As the elevator slowly ascended, Mina Bell eyed her from the corner of her eyes. Zoe Bell was tall and had long legs, and because of her dancing background, she stood straight and tall with an impeccable posture.
Someone like her, even if she wore a piece of rag, would look good.
“Cough-” Mina Bell coughed, the place on her face where she had plastic surgery was inflamed, but it looked alright after the swelling went down.
Zoe Bell completely ignored her.
“Brother, why is there a smell in this elevator, huh?”
“What?” Ruben Fletcher was taken aback, “Where is
there a smell, is it not the scent of your perfume?”
Mina Bell glared at him, “What perfume smell, that’s
the smell of a vixen.”
Ruben Fletcher was dumbfounded.
However, Mina Bell hummed lightly, “Some people pretend to be lofty, but their skills in seducing men are
quite formidable. That Brandon Stone used to hover

around her ass and now there’s Mr. Hale.”
“The men around her, always seamlessly connected, never once stopped.”
“There’s always men willingly at her beck and call, a testament to her craftiness. Normally she acts so… mmph!”
Mina Bell couldn’t finish her sentence before Ruben
Fletcher covered her mouth.
And at that moment, the elevator had reached the target floor.
Mina Bell frowned:
How could she be living here as well?
Before Zoe Bell left, she turned to look at her once.
“Even the best perfume can’t cover up the stench coming from your mouth!” 2
Only after ensuring she was gone did Ruben Fletcher
let
go of Mina Bell, which greatly annoyed her: “Ruben Fletcher, what the hell are you doing?”
“That should be my line, why provoke her again?”
“Mind your own business!”

“Every time you go against her, when did you ever come out on top? Haven’t you learned your lesson yet? Last time you got humiliated and soaked, wasn’t that enough? Mr. Hale is not an ordinary person. If you want to be a dumbass and go after her, don’t drag me
into it!”
“You coward, useless trash!”
“I am useless trash, sure you’re great, you’re powerful, just don’t get your nose bent out of shape, alright.”
“You…”
Mina Bell was so angry that she was fuming. There was always a gripe in her heart.
She just wanted to see Zoe Bell crying and begging on
her knees.
While they were talking, Wyatt Hale had already taken the elevator upstairs. He was sipping milk tea, a new cup in hand, undoubtedly brought for Zoe Bell.
“Young Master Hale, what a coincidence, meeting you again.” Ruben Fletcher bowed and scraped upon seeing him.
Wyatt Hale was also someone who knew how to put

on airs.
With a languid ‘hm‘ in response, he turned and left.
He carried that sense of entitlement of the wealthy elite effortlessly.
She couldn’t understand, just what tactics had Zoe Bell used, to make William Hale’s brother run errands for
her.
After returning to the Bell Family, the wealthy people she met, which one of them would personally go buy drinks? They all had others running errands.
Yet, Zoe Bell had the ability to attract men.
Mina Bell stared at his retreating figure, muttering quietly:
“Tell me, what exactly is the relationship between William Hale’s brother, who accompanies her shopping, stays with her in the hospital, and even personally buys her milk tea?”
Ruben Fletcher frowned: “They also dine together.”
“You know quite a lot.”
“Fiona Fletcher, calm down a bit, will you?”

“My name is Mina Bell!” Every time she said that name,
it was like a reminder of her past.
If she had always lived with the Bell Family, even if she hadn’t gotten into university, they would have spent money to send her abroad for a ‘gold–plating
experience. She wouldn’t have entered society early, having to read others‘ faces.
She should have been like Zoe Bell, learning to dance and living a life chased by men.
Ruben Fletcher didn’t bother with her.
“Brother, wait for me.” Mina Bell chased after him, “Did
you know I have another brother at the Bell Family?”
“I know, I’ve never seen him. He should be an adult by now, right? I heard he’s abroad?”
Mina Bell nodded, “Then do you know why he went
abroad?”
Ruben Fletcher was thick but not a complete fool, he frowned and said, “Don’t want to know, guessing it’s not something decent.”

Mina Bell gritted her teeth in anøer.

Having just learned the Bell Family’s secret, despite her parents‘ repeated admonitions not to tell anyone else, she couldn’t help herself and was desperate to share it with someone.
**
At this time, Wyatt Hale had returned to the hospital room and handed Zoe Bell a milk tea, “Strawberry flavor, hot. I didn’t dare to buy you a cold drink.”“
“Thank you.”
Zoe Bell hadn’t intended to drink milk tea as she
needed to control her weight. She used to avoid
sweets entirely.
Recently, she had been quite indulgent.
“Sis, you don’t like strawberry flavor, huh? I thought all girls liked this kind,” Wyatt frowned, “Should I order takeout and buy you another one?”
“I love it.”
After inserting a straw, Zoe took a sip and then noticed William Hale was looking at her, so she casually asked, “Mr. Hale, do you drink this?
“My brother doesn’t like. Wyatt didn’t get to finish

his sentence before he saw his older brother nod.
Back at the Old House of the Hale Family, William had eaten the leftover half of a coconut cake, so he probably wouldn’t mind sharing a straw with her.
As such,
Wyatt had the fortune to witness his brother drinking
milk tea!
The cad!
He clearly never used to drink these things.
Even when he had milk tea, he had said it was just industrial sugar water!
Why the fuss about drinking it now?
William Hale only took a sip and then commented, “Sweet, tastes not bad.”
Wyatt didn’t detect any other meaning in those words, but Zoe felt her face heating up and pretended to play with her phone while looking down.
Zoe Bell had signed up for a competition, and naturally, she had to start resuming practice after being discharged from the hospital, so she had to be

more mindful of her diet. Yet, unwittingly, she finished the whole cup of milk tea.
After washing up, she looked at herself in the mirror for a long time, and to avoid disturbing William Hale’s work, she lingered in the corridor for quite a while.
While she rested, William Hale continued working.
When she felt the bed beside her collapse, her entire being was already enveloped in his arms.
It seemed that she was becoming more and more
accustomed to his proximity
as now, being held in his embrace felt very natural, very normal.
This showed that habit could indeed be terrifying.
“What were you doing outside just now?”
“Slimming.”
“Where do you think you’ve gained weight?”
“I have a competition. I always feel there’s a bit of fat on my waist.”
“Hmm?”
At this moment William Hale’s hand was on her woigt

lightly pinching the soft flesh there, which happened to be her ticklish spot. Zoe squirmed in his embrace like a startled cat.
“Stop it, it’s ticklish,” she said, unaware of how casual
her tone was with William Hale now.
“I’ll stop, just don’t squirm anymore.” His voice grew hoarse and deeper.

There was a slight gap between their bodies, which she closed with her twisting, pressing them closer
together.
Zoe Bell was acutely aware of the change in his body.
She bit her lip, and her entire face instantly turned
crimson.
She tensed, daring not to move.
The hospital was so quiet that Zoe could hear her own heartbeat and his breathing, rough and eager, as if it were sandpaper polishing.
It always grounded out a thick heat.
Under the covers, the warmth could not be dissipated

and roamed freely. Zoe felt sweat covering her body.
This was maddening.
Danger signals were teeming through all her limbs, and despite William Hale’s cool and indifferent appearance, he was also a normal man.
Time stretched out excruciatingly long as she remained tense all over.
“Zoe…” His voice, as he kissed her neck, carried an
alluring intimacy.
She hummed in acknowledgment,
and without a word, was kissed.
The surroundings were so quiet that she could hear the sound of their kissing, and it seemed as if something was about to spiral out of control…
