Bethanyâs comment drew the attention of many.
That was quite the bombshell she dropped.
First, Bethany revealed that KS World was at fault for violating the contract with Ada.
Second, Bella was quick to host an event for Mint, likely a damage- control move after the breach of
contract with Ada to prove that the hotel was a popular destination for events.
Third, under Bellaâs leadership, KS World Hotel had failed to meet the customersâ needs and protect
their privacy. It was serious negligence on her part as the general manager.
Adaâs change in decision was proof that the Salvador Hotel was better than the KS World Hotel in
every way.
The press descended on Bella like a pack of wolves, snapping out questions with relentless intensity.
Bella knew that this was coming.
Bethany stirred the pot to use the media against her and the hotel.
Bella turned to Bethany and Shannon. Even the exquisite makeup could not hide the smug looks on
their faces.
They were such clowns..
Ada and Alice, the entertainment and fashion moguls, entered the venue together.
They saw Bella being ridiculed by Bethany and swarmed by the press.
Alice, looking chic and unapproachable in her sunglasses, looked at the unfazed Bella and nudged
Ada. âI think you shouldnât have given up the collaboration with Ms. Thompson.â
âWhy?â Ada asked with a raised brow.
âHer brother is an outstanding man, and Iâm not exaggerating. Asher is the most handsome man I have
ever seen in my entire life.â
Aliceâs eyes sparkled behind the black lens at the mention of Asher.â Heâs the man of my dreams.â
âWhat does her dreamboat brother have anything to do with my contract with Bella?â Ada looked
confused.
Alice replied earnestly, and her tone softened. âCanât you see it in your heart to give Ms. Thompson
another chance for my sake? She might be my sister-in-law some day.â
Ada was speechless. Was that supposed to be an emotional plea?
No one took notice of the second floor.
Justin stood still by the banister. His dark eyes were fixed on the scene happening downstairs.
With his burning gaze falling on Bellaâs composed face, he curled his lips with intrigue.
He knew that she would not go down so easily.
Bella never shied away from a fight.
âMr. Salvador, the young madam is mobbed by the press. These reporters will give her a bad name
without knowing the truth.â
lan looked down with worry. âCanât you figure something out to help the young madam?â
âNah.â
Justin turned aloof. âEven though Bella is being framed, I canât come forward and stand up for her. I
belong to Salvador Corporation, and my interference will make things messier than they already are.â
âI believe sheâs ready for it. I canât go out there and disrupt her plans.â
lan nodded understandingly. Bella doesnât go by the playbook. We best stay out of her way.â
Most importantly, Bella did not trust Justin. He would only get on her nerves by getting involved.
âI need you to do me two favors, lan.â Justinâs voice was husky.
âDo tell.â
