immediately stepped forward to pry Axel’s arm away from Bella.
“It’s quite the spectacle. I’ve heard of people dying because of love,
but I have never heard of people dying because of their brother. This is an eye-opener,” Ralph teased
Axel while stuffing a mouthful of
roasted duck into his mouth.
“Pfft!” Amelia couldn’t help but laugh, covering her cherry-like mouth.
Amelia was always quiet and reserved in front of her brothers.
However, she almost spat out the drink in her mouth when she heard.
Ralph’s remark.
Afraid that Amelia might choke, Asher patted her back while he lightly
added. “Axel, Bella survived a great calamity. Can you stop talking
about death and unfortunate events? You’re scaring people, and it’s a
bit ominous.
Axel apologized. “Sorry, I’m just speaking my mind without thinking.
Although Declan had freed Bella from Axel’s arm, he still held on to
her hand, unwilling to give up.
This was supposed to be a harmonious gathering of siblings, but it slowly turned into a fight for Bella’s

“Speaking of which, Bella, you courageously saved someone at the risk of your life. Did that person

“I passed out immediately after saving her, so I have no idea what
happened afterward.” Bella shrugged casually, enjoying the peeled
shrimp that Declan handed her one by one.
“They delivered a letter of commendation.” Having finished his meal,
Asher calmly wiped his lips with a napkin.
Everyone was stunned.
“What?” Bella asked with a half-eaten shrimp in her mouth.
Asher explained, “After the incident, I left my contact information with
Xavier of the Forest Park Rangers. He contacted me recently and said.
the female hiker you saved went to the park two days ago. She was in
a wheelchair, and she came with her family. They brought a letter of
commendation for you and wanted to thank you in person. Because
they didn’t know your name, they could only refer to you as the ‘kind-
hearted lady’.”
Bella asked, flabbergasted, “Did you contact Xavier personally? Does
that mean…?”
“Yes, both Xavier and the person you’ve always respected, Frank,
know your true identity.”
Asher looked at Bella with a touch of resentment. “Both of them.
weren’t too surprised to learn that you’re the heiress of Thompson’s
family. They advised me, as your older brother, to take good care of
you. They mentioned that the money you have donated to Mount
Jaglee National Forest Park over the years is more than enough.
Frank has already put it into the maintenance fund, and they can’t
spend it all. There’s no need to donate more. They understand your
goodwill. In the end, they hope that you’ll take care of yourself in the

“Ash, you’re really…” Bella put down the shrimp in her hand ar

Asher sighed, his warm eyes showing a hint of helplessness. “Bella,
you being the heiress of the KS Group is not a secret, and we don’t
want it to be. After all, you’re our precious little sister and the apple of
Dad’s eye. Some people already know your identity. But if you plan to
handle the Thompson family business and take over my position in
the future, standing in front of more people is inevitable. You should.

“Huh? Ash, that doesn’t sound right.”
Bella’s eyes gleamed with excitement as she looked at Asher with a
twinkle in her eyes. “Ash, judging from your tone, does it mean I’ve
passed Wyatt’s test? Does that mean I can leave the grassroots and
join the inner ranks of the group?”

Happy feelings took the place of the mental strain brought on by a
certain bothersome man.
After all, she had already experienced wealth and marriage. It was
time to focus on her career.
Asher teased her with a gentle smile. “I know you’re eager, but don’t be in a hurry. Dad’s been quite
busy lately. Once he’s done with this phase, he’ll inform you of the results of your assessment.”
While stuffing his face with roasted duck, Ralph could not help but make a comment. “Hm, Dad is being

Asher, Bella, and Amelia were rendered speechless.

“Huh? Yeah!” Ralph squinted his bright eyes, smiling without.
