Chapter 406 This Woman Is Not Easy To Deal With


    Lottie looked at her seriously. Her eyes were filled with joy as she finally let her guard down and all her


    worries were washed away. Their friendship meant the world to Lottie.


    "Lottie had to admit it, Belle was much braver and dedicated when it came to love."


    "When she fell in love with Calvin, she loved without any restraint. However, when she decided to give


    up, she ran away from him as far as she could. No matter how hard he pursued her again, she was


    indifferent towards him. She stuck to her decisions, no matter what."


    "Compared to Belle, Lottie who saw herself as a master of love had to admit, she suffered a lot


    because of her concerns and hesitations."


    "Thinking about this, Lottie let out a deep sigh."


    "However, you should still thank me. If it weren''t for me, how could you get to know such an excellent


    man like Rhys? Belle smiled."


    "Lottie blushed. She held Belle''s hand and said with a serious tone, ""I''m really d you think that


    way. In fact, I''ve been feeling uneasy these days. We''ve been best friends growing up and I don''t wish


    for us to grow distant just because of some misunderstanding. You have no idea how happy I was for


    you when I saw you walking down the aisle with Calvin. Now that we''ve cleared things up between us,


    we''re still going to be best friends."""


    "Of course, Belle quickly replied with excitement. There are seven billion people in the world, but Lottie


    was the only friend who meant the world to her. They had always been truthful to each other. Such an


    understanding was rare to have. Belle''s eyes welled up with tears as she took Lottie''s hand and said


    affectionately, ""Lottie, we''re going to be best friends for life. If everything works out, I would like our


    children to marry each other."""


    Nothing would make me happier. Lottie squealed with delight as her eyes welled up with tears.


    They held each other''s hands tightly.


    "Come on, let''s have a toast. To our never-ending friendship. Their sses clinked and made a crisp


    sound."


    They smiled at each other.


    "Then, they heard the sound of a pair of high heels approaching them. It was faint and delicate, but


    quick and impatient as if the owner of the heels held a grudge against the floor."


    "It was ruthless, precise, and fast."


    "The sound smashed into Belle''s eardrums as if the heels were stepping on her heart, which made her


    feel ufortable and disturbed. "


    She furrowed her brows as she turned towards the direction of the sound.


    It was a woman with wavy hair and delicate features. Her evening gown made her look beautiful and


    charming.


    She was walking towards them with a smile on her face.


    Belle and Lottie looked at each other.


    "It was a modest smile, but Belle could feel an inexplicable unease from her expression. The


    atmosphere was cloaked with a sense of restlessness and danger."


    "Lottie, Mrs. Harvey, d that I could meet you here. I''vee to propose a toast. Zoe spoke


    courteously with a smile hanging on her face as she walked towards them."


    Who was this woman?


    "Belle didn''t know who she was. So, she looked at Lottie. She thought maybe Lottie would have the


    answer since she was the head of the cafeteria and had met many people."


    "Lottie let out augh, stood up holding her ss, and said in a carefree manner, ""Miss Yates, you''re


    here. I''ve heard all about the extraordinary woman president of the Sky Sword Group."""


    Belle understood as soon as Lottie introduced Zoe''s title purposefully. "So this is the head of the Sky


    Sword Group." She thought.


    "She was a little surprised. It seemed that A City was really a ce full of hidden talents. Even the


    women were more capable, one after another."


    "Even though Sky Sword Group and Jones Group had merged, their power was still far less than the


    Harvey family at the moment. However, they cannot be underestimated."


    "With a clink, Lottie and Zoe had already finished the wine in their sses."


    "Here, Mrs. Harvey. Zoe picked up a wine ss from the table and poured Lottie and herself another


    ss. Then, she handed a ss to Belle and said with admiration, ""Mrs. Harvey, you are indeed as


    beautiful and as virtuous as people say. You''re so much more beautiful in person than you are on the


    television. I''ve heard a lot about you. I also hope that the great and powerful Harvey Group would show


    some mercy towards smallpanies like us. Cheers."""


    She clinked her ss against Belle''s and gulped all the wine down.


    "This woman could really drink! Belle thought. She drank both sses of wine without even blinking.


    However, on such an asion, she should have already drank far more than just these two sses,


    yet she looked calm and confident still."


