“She’s an heiress of the KS Group. Surely, she knows the rules of the
trade.”
“Duh, of course, she does. She’s probably trying to take advantage of
the situation. Gee, the lengths businesswomen go to get a leg up in
the industry. For all we know, she might have used underhanded
methods to beat Mr. Salvador and gain Ada’s trust.”
“Tsk, tsk. I was impressed with Ms. Thompson, but she turned out to be shameless and
despicable.”
Zoe smirked, knowing she had won this round. ‘You’re one cocky
bitch, Bella. I’ll show you your place today. The best way to take you down a notch is to
make people question your integrity.”

Salvador’s face melt the Antarctic iceberg? Sigh… It’s a shame that
Young Madam could not witness it.”
Public opinion was swaying on the other end of the room.
Bella’s choice of jewelry started a stir, as promoting another business during a brand
event was disgraceful and against the rules.
Hiding behind Zoe, Bethany took delight in Bella’s unfortunate
situation.
Bella observed with a calm expression as Zoe stirred the pot. Her unperturbed gaze did

of Desire.”
Vincent cocked his head. A flicker of light dancing on Bella’s left rose
