Chapter 657
The birthday celebration was about to begin.
Bella let out a comforted smile at the full house, and Wyatt was
chatting away in the front row with Nigel.
“Oh, my. Did my eyes deceive me? That’s Nigel Salvador.”
“Yes, you’re right. Nigel’s looking hale and hearty.”
“Nigel and Wyatt are close. It’s not every day that you get to see such a long-standing friendship.
Others could even mistake Wyatt for Nigel’s son. Hahaha.”
“I think Gregory’s wife is celebrating her birthday at the Salvador Hotel tonight too. Nigel is here to
attend the birthday of Wyatt’s wife instead of attending his own family’s. Tsk, tsk. That leaves us
something to wonder, doesn’t it?”
The guests snickered.
“It’s clear that Nigel doesn’t see Shannon as his daughter-in-law. She was involved in bribing and
auctioning off a knockoff jewelry piece in the last few months. Her niece even cheated on Justin. Of

“The way I see it, Justin and Wyatt’s daughter make a good match. I’ve seen the news about the
auction. Justin seemed to have her back. Do you think there were any sparks between them?”
Bella furrowed her brows upon eavesdropping on that part of the
chatter.

to you, Bella.”
Bella looked surprised.
“All I have is regret.”
Looking dejected, the man rasped, “I regret my past behavior toward you and not letting anybody know
you were once my wife.”
“If that’s the case, you have no reason to be regretful.”
Bella turned away from his perturbed face and looked ahead, her
voice aloof. “I am relieved that I was a wife in the shadows for three
years. I am grateful that you never made our horrendous marriage
public.”
Horrendous.
The words cut through Justin like a knife.
They had been through a lot together. Yet, he was still a humilia
past to her.
“It helps me move on from the failed marriage. I can just pretend tha we have never been together.”
Bella blinked and chuckled. “Ha. We weren’t really ever together, to begin with.”
