Chapter 1150
Christopher turned away from Bella, his expression sour as he
adjusted his glasses.
Justin stood next to Bella, his thin lips tightly pressed together. He wanted to intervene, but he could never match her quick wit. Even if he were to intervene now, wouldn’t that just make him act like Christopher, the type of person Ryan couldn’t stand?
“Bella, how are you feeling? Does your back still hurt?” Wyatt asked, ignoring his daughter’s sarcasm. He was more worried about her physical well-being.
“You’re so stubborn. You should have gone to the hospital right after the fall! Asher and Zachary will take care of Whistle. You don’t need to handle everything on your own. You’re just like your mother. No one can stop her if she puts her mind to something! Asher, get Scott on the line immediately and ask him to take Bella to the hospital. Also, arrange for experts to personally attend to her!”
But Asher was very tactful and didn’t get involved.
The young couple wanted some privacy, and he respected her wishe
not to intrude. It’s best to acknowledge their desires.
“No need. I’m fine with just Justin accompanying me,” Bella said as
she boldly intertwined her fingers with Justin’s, her gaze meeting his,
leaving no room for anyone else in her intense gaze.
“Dad, I just want to remind you that real fighters don’t chase fame.
Who was the first one to gather evidence today, apprehend the culprit,
and endure intense pressure for me? Who helped Whistle and our family pursue justice? And who did all of this without seeking credit from you? I hope you can tell right from wrong and not be influenced by others’ opinions. Don’t ruin your reputation and become a joke!”
With that said, Bella lifted her lovely and radiant face, pulled Justin along by his hand, and swiftly walked past Wyatt and Christopher.
Christopher felt a wave of sadness as he watched Bella leave with Justin. He clenched his fists, feeling hurt and resentful.
As Justin walked past Wyatt, he hurriedly bowed to show respect. His awkward and stiff demeanor was somewhat amusing.
“That cheeky girl. She’s out of control!” Wyatt observed them leave with astonishment, refraining from intervening as he just pointed at his daughter’s head and exclaimed “Whoever is unlucky enough to marry you in the future will have quite a handful with that sharp tongue of yours!”
Asher and Celeste could not stop laughing after hearing this. Th were times when a man wanted to be “unlucky” but had no cha
Seeing Bella get into Justin’s car and leave, hatred and unwillingne hit Christopher’s chest like a violent storm, making his eyes turn re
However, he quickly regained his composure, furrowing his brows as he gazed at Wyatt. “Uncle Wyatt, I take the blame for not acting promptly today. I failed to thoroughly investigate in time and allowed
you and Bella to get into such a difficult situation.”
“Don’t be so hard on yourself, young man. You’ve already handled it very well. If you hadn’t intervened when you did, Bella might have faced even worse bullying from that girl in the Hoffman family.”

Wyatt’s attitude towards him remained warm and supportive.
“If only I had done things differently, maybe Bella would have noticed me more. Then you wouldn’t have had to go through all this trouble for us.” Christopher expressed his deep guilt as he looked down.
“Christopher, I recognize all the efforts you’ve put into helping Bella,” Wyatt said after a brief pause. There was meaning behind his gaze as he earnestly said, “But remember that feelings cannot be forced.”
Christopher’s pupils shrank suddenly, his heart skipping a beat! ‘What
does he mean?’
