Bella gave Nigel a few more reminders about his health before excusing herself and leaving the room.
She had just left the room when Justin hurriedly came after her.
âIâll send you home,â Justin said simply.
Bella had to suppress her anger in front of Nigel earlier. At this moment, it finally erupted as she quickly
took a few steps back and pointed at his face.
She yelled loudly, âHalt!â
Justin frowned in confusion.
Bella pursed her lips in slight embarrassment. She originally wanted to say ânoâ but ended up saying
âhaltâ due to some crossed wires.
Whatever, it meant the same thing!
âI donât need you to send me home. Iâm an adult, and itâs not like I donât know the way home!â
âItâs late. Iâll send you home.â Justin unrelentingly took a step forward.
Bella remembered that she had been hugged by this man earlier that night and gritted her teeth. She
patted her shoulder to dust off some invisible dirt. âJustin Salvador, I didnât flip my shit earlier only
because Grandpa Nigel was around, not because I want any form of relationship with you, so donât
cross the line. Right now, Iâm super pissed because of Hunter Lovett and Bethany Salvador. I get the
urge. to smack even a passing dog. So if you come any closer, trust me. when I say Iâll beat your ass.â
Bella thought she was very threatening and intimidating when she said this.
But Justin felt a bit like laughing when he heard this, so he smiled. slightly.
âIf Hunter causes trouble for you again, tell me, and Iâll help you deal with him,â Justin said softly.
âHa! Thereâs no need for an outsider like you to interfere in the affairs between the Lovetts and us
Thompsons. Just mind yourself!â
Bella recalled that Justin had offended Hunter Lovett in front of the entire Salvador family just to protect
her earlier, and a complex feeling arose in her heart.
But on second thought, that bastard was probably more concerned about his own interests.
After all, she could tell Gregory Salvador wanted Hunter Lovett to join. Salvador Corporation. If Hunter
really became Salvador Corporationâs legal counsel, that was equivalent to Gregory gaining a fierce
general, which would make the situation unfavorable for that bastard.
When she thought of this, Bella sneered.
Right when Justin took a step to try to get closer to her once more, at stern voice spoke from behind
him.
âJustin!â
Justin frowned and turned around to see Gregory walking toward him quickly.
âCome to my study. I have something to say to you.â
âIâll come see you later. Right now, I need to send Ms. Thompson home.â Justin replied calmly, not
budging.
âSend? Ha! Does she even need you? Ms. Thompson is long gone!â
Justin was stunned.
When he turned back around, that woman, who was as agile as a rabbit, had long disappeared without
a trace.
Bella walked out of the Salvador home expressionlessly.
âMs. Thompson.â
She paused. Her gaze grew colder when she saw Hunter walk up to her with a fake smile on his face.
âRegardless of whether youâre happy about it, Iâve still gotten Ms. Bethany Salvador through this crisis.
Itâs not shameful for you to lose. to me.â
âTruthfully, no matter how I think about it, Iâve come out on top this time.â
Bella was not angered by him and instead taunted him by going along with his words. âThrough this
incident, I finally see you completely for who you are. Iâve seen many people complain about the cook
after finishing their food, but you are the first whoâs smashed the plate after youâre done eating. I just
wonder if Uncle Neil knew the dream of the son he was most proud of was to wipe the asses of the rich
and even worked against your former benefactors. Would he be ashamed of you?â
Hunterâs insincere smile stiffened completely, and his expression suddenly darkened. âMs. Thompson, I
went easier on you precisely because youâre Chairman Thompsonâs daughter! Youâre crossing the line
by provoking me repeatedly! Do you think you can do whatever you want just because youâre rich?â
âYouâve just reminded me that I am the daughter of the richest ma Hatchbay. Itâs a talent of mine to do
whatever I want. Why shou leave such a noble status unused if I have it?â
Bellaâs beautiful eyes narrowed dangerously, and the curl of her rea lips was like a saber that drew no
blood when it killed. âSo from nowâ on, before you go against me again, youâd better remember whose
daughter I am and whose support I have. My temper is much worse. than my fatherâs.â
Turning on her chic and cool stilettos, Bella left in style.
Hunter gritted his teeth as he watched her beautiful figure go.
âBella Thompson, donât take me for that useless younger brother of mine. Just because Steven is
willing to be the Thompsonsâ dog, it doesnât mean that Iâm so cowardly to bend to your every wish!
There are many days ahead of us. Our confrontation is yet to come!â
