When Harrison arrived, Zachary, concerned Bella might say something inappropriate, quickly led her a few steps away.
Gwyneth couldn’t care less about the other two. Noticing Harrison’s hair was slightly disheveled, she reached up to smooth it and said softly. “No rush, the party performance hasn’t even started yet p>
“I’ve kept you waiting” Harrison leaned slightly forward, allowing her to adjust him. To outsiders, Harrison usually seemed unapproachable, but seeing him so warm and close with this mysterious woman, many couldn’t help but cast curious glances.
Gwyneth didn’t notice the curious glances around her. With a smile, she said. “Waiting’s fine, but why aren’t there any desserts or hors d’oeuvres this party p>
Harrison asked softly, “Hungry p>
Just a little” Gwyneth murmured. After changing into her evening gown, she’d been busy with her makeup and styling, and with men constantly approaching her, she hadn’t had a single bite to eat.

Bella overheard the whispers and chimed in with a knowing tone, Harrison and Mrs. Lopez really do seem to have a great relationship. As for Gwyneth
“He’s just pretending.” Zachary said. Seeing the affection in Harrison’s eyes made his chest tighten with frustration. “If he really loved his wife, he wouldn’t be keeping Gwyneth as a mistress. He’s such a hypocrite. He turned and walked away for a moment,
Left standing there, Bella grued her teeth. Zachary is still defending Gwyneth she thought.
Seething with jealousy, Bella waited until the performance was halfway through. When Harrison was called away by a phone call, she seized the opportunity and eagerly rushed back to Mrs. Lopez’s side.
Bella whispered, “Mrs. Lopez, behind your back, that homewrecker has Mr. Lopez completely wrapped around her finger. He’s even bought her a place at Teloria Apartment and showered her family wish all kinds of favors. Isn’t that just squandering your joint assets p>
“I know that vixen is no good, Bella said sweetly. “Mrs. Lopez, if you’re willing. I’d be happy to help you take care of her. Then you and Mr. Lopez could be together forever. Wouldn’t that be perfect p>
Bella cautiously tried to persuade Gwyneth, thinking to herself that if she could win Gwyneth over, not only could she crush Gwyneth beneath her feen, but she might also help Zachary salvage his partnership with the Lopez Group–a true win–win for her.
