Chapter 270
Under Chairman Thompson’s meticulous arrangements, the blind dates were swiftly
scheduled.
Bella applied her makeup in the restroom while Steven stood outside, holding an iPad and
briefing her on the schedule for the day.
“11:30 a.m. lunch with Mr. Zimmer from H Group. 1:30 p.m. afternoon tea with the eldest
son of Chairman Walter from S Group. 3:30 p.m. private screening of a musical with the
second son of Chairman Lee from Z Group.”
“Okay, two hours each.” Bella shrugged. She thought to herself, ‘Even animals destined
for the slaughterhouse aren’t rushed this way!’
After a while, the bathroom door opened. When Bella appeared in front of Steven, he could
not help but burst into laughter.
Steven laughed. “Ms. Bella, you’ve really outdone yourself!”
She had painted freckles all over her face and wore a wig, resembling the shape of a
chicken’s nest. There were black smudges below her nose that looked like a mustache.
She appeared completely ridiculous with her left hand on the door frame and her right
hand pretending to pick her nose.
“Do you think this is enough? I was thinking of adding a couple of scars to my face!” Bella
grinned, showing her blackened tooth as she waved to Steven.
Steven, who was trained to remain composed as the chief secretary, rarely laughed at
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwork. But this time, he could not stop himself from bursting into laughter.
Bella seemed to have a knack for mischief. She took a selfie with her phone and sent it to
the group chat with her brothers.
In a split second, the group chat was flooded with messages.
[Asher: …Excuse me. Who is this?]
[Bella: Hey there, handsome! Why don’t you take a guess!]
[Drew: Hahaha, I’m laughing so hard I’m about to lose my mind! Bella, this is hilarious!]
[Axel: Holy crap! You almost scared me to death this early in the morning! I almost peed
my pants when I saw the picture!]
[Declan: Bella, even if you want to get into cosplay, shouldn’t you choose something a
little more fitting to your image?]
[Drew: Why don’t you cosplay as Juliet? I’ll play Romeo! We can be star-crossed lovers!]
Drew even sent a hugging gif, to which Axel responded with a kicking gif.
The group chat was quickly filled with stickers and gifs by the two brothers. Although they
could not meet in person due to the nature of Drew’s work, they squabble with each other
in this virtual space.
[Bella: Gentlemen, in your opinion as straight men, what are the odds of my blind date
falling
for me when I look like this?]
[Axel: 0%!]
[Asher: True beauty resides within, not on the surface. Once someone gets to know you
better, they will naturally be captivated by your charming personality, Bella.)
[Declan: I can’t really differentiate faces, so physical beauty is all the same to me, but
finding an intriguing soul is rare. Bella, with your exceptional personality and talent, those
men will
nitely be drawn to you.]

[Drew: You know, Bella. I’m not focused on looks. I’m more into legs! (7) Axel, as a public
servant, how can you judge someone by their appearance?]
[Axel: Oh, come on! Are you the only one who’s allowed to have an opinion?!]
Bella scrolled through the conversation and burst into a hearty laugh.
Bella thought to herself, ‘Axel always speaks his mind. Being too straightforward often
leads to loss.’
[Bella: Wish me luck! I’m about to meet my first victim.]
[Asher: May the Lord bless you and your blind date.]
[Axel: Bella, if you go out with this wig on your head and some wealthy young man takes a
liking to you, you should seriously consider him. There’s an 80% chance it could be true

[Bella: Hehe, if someone falls for me today with this look, I’ll give him a free Thompson
Hospital medical card, so that he can get a free checkup for glaucoma or cataracts!]
Meanwhile, Steven’s phone continued to vibrate.
Seizing the moment while Bella was engrossed somewhere, he pulled out his phone for a
quick glance. He received private messages from all four of Bella’s brothers, almost
simultaneously. The gist was more or less the same.
[Thompson Brothers: Watch Bella. If there’s a problem, contact us immediately.]
[Steven: Don’t worry, I will definitely protect Bella and ensure her safety.]
[Thompson Brothers: Who said we were concerned about her? We’re more worried about
her date!]
Steven smiled slyly. He was sure that they were all blood-related siblings.
The ill-fated blind dating game officially began.
Bella was an efficient person. Since she had come this far, she decided to treat it like a
game and see all the eligible men in one day so that she could conclude this as soon as
possible.
Despite her ghostly and alarming appearance, these wealthy and privileged young men
remained unfazed. To her surprise, they stayed composed and relaxed. They even
exchanged. laughter, as if nothing could rattle them.
