Chapter 469
For three days, Bella embraced the cozy confines of home, indulging
in food and rest.
Her three stepmothers pulled all the stops to make Bella comfortable
at home. Celeste cooked up a storm, feeding Bella with her best
recipes.
Bella gained three pounds in just three days.
“I won’t lose any weight at this rate.” Bella let out her frustration.
“Alright. You can start a new resolution after this meal.”
Celeste and Sasha persuaded Bella to join them for lunch.
As Wyatt and Asher were away at an out-of-town business event, Wyatt’s three wives and
Bella were the only ones at the dinner table.
“Good news, Ms. Bella.”
Steven burst through the doors in delight. “Bethany has been apprehended in connection
with an alleged business impropriety Shannon is freaking out, and Gregory is trying to get
his daughte

“Sigh. It took the police three days to take Bethany into custody. police force in Savrow
isn’t as effective as the law enforcement Hatchbay.” Bella was not surprised. She wiped
her lips with a napkin
gracefully.
“The police probably didn’t want to act rashly, seeing that an heiress

was involved.”
Mila gave Bella another helping of food. “Have some more, Bella. You
don’t get to enjoy Celeste’s cooking every day.”
“Uh… I can’t eat anymore. Burp!”
Bella shook her head and burped with her hand over her mouth as the
three ladies laughed in amusement.
Steven curled his lips at the adorable sight of Bella. Struck by a
thought, he leaned forward and patted her back in case she choked
on some food.
“Easy there, Ms. Bella. Don’t choke.”
Mila’s keen eyes picked up on Steven’s pining thoughts for Bella.
She frowned without a word.
“Although Bethany should face the consequences for showing
aggression to Bella multiple times, I think Shannon should be
arrested for giving her ideas. I bet Shannon instructed the girl to mess
with Bella. The wicked woman is simply vile.”
Sasha left her table manners out the window since her husband was
not around. She slammed the table, her tongue loose. “Karma is
supposed to clap back by now. When is it Shannon’s turn? Celeste
wouldn’t have-”
“Don’t just get caught up in talking, Sasha. You haven’t touched your
food.” With her heart skipping a beat, Celeste stuffed bread in Sasha’s
mouth and forced a smile.
Bella narrowed her eyes.

It seemed to Bella that Celeste and Shannon had crossed paths.
Bella did not confront Celeste right after lunch. Instead, she went to

Sasha’s room to sound her out.
“Why did I blab today? Tsk. I promised Celeste I’d never talk about it
to the kids.”
Sasha slapped herself, regretting spilling the beans in the heat of the
moment.
“Celeste worked with Shannon at the TS Gem Channel for some time
before marrying Wyatt. They were signed on to the same company. At
the time, Celeste was the best of the rising stars, while Shannon
always played the villain in the shows Celeste starred in.”
Bella fell into contemplation before uttering indifferently, “Shannon is
manipulative, dishonest, and jealous. I bet she was jealous of
Celeste’s popularity and fan base, so she pulled something.”
“I know, right? She-”
Sasha nearly said too much again. She bit her lip and closed her
“I can’t. I can’t say more. I promised Celeste that I wouldn’t talk.”
Bella panicked. “Aunt Sasha, Shannon hurt Aunt Celeste. You
put up with injustice. Surely, you want to avenge Aunt Celeste.”
