Over the past few years, relying on Sebastian's status to elevate her own, Bella had bulldozed her way through the industry. She frequently looked down on others, acting with an arrogant sense of superiority. With a powerful CEO backing her up, she had blindly offended a massive group of people without even realizing it.
Now that her wedding had turned into an industry-wide joke, plenty of people were waiting eagerly for her downfall. She just hadn't realized it yet.
Bella was currently fixated on one terrifying possibility: if Sebastian actually listened to Old Mr. Blake and divorced her, she was finished. Under these circumstances, if news of a divorce broke, her life would become a living hell.
Yet, after searching all night, she still couldn't find him.
She had no idea if he had quietly purchased other properties over the years without telling her. She had always felt incredibly secure in their relationship, but thinking about it now, there were a lot of things Sebastian kept hidden from her.
That was the most terrifying part.
Panic gnawed at her. Once working hours began, she called his office, only to be told he hadn't shown up.
Left with no other options, Bella returned to the luxury hotel. She and Sebastian had booked the bridal suite for their wedding night, but it had remained empty. When she walked in, well before checkout time, she found that all the romantic floral arrangements and newlywed decorations had been stripped away.
Bella flew into a screaming rage.
When the hotel manager rushed over, he didn't offer any apologies. He simply stated that Julian Ross had informed them not to hold the room and to clear the decorations. Then, the manager coldly brought up the remaining balance for the wedding banquet.
This directive had come straight from Julian yesterday. And Julian's words were essentially Sebastian's words.
