My Quick-witted Baby (Arabella and Kenneth) novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19
After all, Caitlin was experienced, so she could not make things so tense at a birthday party. She recomposed herself and then held Arabella's little hand, "Bella, it's our fault..."
She took the initiative to apologize and admit her mistake. If Arabella did not allow her to escape this embarrassing situation, she would again be a victim of public opinion again.
It was a pity that Arabella understood the truth that Caitlin knew. Caitlin wanted to continue the act, but Arabella wished to undermine her. So, Arabella quickly withdrew her little hand. "It's all because of me that everyone's so unhappy. You guys have fun. I'm leaving."
Arabella left sensibly.
Caitlin's hand froze in mid-air and she did not retract it. This time, she was really going to vomit blood!
...
Arabella walked out of the hall and took out her mobile phone. At this moment, Aurora had sent her a Line message. [How was it? Did you crash the party?]
[Arabella: Yes. ]
[Aurora: Bella, you're so awesome!]
Arabella returned to Hardgrad from the countryside and had already asked Aurora to keep an eye on Caitlin's activities in the entertainment industry. This time, Aurora told her right away that Caitlin pulled some strings to buy the MOO princess dress.
Arabella looked at the time, and Leia's birthday was coming soon. Although she did not know Caitlin's plans, she had already asked Aurora to replace the MOO princess dress with a fake one.
Aurora was now one of the four hottest actresses in the entertainment industry. Foreign media had even commented that her appearance was the pinnacle of domestic entertainment. She could look seductive, enchanting, ethereal, and sweet. In short, she was the idol of many people who valued appearance.
Therefore, Aurora had been endorsed by all kinds of luxury brands since her debut. She was the global spokesperson of MOO, and she was the first to wear the new products of each season.
Aurora's agent and team were all top-notch, so it was effortless to replace Caitlin's MOO princess dress with a fake.
Arabella sent a sticker that said, 'Here's a flower for you'. At this moment, her footsteps slowed down and stopped.
A handsome figure approached her, and it was Melvin Spencer.
The Spencer family was one of the four giants of Hardgrad. Back then, the Spencer and Snyder family were even friends. When Arabella's mother was still alive, Arabella had an arranged marriage of minors with the Spencer family. Back then, Melvin was Arabella's fiancé.
Melvin wore a British-style trench coat, making him look handsome and warm. Then, he also stopped and looked at her.
Arabella put away her phone. She did not stop walking, she passed him and wanted to continue walking.
However, Melvin reached out and grabbed her slender wrist, "What's wrong? Bella, are you pretending that you don't know me?"
Arabella withdrew her wrist forcefully. "I have nothing to say to you."
She would never forget that he was the witness who came forward when her grandfather fell down the stairs ten years ago. He said he watched her push her grandfather down with his own eyes!
Melvin was a very warm big brother in Arabella's memory. They had known each other since childhood, and they were childhood sweethearts. Back then, Mommy was still alive, and she liked Melvin very much.
Mommy would hold her in one hand and Melvin in the other. Then, she would take them out to play together.
Melvin was a genius in the business world. Over the years, the Spencer family had monopolized the medical market and had become one of the four giants of Hardgrad.
Melvin looked at Arabella. "Bella, if you don't want to talk to me, who do you want to talk to? That guy from Floweret Garden?"
"Melvin, this is my personal business, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Bella, I'm your fiancé."
"Why do I remember returning the Spencer family's engagement token to you when you came forward and pushed me into the abyss ten years ago?"
Arabella would never forget the feeling of being stabbed in the back by someone close to her. Melvin's testimony left her speechless, and it felt like she was in an abyss. This also changed her destiny.
Their relationship ended the day she returned the engagement token to him.
Melvin frowned, a sinister arc appeared on the corners of his lips. "Bella, you are mine. Why do you want to marry that guy from Floweret Garden? Can that guy satisfy you?"
Arabella raised her hand and slapped Melvin hard across the face.
With great strength, Arabella slapped Melvin's handsome face sideways.
The atmosphere between the two became silent and stagnant.
Arabella clenched her fist. "Melvin, you are not like this in my memory. Leave a little kindness for yourself, don't let yourself become such a horrible person."
Melvin turned his handsome face, his expression gloomy and cold. "Arabella, don't pretend to be pure and innocent in front of me. I forgot that you are already dirty, and I don't want a woman who's been with other men."
"..."
Arabella thought that Melvin was a little neurotic. How was she dirty? He changed girlfriends like he changed clothes in the past few years, and yet she still did not think of him as dirty!
"By the way, there is one more thing. I already have a new fiancée, and you also know her."
Arabella really had no interest in who his fiancée was, but after hearing him say that, Arabella had a guess.
At this time, many people came over. Then, Leia's sweet figure jumped directly into Melvin's arms. "Melvin, you are here. I have been waiting for you for so long. I thought you were not coming.
Melvin regained his noble and gentle demeanor. Then, he reached out and squeezed Leia's face, "You dummy, how would I not come to your birthday party? This is my birthday present to you."
Melvin had a diamond necklace in his hand, and then, he put the diamond necklace directly around Leia's neck. "Do you like this birthday present?"
Leia's eyes lit up. At a glance, she knew this diamond necklace was worth a lot of money. "Wow, I like it so much. Melvin, thank you."
Leia stood on tiptoe and gave Melvin a quick kiss.
Seth and Caitlin were here. The Spencer family was the top giant in Hardgrad, and Melvin's sudden arrival at Leia's birthday party would be tomorrow's entertainment news headlines.
Seth got rid of the haze of the recent days and said with a somewhat flattering smile, "Mr. Spencer, Leia has been waiting for you at her party, and she's been inattentive this entire time."
Melvin put Leia in his arms, "Mr. Snyder, I have asked the secretary to invest in the Snyder Medical Group. If there is any difficulty in the future, you can directly mention it to me."
Melvin eased the Snyder Medical Group's funding shortfall.
Caitlin straightened her back, and she looked radiant. Then, she deliberately looked at Arabella. "Bella, I forgot to introduce you. Mr. Spencer is now Leia's fiancé. You will give your blessing to Mr. Spencer and Leia, right?"
Only then did Arabella know the most important reason why Seth was willing to spend money on Leia's birthday party. It was because Leia had helped him bag a wealthy son-in-law.
Arabella looked at Melvin, and she saw the lust for revenge in Melvin's eyes.
Melvin was now Leia's fiancé, and the eyes of these VIPs at the scene changed. Now, they were all filled with all kinds of envy and flattery.
"Mr. Spencer and Miss Leia are a match made in heaven. We should just let the bygones be bygones."
