Chapter 214
“Yes, of course!” Amelia replied.
“Then I’ll go with Ms. Bella.” Steven’s smile was warm, like a boy next door.
Steven watched Bella and Amelia grow up. He still had a vivid memory of Amelia when she
was six or seven years old. Back then, Amelia followed Bella everywhere with a lollipop in
her mouth and snot flowing out of her nose.
Bella did not think much of Amelia’s reaction because Amelia was shy and blushed easily.
Amelia’s skin was also clear and rosy all the time.
What Bella did not know was that Amelia had been crushing on Steven for seven years.
“Let’s go! I’m hungry. I’ve been craving Aunt Celeste’s cooking for many days. Let’s
feast!” Bella held her sister’s delicate hand and walked into the villa.
“My mom is still cooking. You arrived too early, so dinner’s not ready yet.” Amelia shook
her sister’s arm, just like she did when she was a child.
“Oh, no! But I’m starving!” Bella’s stomach growled.
“Ms. Bella, why don’t you have a snack first?”
Steven smiled dotingly and took out a piece of chocolate from his suit pocket. He tore
open the wrapper and put the chocolate to Bella’s lips.
Bella naturally turned her head, parted her lips slightly, and took a bite.
Seeing how close and natural Bella and Steven were, Amelia felt a little jealous. She

Amelia knew that Steven had always liked Bella. She had noticed it since she was very
young.
Steven would rather ditch a promising career in law like his brother and father just so he
could stay with Bella. Even if there was not much career growth, Steven willingly became
Bella’s personal
secretary.
Thus, Steven had never noticed Amelia.
Everyone was in a great mood that night because Bella finalized the divorce with Justin
and cut off all ties with the Salvador family. It was also because Amelia took the time to
return to Hatchbay, so the
house was livelier than usual.
It had been a long time since the servants had seen the Thompson sisters laughing like
this. They
were all glad to see the sisters together again.
It was just a pity that Wyatt’s sixth daughter, Camilla, was married off to a distant country.
Camilla’s husband was also in the running for the presidency of Sentania at the moment,
so they were too busy to come back for a visit. Otherwise, the three Thompson sisters
together would make such a nostalgic
and beautiful sight.
Celeste and the maids brought out all kinds of delicacies to the dining table. They looked
appetizing and scrumptious.
It was a pity that Bella could only stare at the food and not eat it yet because Wyatt called
everyone to the living room for an impromptu family meeting.
Asher, Axel, Amelia, Mila, Sasha, and Celeste, who was still wearing an apron, were all
gathered there. Wyatt sat in the middle of the sofa with a cold and stern expression,
giving off the oppressive vibe of a formidable tycoon.
“Dad, if you have something to say, can’t you say it after we’re done eating? Everyone is
hungry!” Bella swallowed her saliva as she could smell the aroma of the food coming from
the dining table.
“You still have the cheek to say this when you’ve caused such a mess?!” Wyatt sneered.
“Oh, Lord! Aren’t I divorced now? We got to have a drink later to celebrate!” Bella grinned.
Everyone looked calm. Only Amelia, who was still clueless about Bella’s marriage and
divorce, gasped in shock and widened her beautiful
eyes.
Amelia did not expect that Bella was already married and divorced.
Bella was excellent at everything and had never missed her target. What made Bella
decide to get married? It was not for love, right? Bella was not the emotional type who
would do anything for love.
“You didn’t come home for three years because you were married to a bastard. You even
ended up losing both your dignity and wealth. That Salvador boy is about to marry
someone else! You’re my daughter, so how can you let the Salvador family bully you?!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhy didn’t you bankrupt that family before you came home?!”
Wyatt was so angry that he had barely slept a wink last night. The more he thought about
it, the more infuriated he became. He wanted to go to Salvador Corporation, grab Justin by
the collar, and punch him senseless.
“Wyatt, I thought we were putting this past us.”
Bella sighed and suddenly lost her appetite. “Grandpa Nigel developed Salvador
Corporation to where it is now. It was his life-long effort, so how could I bankrupt them? Do
you want your daughter to be ungrateful?”
“I’d rather you be the ungrateful kid that I had to clean up after than let you be bullied by
outsiders! You’ve suffered for three years!” Wyatt finally roared out his feelings. His neck
was tense, and his
eyes were red.
Everyone was stunned.
Asher lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, while Axel looked at his sister worriedly.
Bella’s lowered eyelashes fluttered slightly. Her nose was tingling, and her eyes were sore.
She knew how much Wyatt loved her. It was because Wyatt loved her so much that she
did not dare tell him about her marriage to Justin.
However, this seemed to have backfired.
“Mila, I heard from the Salvadors that you and Bella met in public. Did you know about
Bella’s and Justin’s marriage early on?” Wyatt looked at Mila disapprovingly.
Mila lowered her eyelids and answered frankly, “Yes, I found out a long time ago.”
