The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1649

Steven solemnly nodded and pulled out a stack of documents from his briefcase, handing them out to the board members one by one.

“A confidentiality agreement?!” The group was surprised, feeling somewhat embarrassed. They could not help but question, “Ms. Thompson, what do you mean by this? We’ve all been your father’s partners for many years, and we have accompanied him through thick and thin. Do you really distrust us like this? Are you looking down on us?”

Bella’s gaze remained steady and composed. She calmly replied, “Gentlemen, you’re overreacting. My intention is solely to protect my father, the KS Group, and the board of directors to the fullest extent. It has nothing to do with respect or disrespect. The confidentiality agreement is merely a safeguard. It restrains those with ulterior motives. You’re not just my father’s business partners. You all are his friends as well. I trust that none of you would do anything to tarnish my father’s reputation. This agreement is just to ensure nothing goes wrong. Otherwise, we wouldn’t need to sign any contracts when discussing business, would we?”

Bella’s opinion was taken into consideration. There was no reason for anyone not to sign. Otherwise, wouldn’t they fit her definition of “those with ulterior motives”?

Soon, all the confidentiality agreements were signed. Steven’s eyebrows furrowed as he leaned down to whisper in Bella’s ear, “Ms. Bella, Cameron is not here.”

“I know. Don’t worry. We’ll deal with that later,” Bella replied, her eyes darkening.

With all the agreements collected, the directors had already lost their patience. They did not even bother to greet Bella before heading for the door.

“Now that all the directors have signed, I must remind you,” Bella said, turning her chair to face away from them, her voice icy. “KS Group has very strict rules and regulations. The most important one is that, as board members, none of you can harm KS Group’s interests. Any violation of these rules will result in immediate expulsion from the board, with no possibility of reappointment. Do you all understand?”

A heavy silence fell over the board members, feeling as if a weight had settled on their chests. They had nothing to say and hurriedly left.

The meeting room returned to silence.

In an instant, Bella felt as if all her strength had drained away. She covered her face with her hands, her slender waist bending slowly.
