Chapter 564
Due to the chilly weather, Bella stopped taking her kayak out to the back of the villa. However, she
remained disciplined in keeping up
with her workout regime.
Bella, dressed in skin-tight pink athletic wear, sprinted on the
treadmill. Her face was flushed as she sweated profusely.
Steven held a towel and bottle of water ready for Bella. He reported softly, “I compared the guest lists
released by Chairman Thompson.
and Gregory and found that at least 50% of the names are on both.”
Bella remained indifferent. “That’s to be expected.”
“I’m still a little worried.”
Steven voiced his concern. “Madam Celeste is having the birthday
celebration at the KS World Hotel, while Shannon is having hers at the
Salvador Hotel. Once again, both companies are at odds.”
“Get your facts right. Who would want to be associated with Salvador
Corporation’s wicked witch? She’s shameless to have her birthday on
the same day as Aunt Celeste.” Bella had the breath to ridicule

Shannon, even though she was running. Shannon is the one looking
for trouble, but we’re having the party in Savrow, not Hatchbay. I’m
afraid=”
“Are you afraid that the guests would extend the courtesy to Gregory and not Wyatt, since Gregory was
born and bred in Savrow?”
“Nothing goes past you, Ms. Bella.” Steven flattered Bella.
“You always worry over nothing.”
Bella got off the treadmill. Seeing that she was drenched in sweat, Steven held the towel up to dry her
sweat.
She snatched the towel from him and said, “I’ll do it.”
Steven pursed his lips.
He had a feeling that Bella had become distant.
Even though he had admitted his feelings to her, they had talked
things through. He expected nothing from her, but he could feel their relationship regressing.
“The Iversons are on the guest list. Not only that, I dropped an invitation to Ryan, and he was over the
moon. He agreed to decline.
the invitation to the Salvadors’ party and attend Aunt Celeste’s
instead.”
Bella shifted her gaze away from Steven’s dejected face and wiped
her sweat. “The Iversons and Hoffmans are attending our event, and
they are important people. Those who can’t decide will soon know
who to pick. The era of Salvador Corporation and the Iverson Group
dominating the business world is over because KS Group will stand in
their way once I become the CEO. The Thompsons and the Iversons.
have a long-standing relationship, and Ryan supports me. I wonder if
the undecisive will still accommodate Gregory’s invitation.”
Steven nodded. “That’s true.”
Bella took the bottle of water and sipped on the straw. She did not
even look at Steven the whole time.
“Ms. Bella.”
Steven called out to her in a sad voice and asked cautiously, “Have I
done something wrong?”
Bella shied away from his gaze. “Huh? No.”
“I did. I know I did.”
Steven’s face was flushed with panic. “What did I do wrong, Ms. Bella? Tell me, and I’ll change.”

around me. You should have your own
life and find time to date someone.”
“Ms. Bella…”
“My sister, Amelia, has always been close to you, and you guys still
get along fine. I can tell that you like her too.”
Bella was sincere in setting them up. “Why don’t you two try dating?
Don’t stress out about it, though. You come from a good family, and
Wyatt considers you a godson. No one will stop you from being
together with Amelia. In fact, we can’t be happier.”
“I appreciate the thought, Ms. Bella.”
Steven’s heart raced, but his tone was firm. “I’m nice to Ms. Amelia
because she’s your sister and Chairman Thompson’s daughter. It’s my duty to serve her too. Plus, we
grew up together. She’s like a sister
to me.”
