lan shut his dropped jaw and gave a thumbs up. âG-Good. You look
good.â
The man grimaced. âWhy do I look good?â
lan was stunned. It then dawned on him.
If Justin was in good spirits, it meant that he was on the mend, and
Bella would feel less guilty and pay less attention to him.
On the contrary, if Justin looked pale and sickly, Bella would feel bad,
despite not admitting it.
Tsk. So that was Justinâs plan.
lan had to admit that Justin was pretty sneaky.
Justin and lan were stopped at the door when trying to get into the
establishment.
âMs. Walker is with a guest now. She wonât have time for other guests.
today.â
Justin turned stern. âIs Ms. Walker with her mentor now?â
The assistant was surprised. âHow did you know?â
âIâm here for her.â
Justin narrowed his eyes with composure. âIâm Ms. Thompsonâs husband. Surely, I shouldnât be stopped from seeing my wife.â
lan was dumbfounded.
The first rule of pursuing an ex-wife was to ditch oneâs pride and ego.
The assistant frowned and sized Justin up before uttering coldly, âDo you think I canât recognize you, Mr. Salvador? If I remember correctly, your fiancé, Ms. Rosalind Gold, reserved a dress from us to announce your wedding on her birthday several months ago. It was huge news.â
The mention of Rosalind rubbed Justin the wrong way, and he
frowned.
âIt hasnât been long, and now youâre telling me that Ms. Walkerâs
mentor is your wife. Do you think weâre dumb?â
Justin opened his mouth to explain, but a curt voice cut through the
air.
âWhat did you say, Justin? Whatâs that? Who is your wife?â
Roza shouted while rushing toward Justin with widened eyes.
âYour mentor is Bella, the heiress of KS Group. Sheâs also my wife.â
Justin paused for a moment before he added âonceâ to prevent an unnecessary misunderstanding.
âJesus Christâ¦â
Roza was not taking the news too well. Still, she was in disbelief. Donât spread lies to ruin my mentorâs fame and reputation. We can
sue you!â
âItâs okay if you donât believe me. You can ask your mentor. Sheâll tell
you.â Justin carried himself with composure.
âNo way. I donât get it. My mentor isnât blind and dumb. What could
she ever possibly see in you?â
Roza sprung back to stay away from Justin. âOnly a shallow woman like Rosalind would be interested in a shameless old man like you.â
Justin pursed his lips embarrassedly
That was true. Why did Bella like him?
Sure, he had saved her life before, but that was thirteen years ago. Bella was only 11 years old at the time. How could she think about
marrying him at that young age?
It did not make sense.
âThatâs right. Justin is my ex-husband.â
The trio looked up in the direction of the voice from the second floor.
Dressed in a satin blouse paired with black pants, Bella rested her arms on the railing and smiled pretentiously. Despite Justin standing in her line of vision, his presence held no weight in the scale of her
attention.
âPardon me, but everybody makes mistakes.â
