Chapter 430
The fake Alexa jewelry necklace Bethany acquired from Zoe worked
wonders.
Bethany braced herself, apprehensive about being discovered when presenting the necklace to Ada as a gift.
Nevertheless, Bethany had figured out a backup plan if she were discovered. She could save her ass by saying that she was scammed by a friend because of her limited knowledge of jewelry.
Alexa’s apprentice must have fine-tuned his craftsmanship because Ada did not suspect that the necklace was a copy. Ada happily wore the necklace right away, reluctant to take it off.
In the end, Ada signed the contract with Bethany.
That was not the only thing. With Shannon putting in the good word about Bethany, Gregory finally pulled her to the core of the business and promoted her to higher management. She could join the meeting
with the senior executives at last.
That night, Shannon and Bethany enjoyed a celebratory drink on the
balcony.
“Your dad will hand over the management of the hotel to you after Ada’s wedding. Make an impactful first impression, my dear. In time, you will be on the board of directors, and that’s when you and I will get rid of Justin.”
Shannon held her daughter, her eyes sparkling as if bearing

“Mom, we haven’t heard anything from Bella in a while. Why did she

Bethany exclaimed, with her finger pointing at the TV. “That’s the iconic fashion magazine. It’s the dream of many celebrities to grace. the cover of the magazine. I can’t believe Bella is co-organizing the charity with Mint. That’s unexpected. It’s said on the news that Ada is among the celebrities to attend.”
