doesnât have any family in
Richworth. What would happen to her if she left Justin? But I felt relieved when I saw that Mr.
Thompson would take care of her.â Shannon looked at Bella with a smile.
Mila narrowed her clear eyes, and the air around her turned colder.
