As Steven’s and Bella’s eyes met, they smiled. Nothing more needed to be said at that point.
In a dark corner, Amelia stumbled upon the interaction between Bella and Steven with bulged eyes.
The scene before her eyes cut her like a knife.
Amelia thought she could accept that Steven’s heart belonged to someone else.
However, the reality tonight broke her, and she could not stop the tears rolling down her cheeks.
Amelia put her hands over her shaking lips. Not wanting to disturb them, she retreated back into the
darkness.
As much as Amelia loved Steven, it broke her heart to see him in love with someone else.
The hardest thing to do in life was to let go and wish others happiness.
“That reminds me. What’s going on with you tonight?”
Furrowing her brows, Bella smacked Steven in the head. “Why were you playing good cop, bad cop?
Hunter is your brother, and your parents are here. You shouldn’t have taken my side recklessly. You

now. Despite the old man’s reputation as a playboy, he won’t stoop that low to exploit the young for his
amusement. Besides, Wyatt has plenty of ways to deal with your greed-driven brother. He just doesn’t
want to let things come between our families.’
Bella patted his shoulder with a smile. “Alright now. Don’t put everything on yourself. I think it’s great
that my father has a godson.
It’s better than him having another illegitimate child.”
“Cough, cough…” Steven nearly choked on his saliva.
…
Amelia stumbled her way toward the other end of the corridor.
She had a lot to drink tonight, and she felt down in the dumps. Her eyes, blurred by intoxication and
tears, struggled to give her focus on the way ahead.
Her legs were weak, and her head felt heavy. She nearly fell to her feet
