Belle shook her head. She had only wanted to frighten Yana earlier and had no intention of actually telling Charlie what she had

“Mr. Landor, I know that Adam is caught up at work. A small event like a wedding can easily be managed by me alone,” Belle said calmly.

“You alone?” Charlie was a little surprised.

He had thought Belle was just venting her frustration.

But as he observed her carefully, Belle’s gaze was clear, and her words were sincere. She truly meant what she said.

Belle nodded and was about to continue when a well–dressed woman nearby spoke kindly. “It’s not right to let the bride handle the wedding alone. Adam’s being very inappropriate this time.”

Charlie glanced at the woman, and he immediately frowned.

Belle also looked over.

Belle recognized that this woman was Penelope Landor, Adam’s stepmother.

Belle knew that Adam was the only person she could rely on after she married into the Landor family.

How could she agree with Penelope?

Realizing that, Belle immediately said, “Mrs. Landor, the wedding is just a ceremony and not as important as it seems. Neither Adam nor me care about it, so there’s no need to trouble you.”
