The entire venue fell silent for a moment, followed by explosive gasps.
âAlexa⦠Bella is Alexa?â Justin experienced a brief buzz in his head before going completely blank for
several seconds. It was as if even his soul had left his body, leaving him feeling weak from head to toe.
âBella is Alexa!â Justin thought to himself. âShe is the illustrious jewelry designer who is highly regarded.
So she had spent the entire time watching me embarrass myself. She must have been overjoyed,
secretly laughing at my efforts to meet Alexa, only to be rejected.â
Justin was completely taken aback. His lips trembled, and his breath was heavy. His eyes turned an
unimaginably intense shade of red. He could not decide whether he was more angry or shocked.
âBella, you deceived me again. You actually deceived me again!â
She clearly had an unparalleled talent, but she had kept it hidden from him for the entire three years of
their marriage. She played the role of a housewife who toiled at home without displaying any of her
talent or brilliance.
âWhy would she degrade herself in this manner? Was she making fun of my ignorance in some twisted
way?â Justin clenched his teeth, and the pressure caused his molars to ache. His heart throbbed faintly,
prompting him to raise a hand instinctively to cover the area around his heart. Is it amusing to toy with
me like this, Bella? How did you expect me to fall in love with you when you have never been honest
with me?â
âAlexa?! The heiress of KS Group is Alexa?! This is truly sensational news!â
âCould it be a lie?â
âDiamond necklaces can be faked, but can her identity be faked?
Besides, Sliva is here to confirm her identity!â
Even those who normally maintain dignified facades could care less about appearing sophisticated at
this time. Everyone took out their phones and took pictures of Bella like paparazzi!
Given that Alexa was looking this hot and stunning, it would be a shame not to take a few pictures to
show off later. Otherwise, tonight would be a complete waste!
Christopher calmly observed the crowd that had gathered around. Bella. She was like the moon,
surrounded by many stars. He casually adjusted his glasses, and his smiling eyes revealed a hint of
indulgence and playfulness.
No other woman could excite him as much as Bella. She was the only one who made him realize that
the existence of love was not as dull and silly as he had previously assumed.
The scene became somewhat chaotic. In their eagerness to get closer to the spectacle, everyone
crammed closer and closer to Bella.
Seeing the situation, Christopher was worried for Bellaâs safety if it continued. He stood up, intending to
walk over and help her break free.
A cold gust of wind swept past him out of nowhere. Christopherâs eyes widened as he noticed Justin
rushing over with quick strides,
pushing his way through the crowd. He clenched his fists in frustration. His gaze was piercing, and he
yearned to rip Justin apart.
Bella was taken aback when Justin suddenly assumed the role of her protector, standing in front of her
like a human shield. She couldnât help but ask, âWhat are you doing?â
âThere are too many people. Iâm afraid you might be in danger,â Justin replied without turning to face
her.
Bella scoffed with disdain. âSteve is close behind. Not to mention that my hotelâs security is excellent.
We can easily handle this minor situation. There is no need for you to be the hero here.â
âBella, you deceived me again,â Justin said slowly.
Justin shifted his gaze, his dark eyes intense. âDo you not have anything to say to me about your
deception?â he asked in a trembling voice that only they could hear.
Bella laughed with a mocking look in her eyes. âDoes it hurt to be deceived by me? Donât worry, youâll
slowly get used to it.â
Justin took a deep breath and let out a soft cough. She infuriated him.
The uproar sparked by Alexa did not die down until Steven dispatched a squad of bodyguards to
restore order.
âOMG, you are Alexa⦠How is this even possible?â Ada Wang walked toward Bella, her mouth
covered and her words incoherent. Tears streamed down her excited face.
âI did not conceal my identity on purpose. It is just that these titles do not mean much to me. I simply
enjoy making jewelry and do not want to be in the spotlight or draw too much attention.â Bella
maintained her usual gentle demeanor with Ada Wang. âI know you are a big fan, and I am honored to
have your and everyone elseâs affection.â
Such grace, such charm!
âIâm sorry, Ms. Thompson. No, Ms. Alexa. Please forgive my rudeness. earlier.â
Ada Wang was regretful. She wished she could go back in time and change her cold words and
dismissive attitude toward Bella! It is like missing the forest for the trees!
âI am both Alexa and the general manager of KS World Hotel. My dual identity cannot make up for the
breach of hotel confidentiality. So, I have never held it against you, and there is no need for you to
blame yourself.â
At that moment, Bella was about to reveal Shannon and Bethanyâs true colors.
âGodâs Tearsâ is one of Alexaâs relatively obscure private works and has rarely been publicly exhibited.
Besides Alexa, no one in the world. possesses it.â Slivaâs sharp gaze was fixed on Bethany. âSo,
without a doubt, the one Ms. Salvador gave to Ms. Ada is a counterfeit.â
Sliva added, âDaring to replicate works by Alexa is a serious infringement on Alexaâs reputation and
creative rights. Alexa ensures that each of her pieces is insured for a high value. You are not legally
inept, Ms. Salvador. You should be well aware of the potential consequences and penalties, right?â
