âYeah, Mr. Salvador. Can the Salvador Corporationâs president do whatever he wants without regard to the law? Be mindful of
your words, or I'll sue you for slander!â Liam pointed at Justinâs expressionless face without an ounce of respect, relying on
Loganâs support.
Ryan hugged Carrie tightly, rubbing her shoulders, as all he thought of was protecting his girlfriend. He even rolled his eyes at
Liam.
Someone from the Hoffman family was accusing others of disregarding the law. How ridiculous!
âJustin, did you investigate clearly before saying something like this?â
Shannon happened to bump into this scene as Paul led her back. She immediately joined the group in chastising Justin,
smoothly easing into her villainous role. âOur family has been friends with the Hoffman family for generations, and you're like a
brother to Ryan. How could you make such accusations? It will hurt the harmony between our families. Ryan wouldn't feel good
about it too, right?â
Ryan quickly made himself clear, unable to handle any more sarcastic words from Shannon. âMadam Shannon, Iâm on the side
of justice. If necessary, | can even sacrifice my family. Donât take the opportunity to provoke my relationship with Justin!â
Shannon was speechless.
The Hoffman family members went quiet as well, their expressions dark.
âSo, in your eyes, harmony and image are much more valuable than life, right?â Justin smiled coldly, his lips as sharp as a blade.
âAhem... | didnât say that...â
âBecause this man injured the horse Bella was riding, she fell off while the horse was galloping and nearly lost her life. Do you
think | donât deserve an explanation? Do you think | shouldnât get my revenge?â
Justinâs reddened eyes surged with bone-chilling hatred, his trembling voice pausing at each word, nearly getting his teeth while
his heart felt shattered in pain.
âNo matter who the culprit is, | will make sure they die a horrible death. Donât assume | will care about image or reputation. The
only thing | care about...â Justin turned around, his deeply affectionate gaze staring at Bella without hesitation. â...is her.â
Bellaâs eyes turned red. She teared up as she met Justinâs deep gaz
At this moment, it was as if even her heart was surging with emotions.
âFuck! Heâs too cool!â Ryan cursed under his breath, feeling jealousy and admiration for his best friend.
âWow... Justin really loves Annie.â Carrie leaned her head on Ryanâs chest, relieved.
Carrie knew her mother hated Bella and was worried at first. âWith
Justin here, Annie would not be bullied anymore.â
â| love you so much too, honey.â Ryanâs warm kiss landed on her cheek.
â| know. You say that every day, even my ears are callused listening to it.â Carrie's soft voice was coquettish.
âCarrie, believe me. | will be like your brother. Even if the world turns against us, | will never leave you, and | will protect you
forever.â Ryan's affection was deep, and his eyes shone with sincerity.
Carrie lowered her eyes, pursing her lips as she kept silent.
Compared to being protected like a fragile flower, Carried hoped to help Ryan too. Even if she was clumsy and foolish, unable to
do anything, she did not want to cause trouble for the man she loved most.
Some were happy for Justin and Bella, while others were cold.
Everyone knew Justin's decisiveness and ruthlessness. Who coul stop him?
Zoeâs eyes were bloodshot from anger. She stifled a cough and fe like her lungs would explode.
Bella got everything she had dreamed of. Zoeâs scheming only pushed Justin further away!
âMr. Salvador, you say Aiden did it, but do you have any evidence?â Logan asked coldly.
Justinâs lips curled up into a smirk, and he was not in a hurry to talk.
Aidenâs mind spun. He guessed that
Justin did not have conc ete- om
exidence but Wabrherely ollowing
some hearsay or someone's tip- off
to interrogate him.
Aiden gritted his teeth and said, âI did
nothing... | went to the stables onlyito
chegh on Gut horse. | never
touched the Thompson family's
horse!
âMr. Salvador captured me without
reason and allowed his men to
ISToR ai hae
against the Hoffman family? Or do
you want to use this despicable
method to settle personal scores?â
