Chapter 285
Bella yawned tiredly and said, “Memphis must harbor resentment towards me and
Rosalind, given his captivity.”.
She continued, “But if I show him a little kindness while he’s on the brink of mental
collapse, I’m confident he’ll be profoundly grateful to me and channel his hatred towards
Rosalind. At that point, he’ll put all his energy into seeking revenge against her.”
Steven complimented, “Ms. Bella, you’re so intelligent.” He added, “I can’t wait to see
them fight!”
A week later.
Bella finished a thorough inspection of the restaurant and returned to her office, feeling
satisfied. It had been almost six months since she took over the hotel, and every aspect of
the business was thriving with an increase in profits.
During the recent evaluation, the hotel not only successfully retained its star rating but
was also awarded the title of “Most Popular Hotel of the Year.”
Bella, however, had her sights set higher. She aspired to win the prestigious “Best Hotel of
the Year” title, which had been held by the Salvador family for five consecutive years. With
Bella on board, the Thompson family had a chance to claim the coveted title and steal the
limelight.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBella surprised Steven by accepting interviews from three well-known media outlets and
making public appearances, which was quite different from her usual discreet approach.
She had her reasons for taking such bold actions. Bella realized that relying solely on
being Wyatt’s daughter would not earn the trust of everyone if she wanted to become the
CEO of KS Group.
In order to establish herself, she understood that she couldn’t remain a silent leader in the
shadows. She had to step forward into the limelight and showcase her achievements to
the people of KS Group.
When Wyatt entrusted her with the hotel’s management, it was akin to handing her a
ladder. Bella seized this opportunity and intended to make the most of it.
Bella achieved another significant victory in her pursuits. She was with Steven and about
to ask for another cup of coffee when she remembered that Steven had left to handle an
important matter. A week had passed, and with Rosalind’s birthday banquet approaching
in just two days, Steven had not yet returned.
Bella closed her eyes and lightly tapped her fingers on the table. She was confident that
her strategy was right on target. Therefore, she remained calm and patient.
Just then, Bella received a phone call. On the screen, she saw that it was her beloved
disciple, Roza Walker.
She quickly answered with a smile, “Roza, what delightful news do you have for me this
time?”
Roza greeted her on the phone, “Master!”
Roza spoke in a sweet and friendly tone, “I have baked some homemade pastries and
have the
finest tea ready for you. Would you like to drop by my place today for a treat?” She had
set aside her usual cold demeanor and opted for a gentler approach.
Bella saw through Roza’s scheme. “You want me to check out Rozabela’s new haute
couture designs again, don’t you?” she responded.
Roza playfully objected and said, “Come on, Master, don’t expose me!”
Bella offered Roza heartfelt encouragement, saying, “Your talents are exceptional! You no
longer need my guidance. You’ve become an inspiration to numerous aspiring designers
and have carved out a significant reputation in the fashion industry. Trust your instincts. If
I meddle too much, it might overshadow the essence of your work. Believe in yourself,
Roza!”
“Thank you, Master. Without you, I would not have achieved what I have today.” Roza
remained as humble as she was in her unknown days. Deep down inside, Bella remained
her inspiring role model.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRoza hesitated for a moment before she continued, “Master, actually, there’s something
else I need to share, but I’m afraid it might upset you.”
She added, “Just an hour ago, that bitch, Rosalind, showed up again, pestering me for
clothes. She had her eyes set on the silver off-the-shoulder dress hanging in the design
room. Honestly, she has no shame!”
Bella asked casually, “Did you give it to her?”
Roza’s voice softened. “Well, that’s why I am here to apologize to you, Master.
Bella reassured her, “I completely understand. Much like me, you do everything with a
purpose and reason. You have your own goals.”
Roza’s disdainful snort cut through the air as she recounted the scene. “That dress she
borrowed, a high-end design, mind you, is so last year-already out of fashion. And the fit?
Oh, it’s a disaster. The bust and waist measurements don’t suit her figure at all, but she
insisted on flaunting the dress anyway!”
A cold laugh escaped Roza’s lips. “I made it crystal clear to her that each haute couture
piece I create is unique and precious. She’s allowed to borrow, but if she dares to alter any
of my designs, even with a safety pin, I’ll make her compensate five times the price!”
Bella chuckled, her eyes slightly narrowed. “Won’t there be issues with wearing such an ill-
fitting dress?”
Roza responded with a shrug. “Whether there’s an issue or not is not my concern. After all,
it’s Rosalind’s reputation at stake. Don’t you agree, Master?”
