“Don’t worry, Aunt Celeste. I’m okay.” Bella reassured Celeste while.
hugging her gorgeous stepmother.
“Both of you can talk. I’ll go prepare some snacks for you.” Celestel
indicated that Wyatt was still upset by raising her hands above her
head in the shape of horns.
Bella gave an “OK” sign and winked at her as Celeste turned to leave.
Quentin tactfully left as well.
“Wyatt, I overheard everything you said to Aunt Celeste just now from
outside.”
Bella sat down next to her elderly father and embraced him like a
friend. She rested her head against his and said, “Dad, you really
underestimate me. My arrogance shows I have the confidence and
ability to be arrogant. None of those domestic canaries can compete
with a true phoenix like me.”
“Yeah, you are my golden phoenix, but the wild chickens are always pecking at you.
Doesn’t that bother you?” Wyatt shook his head
helplessly. “Why are you provoking them? I constantly have to worry
about you because of the chaos it is creating.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Wild chickens? Are you talking about the Salvadors?” Bella couldn’t
help but laugh, her voice as melodious as a nightingale. “Wyatt, your
tongue is even sharper than mine. I admit I was a bit rude to you just
now.”
“You know your old man is just afraid you might suffer because of
your stubbornness. I want nothing but the best for you!” Wyatt indulgently hugged his
daughter. Suddenly, he remembered.
something and frowned, asking, “You made a fuss at the Salvadors event. As the president
of Salvador Corporation, didn’t Justin give you
a hard time?”
Bella’s heart fluttered slightly, and she shook her head. “No, and he even played a part in
this incident. initially thought that the female. reporter who came forward to accuse
Bethany was unconscious. It
turns out Justin had secretly helped her and brought her to the charity
event.”
Wyatt raised an eyebrow. “Hmm? What do you mean?”
“He used the event to solve his own problems. That guy has quite a
few tricks up his sleeve. No wonder he’s held onto the president
position so securely over the years.”
Wyatt sneered, unable to resist teasing her, “You’ve been married to
him for three years and haven’t been schemed against. That’s quite
fortunate.”
“Wyatt, the one who dares to mess with me hasn’t been born yet.”
Bella flashed her white teeth, resembling a young lioness.
At that moment, Wyatt’s phone rang. Bella picked it up from the
coffee table for her father and glanced at the screen, her eyes
darkening.
“Who is it?” Wyatt asked.
Bella replied with a cold expression, “It’s Gregory Salvador.”
Wyatt commented, “Oh, if it isn’t your ex-father-in-law.”
“Dad!” Bella blushed with anger, a rare sight for someone who was
not easily provoked.
Wyatt cleared his throat and calmly pressed the speaker button.”
What’s the matter, Chairman Salvador?”
“Chairman Thompson, I’d like to talk to you about last night’s
incident.”
Despite his usual proud and arrogant attitude, Gregory displayed a
more subdued attitude this time. His tone was amiable. “I’ll be
heading to Hatchbay shortly. Can I invite you for a casual meal and
some tea?”
“I don’t think you and I have much business to discuss lately.” Wyatt
hinted with a smirk, patting his daughter’s head. “Besides, my
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdaughter is back, and I have to spend time with her. If you have
anything to say, say it here.”
Gregory paused, chuckling nervously. “Chairman Thompson, there must have been some
misunderstanding regarding the charity. auction last night. The receipt wasn’t signed by
my daughter,
Bethany. It was forged, so it’s not valid.”
“Chairman Salvador, I think it’s pointless for us to discuss anything here concerning the
matter of your daughter imitating my daughter’s
work. Let your legal team talk to my legal team.” Wyatt maintained a
completely indifferent attitude.
“Chairman Thompson! Are you really planning to sue us over this
trivial matter?” Gregory seemed visibly anxious.
“Trivial?” Wyatt’s expression instantly turned cold. “Anything related
to my daughter is a big deal to me.”
Bella was seated at Wyatt’s side like a docile kitten as she listened in
on their conversation.
Hearing his words, her eyes sparkled with admiration. She seemed to better understand
why her mother chose this flirtatious playboy.
“Chairman Thompson, it seems there’s nothing left for us to discuss,
is that right?” Gregory asked, suppressing his anger.
Wyatt’s gaze turned icy. He rubbed his cheekbone and said, “As I grow older, I become
more petty. In business, I can weigh the pros
and cons, but I won’t compromise when it comes to my family. In
short, whoever messes with my daughter, I’ll mess with them.”
