Bella gave him a peck on the cheek and said, “Good job.”
Justin, feeling pleased with his reward, squinted happily with his starry eyes. “Oh, there’s one more thing. The Iverson family has made a move.”
Bella instantly perked up. “Oh, really? What is it?”
“They are planning to hold a press conference to clarify what happened in the previous meeting.”
“Clarify? I think they’re just trying to dodge responsibility and shift the blame.” Bella giggled softly, tracing a heart on his chest with her fingertips.
“The Iverson family had put so much effort into Theodore, and now that he had failed, they’re probably worried about getting in trouble with the higher-ups.”
Justin’s gaze turned cold as he said, “To prove their sincerity, the Iverson Group will surely organize a press conference very soon, perhaps within the next few days.”
“Hmph, Theodore’s behavior as the corrupt councilman is inexcusable, but it’s truly despicable how the Iverson family acts all high and mighty after turning their backs on him.”
“Don’t worry, Bella. I promised to seek justice for Amelia, and I won’t give up easily. Anyone who hurts you or your loved ones will face severe consequences,” Justin said through gritted teeth with a fierce determination in his voice.
Bella smiled joyfully as she listened to his powerful and steady heartbeat, her eyes squinting with delight.
Another reason she loved Justin was because of his strong commitment to fairness and his fearless sense of justice. They both shared similar values, believing in kindness and working toward a better world.
Justin took hold of her fragile hand and touched her pinky finger.
A wave of tender soreness filled his chest instantly, and his throat tightened slightly. “Bella, what exactly happened to your finger? Can you tell me?”
“It’s nothing, just a little accident from climbing trees when I was a child. It doesn’t bother me.”
