Chapter 445
Bella bowed deeply and courteously towards the audience after she
finished saying that.
The hall slowly quietened.
“Secondly, I’d like to explain. I donated this piece of Alexa’s work called ‘God’s Tear’.”
Bella pursed her lips slightly.
Everyone was taken aback by this, and they all turned in unison to
look at Ada Wang.
Ada Wang was completely bewildered. Everyone surrounding her was
looking at her, but she could only turn her stunned gaze to Bethany
Salvador.
In turn, Bethany turned to look in Zoe Hoffman’s direction, only to find
her seat was empty!
Zoe had a bad feeling earlier, so she took advantage of the chaos and
left the scene.
Bella watched this ridiculous cycle coldly from her position on stage.
and her red lips could not help but curl up. “Ms. Ada, I did not know you were donating this
necklace tonight, so this is all truly a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcoincidence. Please do not misunderstand.”
“Ms. Thompson, why do you also have the ‘God’s Tear”?” Ada Wang’ confidence had been
instantly extinguished as she asked with a sti
expression.
Bella restrained her smile, and she frowned slightly. “Ms. Ada, the re
issue right now isn’t why I have this necklace, but rather the fact that your necklace is
fake.”
Everyone was deeply shocked by this statement.
Shannon managed to keep her calm, but Bethany was pale from the
fear that had risen due to Bella’s words.
“But that necklace was given to me by Bethany Salvador, the daughter
of Salvador Corporation’s chairman… How could it be fake?!” Ada
Wang was still having trouble accepting this fact.
If that necklace was fake, the way she had just made a big show of donating it like it was a
genuine article made her look dumb, did it
not?!
“Ms. Thompson! On what basis do you say that the necklace my daughter gave Ms. Ada is
a fake? You should say that only after
getting someone to appraise it! Otherwise, aren’t you just slandering
us?!”
Shannon felt that there would be huge trouble if things went on like
this, so she hurriedly stepped up to say so sternly as a means of preempting whatever the
others might say or do next. That way, she could contain the suspicion against them
temporarily before saying
anything more.
“The fact that I dared to say your necklace is a fake means that I have a way of proving it.
I am by no means being defensive.” Bella was
calm, and her tone was unhurried.
A mischievous gleam subconsciously flashed through her beautiful
eyes.
Justin sat straight, his gaze glued to Bella’s face as he smiled.
Whenever she smiled in that cunning and fox-like manner in the past, it meant she was up
to something.
That expression used to infuriate him, but at the moment, he found it more adorable and
pleasing the more he looked at it.
“Ms. Thompson! You claim that Ms. Salvador’s necklace is fake, but do you have
evidence?”
“Ms. Ada is an expert collector of jewelry. How could she not be able
to tell if it was fake?”
Exactly, Ms. Thompson! You have to take responsibility for making unfounded claims! The
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtwo necklaces look exactly the same. You should get an expert to appraise it before
drawing conclusions!”
Bella faced the audience’s criticisms with an impassive expression.
Suddenly, the halls’ large, heavy doors were pushed open.
Everyone reflexively turned to look.
A blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty on tall stilettos entered everyone’s
astonished field of vision.
Justin also could not help but look back. Instantly, his eyes widened.
Surprisingly, it was Sliva, Alexa’s assistant.
Why had Sliva appeared right at this moment?
“It’s Ms. Sliva! She’s the manager of Alexa’s studio!” Someone in the audience recognized
her and could not help but exclaim.
“Sliva actually came here?! She’s Alexa’s right-hand woman! Could there be anyone more
suitable to appraise Alexa’s jewelry than she is?!”
In full view of everyone, Sliva walked straight toward Bella without looking elsewhere.
Bella smiled softly at her and walked off the stage, relieved.
“You’re here.”
The familiar and natural way she greeted Sliva surprised the onlookers.
Sliva stopped in front of Bella and took her hand, kissing the back of
it lightly. This was a gesture of admiration and utmost respect in
Inalia.
“I’m sorry for being late, Ms. Alexa.”
