Chapter 11 : Glacier Blue Bentley Encounter Chapter 11 : Glacier Blue Bentley Encounter ( Olivia's POV ) The glacier blue Bentley Continental GT gleamed in the morning sunlight , its unique color catching my eye immediately . I had never seen such a stunning shade on a vehicle before - it reminded me of ice crystals reflecting winter light , elegant and breathtaking . Henry Morris stood beside it , his posture perfect as always . Connor's beta assistant was the epitome of professionalism , dressed in an impeccable tailored suit that spoke of his position within the Rivers pack . " It's beautiful , " I whispered , unable to hide my genuine reaction . Henry's usually stoic expression softened slightly . " Mr. Rivers selected this specific color himself . He was quite particular about it . " I approached the vehicle slowly , almost afraid to touch something so pristine . The craftsmanship was exquisite , from the sleek lines to the handcrafted details that made Bentley one of the most prestigious automotive brands in the world . Henry extended his hand , offering me the key with a slight bow . " Miss Winters , this is a gift from Mr. Rivers . " As I accepted the key , a subtle ripple passed through my heart . The cool metal against my palm felt significant somehow , weighted with meaning beyond its function . Connor Rivers ' generosity was undeniable . Such a car cost well over $ 400,000 , yet in our social circle , gifting a luxury vehicle to a fiancée was commonplace . Still , after years of living modestly and cutting myself off from my wealthy Winters family roots , the scale of this gesture felt surreal . My phone rang , and Connor's name flashed on the screen . I answered immediately . " Do you like the car ? " His tone was casual , as if discussing a simple lunch rather than an extravagant gift . " I really like it . Thank you , Con ," I answered gently , running my fingers along the smooth door handle . His voice softened into a mellow caress . " I remembered you like blue . " < Chapter 11 Glacier Blue Bent This surprised me . I couldn't recall ever explicitly telling him about my color preference . 425 Puntos Connor chuckled , the sound warm through the phone . " When I tutored you that notebooks and pens were light blue . " year , all your The detail stirred something deep within me . Indeed , I had always loved blue , and this particular shade on the Bentley had stunned me at first sight . It was exactly the color I would have chosen myself . " The moment I saw this car , I thought you'd like it ," Connor continued warmly . " It's compact , perfect for you . " " I'll try driving it later , " I replied softly , touched by his thoughtfulness . After hanging up , I sat in the driver's seat , my hands resting on the steering wheel . The interior smelled of premium leather and new car , but it was the emotions swirling inside me that overwhelmed my senses . I had a license and plenty of driving experience from these past three years , but I had always driven Ethan's cars - more like a chauffeur than a girlfriend . When Ethan went out drinking , I was summoned to pick him up , regardless of the hour or my own schedule . I'd heard he once gifted his ex - girlfriend Cassandra a BMW worth over $ 80,000 right after their breakup . Yet , knowing my work as a lawyer demanded mobility , he never once considered buying me a car . It was never about the vehicle itself , but about the stark contrast in how he treated me versus how Connor did . To Ethan Grey , my existence never truly warranted such care or respect . This comparison cut painfully deep , exposing just how shabby Ethan's so - called affection really was . A surprised shriek suddenly snapped me from my reverie . " Wow ! This car is so beautiful ! I've always wanted to buy it , but I couldn't bear to spend the money . " It was Cassandra's voice , high - pitched with excitement . Looking out , I saw her and Ethan walking toward the driveway . Cassandra's gaze was glued to the Bentley , openly coveting it . Despite being childhood friends with Ethan and their families once being close , her own family's fortunes had sharply declined in recent years . Her father's business was failing , and now their only hope was her marrying into the Grey family . Faced with her dream car , Cassandra greedily caressed the hood , marveling at every inch of < Chapter 11 : Glacier Blue Bent … the gleaming exterior . +25 Puntos > " Ethan , take a photo of me ," she demanded , fixing her hair against the car's reflective window . The Bentley's glass was one - way ; inside , I observed the scene as if watching from behind a screen . Cassandra posed dramatically , using the car as her personal backdrop without any awareness that I was sitting inside . At the height of her self - admiration , I decided to make my presence known . I lowered the window smoothly , our eyes meeting suddenly . With a sweet smile , I greeted her . " Hello ." Cassandra froze in shock , her mouth falling open . " Olivia Winters ? Why is it you ?! " Her expression shifted rapidly from surprise to confusion to anger . She clearly couldn't comprehend how I could be sitting in the driver's seat of such a luxury vehicle . Just then , Ethan approached , frowning deeply . Without a hint of inquiry about the situation , he immediately assumed the worst . " Why did you rent a Bentley ? " His expression was full of disdain , as if my worth only extended to borrowed luxury . Cassandra , quickly regaining her composure , sneered . " Miss Winters , renting a car just to pose ? A Bentley rental isn't cheap - it must cost you a month's income for a single photo , right ? " Ethan's brow furrowed further , his contempt unfiltered . " Olivia , since when have you become so vain ? Renting a flashy car for pictures ? Are you crazy ? " Cassandra added mockingly , " Yes , Miss Winters , everyone knows your income . Even if you post those photos , people will only say you're pretending . Why bother ? " Their immediate assumption that I couldn't possibly own such a car spoke volumes about how they viewed me . After three years together , Ethan still saw me as someone beneath him , someone who would need to rent luxury items to appear worthy . " You seem very familiar with renting luxury cars , " I responded calmly . " Is it because you've rented them before ? " The smile on Cassandra's face faltered , her lie exposed . Indeed , she had rented a Lamborghini before - worth over $ 100,000 - to show off in her social circle when her father refused to buy her one . But now , she clung to her pride . " I don't need to rent . When I was abroad , I drove a Lamborghini 3/4 < Chapter 11 : Glacier Blue Bent worth much more than this . " +25 Puntos > I quirked a brow , seeing through her facade . " Oh ? How come I haven't seen you driving it ? " Cassandra lied effortlessly , her eyes never wavering . " I got tired of it . Those flashy cars aren't really for women . I recently switched to a Panamera . Maybe I'll let you take photos with it someday , free of charge . " Her tone dripped with scorn . Yet I knew that Panamera was a second - hand purchase to keep up appearances , given her family's financial ruin . The information had come through Connor's network - he had mentioned it casually during one of our conversations , not to gossip but to warn me about her potential desperation . Feigning innocence , I teased , " Oh - is that so ? You wanted some photos earlier , right ? I can lend you this Bentley for a shot . " Cassandra's face darkened immediately . " No need . " Her pride wouldn't allow her to accept anything from me , especially now that she realized the car might actually belong to me . On the sidelines , Ethan's voice pierced coldly once again . " Olivia , why didn't I realize before how vain you really are ? "
