Chapter 141
The air became still for a moment.
Ian was so anxious when he saw that Justin and Bella were about to get into a fight again. He really wanted to rush forward and tape his boss’s mouth shut.
Bella laughed out loud. Her beautiful eyes teared up and reflected the lights like scattered stars.” Justin, I admit that I have overestimated my capabilities and tried too hard. I pestered you and tried to be nice to you time and time again, thinking that I could make you fall in love with me. But in the end, I got nothing except self-pity. But there is one thing you’re wrong about.
“Even if you forced me to leave you, I have never resented you. I wanted to part ways amicably, but you kept pestering me, shredding the last bit of dignity between us. So I have no choice but to expel you, an intruder disrupting my new life, with any means necessary. Justin, you had no choice but to marry me back then. Now, I have no choice but to do this to you. The only way for us to be happy is to treat each other as strangers from now on.”
Justin felt like she had hammered his chest. His heartbeat stalled, as if the pause button had been pressed.
“Mr. Harris, it’s cold at night. Please send Mr. Salvador back.”
Bella suppressed the pain that arose from her heart and quickly turned around to leave.
Someone who did not even notice her love and sacrifice was not worth crying over.
Suddenly, Bella felt severe pain in her wrist. She turned around and was shocked to meet Justin’s bloodshot eyes.
“Justin, let go!” She pulled her arm away.
Justin’s thin lips parted slightly. Just as he was about to say something, a cold voice interrupted him.
“Mr. Salvador, you’re a person of status. Don’t you think it’s disrespectful to grab onto my future daughter-in-law in front of my house at this hour?!”
When Bella saw Mila and Sasha walking over, she quickly shook off Justin’s hand and stepped back from him.
“Future daughter-in-law?” Justin was stunned for a while. His mind went blank.
“I don’t think I need to explain what it means for Asher to bring Anna back for a family dinner tonight, right? He’s formally introducing Anna to us.”
As she spoke, Mila put her arms around Bella’s shoulders and looked at her affectionately. “Anna is beautiful, righteous, and very much in love with Asher. Everyone in our family, including the chairman, is very satisfied with Anna and wants her to join our family as soon as possible. All that’s left is for us to meet her parents and set a wedding date.”
Bella was stunned to hear this.
She knew that Mila and Sasha were here to support her, but this was too much drama.
Justin felt as if his heart had been hollowed out and filled with cold wind.
“Mr. Salvador, if I remember correctly, you announced your new marriage through the media not long ago.’
Sasha’s eyes were murderous as she glared at Justin. She curled her lips and said, “Why aren’t you with your fiancée at this time, and why would you come here to bother Anna? We don’t care if you want to throw your reputation down the drain, but don’t drag Anna down with you. She’s part of our family now, so if you don’t check your behavior, don’t blame us for being ruthless!”
Bella knew that Sasha was not someone who would rather use words than her fists. At this moment, seeing Sasha stand there and talk to Justin, Bella knew that Mila and Celeste must have warned Sasha not to act rashly.
Ian held his forehead and thought, ‘OMG, Mr. Salvador! Why did you come all the way here? Are you looking for a scolding?”
Justin’s hand, which had just touched Bella, slowly clenched into a fist and trembled slightly.
