The Bugatti drifted off into the night sky. Christopher adjusted his glasses, and a smile spread acrosshis face as his heart swelled with excitement.

The car sped along the road, its engine echoing through the night.

Bella lowered the car window, enjoying the whistling night breeze, looking at the neon scene on theother side of the river, and fell into deep thought.

Steven tightened his grip on the steering wheel and asked sullenly, “Ms. Bella, have you becomeacquainted with Mr. Iverson so quickly?”.

Bella replied, “It’s not bad. We hit it off quite well.”

Steven Lovett grumbled discontentedly, “Although Christopher saved you, it’s a fact that he trailed youto the villa. You should be cautious.”

Bella smiled and said, “Maybe he recognized me and was curious, that’s all. Having interacted with himtwice, I don’t think he’s a bad person. It’s just that sometimes he speaks strangely. Perhaps he’sinfluenced by the bold customs of Sentania?”

Bella’s eyes sparkled, “The most important thing is, we both love the same game! We even made plansto team up one day!”

Steven’s bitterness grew as he listened. He pressed his lips together, remained silent momentarily,then asked in a hushed tone, “Ms. Bella, you’ve never been so accommodating and tolerant towardsany man you just met. Do you… Perhaps like him a bit?”

Bella

gave

Steven Lovett an exasperated look, “Oh, where did you get that idea from?”

She rolled her eyes and added, “If anything, it’s Christopher who likes me. Besides, why would I beinterested in a man? I have better things to do! Men will only hinder my money-making speed!”

Steven couldn’t help but chuckle, dispelling his worries. Steven silently reassured himself,” Fortunately,Christopher hadn’t swayed Ms. Bella.’

At that moment, the sports car glided over a speed bump, and a card slipped from the flower basket.“Hmm, what’s this?” Bella frowned, bending down to pick it up.

Upon opening it, the elegant and beautiful handwritten note revealed the words left by Christopher:“Don’t miss out on the good times in this moment of youth.”

Bella narrowed her eyes slightly and thought, ‘This Christopher is quite interesting.’

Breaking the silence, Steven asked, “You ran into Rosalind again today. Did she say anythingunpleasant?” He asked with concern, remembering the infuriating face of that vile woman.

“What do you think?” Bella responded, raising an eyebrow coldly. “Can an animal stop behaving likeone?”

“Ms. Bella, Rosalind had already made a move against you. She’s even willing to sacrifice her own lifeto climb the social ladder.” Concerned, Steven asked Bella, “How do you plan to deal with this?”

Bella replied, “Steve, I don’t need you to assist me here for the next few days. Instead, go take care ofsomething for me.”

Steven replied, “What are your instructions, Ms. Bella?”

“I need you to keep an eye on Jean, Rosalind’s mother,” Bella said calmly while caressing the roses inthe basket. Her expression turned cold as she continued, “After tonight, Rosalind won’t be able tocontrol herself anymore. She will make a move soon.”

“Did you mention something to her tonight?” Steven frowned in confusion.

“I dropped a hint about her past in the Meridan. She was so shocked.” Bella smiled as she recalled theghostly look on Rosalind’s face.

Steven asked with concern, “Isn’t that giving the enemy a heads-up?”

Bella shook her finger playfully and said, “I wasn’t trying to alert the enemy but rather lure the snake outof its hole. I deliberately said things to Rosalind tonight to provoke her. The closer she gets to beingengaged to Justin, the more agitated she becomes. She’s completely focused on marrying into theSalvador family and will stop at nothing to eliminate any obstacles.”

Steven suddenly realized and exclaimed, “So she will definitely look for that child and hide her again?!”

Bella smiled slyly, nodding. “Rosalind is currently confined to the hospital daily, making it inconvenientfor her to scheme. So, she will likely assign this task to her mother. After all, only her mother knowsabout the girl’s location. I’ve already cast the bait. Now we just wait for the fish to bite.”
