Chapter 135
The Rolls-Royce drove into Yara Park’s antique and majestic gate.
From the moment they entered the compound, the servants happily ran around, spreading
the news of their arrival.
“Ms. Bella is back!”
As soon as Bella and Asher got out of the car, the butler Finley and several servants lined
up on both sides of the entryway and bowed respectfully to greet them.
“Welcome home, Ms. Bella!”
“Ms. Bella, may you live a long and healthy life!”
Bella touched her forehead and thought, ‘I wish I could be immortal!’
“Bella! You’re finally back! We miss you so much!”
Bella looked over and saw Wyatt’s second wife, Mila, and another woman with shoulder-
length hair who was wearing a purple satin shirt with a bow silk scarf at the neckline and
black wide-leg pants. She was as tall and slim as a supermodel as she ran toward Bella.
That woman was Wyatt’s fourth and youngest wife, Sasha Jenkins.
“Aunt Mila, Aunt Sasha.”
Bella smiled brightly and stepped forward to hug them.
Asher smiled when he saw this scene. He had mixed feelings in his heart.
The Thompson family was the wealthiest and most prestigious family in Hatchbay.

Every time Wyatt brought in a new mistress, it turned the family upside down, especially
with Sasha, who was only eight years older than Asher.
It was precisely because of this that Bella followed Drew’s example and left home. She
joined Doctors Without Borders and wandered around the world for a long time.
Later, the sincerity of Wyatt’s three wives moved Bella and warmed up her cold heart little
by little. Asher also told Bella a lot of stories about their three stepmothers. That was how
Bella finally got over her grudge and no longer resented them.
Besides, even if Bella wanted to blame someone, she would blame Wyatt.
“Bella, you’ve lost weight…”
Sasha was a martial artist. She was straightforward and spoke her mind. She blamed
Asher for neglecting Bella. “Asher, if you are too busy to spare time to take care of Bella,
just say so and send Bella home. We’ll take care of her! You said you’d feed her like a pig,
but she looks more like a
greyhound now! This isn’t right. You broke your promise!”
Asher did not know if he should laugh or cry. “Alright, it’s my fault. I’m sorry, Aunt Sasha.”
“Aunt Sasha, you know that I have a fast metabolism, so I eat a lot but don’t gain weight.”
Bella and Sasha were enemies in the past, but they are more like sisters now. “Ash took
care of me and even gave me his chief secretary, Steven. You all know how good Steve’s
cooking is. He can have a dozen ways to cook a fish. I’m well taken care of, so don’t
worry.”
“Hmph! I don’t believe it!”
Sasha snorted and gently pinched Bella’s thin face. “Can Steve be better at cooking than
Celeste? Your Aunt Celeste started preparing the ingredients last night when she heard
that you were coming home. She’s been in the kitchen all day today, and she didn’t even
bother to drink a sip of water. Wyatt said that the way Celeste is preparing for your arrival
is like hosting a banquet for the country’s president. Her standards are probably higher
than that!”
“I told Aunt Celeste to keep it simple. It’s just a family dinner, so what’s important is the
people.”
“We both offered to help, but she said she couldn’t trust anyone’s cooking and insisted on
doing it herself.”
Mila sighed softly and said with a smile, “Celeste may seem gentle, but she can be really
stubborn at times.”
“I think that Aunt Celeste just can’t trust Aunt Sasha…”
Bella burst out laughing. “After all, Aunt Sasha burned the pot four times, set off the fire
alarm three times, and blew up the stove twice. That’s why Aunt Celeste no longer dares
to let Aunt Sasha appear in the kitchen.”
“Hey, stop picking on me! I thought we were friends!” Sasha raised her eyebrows and
reached out to
tickle Bella.
“Yes, yes, we are!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey were like best friends, teasing each other.
When Bella thought of Wyatt’s third wife, Celeste, she thought of the time she was living
with Justin’s family.
During those three years, Bella walked on eggshells, fearing that Justin would hate her if
she did something wrong. She did not want the Salvador family to complain about her.
After only three years, Bella felt as if she had become a different person. How did Celeste
survive these twenty years?
Bella thought, ‘Women really shouldn’t humble themselves for men. We should be
independent, strong, and beautiful. We shouldn’t be confined to a mediocre life in a nice
house because that would be such a pity.’

Bella’s stepmothers held Bella’s arm and led her into the villa.
The night was cool and quiet.
Justin’s Maybach was parked outside Yara Park in the dark.
Ian opened the car door for Justin, who stepped out and looked toward the Thompson
family’s residence.
“I’ve long heard that Chairman Thompson was fond of classical architecture and had
bought dozens of mansions across the country. Now that I’m here, I can see that it’s not a
rumor.”
Ian looked at the intricate classical buildings in Yara Park and exclaimed, “This place is like
a palace. It’s so magnificent that even Tideview Manor can’t compare to this.”
