Chapter 93 -93: In the Spotlight, Expressing Hidden Affection
“Bella, can you promise me one thing?”
Sienna Warren seemed to muster a great deal of courage as she stepped out from behind Oliver Hughes to face Bella Woods.
“I don’t mind you using screenshots like this to slander me.”
After saying this, Sienna wore a slightly aggrieved yet pretending-to-be-strong smile.
Moreover, the angle at which she tilted her face was just right for most of the people in the audience to see her expression.
It could be said that every word, every action, and even the arc of her raised eyebrows were meticulously designed.
Bella Woods did not respond, nor did she expose her, merely watching Sienna perform in silence.
Sienna wiped her tears, “I’ve been friends with Oliver for so many years. My biggest wish is for Oliver to marry a wife worthy of his love.”
While Sienna was speaking, Bella Woods kept looking down at Ashton Marshall in the audience.
He had said that this battle needed to be fought by her alone.
But he would be there for her.
He stood there silently, watching her, and when she looked at him, he seemed to sense it and met her gaze, encouraging her with his eyes.
In the spotlight, they conveyed the utmost implicit affection.
Bella Woods looked away and faced Sienna again, “It seems Miss Warren has deep feelings for Oliver.”
Sienna frowned, sensing something wrong with Bella’s words, but could not find fault with them.
Bella Woods didn’t give her a chance to continue speaking, stepping forward, “Because Miss Warren’s feelings for Oliver are so strong that you can’t be satisfied with just being friends with Oliver, but there is me, his fiancée, in the way, so you have to deal with me.
Only if I don’t show up at the engagement banquet can you come to the stage as a rescuer. And only if I elope with someone else can you completely eradicate any relationship between me and Oliver Hughes!”
“What are you talking about?” Sienna looked greatly hurt.
“I already gave you the chance to perform just now, but clearly…” Bella Woods shook her head, “Your acting is poor, and your methods are nothing but the same. Sienna, with such abilities, you think you can climb up?”
Bella Woods shook her head, even showing disdain in her eyes.
Sienna was greatly shocked, almost blurting out, ‘Are you actually looking at me with disdain?’
Bella Woods had nothing more to say to her and turned her head to look at the big screen, just coincidentally meeting Oliver Hughes’s eyes, capturing the surprise in them.
As for what Oliver was surprised about, Bella Woods didn’t know and didn’t care to find out.
She didn’t even hate him, let alone felt any curiosity or urge to explore about the man.
And as Bella Woods turned her head to look at the screen, it immediately showed a scene of Bella in a secret room, her hands and feet bound, surrounded by several muscular men bare-chested.
Holly Watson was frantically saying something beside her.
“You tied me up just for Sienna?”
“Yes! I can overlook the humiliation you’ve given me, but I will never let go of the fact that you’ve taken Sienna’s love!”
“But doesn’t everyone say that Oliver and Sienna are just friends?”
“That’s only because you stood between them, occupying the position of Oliver’s fiancée, forcing Sienna to grudgingly accept being a friend.”
“So you’re willing to bear a criminal charge for Sienna’s love?”
“What’s a criminal charge? My family has influence; they’ll sort it out for me. Besides…”
Upon saying this, Holly Watson’s eyes turned sinister, “I have a way to make sure that after you walk out of this secret room today, you won’t dare to report to the police.”
…
The conversation between Bella Woods and Holly Watson in the secret room was broadcasted through a microphone to the entire audience.
The venue fell silent, everyone wearing varied expressions.
Such dirty deeds were not unheard of in the circle, there were even worse cases, but never had anything like this been exposed so openly.
Moreover, with that person standing in the audience, who dared to express an opinion?

Who dared to stop this farce?
No one!
With the Third Young Master Marshall shielding her, everyone watched the drama unfold, cautiously thinking about whether they should voice support for Bella Woods in exposing the affair, carefully pondering whether at the right moment to speak up for Bella Woods!
The screen shifted once more.
Bella Woods evidently struggled, but ultimately fell to the ground, powerless, as several half-naked, burly men eyed her menacingly.
It wasn’t hard to guess what she intended to do.
Holly Watson was speaking…
“I didn’t want to go to such extremes.”
“But Sienna was concerned, fearing Oliver’s unpredictable nature. What if you fawned over him and begged for forgiveness, and he forgave you? What would Sienna do then?”
“She gave up a relationship for me, so I must shield her.”
The video ended with a group of bodyguards kicking the door open and subduing those men.
The image froze there.
Bella Woods faced Sienna, about to speak, but Oliver Hughes had already rushed up, seizing Sienna’s arm.
“Didn’t I say just to teach her a lesson by locking her up, you…”
“Oliver Hughes!”
Daniel Hughes could no longer tolerate it, slamming the table and standing up, “What kind of nonsense did you pull off!”
Daniel rushed over, only to be stopped by Ashton Marshall, “Brother-in-law, this is Little Bella’s affair.”
“But this bastard…”
“Little Bella knows how to handle it,” Ashton reminded.
Daniel, however, caught the underlying meaning in Ashton’s words, after some thought, realized Bella was rescued by Ashton.
But with Ashton’s stature, why save Bella Woods?
Including just now, Ashton lowering himself, bending to welcome Bella Woods in, clearly placing her in a high position, escorting her to the stage.
Including now, standing below the stage, Ashton’s stance was one of protection.
As the CEO of Marshall Clan Group, someone everyone revered, Third Young Master Marshall humbled himself so low for a young girl.
A little thought quickly revealed their relationship wasn’t simple.
Compared to Oliver Hughes’s assholery, now the ambiguous relationship between Ashton Marshall and Bella Woods made Daniel feel even more uneasy.
On stage, Oliver Hughes, however, had no mind to pay attention to Daniel and Ashton’s side.
He held on to Sienna, demanding an answer from her.
Sienna was bewildered too, unexpectedly Holly’s plans failing so utterly left evidence being recorded like this.
Still claiming to have done it for her…
Simply ridiculous!
“Oliver, you, you listen to me!” Sienna quickly reacted, “I didn’t know about this, I’m just as in the dark as you are, but I didn’t know Holly would do this…”
“Ah, wasn’t it because at the freshman ceremony Bella Woods didn’t give Holly face, so she bore a grudge and found this opportunity to mess with Bella Woods. Saying such things on purpose, so if anything happened, she could push the blame on me like now.”
Sienna found a good excuse, pushing everything onto Holly Watson.
As for Sienna shifting everything onto Holly Watson, Bella Woods’s lips curved into a preplanned smile imperceptibly.
She even deliberately added fuel to the fire, “Holly just kept saying, it was all for Sienna, to protect her, she said so to me.”