    "I''ve long heard that Miss Yates is straightforward and capable. Now that I''ve seen it for myself, I''m


    impressed. Belle smiled politely and downed hers too."


    "She was never good at drinking. So, she felt a little dizzy after downing a whole ss of wine. What''s


    more, she had just finished one with Lottie."


    "Mrs. Harvey, I heard that you went back to work at Harvey Group. What good news! It looks like


    Harvey Group is heading towards an even brighter future. Do look after us, will you, Ms. Morris? Zoe


    filled up their sses once more."


    "Belle''s head was a little dizzy, but it would be rude of her to refuse such a sincere toast."


    "However, if she drank it, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold on and things would go bad


    if Calvin came looking for her."


    She looked at her ss and frowned slightly. This won''t be easy.


    "Just then, Lottie took her ss, smiled, and said, ""Miss Yates, Ms. Morris is feeling a little


    ufortable today. Please, allow me."""


    "Lottie downed the wine, showed Zoe the empty ss, and taunted her. ""Are you satisfied, Miss


    Yates?"""


    "She was obviously trying to get Zoe to leave, indicating that she was not weed. It would be


    indiscreet for her to continue."


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Zoe, of course, understood what Lottie meant. She immediately smiled and said, ""You can really


    drink, Miss Cohen. We should meet up for a drink some other day."""


    Of course. You''re wee toe to my cafeteria anytime. Lottie answered politely. She would never


    say no to whoever was willing to spend their money in her cafeteria.


    Zoe let out a faint smile.


    I''m sorry for disturbing you guys. I''ll take my leave.


    She left gracefully.


    "She''s not someone you''d want to mess with, Lottie muttered as she watched Zoe strode off calmly


    and confidently."


    How could you tell? Belle asked anxiously as she recovered from the situation.


    Intuition. Lottie narrowed her eyes. "I''ve seen countless people. I know I''m right. There''s something


    devilish about her."


    "When Belle heard this, she couldn''t help but to burst intoughter. ""Didn''t you say that about men? I


    didn''t know you had a thing for women too."""


    "Trust me. I''m a good judge of character. I have to hand it to her. She was fTristaness facing you. With


    such a smallpany, she still had the confidence to propose a toast to you, Lottie said worriedly."


    "Was it a threat? Belle''s heart skipped a beat. s, she thought Zoe was showing respect to both of


    them!"


    "You know what, let''s just forget it. Such a wonderful banquet, yet we got disturbed by this woman. How


    disappointing. Come on, we''re not done chatting. Lottie threw Zoe at the back of her head. She


    suddenly thought of something and asked in a low and mysterious voice, ""Do you know if Madam


    Lilian will being tonight?"""


    "Madam Lilian? Belle thought for a while and said, ""The famous Madam Lilian Bet?"""


    "Yes, that''s her. Lottie pped her hands and said softly, ""She had other matters to attend to today,


    but due to her rtionship with Mr. Hawk, she decided toe anyway. It won''t be for long though,


    maybe for two or three hours."""


    "I see. Belle said faintly, then asked curiously, ""What about it? Are you interested even in olddies


    now?"""


    "Belle stared at Lottie. In the past, she was only interested in men, but how she started showing


    concern towards older women. The power of love, as strange as it seems, can change a person in an


    instant."


    "You don''t know about this, do you? Let me tell you, it''s rare for Mr. Hawk to be able to invite Madam


    Lilian over. Such a character could only be seen over the television and now you get a chance to meet


    her in person, Lottie said excitedly."


    I didn''t expect you to still pursue a celebrity at this age. Belle gave her a side-eye with a slight disdain


    in her tone.


    "I never pursued celebrities, but for a woman to be able to achieve such powerful political status, it''s a


    feat. I admire her. What''s wrong with that? Lottie eximed."


    "You''re being childish. Belle let out a sigh and put her arms on the white round table and looked Lottie


    in the eyes. ""So, what does this have to do with us? What''s there for us to be excited about? Have you


    been living under a rock?"""


    "Lottie didn''t know how to refute and her excitement washed away. Not only was she not able to fight


    back, but she also became more sharp-tongued ever since she remarried. That''s a new side of Belle


    she hadn''t seen."
