Chapter 112 A Treacherous Banquet

"No, you don't understand! That's not a lipstick! That's a red paint!" Peter denied it firmly. To assure Bella, he stepped forward and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"Bella, don't you know that you are the only woman in my heart? Just you. Till death do us part."

Bella tried to free herself from Peter's arms but failed. Her anger started to melt with Peter's powerful embrace.

"You cannot fool me with your sweet words! Forget it! If I am nothing to you, that's fine! Let go of me!"

"No! I won't let you go!" Peter was somewhat relieved and tried to change the topic. "By the way, Bella, did the hitman show up recently? Do you have any clue about him?"

When he spoke, he moved closer to Bella to savor her sweet fragrance. As he lowered his head, his eyes feasted on what he saw. It hypnotized him.

"No." Bella shook her head and said worriedly,"10 million dollars for my death. Am I really worth that much? Who wants my life and why?"

The thought of the hitman diverted Bella's attention from Peter's romantic affairs. She looked angry and afraid.

The hitman already killed her grandfather. Now, they also wanted her killed. The big problem was, who he was and why he wanted to kill her. She felt so distressed.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know. Don't push yourself too hard. What's important is, you have me. Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you. Not even that hitman."

Peter assured Bella and promised her his protection.

He meant to keep his promise.

"Um." Bella nodded. She took a look at her watch and said,"I will have lunch with some friends. Come with me. I will introduce you to them. It's good for you to make more friends.

They are prominent persons in Golden City. A relationship with them could help you someday. The first impression is very important. Let us get you some new clothes."

Bella was shaping Peter's future career. She was always mindful and considerate of his future.

"Good." Peter agreed. He could not refuse Bella's kindness.

They left right away. Peter drove the car while Bella sat beside him.

She changed from her formal wear to a more casual red knitted sweater. She wore tight pants that added charm to her per

uard who depended on a woman. Even if he was now the director, he was nothing compared to these powerful people. And he bragged about his career and position. It was hilarious.

They looked at Peter with contempt and belittled him. They laughed at his ignorance. What a ridiculous guy!

The woman was shocked for a while. When she came to her senses, she took the business card and introduced herself. "My name is Judy Su, Bella's good friend. Nice to meet you and I would appreciate your help."

She wanted to laugh, but she controlled herself when she sensed Peter's embarrassment. She did not want to offend Peter and Bella.

She tried not to laugh, which was hard. She was really a caring and sensitive woman.

"Of course, call me if you need help. I like helping people," Peter reminded as he sat beside Bella.

Bella pinched him and gave him a scolding look for his reckless remarks. Poised and elegant, she introduced them one by one.

"Peter, let me introduce my friends. Allen Zhang, Barry Guo, Cliff Xu, Bess Zhu and Judy Su.

They are all extraordinary talents in Golden City. You can learn a lot from them."

She then introduced Peter. "The Director of Security Department of Silverland Group, Peter Wang. He is also my boyfriend. He is naive, but he is a sincere person. Hope you would become friends."

She was very courteous and even filled everyone's glasses herself. "Peter, why not propose a toast for our distinguished friends?"
