Seeing Bellaâs fury, Zoe lit up with excitement and laughed maniacally.
Zoe prodded her own cheek with her fingertips and said, âGo on, hit
me! You must be so angry right now that you want to kill me. Come
on! Just do it!â
Bella clenched her fists so hard that her fingernails were digging into
her skin. But she was fully aware that she couldnât lay her hands on
Zoe.
Zoe was clearly trying to provoke Bella. If she lashed out, it would
only make things worse.
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound.
Bella looked on in shock as Zoe suddenly raised her hand and
slapped herself with great force. The slap was strong enough to
make her cheeks swell, and it ruined her neatly styled hair bun.
Zoe then smiled sinisterly as she burst through the closed doo

and pitiful manner.
Outside the door, there was a crowd of media, guests, and staff. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Zoe and Bella, who were

âAre Ms. Hoffman and Ms. Thompson arguing? | wonder what they
are arguing about.â
âWhat else could it be? Theyâre probably arguing over a man!â
âCould it be about Mr. Salvador? Wow, he sure is popular. These young ladies are fighting over him!â
âIt seems like Ms. Thompson made the first move, and she really went all out. Ms. Hoffmanâs face looks so swollen, like itâs been.
bashed.â
âThis isnât good for either of them. Both are well-regarded and hold influential positions. No matter how upset they are, they
shouldnât have to resort to violence. Ms. Thompsonâs action definitely
damaged her reputation.â
The guests kept on gossiping, with everyone blaming Bella. She was seen as the villain and criticized for her lack of decency.
In the meantime, eager journalists also hurried over with their
cameras to capture Zoe as the center of attention.
Zoe, trembling like a skilled actress, had tears rolling down her face
as she gazed expressionlessly at Bella. In a choked voice, she
accused, âBella, youâve crossed the line! Even if you have a prob with me because of Justin, Iâve never caused you any trouble
or
spoken ill of you. Why do you insist on opposing me and even physically hurting me?â
Zoe continued, âJust because your

Bella listened to the gossip with a smile instead of anger, her eyes filled with disdain, and her lips curled in a charming yet
unsettling
smile.
âSheâs laughing? Is she really laughing?â Zoe was momentarily puzzled, unable to even remember how to cry as her expression
remained frozen.
