Chapter 852
“That's not what I meant. It's just that you've always been really discreet with
your doings. You never show up at events like this.”
“Really? Well, you'll have to get used to it now.”
Bella narrowed her alluring eyes slightly. Her gaze gave off a hint of intrigue as
she addressed her cousin. “I'll be making more public
appearances from now on. It seems like we'll have to spend more time catching
up, Cecily.”
Cecily’s face wore a forced smile, though she was seething inside.
The staff politely asked Bella. “Miss, may I see your invitation,
please?”
“I don’t have one,” Bella admitted openly.
“Pfft”
Cecily could not hold back her laughter as she mockingly remarked
finally seizing an opportunity to regain some ground. “My dear Bella
have you been out of the loop for too long? Don't you know that you
need an invitation to get into a high society event like this? You're
making things difficult for the staff.”
The staff looked visibly perplexed. “I'm sorry, miss, but you can't enter
without an invitation.”
“I'm Bella Thompson,” Bella stated calmly, her expression indifferent.
The name “Bella Thompson” struck the staff like a thunderbolt,
leaving them.dumbfounded.
In the past, Bella would just mention her father’s name for
convenience.
But now, after causing quite a stir in Savrow, her name alone held enough
weight. There was no need to rely on her father's name
anymore.
“Ah, Ms. Thompson! My apologies!”
“No worries. I had some urgent matters to attend to and wanted to see Mr.
Salvador. My bad, I didn't think this through carefully.”
Bella then adopted a humble tone, offering a slight smile. “Since I don’t have an
invitation, I understand that it'd be hard for you to let me in. Could you please
inform Mr. Salvador that I'm here to see him?”
“It's alright, Ms. Thompson. Please, come right in!" The staff's
attitude was notably more attentive, a complete contrast to their
previous treatment of Cecily.
“Thank you. This is Mr. Larson, a friend of mine. Can we please en
together?” Bella asked politely.
“Of course! This way, please!”
The staff courteously escorted Bella and Arnold into the banquet hall.
Cecily was left standing alone at the entrance. Her face flushed with
frustration as she stomped her foot.
It had always been like this since they were children. No matter how
hard Cecily tried, her radiance would inevitably be overshadowed by
Bella.
Meanwhile, Justin and Ryan were walking together toward the banquet hall.
“How is Carrie lately?” Despite Justin's neutral expression, he was still concerned
about his sister's well-being.
“Carrie's been doing well. Once I finish my current tasks, I'm planning
on taking her to Switzerland for a while so that she can get better treatment.”

“Have you done something to Bethany?” Justin asked, his expression cold and
detached.
“Why? Are you concerned about her?”
