It was no secret that Gregory and Justin did not get along. However, it was their first fallout in public
throughout all the years.
Justin was savage and aggressive, but there was no denying that Salvador Corporationâs finances
were more than healthy during his tenure as president. The company expanded across the city rather
quickly and vigorously.
The employees bore witness to Justinâs prowess.
It was a bad idea for Gregory to remove Justin from the company because of Shannon.
Gregoryâs words would have gotten to Justin in the past.
Now, Gregoryâs threat was water off a duckâs back.
Salvador Corporation was not everything to Justin anymore. Bella was a lot more important than
Salvador Corporation.
âIâm not interested in knowing who will become the president of th company in the future, but Iâm
running the company right now. No one can stop me from firing Shannon.â
Justin took strides out of the meeting room.
The senior executives kept hushed while Gregory scowled.
It was dark outside when Justin left the office.
Justin sat wearily in the back seat of a fancy car, his head falling back as he rested.
âMr. Salvador, you were a badass to go up against Chairman Salvador today.â lan was excited just
thinking about it.
âIt pays to be badass.â Justin curled his lips wryly.
âSo what? You will forever be remembered as a badass! Besides, Grant is too sick to handle anything.
Even if he returns to Savrow, he wouldnât last a week with the amount of work you do.â
lan beamed optimistically. âBesides, everything is good between you and the young madam. She will
support you, no matter what. Your future wife is the heiress of the Thompson family, and your future
father-in-law is the chairman of KS Group. Plus, you have multiple capable brothers-in-law. With that
many on your side, what is Chairman Salvador going to do to you?â
âSo youâre saying that I should live off Bella?â Justin asked whi narrowing his eyes.
lan gasped sharply and stumbled for words. âN-No⦠Y-You⦠Li N-No. Maybe a little.â
Justinâs lips twitched. âIan. I should get you an appointment with Larson. Heâs a neurosurgeon. He can
look inside that tiny brain of yours.â
lan smiled apologetically, his heart racing.
However, Justin had become softer how that he was with Bella.
Before, Justin would tell him to meet with HR for his final paycheck. At least now, Justin would just be
concerned about his health.
After a brief silence, Justin noticed the tightness in his chest.
He was brought back to the years he grew alongside Salvador Corporation and the hardships he had
been through for the development of the company.
Yet he was nothing but a disposal pawn to Gregory all along.
âTake me home, lan.â
Justin closed his eyes and breathed out, his voice reflecting tenderness. âI really, really miss her.â
:
Bella was home alone that night. Humming to a tune, she propped her arm on her hip while stirring the
pot.
Wilma hit it off with another nanny in the neighborhood, and they became best friends. Bella approved
a long leave for her to get out and have fun with her new friend.
Injured, Bella was hurting and had restricted mobility. However, could not lie prostrate for long. While
her man was out the whole she thought about making dinner for him.
Memories of the past suddenly came back to her. She used to master the art of cooking because the
way to a manâs heart was through his stomach.
It seemed so funny now that she thought about it.
