NovelStartChapter 851 “Well, being the highlight of the event isn't what's important. What matters is that Mr. Salvador likes me...” From a nearby distance, Bella caught every word of Cecily’s statement. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Watching Cecily’s affected demeanor, Arnold felt his suppressed nausea resurfacing.

Then he will gradually develop feelings for you.” Even at this moment, Cameron did not miss the chance to belittle Bella. He sneered. “My dear daughter, no matter what, you're bound to be better than that replaceable Bella My girl, you need to be confident. You're just as good as Bella. It’s just that you and Mr. Salvador are a bit short on fate, but that doesn’t matter. We can work on that. On the contrary, Bella and Mr. Salvador were absolutely not on the cards. Otherwise, how could they end up divorcing each other Bella listened quietly to Cameron and her daughter's arrogant conversation. Her elegant demeanor remained composed.
Arnold stared in disbelief as Cameron and Cecily left the parking lot.
“Justin Salvador is your ex-husband?” “Yeah, | should've told you earlier. It's not really a secret anymore anyway.” Bella's expression remained indifferent.
“Well, you're certainly a model ex-wife, then.” Arnold could not help but tease Bella, “Most people woul anna strangle their exes after a divorce, but here you are, going out of your way to help your ex-husband. Are you still hung up on the past, or does he have something on you?” “I simply want a proper closure for myself. Let's go,” Bella replied emotionlessly, striding toward the hotel.
Watching Bella's resolute and distant figure as she walked away, Arnold could not help but find her intriguing.
Despite her young age, she possessed a striking resolve, like a sword slicing through a raging storm.

With confidence, Cecily presented her invitation to the staff at the door.
“Ms. Cecily, this way, please.” “Thanks.” Just as Cecily was about to step inside after adjusting her hair, she heard the distinct sound of high heels approaching from behind.
Turning around in surprise, she was startled to see Bella and Arnold striding confidently toward the banquet hall, Cecily clenched her teeth. Her gaze turned icy. ‘Why is this woman suddenly here? No one informedthat she was going to be here today! Also, who's the strikingly handsman accompanying her? He's so good-looking! Is he her new lover, or perhaps her new romantic interest?’ “Well, well, Bella! What a pleasant surprise to run into you here!” Cecily’s expression changed in a split second as she greeted Bella warmly.
Arnold scoffed disdainfully. If he had not heard Cameron and Cecily’s arrogant conversation in the parking lot earlier, he might have actually thought that Bella and Cecily had a great relationship as cousins.
Moments like these were why Arnold was reluctant to return to his homeland. The dynamics between these affluent families were too complicated and insincere for him.
“What's wrong withbeing here? If you can grace this hall with your presence, why can’t I?” Bella retorted without sparing Cecily a glance. Her lips curled slightly, and her stance was domineering.
