Chapter 851
“Well, being the highlight of the event isn’t what’s important. What
matters is that Mr. Salvador likes me…”
From a nearby distance, Bella caught every word of Cecily’s statement. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Watching Cecily’s affected demeanor, Arnold felt his suppressed nausea resurfacing.
“Be a good girl. Show Mr. Salvador everything you’ve got and be attentive to him. Then he will gradually develop feelings for you.”
