Lance’s words only rubbed Bella the wrong way. “Chairman Iverson, do you know what’s the one thing I regret the most? It was saving Charles.”
Lance gritted his teeth in shock and scowled.
“What’s wrong with you, Bella? You’re like a daughter to Lance. How could you say such a thing?” Wyatt’s anger reached a limit. Bella was acting rather strange.
“Please try to relax, Chairman Thompson,” Justin said.
Justin put his arm around Bella’s waist, tipping her onto his firm chest. “Please do not think Bella is just acting up. She has a reason to talk harshly, and you’ll understand why after the event.”
Bella looked up at Justin, their gazes meeting.
All her boiling emotions simmered when she looked deep into his eyes.
“It’s between our families, Mr. Salvador. I doubt it has anything to do with you.”
Lance did not see the need to extend any courtesy to Justin. He said grimacingly, “Besides, what are you trying to say? What did Charles ever do to you? Watch your language.”
Justin kept to himself and stared at Lance with a pretentious smile. Justin’s calm eyes sent a chill down Lance’s spine.
Meanwhile, Zoe grimaced at Justin and Bella in jealousy. The fact that the couple looked good together ate her up inside.
Justin and Bella were gone for a long time. Zoe wondered what they were up to.
She suspected they might be getting a little cozy somewhere private.
“Ah!”
Unable to handle her own imagination, Zoe screamed.
