Chapter 378 “She’s an heiress of the KS Group. Surely, she knows the rules of the trade.” “Duh, of course, she does. She’s probably trying to take advantage of the situation. Gee, the lengths businesswomen go to get a leg up in the industry. For all we know, she might have used underhanded methods to beat Mr. Salvador and gain Ada’s trust.” “Tsk, tsk. I was impressed with Ms. Thompson, but she turned out to be shameless and despicable.” Zoe smirked, knowing she had won this round. ‘You’re one cocky bitch, Bella. I’ll show you your place today. The best way to take you down a notch is to make people question your integrity.” Unbeknownst to Zoe, Justin, who came late, had witnessed everything she had said and done. The man hung back in the dark, staring indifferently at Zoe, who was pleased with herself. Standing tall in his tailored suit with fabric that draped smoothly across his toned chest, Justin scowled. “Mr. Salvador, that woman is picking on the young madam.” lan was anxious to watch.

Justin pursed his lips. He leaned in and paused. “Just wait.” “Still” lan widened his eyes in confusion. “She’s Bella Thompson, not a typical woman. She has her way of dealing with it.” Justin narrowed his eyes. Even he did not realize that his smile was tender and proud. “Even if she doesn’t, she has me.” lan’s eyes bulged as he stared at Justin’s side profile in disbelief. lant held onto his chest. Justin added, “She was my woman. No one but me can pick on her. -No one.” lan thought, ‘Good grief! Is he still the ruthless president that I knew? Owned by Has the world turned upside down? Could this tender look on Mr. Salvador’s face melt the Antarctic iceberg? Sigh… It’s a shame that Young Madam could not witness it.” Public opinion was swaying on the other end of the room.

Bella’s choice of jewelry started a stir, as promoting another business during a brand event was disgraceful and against the rules. Hiding behind Zoe, Bethany took delight in Bella’s unfortunate situation. Bella observed with a calm expression as Zoe stirred the pot. Her unperturbed gaze did not sit well with Zoe. Zoe expected to see Bella flustered, helpless, and embarrassed. She had a problem with that. “Miss.” Vincent, who had kept quiet thus far, said with a pretentious smile, “I see that you’re wearing AX’s Everlasting Flower collection. It’s a limited edition with only ten of its kind.” “Yes, Mr. Anderson. I love AX’s jewelry pieces, and this is my favorite collection.” Zoe’s eyes lit up, and her heart raced as she managed to catch the eye of AX’s CEO. “Since you love the collection, you should know that the inspiration for AX’s Everlasting Flower collection came from a talented jewelry designer, Alexa’s Rose of Desire.”

Vincent cocked his head. A flicker of light dancing on Bella’s left rose gold earring held his gaze. The look on Vincent’s face was too suggestive from Justin’s perspective. He pursed his discolored lips, unable to take the male attention Bella received. “Ms. Thompson’s jewelry set is Alexa’s Rose of Desire. In other words, without the Rose of Desire, the popular Everlasting Flower collection would’ve never existed.”
