A lot of things happened lately, but today, the dust finally settled.
Bella triggered a butterfly effect by using Memphis to completely overturn the Gold Corporation.
Although Salvador Corporation was affected, Justin did not marry Rosalind yet, so many considered
him a victim in this relationship. He had just become a laughingstock.
In the general managerâs office, Bella played two rounds of video games while Steven peeled grapes
for her and reported on several important events.
âMr. Ralph said that Jean is about to go for her first trial. So far, no competent lawyer is willing to
defend her because the evidence is solid. No one wants to lose a case that cannot be overturned. Itâs
quite certain that sheâll be sentenced to 20 years in prison.â
Steven leaned down considerately and fed a juicy, peeled grape to Bella.
Bella swallowed it in one gulp, narrowed her cat eyes, and licked her red upper lip. âMmm! Itâs so
sweet!â
Steven could not help but smile. He thought that she was sweet.
âRalph shouldâve called me to tell me about these things in person. Why would he ask you to convey
them to me? Sighâ¦â Bella sighed helplessly, feeling a little frustrated.
Her seventh brother, Ralph, was similar to her youngest sister, Amelia. They were both considerate and
burdened by their identities.
Ralph was only three years older than Bella. He has cared for her as much as her four brothers
have since Bella was a child.
âMr. Ralph has an inferiority complex. He couldnât blatantly pamper you.â Steven was a bystander, so
he could clearly see the relationship between the Thompsons.
âRalph is overthinking it.â
Bella shook her head. âTo me, heâs the same as Asher, Axel, Drew, and Declan. I love them and
admire them the same.â
âBy the way, Memphis is now in lockup, so Mr. Axel and Mr. Ralph arrested several gang members
from the casinos and loan shark companies and locked them up with that scumbag.â
Steven gritted his teeth and looked cold. âMemphis can pay back what he owes them.â
Bella smiled and said, âTheyâre so thoughtful. Iâll cook a feast for them tomorrow as thanks!â
âAlso, I heard that the debt owed by the Gold family is almost paid off.â
Bellaâs finger stopped mid-air as she frowned slightly. âDid Justin help pay it back? Hah! How kind and
generous of him!
âItâs not Justin. Itâs Shannon.â
Bella pursed her lips and said nothing.
âThatâs strange. Rosalindâs reputation went down the drain, so sheâs of no use to Shannon
anymore. Shannon is not a kind person, so why would she clean up the mess for the Gold family?â
Steven asked, expressing his doubts.
âRosalind may not be of use anymore, but she probably has something on Shannon.â
Bella smirked. âTheyâve been in this act for so many years, so how could Rosalind be clueless about
Shannonâs dark past? As you said, Shannon is not a philanthropist, so she must have been
manipulated by Rosalind. Shannon had no choice but to help the Gold family fill this black hole.â
âHmph! She deserves it!â
Steven peeled another grape and put it to Bellaâs lips. âI heard that Rosalind paid the hospital bills and
left her father alone to go abroad to avoid the limelight. I think she wonât be coming back to Savrow
anytime soon. Rosalind did not even care about her poor daughter. Iâve done as you requested and
sent her to an orphanage in Savrow that KS Group has sponsored. The girl is living well in a new
environment, so you can rest assured.â
âWhat a pity.â Bella swallowed the grape.
âPity?â
âItâs a pity that Rosalind and Justin didnât get married. They are both selfish and cold-blooded people,
so they belong together.â
As soon as Bella quit the game, she found that a player named âRoseâ had sent a friend request. The
player was at quite a high level in the game.
Bella did not think much about it. After all, as the number one slayer in the game, âLuciferâ, she had
many friend requests every day. Since she liked roses, she added âRoseâ as a friend.
