Billionaire’s Unseen Love (Bella and Alex)

Chapter 69

68 Gossip and Gift Boxes Emma, on her way home to unwind, was intercepted by Jada and Bonnie,

eager to grill her about the ongoing drama. They were buzzing with curiosity over Emina’s sudden

closeness to Maxwell, especially given his influence in the industry. Feeling overwhelmed by their

inquisition, Emma didn’t know how to respond. The situation was spiraling, and their curiosity only

compounded her frustration. “Not only Alex, but now Maryann has shared an old photo with you,” Jada

said, showing a social media post to Emma. The gossip was intensifying, and Emma was at the center

of it. Bonnie, intrigued by the post, added fuel to the fire, “Now everyone’s curious about your true

identity. What’s next? Heiress to the Smirnoff empire?” Emma sighed, lamenting her decision to

participate in the magazine shoot. “If I knew it would cause this much hassle, I wouldn’t have done it.‘

Bonnie questioned the necessity of Emma’s involvement, considering the stature of Crown

Entertainment, another company under the Smirnoff umbrella. Emma knew her family’s influence in the

industry, but her involvement wasn’t just about supporting the subsidiary–it was also about helping

Jennifer, the photographer. “Jennifer’s a big name in photography. If you did the shoot just for him,

that’s just bad luck. But if you’re thinking of rekindling things with Alex, I might have to intervene,”

Bonnie half–joked, half- serious. Emma dryly laughed off the notion, having no intention of

reconnecting with Alex. Jada chimed in, “The real issue is your brother’s reaction. And Maryann’s on

her way here–we should leave before she draws a crowd.” Jada recalled an outing with Maryann, how

her fame had turned their day into a chaotic fan evasion. Now, with Maryann approaching, they

anticipated another frenzy. “Let’s leave before it gets too hectic,” Emma suggested, mindful of

Maryann’s fan following. As they prepared to leave, Maryann arrived, displeased at the thought of

being left behind. Her arrival halted their escape. “I heard about your divorce from Alex. Here’s a gift,”

Maryann said, handing Emma a hefty gift box. Inside, Emma found stacks of Maryann’s personal

magazines, featuring interviews and profiles of various male celebrities. It was a comprehensive guide

to the showbiz world. “Are you suggesting I pick someone from here?” Emma asked, wary of

Maryann’s intentions. Maryann confirmed, “Yes, they’re all good options, vetted and discreet. Feel free From NôvelDrama.Org.

to choose a few if you like.” 68 Gossip and Gift Boxes The boldness of Maryann’s gesture stunned

everyone. Jada and Bonnie looked at Emma, wondering how she would handle such an offer. Emma,

taken aback by Maryann’s unconventional gift, faced a conundrum. The box presented a mix of

potential connections and complications in her already tangled personal and professional life.
