âYes, of course!â Amelia replied.
âThen Iâll go with Ms. Bella.â Stevenâs smile was warm, like a boy next door.
Steven watched Bella and Amelia grow up. He still had a vivid memory of Amelia when she was six or
seven years old. Back then, Amelia followed Bella everywhere with a lollipop in her mouth and snot
flowing out of her nose.
Bella did not think much of Ameliaâs reaction because Amelia was shy and blushed easily. Ameliaâs
skin was also clear and rosy all the time.
What Bella did not know was that Amelia had been crushing on Steven for seven years.
âLetâs go! Iâm hungry. Iâve been craving Aunt Celesteâs cooking for many days. Letâs feast!â Bella held
her sisterâs delicate hand and walked into the villa.
âMy mom is still cooking. You arrived too early, so dinnerâs not ready yet.â Amelia shook her sisterâs
arm, just like she did when she was a child.
âOh, no! But Iâm starving!â Bellaâs stomach growled.
âMs. Bella, why donât you have a snack first?â
Steven smiled dotingly and took out a piece of chocolate from his suit pocket. He tore open the
wrapper and put the chocolate to Bellaâs lips.
Bella naturally turned her head, parted her lips slightly, and took a bite.
Seeing how close and natural Bella and Steven were, Amelia felt a little jealous. She pursed her pink
lips and tried to suppress the bitterness in her heart.
Amelia knew that Steven had always liked Bella. She had noticed it since she was very young.
Steven would rather ditch a promising career in law like his brother and father just so he could stay with
Bella. Even if there was not much career growth, Steven willingly became Bellaâs personal
secretary.
Thus, Steven had never noticed Amelia.
Everyone was in a great mood that night because Bella finalized the divorce with Justin and cut off all
ties with the Salvador family. It was also because Amelia took the time to return to Hatchbay, so the
house was livelier than usual.
It had been a long time since the servants had seen the Thompson sisters laughing like this. They
were all glad to see the sisters together again.
It was just a pity that Wyattâs sixth daughter, Camilla, was married off to a distant country. Camillaâs
husband was also in the running for the presidency of Sentania at the moment, so they were too busy
to come back for a visit. Otherwise, the three Thompson sisters together would make such a nostalgic
and beautiful sight.
Celeste and the maids brought out all kinds of delicacies to the dining table. They looked appetizing
and scrumptious.
It was a pity that Bella could only stare at the food and not eat it yet because Wyatt called everyone to
the living room for an impromptu family meeting.
Asher, Axel, Amelia, Mila, Sasha, and Celeste, who was still wearing an apron, were all gathered there.
Wyatt sat in the middle of the sofa with a cold and stern expression, giving off the oppressive vibe of a
formidable tycoon.
âDad, if you have something to say, canât you say it after weâre done eating? Everyone is hungry!â Bella
swallowed her saliva as she could smell the aroma of the food coming from the dining table.
âYou still have the cheek to say this when youâve caused such a mess?!â Wyatt sneered.
âOh, Lord! Arenât I divorced now? We got to have a drink later to celebrate!â Bella grinned.
Everyone looked calm. Only Amelia, who was still clueless about Bellaâs marriage and divorce, gasped
in shock and widened her beautiful
eyes.
Amelia did not expect that Bella was already married and divorced.
Bella was excellent at everything and had never missed her target. What made Bella decide to get
married? It was not for love, right? Bella was not the emotional type who would do anything for love.
âYou didnât come home for three years because you were married to a bastard. You even ended up
losing both your dignity and wealth. That Salvador boy is about to marry someone else! Youâre my
daughter, so how can you let the Salvador family bully you?! Why didnât you bankrupt that family before
you came home?!â
Wyatt was so angry that he had barely slept a wink last night. The more he thought about it, the more
infuriated he became. He wanted to go to Salvador Corporation, grab Justin by the collar, and punch
him senseless.
âWyatt, I thought we were putting this past us.â
Bella sighed and suddenly lost her appetite. âGrandpa Nigel developed Salvador Corporation to where
it is now. It was his life-long effort, so how could I bankrupt them? Do you want your daughter to be
ungrateful?â
âIâd rather you be the ungrateful kid that I had to clean up after than let you be bullied by outsiders!
Youâve suffered for three years!â Wyatt finally roared out his feelings. His neck was tense, and his
eyes were red.
Everyone was stunned.
Asher lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, while Axel looked at his sister worriedly.
Bellaâs lowered eyelashes fluttered slightly. Her nose was tingling, and her eyes were sore.
She knew how much Wyatt loved her. It was because Wyatt loved her so much that she did not dare
tell him about her marriage to Justin.
However, this seemed to have backfired.
âMila, I heard from the Salvadors that you and Bella met in public. Did you know about Bellaâs and
Justinâs marriage early on?â Wyatt looked at Mila disapprovingly.
Mila lowered her eyelids and answered frankly, âYes, I found out a long time ago.â
