Chapter 62
“Belle, Belle, calm down. Don’t let Kyle get to you. He’s only doing this to provoke you–it’s not because he truly cares about Faith”
Chlor’s voice grew urgent as she tried to steady Belle. “Don’t forget, kyle is just a nobody, a useless man who just got out of prison. Don’t do anything toolish. It you go back to him, everything you’ve worked so hand for will change. You’re the CEO of Life Pharma!
mean nothing. Don’t let your emotions muîn
“Think about it. If you give in now, you’ll be throwing away all those years of hard work. All your achievements will me
Belle wiped the tears from the comers of her eyes, her gaze tuming cold again. She shook her head. “How could I possibly soften? I’m not regretting anything- you’re overthinking it. I’m post angry, that’s all.
“Even though Kyle and Lare divorced now, the fact that he moved on so quieldy and is flaunting his relationship with Faith in front of me–that’s a betrayal!
Chloe exhaled heavily in relief. Thankully, Belle’s resolve was still strong. Things could have gone in a much more dangerous direction.
Chloe quickly seized the opportunity, “Belle, think about it this way. If Kyle is trying to provoke you, doesn’t that mean he still cares about you? He’s just doing all this to get your attention. If you want to teach him a lesson, make sure he doesn’t dare think of you again”
“How?” Belle’s eyes:
eyes narrowed slightly.
chloe smirked, her voice dripping with malice. “It’s simple. Anyone can see he loves you to the core. All you have to do is give him the smallest bit of hope. He’ll abandon Faith without hesitation and follow your every command. You could even make him humiliate Faith tight in front of you, Play him like a puppet, and he’ll dance to your tune. He went to prison for you this is nothing in comparison
Imagine the scene – we’ll sit back and enjoy the show while raith will completely fall apart. Then, when you’ve had your fun, you can dump Kyle. He’ll probably be so bioken he’ll throw himself off a building
The venomous suggestion made Belle’s expression light up with agreenient.
Belle nodded in agreement. “Chloe, having you by my side is the greatest comfort.
“He dares to play mind i games with me? I’ll show them that as long as I’m around, Faith will never be anything more than a joke. She doesn’t deserve what I’ve left
behind!”
Belle’s mind seemed to wander as she pictured Ryle and Faith’s eventual humiliation. The image alone brought a smirk to her tace that she couldn’t suppress. Chloe let out a silent breath of relief, her expression remaining warm and reassuring “Of course. I’m your best friend, Belle–I’ll always be on your side.” Meanwhile, the painting had already been delivered to Kyle, who immediately handed it to Faith
Faith stated at the priceless artwork in shock “This is too much. I can’t —”
Around them, onlookers mumured in admiration.
So, this was what it meant to have money.
It was clear from Faith’s reaction that she wasn’t after wealth. But winning her heart, step by step, was still something that required money.
Kyle didn’t give her a chance to refuse, waving his hand casually. “Anything bought with money isn’t truly valuable. The things that mattermost in the world can’t be bought.”
To Kyle, monry was i
s nothing more than a number, a meaningless symbol. With his plans and preparations, earning money was easy–he could have as much as he needed at any time.
What was truly valuable to him, aside from life itself, was loyalty and sincerity.
Faltla’s unwavering loyalty was the reason he treated her with such care and comideration
With the palating sold for 60 million dollars, the subsequent auction itens, while still valuable, failed to teach such extravagant prices.
Afterall, this was a charity gala. The auction was more for entertainment than for selling priceless treasures.
