Chapter 643: Chapter 643

At exactly 7:00 p.m., the KS World Hotel was bustling and

extraordinarily lively.

It was a world of difference compared to the quietness on Shannon’s

side.

Outside the hotel, luxury cars abound.

The guests were all from wealthy families or dignitaries. Each one of them was well-dressed and

adorned with exquisite jewelry. They were all wealthy men and women with a net worth of billions of

dollars.

At Celeste’s request, Wyatt held the birthday party in a very low-key

manner.

Despite that, the prestige of the Thompson family was on full display.

They had a growing interest in expanding their business to Savrow. With that in mind, who in the

business world would not reach out to Wyatt Thompson? Besides, this tycoon also had an eligible

daughter who had been shining brightly recently.

Mila and Sasha chose not to make an appearance downstairs to

avoid overshadowing Celeste tonight.

Instead, they entertained their long-time friends upstairs.

They did not feel neglected, but were rather secretly pleased to have this rare moment of relaxation.

As Celeste’s only daughter, Amelia naturally could not be idle and

helped her sister, Bella, greet the guests outside the venue.

Amelia wore a pale yellow chiffon evening gown, personally selected by Bella.

Her slender, fair legs were subtly revealed under the pale yellow skirt. She looked like the female lead

in a romance novel.

Amelia was grateful to her sister, knowing the amount of effort put into dressing her up.

However, she still felt that she could not match up to Bella.

Bella wore a simple and elegant black floor-length evening dress that modestly revealed her shoulders.

Despite not putting in much effort, Bella looked stunning in her tastefully chosen dress.

Amelia stole a glance at Bella and found herself captivated. Amelia found her sister far more

enchanting.

“Amelia? Is there something on my face?” Bella blinked her almond- shaped eyes, looking at her dazed

younger sister.

“No… Nothing.” Amelia blushed inexplicably.

“Then, are you tired? The birthday banquet is still a while away. I’ll get you a room upstairs, and you

can rest first.”

“No need, Bella. I’m not tired.” Amelia quickly shook her head.

“Ms. Bella, the Iversons are here.” Steven, who had been handling the guests outside, hurriedly came

in. Sweat beaded on his forehead.

Seeing this, Amelia quickly took out a handkerchief from her evening bag.

She pursed her lips in hesitation and held the handkerchief tightly in her hands. She did not dare step

forward to give it to him.

“Steve, look at how busy you are. You’re sweating so much!” Bella pursed her lips thoughtfully.

Her slender, jade-like hand clasped Amelia’s slender waist and

pushed her forward. “Amelia, you have a handkerchief here. Go ahead and wipe Steve’s sweat.”

Both Steven and Amelia were taken aback, and both their cheeks

were flushed with a hint of embarrassment.

Twisting the handkerchief in her hand, Amelia awkwardly shuffled

over to Steven.

Summoning her courage, Amelia raised her hand and was about to wipe the sweat off for him.

However, Steven snatched the handkerchief away and hastily wiped the sweat from his forehead. His

heart was racing as he said, “No need, Ms. Amelia. Thank you.”

“It’s nothing.” Amelia bit her pink lips and felt waves of disappointment in her heart.

“Sorry for soiling your handkerchief. I’ll buy you a new one later.” Steve said, embarrassed, as he

tucked her handkerchief away.

“No need. You can keep it as a gift.” Amelia dryly quipped.

Watching their interaction, Bella became increasingly sure that something was going on between the

two of them.

At this moment, the Iversons made their entrance to the venue, looking noble.

Of Lance Iverson’s four children, three of them promised they would come. The only exception was

Lance’s daughter, Astrid, who was overseas and had not returned. But there was no sign of

Christopher.

James Iverson walked in with his wife, Coral, and was followed

closely by Charles Iverson.

Seeing James, Bella’s beautiful eyes could not help but cloud over with gloom.

“Bella, long time, no see.” Charles’s eyes lit up when he saw Bella. Unlike his usually proud demeanor,

he showed abnormal enthusiasm toward the young lady.

Bella smiled politely and said, “We met the last time you came to our house. It’s not been long since we

last saw each other. But it seems like it’s been a while since you’ve seen my sister, Amelia.”

She could see that Charles was very attentive to her. This was acceptable. After all, who would not like

such a perfect woman? But she could not stand the fact that her equally noble sister, Amelia, was

being ignored and treated as if she were invisible.

Charles was momentarily embarrassed because he did not recognize Amelia.

“Hello, Mr. Charles.” Amelia did not take it to heart, smiling gently.

James’s face remained expressionless. He glanced lightly at Amelia and Steven and smiled faintly.

“Charles, you are too straightforward. You usually handle things very thoroughly. But as soon as you

see

Chap 643

Ms. Bella, you only have eyes for her. That’s quite rude. Why don’t you quickly apologize to Ms.

Amelia?”

“It was my mistake. Haha. I’m sorry, Ms. Amelia.” Charles bowed to Amelia in apology.

Amelia smiled faintly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please enter the venue. Steve, please lead our

guests inside.” Bella instructed with a smile.

“Yes, Ms. Bella.”

A short while after the Iversons left, Steven hurried back to Bella’s

side and whispered, “Ms. Bella, may have a word with you?”

Bella and Steven went to a quiet corridor.

“Ms. Bella, James’ mistress, who bullied Ms. Amelia, came to the banquet. She even has an invitation

and is already inside the venue!” Steven’s brows were furrowed, and he asked in a deep voice, “Should

I send someone to kick her out now?”

“Kick her out? Why bother? She has an invitation. Doing that would make us look bad.” Bella leaned

against the wall. She crossed her beautiful, slender arms, making her look like an exquisitely crafted

sculpture.

“How strange! I’ve carefully checked every invitation sent out. I made sure everyone received only one

invitation, without mistake. How could that woman possibly have an invitation?” Steven was full of

doubt.

“Ah, because her invitation is from me.”

Steven gasped and said, “Ms. Bella, what did you say?”

“I said, I invited Mandy to the banquet.”

Bella spoke with a sly smile. Her mischievous eyes made her seem.

like a cunning fox. “There’s no better time than tonight to stand up for my sister.”
