Keeping the Evidence

Ella's lips curled in a cold smirk. These women were truly fearless, but… she wasn't about to swallow this insult without a fight.

She stepped out, washed her hands at the sink, and then casually took out her phone, her smile laced with icy indifference.

"You shouldn't say that about me—someone might overhear," one woman cautioned.

"You're Bella's cousin. Whoever dares to spread these words is asking for trouble!" another woman retorted fiercely.

Bella giggled, her voice as sweet as a songbird's. "Mr. Nelson is a good man, but unfortunately, there's no fate between us. Miss Davis, though... she's careless. I really don't think their personalities match well, but let's hope their relationship lasts."

Bella's manipulative nature was on full display. Her words sounded polite on the surface, but subtly hinted that Ella would eventually be discarded by Eric.
