Putting her hand over her bruised arm, Bethany could not wait to get away from Shannon’s lecture.
Growing up, Bethany benefited from her mother’s influence over her father, which opened doors for her
future. However, despite her mother’s role in her easy life, Bethany secretly looked down on her for her
lack of sophistication and culture.
Shannon was vulgar in comparison to socialites like Zoe’s mother and Mila Larson. It was not as if
Bethany could choose her parents anyway.
The event was split into two segments-the banquet and the auction.
The venue was packed with A-list celebrities and renowned artists, as if every star in the industry had
graced the event with their presence.
As the general manager of the hotel and organizer of the charity event, Bella was stopped by the press
for live interviews.
She carried herself with poise in front of the cameras.
A journalist asked, “Ms. Thompson, Ada Wang has chosen the Salvador Hotel for her wedding venue.
Now that you are hosting at charity auction for Mint magazine, are you trying to level the playing. field
with Salvador Corporation?”
“I understand why you would think so since we have been competing with Salvador Corporation.”
Bella added with a faint smile, “But Mint magazine contacted us. about the event, so the timing is just
by some strange chance. There’s nothing sinister behind the event.”
“It has been reported that Ada selected the KS World Hotel to have her wedding. Why did she change
her mind and pick the Salvador
Hotel instead? Did something happen in between?”
Bella responded, “As the information is confidential and proprietary to the hotel, I’m afraid I’m not at
liberty to share that.”
The same journalist inquired, “She dropped out of the deal with you and opted for Salvador Corporation
after the leak of her wedding plans. Is that the reason that contributed to the change of heart?”
Bella remained unfazed, but her eyes turned chilly.
The journalist was likely here to stir trouble.
In a corner, Zoe sipped on champagne and smiled wickedly as Bella faced a barrage of questions from
the relentless press.
She planted the nosy journalist who could not take a hint.
Despite the minimal impact on Bella’s career, Zoe hoped to bait Bella into controversial responses and
draw criticism toward her.

Shannon and Bethany drew close.
Reigning victorious, Bethany was no longer intimidated by Bella. In fact, she became cocky..
“You’re right. That was the case.” Bella’s smile faded, and her expression turned solemn.
The crowd went wild.
Zoe furrowed her brows. It never occurred to her that Bella would answer the question honestly without
dodging and shutting the journalist up with a random excuse.
That was one thing Zoe had not prepared for.
“Stop putting Ms. Thompson on the spot. She’s been swamped with work after the breach of contract.”
Lifting her chin, Bethany said with an arrogant smile, “But don’t feel discouraged, Ms. Thompson. You
can do better next time. The incident with your hotel serves as a cautionary tale for the Salvador
Corporation. We won’t make the same mistake as you. We are committed to maintaining the strictest
confidentiality of all customer information.”
