NovelOnlineChapter 435 When Bella got home, she was burning up with a fever that hit 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Being strapped for cash, she hesitated to go to the hospital, fearing the bills more than the illness.
Reflecting on this, Ivy sighed and said, "You're always worrying about her, but does she ever worry about you? You can't even mention setting Jane up without her worrying it'll be a bother to you..." "Jane? Setting up what now?" Before she could finish, the bedroom door swung open, and Summer stepped in, clad in a limited edition dress, her curiosity piqued.

But now that the cat was out of the bag, Bella shot Ivy a warning look to keep quiet, then beckoned Summer over with a smile. "We were just talking about tomorrow's dinner. I suggested inviting Jane to join us, maybe set her up with someone." At the mention of Jane, Summer's fists clenched tightly, her teeth practically grinding together. Jane, that thorn in her side, had been a constant nuisance for the past two years. And to think, Jane and Bella barely knew each other, having met only twice, yet Bella seemed to have taken a liking to her.
The more Summer thought about it, the more it irked her. Yet, she masked her displeasure with a practiced smile, sitting beside Bella and asking softly, “Set her up? Mom, has Ms. Webster ever been part of our social circles? Won't she feel out of place at the dinner?" Her concern seemed genuine, but inside, she wished Jane would disappear. For sreason, Summer felt like Jane was her bad luck charm, always causing her plans to go awry.
Bella, feeling guilty for not spending enough twith Summer, reassured her without a second thought, "Not at all, dear. Jane's been to plenty of international film festivals with Dave. A dinner party will be a breeze for her." "I suppose you're right." Summer forced a smile, her frustration brewing beneath the surface. If Jane 1/3 didn't take the hint and kept hovering around Bella, she'd have to take matters into her own hands. She had missed out on the Myers family's connection, but she wouldn't let Bella, a much bigger opportunity, slip through her fingers.
As soon as I hung up the phone, Christine leaned in, her curiosity piqued by my smile. "What's the good news?" "Ms. Taylor wants to helpnetwork." I put my phone down. "She's invitedto join her at a dinner party tomorrow." "That's fantastic!" Christine shared my excitement. "I've been worrying about how to launch your career here. Sure, we can flaunt our awards, but it always feels like we're missing something." "Those who spend big on custom pieces are looking for prestige, and approaching them directly might not always work in our favor." Christine was analytical about our strategy. "Being seen with Bella could be the break we need. You won't even need to introduce yourself; people will naturally want to know more about you." I agreed. "That's what I was thinking." I had assumed it might take until the end of the month's award ceremony to make a mark here. But now, it seemed I wouldn't have to wait that long.
The next afternoon, I got ready early, applying makeup to cover a small cut near my lip, and slipped into a one- shoulder mermaid dress designed by Dave. It looked simple at first glance, but the intricate details demanded attention.
Then, Christine, Ike, and I headed downstairs. I had arranged with Ike the night before to take him to a newly opened superhero-themed restaurant while I attended the dinner.
