Chapter 351
Behind Zoe was the grand door to the banquet hall. From her perspective, it seemed like Justin’s gaze was fixated on her.
“Justin.” Zoe’s eyes lit up with excitement as she approached him.
Suddenly, a strong scent of roses filled the air-vibrant, bold, and a tad dangerous.
Click, click, click!
The sharp and forceful clicks of high heels passed by Zoe, making her heart race. The intense presence felt so overwhelming
that she hesitated to even breathe.
Everyone was stunned, especially Justin, who remained frozen in place. His ink-black pupils locked onto Bella’s cold and
delicate face.
Her eyebrows formed a picturesque arch, and her face bore the chill of frost. Only her lips, painted in fiery red, moved like
flames, dancing restlessly on Justin’s heart.
Bella’s tailored black suit bestowed upon her an understated elegance. Yet, with delicate features that couldn’t go unnoticed, she
naturally stood out in the crowd.
Those around her quickly engaged in discussions about Bella’s unexpected presence. Shannon and Bethany shuddered upon
seeing the appearance of this uninvited guest.
Suddenly, a low exclamation could be heard.
“I know who she is! Several well-known magazines and websites interviewed her some time ago. She’s the daughter of Wyatt
Thompson, chairman of the KS Group! She’s now the general manager of the KS World Hotel.”
“Yes, yes, yes! I remember now! Her name is Bella Thompson!”
“Is she the one who has been challenging Mr. Salvador? This woman is stunning, but she doesn’t seem like an easy opponent.”
“Just look at her sharp eyes. I can tell at a glance that she’s a strong career woman. She just exudes power and elegance, like a
queen!”
“Yeah, I think she and Mr. Salvador make a perfect match. Why be enemies when they could be a power couple?”
When Justin heard these nonsensical words, his heart still simmered with undisclosed anger. Surprisingly, upon hearing the last
sentence, his frown softened a bit. Inexplicably, that sounded pleasant to his ears.
As Bella walked past Zoe and stole all the attention that belonged to her, Zoe’s anger reached a boiling point. The corners of her
eyes turned scarlet, and she felt as if her soul had
momentarily left her body.
Yet, what stung Zoe even more was the fiery intensity in Justin’s gaze, which was fixed on Bella at that very moment. In her
memory, his eyes were usually as somber as a deep pool. She had never witnessed him looking at a woman with such passion
and desire. ‘Did he still harbor feelings for Bella? Could he be in love with her?’
“Ms. Wang, Mr. Salvador, I hope you don’t mind me showing up uninvited.”
Bella stood before them with calm grace. Her red lips curled into a warm and soothing smile.
“Of course, I won’t mind if you join us, Ms. Thompson. I welcome your presence.” Justin responded with a hint of complexity,
curling his lips slightly. “If I had known you were
coming, I would have sent you an invitation too.”
Bella, smiling with wide-open eyes, replied, “Why bother? Mr. Salvador, you should know that if I show up at this time, I’m
definitely not here to attend the dinner.”
Justin’s cold and handsome face suddenly darkened.
Sweat dripped down Ian’s forehead, and he quickly took out his phone to message the security guards outside.
[Ian: What’s going on?!]
[Security: Sorry, Mr. Harris! We don’t know where Ms. Thompson came from...]
[Ian: What kind of excuse is that?! Did she pop out from the ground?!] [Security: It’s our negligence. We’ll escort Ms. Thompson
out right away!]
