“Well, being the highlight of the event isn’t what’s important. What


    matters is that Mr. Salvador likes me…”


    From a nearby distance, Be caught every word of Cecily’s statement. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.


    Watching Cecily’s affected demeanor, Arnold felt his suppressed nausea resurfacing.


    “Be a good girl. Show Mr. Salvador everything you’ve got and be attentive to him. Then he will


    gradually develop feelings for you.”


    Even at this moment, Cameron did not miss the chance to belittle Be. He sneered. “My dear


    daughter, no matter what, you’re bound to be better than that receable Be My girl, you need to be


    confident. You’re just as good as Be. It’s just that you and Mr. Salvador are a bit short on fate, but


    that doesn’t matter. We can work


    on that. On the contrary, Be and Mr. Salvador were absolutely not on the cards. Otherwise, how


    could they end up divorcing each other


    Be listened quietly to Cameron and her daughter’s arrogant conversation. Her elegant demeanor


    remainedposed.


    Arnold stared in disbelief as Cameron and Cecily left the parking lot.


    “Justin Salvador is your ex-husband?”

    “Yeah, I should’ve told you earlier. It’s not really a secret anymore


    anyway.” Be’s expression remained indifferent.


    “Well, you’re certainly a model ex-wife, then.”


    Arnold could not help but tease Be, “Most people would wanna


    strangle their exes after a divorce, but here you are, going out of your way to help your ex-husband.


    Are you still hung up on the past, or does he have something on you?”


    “I simply want a proper closure for myself. Let’s go,” Be replied emotionlessly, striding toward the


    hotel.


    Watching Be’s resolute and distant figure as she walked away, Arnold could not help but find her


    intriguing. Despite her young age, she possessed a striking resolve, like a sword slicing through a


    raging


    storm.


    Arnold could not help but smirk. “Be, you’re growing increasingly fascinating to me.”


    …


    Cameron bumped into an acquaintance midway and struck up a conversation, leaving Cecily to


    proceed to the banquet hall ahead of


    him.


    With confidence, Cecily presented her invitation to the staff at the


    door.


    “Ms. Cecily, this way, please.”


    “Thanks.”


    Just as Cecily was about to step inside after adjusting her hair, she heard the distinct sound of high


    heels approaching from behind.


    Turning around in surprise, she was startled to see Be and Arnold


    striding confidently toward the banquet hall,


    Cecily clenched her teeth. Her gaze turned icy. ‘Why is this woman suddenly here? No one informed


    me that she was going to be here today! Also, who’s the strikingly handsome man apanying her?


    He’s so good-looking! Is he her new lover, or perhaps her new


    romantic interest?’


    “Well, well, Be! What a pleasant surprise to run into you here!”


    Cecily’s expression changed in a split second as she greeted Be warmly.


    Arnold scoffed disdainfully. If he had not heard Cameron and Cecily’s arrogant conversation in the


    parking lot earlier, he might have actually thought that Be and Cecily had a great rtionship as


    cousins.


    Moments like these were why Arnold was reluctant to return to his


    homnd. The dynamics between these affluent families were too


    “What’s wrong with me being here? If you can grace this hall with your presence, why can’t I?” Be


    retorted without sparing Cecily a nce. Her lips curled slightly, and her stance was domineering.
