Chapter 41 – The Way to Fame

Bella Williams smile faded, and her body became stiff. She slowly turned around and looked at the man whose voice they had just heard appear behind them.

The man wore a sleek white three-piece suit, with both vest and suit collar neatly overlapped. He was distinguished and dignified with his hands in his pockets. He was chic, and his facial features were stunning even in the dim light of the stairwell. Nothing could stop his unparalleled elegance.

Charles Williams’s lips raised in a very slight curvature.

The heart inside Bella’s chest quickened its beat, and her hand tightened into a fist, her voice was reverent, “Lord.”

Mum is still here, she seemed to always bear witness to this.

She sighed.

Charles looked at her and pretended to be cute with that faint smile on his face. He felt happy that she had stuck up for herself.

Bess Brook had met Charles Williams once before. But his esteem was different, and it was unforgettable at a glance. She quickly bowed to Charles, and greeted him in earnest, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Williams.”

Bella looked at her mother carefully. She knew that Bess felt terrible because she had to borrow that money from Charles and she naturally felt inferior to others.

She would rather herself be wronged instead.

Her eyes fixated politely on Charles, neither servile nor overbearing and said, “Lord, I will send my mother home, and then I will come back to the Mansion, as soon as I can tonight.”

Charles’s expression became displeased. Mr. Smith had sent him an invitation personally for tonight, and he had refused. But then he came specifically because he worried that she would be harassed by Lynn and her mother. But she was sending him away.

His eyes swept over her indifferently, and then he turned around proudly and said, “By the way.”

Those simple words directly told her that her request was to remain ungranted.

Ziv looked at Bella’s firm face and whispered, “Miss Bella, we will send your mother home first and then go back together.”

She understood without any explanation.

Bess hurriedly waved her hand and said, “No, no, no, don’t worry about me, I am capable of finding my way home. Go on with your boss.”

How could she let Bess travel home alone? What if she ran into Len! He would scatter the fire on her mother.

“Mum, let’s go back together with the Lord, in his car. It won’t be a problem.” She looked at Charles and said quickly, “It wouldn’t be a problem, would it Lord?”

“Well!” Charles had already stepped into the corridor.

Ziv quickly said to Bess, “The Lord had already agreed, please come together ladies.”

Bess obediently followed Charles and Bella.

An hour had passed, Lynn Sanders slowly opened her eyes and saw Martin Smith’s dark glare. Her heart panicked.

“Lynn, finally, you wake up. What happened? I was scared to death!” Laura Sanders whimpered, “Are you still uncomfortable?“

Lynn was relieved of all the physical effects of the aphrodisiac. She still showed some emotions on her face though.

“I am okay.” Lynn shook her head weakly, looked at Martin Smith and asked blankly, “My love, Martin, what happened to me? Why am I here?”

For the sake of this moment, she could just pretend to know nothing, turn herself into a victim, Otherwise, how could she be accepted by the Smiths?

Martin Smith glanced at her coldly, “Nothing, just rest.”

Martin said to Mr. and Mrs. Sanders, “Take care of Lynn. I must redesign this year’s line because of what happened today. I have to go back to work to deal with the company affairs.”

She saw that Martin looked sick and she glanced at her parents, only to see the angry look on her father’s face.

Laura Sanders said with compassion, “Martin, good idea, go to work first. Don’t work too hard though.” She said quickly with a wink to her daughter.

Lynn did not want Martin to leave, she was especially afraid that when she woke up, Martin would never return.

Laura took Martin’s hand and walked him outside the door. “Martin don’t forget to take care of yourself too. Get some rest.”

Martin Smith left the ward as she closed the door and walked back inside.

Len Sanders poked Lynn’s forehead and said angerly, “Have you forgotten what I said? Just wait until after your show. You didn’t listen, did you? Look what happened! What did you think you were doing? How could you be so stupid!?”

Lynn responded somewhat upset, “Someone sent me a message saying they were ready. Look for yourself!”

She was also wronged. Initially, she was going to see Bess raped, but it turned into her almost being raped.

Laura picked up her phone and saw there was a text message sent by a stranger. She called the number, but it was not working. Then she called the number on her mobile phone, and it was also busy. She rushed to call the mobile company to inquire, but they told her that the number had been cancelled half an hour ago.

“What’s wrong? Mom?” Lynn looked at her mother whose face grew dark while her heart sank slowly into her stomach, “What’s wrong? What happened, Mom?”

Was it Bella who sent the text? Did that mean she figured out the plan tonight?

Laura looked at Len and clenched her teeth. “The phone number was changed.”

Len Sanders comforted his wife, “It’s okay, we will find who did it tomorrow, I will go and have a good talk with the company.”

“What do we do now? Today was Lynn’s debut, it was wonderful, but the ending was not what we imagined. Did you hear Martin just now? The product must now be redesigned. Do you think they will get Lynn to continue as the spokesperson?” Laura was very anxious, this was Lynn’s future, and it mustn’t be destroyed tonight.

“I will call the police!” Lynn said with a grin. “Only in this way, can I redeem myself, I could stand in front of the media and be the victim, I could still be the spokesperson of BD and Martin would not need to redesign the line.”

“How would you explain that you went to the seventh floor from backstage?“ Laura asked worriedly. “Although calling the police was the best choice, the two men were hired by us. If they didn’t cooperate and they betray us, what would we do?”

Len Sanders said proudly, “There’s always a way.” He looked at Lynn, “It is a clever idea, and it’ll make you spring into fame.”
