Chapter 437
“What on earth are you talking about?” Justin raised an eyebrow, only feeling that she was
unreasonable.
“I want you to stay away from me. I don’t need you to be nice to me. Not even a single
bit.”
Bella endured the pain in her stomach as she stood up, her face pale.” Is it because
Rosalind Gold has left you and your excessive passion has nowhere to go now? I’m not a
garbage bin, so don’t settle for second best here. You might be willing to humble yourself,
but I’m not willing to lower my standards!”
Justin clenched his fist tightly, the great humiliation and indignance making his eyes
redden.
He only wanted to give her a cupcake because he saw that she was hungry and in pain.
He wanted to ease her hunger. How could she demonize him and verbally attack him with
such hateful words?
Bella put on her high heels, straightened her back, and stormed off.
Justin picked up the cupcake, watching her heartless back go, almost
unable to catch his breath.
The Bella of today would no longer smile at him like a blooming flower.
Their failed marriage was a deeply painful memory for her.
It made her seem like a soldier who had a near-death experience on the battlefield, which
left her with post-traumatic stress disorder. If he

were even a little bit nice to her, she would resist it wholeheartedly
with suspicion.
Justin’s thin lips trembled as he endured the intense pain in his heart,
crushing the cupcake further in his palm.
A perfectly fine person and a perfectly fine relationship.
It seemed he had ruined it all.
In the hall, there was still some time before the auction started. Alice
and Ada Wang were the two giants from the fashion and entertainment industries,
respectively, present tonight. Thus, they
were the stars of the event. The media constantly followed them
around to interview them.
Shannon had gone to chat with and establish connections with the
other rich wives, while Bethany and Zoe both had their own plans.
Bethany wanted to take a photo with Ada Wang and receive another
wave of questions from the reporters. After all, she was the one who
managed to seal the deal, so she hoped she could publicize this to show off her capability.
Zoe, on the other hand, wanted to get a photo with Alice to increase.
her own trendiness, which would be beneficial to her future career in the fashion industry.
“Ms. Ada! I didn’t expect you to wear this necklace to the auction today. It looks like you
really like it!”
Bethany saw that Ada Wang was wearing the necklace she gave her
tonight, so she used this as an excuse to start a conversation.

The reporters surrounded the two, the lights of their cameras flashing
nonstop.
“Of course, I like it very much. This is Alexa’s work, after all.”
Although Ada Wang did not like Bethany’s superficial personality,
Bethany had given her the necklace. Plus, Salvador Corporation was
her wedding organizer, so she could not be too cold to Bethany.
Thus, Ada put an arm around Bethany’s waist and generously took a
photo with her.
When Bethany saw that the international superstar’s attitude had
softened toward her and even pulled her closer, she was elated!
“Ms. Ada! Do you plan to bid on an item as your contribution to the charity, or do you plan
on donating an item to be auctioned off at tonight’s charity auction?” The reporter asked.
“Tonight, I plan to donate a piece of jewelry as my contribution to the charity,” Ada Wang
replied with a polite smile.
“Oh? Is it a precious piece of jewelry? Could you tell us more about it?”
“That’s a secret. You’ll know when the time comes.”
Elsewhere, Zoe was looking for an opportunity to approach Alice.
She waited until Alice finally finished her interview and mustered her courage, quickly
stepping forward to greet her.
“Ms. Alice! Please wait!”
Alice stopped in her tracks

Naturally, Alice did not recognize Zoe, who was wearing an evening. dress that was in a
style and color that did not suit her at all, despite it being from this year’s fall/winter
couture collection. Alice felt that Zoe was a person with mediocre taste who only looked at
the price tag and did not consider if the outfit was right for her. Thus, Alice felt even less
like interacting with her.
“Ms. Alice, I grew up reading Mint magazines. I’m a loyal fan!” Zoe’s
round little face blushed as she poured her heart out to Alice.
“Grew up? Ha. Am I that old?” Alice smiled perfunctorily.
“N-no! You’re not old at all!”
Zoe was so embarrassed that she was sweating. She hurriedly
explained, “What I meant is that I really admire you! I really like you! I-
Can I-”
But before she could finish speaking, she saw Alice brush past her
hurriedly without even giving her a single glance!
“M-Ms. Alice!”
Zoe picked up her dress and hurriedly turned around. In the next
moment, her eyes widened, and she paled.
“Ms. Thompson! I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
Alice smiled and walked towards Bella excitedly.
It looked as if they were close friends who had known each other for
years.
