Chapter 810
Bella could not help but recall the sight of Ryan and Carrie holding hands tightly, their eyes filled with happiness for each other. It stirred a mix of emotions in her heart. She felt moved and envious.
Carrie had already found the love of her life.
But what about her? Where was hers?
“Ms. Thompson, you’ve always been kind to Ms. Carrie, so I’ll help you in any way I can,” Linny affirmed.
Bella held the girl’s hand tightly. “Thank you, Linny. But please remember to prioritize your safety and not push yourself too hard. If you’re in danger, contact me immediately. The plan can be postponed or abandoned, but your safety comes first. Do you understand?”
Linny held back her tears and nodded earnestly.
Since the young girl traveled a long way and arrived hungry, Bella personally cooked a bowl of pasta for her with meat and vegetables. She even took out a side of pickles that Celeste made. It was a simple yet heartfelt gesture.
“Is it tasty?” Bella asked with a smile, resting her chin on her hand
across from Linny. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Yeah! It’s delicious!”
“Ms. Thompson, you’re such an amazing cook! Mr. Salvador is so blessed to have you as his wife!”
Steven couldn’t help but feel speechless.
Bella maintained her smile, but her tone carried a hint of sarcasm. It’s a shame he didn’t appreciate it like you do. But as for the future, Justin will never get to experience it again. That’s for sure.”
Bethany was left bruised and battered by Ryan’s men. She dared not
return home to face Shannon or tell Gregory about what had
happened.
Instead, she flew to Helionis to recuperate and undergo facial
reconstruction.
She knew Yasmin was affiliated with Ryan and would not have taken such a step without his approval.
Bethany knew that if she dared to report the incident or make it
public, she risked not only her own and the Salvador family’s
reputation, but she might also trigger even harsher retaliation from
Ryan.
The agony of being tortured alongside rats that day was something she never wanted to experience again in her life.
But to let this grudge go unavenged would be enough to make her wake up crying from nightmares.
After undergoing reconstructive surgery in Helionis, Bethany sneaked back to Savrow with her head wrapped in bandages.
As soon as she got in the car, she received a call from Zoe.
“Hello, where the hell have you been? Why couldn’t I reach you on the phone?” Zoe’s tone still carried the same imperiousness.
“Zoe, watch your tone when speaking to me. I’m a lady of the Salvador family, not your servant!” Bethany retorted angrily, still nursing her slightly painful face.
“Well, look at you, getting all worked up. I didn’t even hold you responsible for embarrassing me in front of Justin the other day. But now you’re throwing a fit at me.”
Zoe chuckled playfully. “But it’s alright. I’ll be the bigger person and let bygones be bygones. Tomorrow, I’ll send someone to pick you up, and you’ll accompany me to try on my engagement banquet attire.”
“Engagement? What engagement?”
“Obviously, it’s the engagement between me and Justin!”
“What?!” Bethany was shocked, and her face went pale. “How could Justin possibly be engaged to you? That’s ridiculous. Unless he’s lost
his mind!”
“Well, Justin hasn’t agreed yet, but it’s just a matter of time.”
Zoe said confidently, her tone dripping with arrogance, “Just wait and you’ll see. He’ll soon come around to me. I’ll become your sister-in- law before you know it.”
