Chapter 170
Bella thought, ‘Bethany, you’re a monster for bullying your sister!’
“Wilma, I understand your worries, but I’m no longer married to Mr. Salvador. I am just an
outsider and have no right to interfere with his family matters.” Bella was angry when she
heard what Bethany did to Carrie, but she had no choice but to step away.
“I know… But who else can I count on besides you? Who else can I talk to?” Wilma was
about
to cry.
“Wilma, please don’t cry.”
Bella felt uncomfortable when she heard Wilma’s sobbing voice over the phone. So she
comforted Wilma and said, “You’ll have to take care of Carrie. If I find an opportunity, I will
definitely try my best to help her.”
“Thank you, Young Madam!” Wilma was grateful to her and hung up reluctantly.
Bella looked at the dimmed screen and sighed quietly.
“Is that the old nanny in the Salvadors’ residence that you often talked about before?”
Asher took a sip of tea and asked with concern.
“Yeah, she has taken care of Justin since he was little. She’s an honest and kind-hearted
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwoman. She was also very nice to me when I was living with the Salvadors.”
Bella was like this. If someone offended her, she would retaliate. If someone treated her
well,
she would remember their kindness forever.
“It seems like Wilma is in a difficult position if she actually called you to complain.”
“It’s about Carrie Salvador, Justin’s youngest sister.”
Bella’s heart ached again when she thought of that innocent and clueless girl. “She’s
autistic, withdrawn, and introverted. Although she’s Gregory and Shannon’s daughter,
they don’t pay attention to her. When I was staying with them, I could still protect her from
Bethany, who showed some restraint back then. Now that I’m no longer there to protect
Carrie, Bethany is getting more unscrupulous.”
“Although what’s happening to Carrie sounds pitiful, this is the Salvador family’s affairs.”
Asher sighed helplessly. His clear eyes were full of worry for his sister. “You and Justin are
divorced, so it’s better to remove yourself from his family matters.”
“I know what to do. By the way, why did you come here? Aren’t you busy at the
headquarters? Do you miss me?” Bella walked around behind Asher and naturally put her
arms around his
neck.
“Of course, I miss you. But I came because I received this early in the morning, and I think
I should discuss it with you.’
Asher smiled gently, took out an invitation from his jacket, and handed it to her.
“This is…” Bella was stunned.
“Gregory Salvador’s secretary personally delivered Old Master Nigel’s birthday invitation
to
me.” His tone was a bit skeptical, even as he smiled.
“Hah! I guess I got you involved after all.”
Bella sneered and saw through their schemes. “The Salvador family and the Thompson
family have always been at odds with each other. We’re well-known business rivals and
haven’t had any contact for so many years. Why did Gregory invite you to Grandpa Nigel’s
birthday party this time? It’s clear that Gregory didn’t do this. I’m afraid he’s coerced by
his wife.”
Asher touched his chiseled jaw and said, “Bella, since they have bad intentions. I’m afraid
that something will happen at the party.”
“We’ll deal with it when the time comes. I’m not even scared of Justin, so why should I be
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmafraid of Shannon, the outdated D-list celebrity?”
Bella sat next to Asher and smiled smugly. “I know how to deal with her. If she wants to
play dirty, I’ll just let her be. Asher, I’ll tear this invitation up for you. Just pretend you
haven’t seen it and don’t go.”
“No, I decided to go,” Asher said with determination.
“What?!”
“Bella, we have never been afraid of a challenge. We’re unyielding and should face our
problems head-on.”
Asher’s gentle eyes were filled with distress. He placed his big palm on the back of Bella’s
neck and gently rubbed it. “I didn’t know about the grievances you suffered in the past
and failed to protect you. Now that you’re back with us, I won’t let you suffer anymore.”
“Ash…” Bella’s beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she felt touched.
Asher sighed and hugged his sister. “Something unexpected might happen at the birthday
banquet. If you go alone, you may be bullied by them, so I don’t want you to be in that
kind of situation anymore.”
Bella rubbed her eyes and felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
She had never lacked love.
She was just so obsessed with making Justin fall in love with her that she got herself into
this
mess.
