Well, you'll have to get used to it now.” Bella narrowed her alluring eyes slightly. Her gaze gave off a hint of intrigue as she addressed her cousin. “I'll be making more public appearances from now on. It seems like we’ll have to spend more tcatching up, Cecily.” Cecily’s face wore a forced smile, though she was seething inside.
The staff politely asked Bella. “Miss, may | see your invitation, please?” “I don’t have one,” Bella admitted openly.
“Pfft!” Cecily could not hold back her laughter as she mockingly remarked finally seizing an opportunity to regain sground. “My dear Bella have you been out of the loop for too long? Don’t you know that you need an invitation to get into a high society event like this? You're making things difficult for the staff.” The staff looked visibly perplexed. “I'm sorry, miss, but you can’t enter without an invitation.” a “I'm Bella Thompson,” Bella stated calmly, her expression indifferent.

In the past, Bella would just mention her father’s nfor convenience.
But now, after causing quite a stir in Savrow, her nalone held enough weight. There was no need to rely on her father’s n anymore.
“Ah, Ms. Thompson! My apologies!” “No worries. | had surgent matters to attend to and wanted to see Mr. Salvador. My bad, | didn’t think this through carefully.” Bella then adopted a humble tone, offering a slight smile. “Since | don’t have an invitation, | understand that it'd be hard for you to letin. Could you please inform Mr. Salvador that I'm here to see him?” “It’s alright, Ms. Thompson. Please, cright in!” The staff's attitude was notably more attentive, a complete contrast to their previous treatment of Cecily.
“Thank you. This is Mr. Larson, a friend of mine. Can we please en together?” Bella asked politely.
“Of course! This way, please!” The staff courteously escorted Bella and Arnold into the banquet hall.
Cecily was left standing alone at the entrance. Her face flushed with frustration as she stomped her foot.
It had always been like this since they were children. No matter how hard Cecily tried, her radiance would inevitably be overshadowed by Bella.

“How is Carrie lately?” Despite Justin's neutral expression, he was still concerned about his sister's well-being.
“Carrie’s been doing well. Once | finish my current tasks, I'm planning on taking her to Switzerland for a while so that she can get better treatment.” Whenever someone mentioned Carrie, Ryan's eyes softened with warmth and anticipation for the future. “I've reached out to a psychiatrist who can help Carrie overcher struggles, especially with her autism and trauma.” “Trauma? What do you mean?” Justin halted, puzzled.
“I'm not sure either. Yasmin was the one who toldabout this. She believes that Carrie may have been traumatized previously. | think probably had something to do with Bethany.
After all, Bethany constantly bullied Carrie in your house back then. Anyone would develop trauma in such a situation.” A cold, determined glint flickered in Ryan's narrowed eyes. “But it doesn’t matter anymore. I've already sought revenge for Carrie. If Bethany dares to lay her hand on Carrie again, I'll make sure she faces severe consequences!” “Have you done something to Bethany?” Justin asked, his expression cold and detached.
“Why? Are you concerned about her?”
