Aurora Dourada: Retorno By Ricardo Almeida

Late at night, Bella enjoyed a relaxing soak in a hot bath and donned a peach-colored silk robe.

Her damp, ebony hair was tucked under a towel, and her youthful face flushed with warmth as she hummed a tune while descending the

stairs.

Despite recent troubles, she understood the ebb and flow of fortune, believing that one would not remain unlucky forever.

Besides, as one of Wyatt Thompson’s daughters, she had the power to achieve anything she desired. Even if she wanted to become the president of the country, she would find a way to make it happen.

However, there was one exception-that man.

Bella’s thoughts led to a tightening in her chest.

She believed that Justin had genuinely developed feelings for her, even sensing his relentless pursuit and willingness to embrace her in his heart, yet reality hit her hard.

Men, she thought, were either clumsy fools or downright despicable.

But Justin? He was nothing more than an incorrigible fool!

The more Bella thought about it, the more annoyed she became. Her lips slowly drooped from her smile..

“Ms. Bella, I’ve prepared herbal tea that helps calm the nerves and

enhance beauty. Would you like to have some? You won’t gain weight

from it.”

Steven, dressed in a suit with an apron over it, stood in the living room with a smile, looking at Bella.

Bella saw him sweating from his busy work and felt a sense of guilt

She responded gently, “Steve, you’re my secretary, not my

housekeeper. You don’t have to do these things in the future. I’ll have Aunt Mila send a chef from our Hatchbay house to take care of my meals. You’ve worked hard. I appreciate your effort for all of these.”

“Ms. Bella, Mr. Asher assigned me to assist you with both work and personal matters. It’s all part of my job. That’s how it’s always been,” Steven replied anxiously, fearing that Bella might eventually decide she no longer needed him as her secretary.

Bella shook her head. “I’ve already told you before. Your focus should be on someone who deserves it. Someone like Amelia.”

Steven clenched his fingers, feeling a tug at his heart.

“You’ve already done enough for me. These trivial matters shouldn’t distract you anymore. You just need to treat Amelia well. By splitting your attention, you might end up neglecting my sister.” Bella offered her advice kindly, genuinely concerned for her sister’s happiness.

“Ms. Bella, about Ms. Amelia…”

“Steve, has there been any news from the hospital?” Bella interrupted, uninterested in his explanation. Romance was not the first thing on her mind right now.

All she wanted was to deal with Shannon and make her pay for what

she had done.

Steven paused, then pursed his lips. “We’ve received word from our informant at the hospital. As you suspected, there was a heated argument between Shannon and Gregory. After the argument, Gregory didn’t stay with her at the hospital, and he hasn’t been seen there in the past few days. Congratulations, miss. It seems your plan to drive them apart has succeeded.”

“Once someone plants the seeds of doubt, Shannon will no longer be seen as innocent in Gregory’s eyes Her days in the Salvador family will only become more torturous with each passing day.”

Bella sneered coldly, her gaze sharp and unforgiving. “The only way to expose that wicked woman’s true mature is by breaking them apart and messing with her.”

The saying “to defeat an enemy, make them lose their minds” holds true in any situation.

“Also, as per your instructions, I’ve looked into Shannon’s daily routines. She undergoes medical beauty treatments every week an has a close relationship with a private cosmetic surgeon who performs procedures for her. He’s a rather handsome man in his ea forties.” Steven added, his words carrying a hint of intrigue.

“Ah, I see.”

Bella crossed her arms and clicked her tongue disapprovingly. “At his age, he’s definitely lacking compared to younger men in various aspects. But Shannon is at the prime of her life, so can someone like him really satisfy her?”

Steven smiled cryptically. “I think that doctor might be having a tough

time.”

“One’s after money, the other’s after looks. Both of them are so

shallow. It’s hard to say who’s using whom,” Bella concluded with a

smirk.
