Chapter 109
Bella sighed. Gossip followed anyone who was popular.
She knew her participation at the event must have caused a lot of unnecessary criticism.
But she didn’t expect that there was no sincere friendship left between her classmates.
They were only jealously comparing each other.
Seeing Chase holding Bella’s hand, everyone was stunned.
“Is this Bella’s husband? The most useless son-in-law in Golden City?” someone from the crowd exclaimed.
“It seems so, Don’t you see Bella’s bitter face?
Oh dear, it’s like beauty and the beast!”
“Daniel is much better than this useless man!
Perhaps Bella has other thoughts! Else, she wouldn’t have come in another man’s car with her husband around! This useless man is really a coward. He even followed her into Daniel’s car. If I were her husband, I would rather die than to be shamed like this.”
Daniel was over the moon when he heard that.
That was exactly what he wanted to hear.
He quickly said in a loud voice, “Stop talking nonsense. Bella’s car broke down, that’s why we came together. Let’s all go in now.”
However, the explanation only made everyone mistake the situation further.
A man in a suit stood at the entrance of the resort.
Daniel hurriedly went up to him and said,”Uncle, thank you for welcoming us here in person.”
Daniel then introduced his uncle to the group, “This is my uncle.
He is the Assistant General Manager here. Uncle, I’m so sorry to bother you and thank you for the arrangement today.”
Director Zhao immediately smiled and responded politely, “It’s my honour to meet Daniel’s friends and be at your service.
Please enjoy yourself.”
Everyone quickly waved their hands and looked at Daniel with envy.
“Daniel seems to be doing quite well. Looks like he would be showing off his capabilities today!”
“The most exciting part is yet to come!
He is signing a contract with the Helping Hands Medical Center tomorrow, and it is going to take place here!”
“Shh, don’t mention Helping Hands Medical Center! You’re hitting the nail on Bella’s head!
Her family business is going to be ruined soon.
It’s such a pity that a beauty like her needs to go through all this!”
Daniel walked toward the lobby amongst everyone’s compliments.
Director Zhao had obviously made the necessary arrangements. He was already holding a big stack of room cards in his hands.
He said with a smile, “Everyone, please take a good rest tonight.
The alumni meeting won’t start until tomorrow. Before I distribute the room cards, there’s something I need you to be aware of. Our Boss Li has specificallyinstructed that the Cavesky Villa in the east is booked. Please avoid going there at all costs, else I wouldn’t be able to save you from the consequences.”
Everyone was stunned, “Could that be Angelina Li?” they wondered.
“It must be her. Who else would be qualified to live in the Cavesky Villa? It’s the most luxurious villa of all. Ordinary people won’t even have the right to get near it.”
Director Zhao then handed the room card to Daniel and left to attend to his work.
Daniel looked at the crowd and walked to Bella in front of everyone.
Bella’s heart skipped a beat.
Daniel pushed Chase away and said affectionately, “Bella, you are so pretty and elegant.
It’s a pity for you to live in a normal room. This is the second best villa in the resort. You can rest there tonight.”
Bella’s expression froze.
She could feel that everyone else was emanating with jealousy and hatred.
“Wow, hasn’t Daniel given up on pursuing Bella after all these years?”
“He seems so determined on Bella. Alas!
How could he show his affection for Bella in front of her husband? He is ruthless!”
“Ruthless? I don’t think so. Look at her husband. He is so obsequious and doesn’t even dare to say a word. Bella doesn’t deserve him.”
“True, only Daniel is worthy of Bella! Both of them are from pharmaceutical industry families and make a good match.
I agree with their relationship!”
Bella heard those whispers. Looking at Daniel, who pretended to be affectionate in front of her, she couldn’t help but frown.
Next, Daniel told Chase, “Hey, this is your card.
Your room is on the far west. If you can’t find it, you can ask the waiter.”
There was a burst of laughter.
At first, Bella wanted to hold back her anger, but Daniel’s attitude towards Chase completely irritated her.
She suddenly said aloud, “Daniel, would you please respect my husband? Since everyone is here, I will announce to you that I, Bella Song, am married. I love my husband and please do not seek anything else from me!”
The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward.
Bella had just rudely refused this rich young man in front of everyone.
Daniel’s face instantly changed!
Among the crowd, he was like a prince charming!
But now, he was humiliated by Bella!
The way he looked at Bella instantly changed!
“F**k!
“You b*tch!”
“Stop acting cool in front of me!”
“If it weren’t for your beautiful appearance, I wouldn’t have cared for you!”
“You’re just a nobody!”
“Soon, the Song family will collapse, I was thinking of saving you.”
“But now that you’re ungrateful, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” Daniel said angrily.
As the atmosphere was still awkward, Rebal walked out in anger. “Bella! How could you talk to Daniel like that? He was being nice to you, but in return, you treated him so rudely!
Who do you think you are? It’s all thanks to Daniel that we could stay in the Peaplum Resort tonight. It’s okay that you don’t appreciate his kindness, but how could you humiliate him in public? You need to apologize right now!”
Everyone present agreed in unison, “Yes, apologize to Daniel now! You’re only a pretty face! Men don’t just look at appearances.
Shame on you to pay back kindness with such rudeness!”
Under their criticism, Bella’s face suddenly flushed.
“I will leave the party! I’ll go back! Are you all happy now?” Bella said in rage.
Suddenly, she was held back by Chase.
Chase’s face darkened but still advised her kindly, “Don’t be impulsive.”
Bella was stunned.
Daniel on the other hand started to flash a broad smile.
Daniel thought this useless man was interesting.
He wondered how Chase would persuade his wife to stay.
Perhaps, it was the resort… Chase had never experienced such treatment and couldn’t bear to leave.
Daniel felt that Chase was so pathetic, allowing his wife to be aggrieved in this way.
Daniel had a thought about the good-for nothing Chase.
Perhaps he needed some tips from Chase to get to Bella.
Thinking of it, Daniel quickly distributed the room cards before the atmosphere grew tense.
When it was finally Chase’s and Bella’s turn, the only room left was a small villa in the most remote western part of the resort.
When Daniel handed Chase the room card.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
he smiled evilly and his face showed hints of he smiled evilly and his face showed hints of impatience.
Chase casually accepted the card. However, people despised him for this.
“He is such a coward! How could he accept the card selfishly and not save Bella?” a jealous man asked.
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Bella’s face flushed even more.
Once everyone went to their rooms, Bella stared at Chase and asked, “Why?”
Although she did not feel like staying in the villa, she still had enough faith in Chase.
Chase smiled and responded, “Don’t we have to sign the contract tomorrow? It’s more important to take care of the overall situation.
Let’s stay here for one more night.”
As he was talking, Chase walked to the front desk with Bella and told the receptionist,”Please, can I have the room key for the Cavesky Villa?”
