Chapter 887:
“Ladies, please leave!” the security guards said as they began escorting Connie and her husband out.
The staff immediately started cleaning up the mess, and the banquet resumed. Daniel Morgan and Connie were soon forgotten. But as I watched the scene unfold, I couldn’t shake the feeling of discomfort. Today’s events felt eerily similar to what I had experienced many years ago. It was just that Daniel Morgan had replaced Ryan, and I had been replaced by William.
Bella’s POV:
I remembered when my grandfather was seriously ill, and I went to visit him. That was when I happened to meet Ryan and Connie. We had a dispute, and Ryan slapped me to the ground. I used all my strength to fight back, but at that time, I was no match for them.
Today, however, William wasn’t hurt at all. On the contrary, he had taught both of them a lesson.
First of all, William was a man, and he was very strong. Secondly, William had started his own business, and it was said that he had been in great shape recently.
Therefore, if I didn’t want others to bully me, I had to make myself stronger.
“Dear, what are you thinking about?”
An arm suddenly wrapped around my shoulder. I looked up to find Herbert standing in front of me, holding a white crystal trophy in his hand.
“What’s this?” I asked, staring at the trophy.
Seeing my confused expression, Herbert flicked my forehead with his fingers and said, “What are you thinking? Didn’t you see your husband go up to the stage to receive this award?”
Hearing this, I came back to my senses.
“Is this the trophy for the top ten business elites in A City?”
Herbert shook his head in amusement.
“Look at other people’s wives. They’re so proud of their husbands for receiving this trophy, and here you are, completely distracted and not paying any attention to me!”
I knew I was caught off guard, so I quickly took his arm and tried to make up for it.
“I’m proud of you, too! It’s just that I’m not surprised you received the top 10 business elite award in A City. You’re powerful, and I believe you’ll get the national top 10 business elite trophy one day.”
Herbert laughed.
“That’s a lot of pressure all of a sudden.”
I grinned.
“Heh, there’s motivation only when there’s pressure.”
