Chapter 353


    Ada felt a surge of surprise and excitement, almost at a loss for words! She had pleaded with everyone


    she knew to help her get a piece of jewelry designed by Alexa, but so far, nothing has


    worked out.


    In a surprising turn of events, Be presented her with Alexa’s brooch as a gift. Thus, Ada was thrilled.


    “No, no, no… Ms. Thompson, I appreciate your kindness, but this gift is too precious. I really can’t


    ept it,” Ada expressed. Despite genuinely liking it, she hesitated out of pride and politely declined.


    “The brooch once consoled my wounded soul, but now I havepletely emerged from the shadows,


    and in the future, I will never tread the same path again.”


    Be smiled lightly, her gaze incredibly resolute. “So, this gift is more of a beautiful wish. It once helped


    me ovee my sadness, and I hope this little thing will bring you the best of luck in the future.”

    Justin’s pupils contracted. He felt a piercing pain, as if his chest had been struck. His heart ached and


    went numb.


    The fleeting hidden joy from moments ago was ruthlessly extinguished by Be with a bucket of icy


    water, chilling to the core.


    “Oh! Well then… Ms. Thompson, I’ll ept your generous gift. Thank you so much! I really appreciate


    it.” Ada eximed, cradling the brooch that Be had once again bestowed with sacred value. Her grin


    was so wide that she could not close her mouth.


    Goodness, was this still the aloof international superstar? What a drastic transformation!


    “Why?!” Bethany could not contain her anger as she turned to Shannon and said, “Mom, our family has


    spent a fortune to set up this stage. Why should we let this wretched woman show off here? It’s just a


    worthless brooch. We can afford to give her the same! You should think of a solution to get that bitch


    out of here!”


    “A solution? Why should I bothering up with a solution?”


    Shannon’s eyes darkened as her lips curled into a sinister smile. “Be is a jinx. Just now, that bastard


    used Ada to mock me. Now, he’s getting what he deserves.”


    Though Bethany felt annoyed, she could not help but be suspicious.


    Before the divorce, Be used to be terrified of Justin, like a startled bird. A slight furrow in his brows


    would make her feel troubled for days. Now, after the divorce, it seemed like she hadpletely turned


    the tables, toying with Justin at her fingertips.


    If Be had disyed this skill earlier, Rosalind might not even be in the picture.


    “Ms. Be Thompson!”


    Zoe finally became indignant, thinking herself righteous as she stepped in front of Be. With a fake


    smile, she said, “Of all the times you could present Ms. Wang with your gift, why choose tonight at the


    Salvadors’ weing banquet? Are you trying to steal the limelight?”


    When Justin saw Zoe unnecessarily defending him, his eyes darkened.


    “If presenting a gift is stealing the limelight from Mr. Salvador, I think that you might be underestimating


    Mr. Salvador’s charm, Ms. Hoffman.”


    Be narrowed her beautiful eyes. “The Salvadors are the hosts of this weing banquet. Mr.


    Salvador is right here to witness everything, and he hasn’t objected to anything. Ms. Hoffman, don’t you


    think that you are overstepping your boundaries as a guest?”


    Zoe was so enraged that her eyes seemed ready to spew fire, but with so many people watching, she


    could not afford to lose herposure.


    Be let out a faint sigh and said apologetically to Ada, “Ms. Wang, it seems I’m not very wee


    here, and I understandpletely. After all, Salvador Corporation and KS Group have always been


    business rivals. My appearance is indeed abrupt. Since I’ve delivered my gift, I won’t intrude any


    longer. I’ll take my leave now.”


    With that, she turned to leave.


    “Ms. Thompson, wait!” Ada hurriedly approached Be. “I would like to have an in-depth discussion


    with you about Alexa Jewelry. Do you have time tonight?”


    “Of course. KS World Hotel has prepared exquisite Savrow cuisine and fine wine for you, Ms. Wang.


    Why don’t we chat over dinner?” Be replied.


    The crowd was stunned. Be Thompson’s audacity was astonishing. She was openly poaching the


    star of the show at the Salvadors’ event!


    Justin felt a pang in his chest. Just as he was about to stop Ada, Ada happened to nce at him and


    offer him a slightly apologetic smile. “Mr. Salvador, I have some unexpected matters to attend to, so I’m


    afraid I have to leave early tonight. I wish you all a pleasant time ahead.”


    Everyone was dumbfounded.


    Was that all Ada had to say?! This woman, just as rumored, only did as she pleased.


    “Mr. Salvador, I don’t mind arranging another seat at the table for you. Would you like to join the feast?”


    Be smiled and extended an invitation to Justin, but there was no hint of warmth in her eyes.


    Justin clenched his teeth, his heart pounding against his ribs. Just as he was about to say something,


    Be suddenlyughed. “Well, with so many guests here tonight, it seems you already have your


    hands full, Mr. Salvador. Perhaps next time, if there’s a chance.”
