The event hall was filled with the sound of music and laughter.
Bathing in the spotlight in the heart of the hall, the Reeds enjoyed the attention of all their guests.
Those from Salvador Corporation and the Hoffman Group stared at Wilson Reed nervously.
This project would pull the Hoffman Group out of the red, while it would help Salvador Corporation reach new heights and get one up on Bella.
Wyatt kept a stoic face. Sure, he was interested in the project, but nothing was more important than finding his daughter.
He wondered where Bella had wandered off. Wyatt hoped Bella was not snuggling up with Justin in a corner somewhere.

He was not a conservative old man, and Bella was once Justin's wife. Wyatt was grateful Bella did not get pregnant when she was living with Justin in Savrow behind his back.
Still, Wyatt felt there was a tand place for thrill-seeking.
However, Wyatt soon realized his docile and sensible daughter, Amelia, was missing too.
Amid his confusion, a couple showed up.
"Dad." "Chairman Thompson." Wyatt looked at them with a smile.
For sreason, he was proud to see that his daughter and Justin only had eyes for each other.
Wyatt did not use to take to Justin before, but the latter was growing on him.
"Where were you?" Wyatt moaned.
As Bella looked upset, Wyatt was concerned. "What's the matter? Are you ill? I'll get Ash and Quentin to take you to the hospital." Bella shook her head with a scowl. "I'm fine." "Where's Ash? I just called him. Why isn't he here yet?" "Ash has an emergency to sort out. He'll be here later." Bella's tone was flat.
Wyatt furrowed his brows. “What about Amelia? I didn't see her anywhere.” Justin's eyes were chilling, and his jawline tensed. Bella narrowed her eyes on Lance.
"Hahaha. Oh, Wyatt. Did you forget? Amelia was hitting it off with Charles on the dance floor. I think they might find the business event boring, so they went to a quiet spot to spend sttogether." .
Lance added with a smile, “Amelia is the quietest girl among her siblings. I was surprised she had a lot to talk aboutwith .
Charles. I guess they must see something in each other." .

Lance froze. Not wanting things to be tense between both families, he forced a smile and asked, "You seem upset, Bella. Who upset you?" "Chairman Iverson, my sister clearly doesn't see anything romantic in your crippled son. Are you too old to see that?" Bella's squinted eyes were scary.
The smile on Lance's face froze as rage took over.
Bella was insolent in his eyes.
.
m Lance believed her arrogance cfrom Wyatt indulging her and Christopher and Justin fiving her all the attention. She must think she was all that, having wrapped her finger around the two most eligible bachelors in Savrow. .
"Why are you being rude to Lance, Bella? Mind your manners," Wyatt chided Bella. She appeared to have a problem with the Iversons.
"Sigh... Don't say that, Wyatt. I don't want my goddaughter to be hurt.” .
Lance acted with grace, and his tone carried gratitude. "If it weren't for,Bella, Charles might not be able to а walk again. Either way, my family is grateful to Bella. You can't say that about my family's savior." .
