Fiancé...?!
Bella’s heart skipped a beat, and her eyes widened, staring directly at Wyatt.
Justin’s eyes brimmed with infinite tension and concern, his body tense like a drawn bow, as if he might dash forward any second to grab Bella’s hand and leave, disregarding everything else.
Gregory and members of the Hoffman family also looked extremely pale, especially Zoe. Her heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was going to burst out of her chest.
Zoe stared anxiously and maliciously at Bella, her mouth dripping with contempt as she said, “Oh my, Ms. Thompson actually has a fiancé?! I wonder which young master is so lucky to marry into the Thompson family.”
Gregory gritted his teeth fiercely. “Regardless of who she is betrothed to, it will never be someone from my family!”
Zoe smirked upon hearing this.
Wilson Jr.’s expression visibly darkened. He felt that Wyatt was just trying to save her from this situation and looking for excuses to placate her.
On the racecourse, he could see that Bella and Justin were close, but back in Meridan’s upper-class society, he had seen too many of these romantic affairs. They were merely having an affair.
If Justin was really her fiancé, Wyatt would have long made it public after that incident at the racecourse. Why wait until now to bring it up?
Wilson, on the other hand, remained composed, smiling as he asked, “Ms. Thompson, you already have a fiancé? That’s truly delightful news. I wonder who the lucky man is.”
Curiosity surged among the onlookers.
Wyatt smiled lightly, his gaze suddenly drifting toward Justin.
Following his line of sight, Wilson Jr. also looked over, knowing whom he was looking at. His gums were sore from clenching his teeth.
“OMG! Justin! Am I seeing things? Or is Chairman Thompson looking at you?!” Ryan pinched his throat, shaking Justin’s arm wildly like an over-caffeinated groundhog.
Justin felt his breathing quicken. Fine beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and his voice was low as he said, “Don’t read too much into it. Chairman Thompson may just be using this as an excuse to reject Wilson Jr.’s advances.”
