“Bella, tell me the truth. Have you fallen for that bastard again because of this incident?” Mila asked
worriedly.
“No.”
Bella answered firmly. “I’m not so stupid to jump into a pile of shit. I just don’t like owing him anything.”
Inexplicably, she felt a trace of paniq, but it quickly vanished.
“That’s good, then. If you want to get back together with him, you probably won’t have any home to
come back to.”
Mila cast a chilly glance at her. “Do you want your family or do you want a scumbag? You choose.”
Bella rubbed at the goosebumps that had risen all over her arms in fear.
“Bella! Mila!”
Right then, Sasha knocked on the door and strode in. “They’ve just delivered the gowns for Celeste’s
birthday party. Hurry up and come take a look! I’m not too good at fashion. After all, I even wore pants
to my wedding.”

The three women arrived at Celeste’s room, only to find a wheeled rack crammed full of gorgeous
evening gowns.
Every single one was limited edition and fresh off Paris Fashion Week’s runway. They were so
dazzling!
There were also rows upon rows of custom-made high heels on the floor. A few of them were topped
with sparkling diamonds, making them look extravagant.
If she had been any other woman, she would be shrieking in delight by now. One could buy a house
just by scraping off a few of the

But Celeste, clad in a plain and ordinary light purple sweater, sat on the sofa at a loss.
“What’s wrong, Aunt Celeste? Your birthday is coming soon. Wh aren’t you happy?” Bella sat beside
Celeste and put an arm arou in a bossy manner.
“Bella, can you ask your dad nicely to call off the party?”
Celeste sighed helplessly. “I’ve been going back and forth on this with him for half a month now. I said it
was fine to just have everyone gather at home. I’m not used to eating outside food anyway, and it’ll be
so tiring and expensive to entertain so many guests. But Wyatt won’t listen, so what should I do?”
“Wow! Celeste, you’re showing off, aren’t you?” Sasha teased.
“If we didn’t know you, we’d probably assume you were trying to subtly show off and make us jealous.”
Mila put an arm around Sasha’s slim waist and joined in on the teasing.

mealtimes.
At the time, Bella could not remember much but knew Celeste was her mother’s love rival, so even at a
young age, she was very protective of her mother and clashed with Celeste often. She often
caused huge uproars at home and even said a lot of terrible things
about Celeste to her face.
Bella always thought that Celeste had too little self-respect. How could she shamelessly cling to Wyatt,
despite knowing he had a family and more than one woman by his side?
It was not until later that she learned the whole story from Asher and Axel after she grew up.
Back then, Bella’s mother had contracted lupus, and Celeste had
donated bone marrow to her without hesitation.
That was two decades ago, when medical technology was not as
developed as it is now. Donating one’s bone marrow was not
completely risk-free, and Celeste had gotten long-term after-effects from it. From time to time, she
would feel unbearable pain.
