Chapter 569: Chapter 569

When Bella saw Justin fall toward her weakly, she reflexively spread her arms to catch him and held him tightly.

Suddenly, she felt a warm liquid on her palm, and her heart skipped a beat.

She slowly raised her hand and turned her palm over.

A shocking swath of blood entered her line of sight.

Bella realized that Justin’s broad back was covered with narrow vicious whip marks. His white shirt was already soaked and dyed red with blood.

Instantly, her eyes widened, and an uncontrollable rage overtook her as her eyes began to gleam with a cold, intimidating light.

“Are you okay, Justin?”

“Are you worried about me?” Justin leaned firmly into her embrace, still sweating.

“Of course!” Bella blurted, unable to control her emotions.

Justin’s heart thumped loudly as he forcibly suppressed his joy, and he smiled softly. “Thank you, Bella.”

“Shut up!”

Bella was at the peak of her anger. There was fear in her eyes as she scolded him in a low voice, “You’re badly injured right now. Stop talking. I don’t want to hear your bleating!”

Justin laughed bitterly as he said softly into her ear, “Okay.”

Everyone was dumbfounded to see Bella Thompson appear out of nowhere.

Carrie, who was watching everything from a hidden corner, teared up when she saw Annie descend onto the scene like a goddess.

Shannon and Bethany, on the other hand, looked like they had just eaten a lemon.

Their expressions were as sour as can be.

“Chairman Salvador, there’s a lot of excitement going on in your home today. If I’d been just one moment later, I probably wouldn’t have been able to see this terribly dramatic scene of you disciplining your son, would I?” Bella said with a mocking smile.

But the gaze she aimed at Gregory was sharp and intimidating. Even Hercules himself would have felt a chill.

Some of the helpers heard the sarcasm and snickered.

Bella steadily supported Justin as she slowly chuckled. “I usually hear people say that family affairs should be kept private. This is the first time in my life that I’ve seen someone beat their son before such a crowd without regard for their family’s reputation. You might as well strip him naked and string him up over Tideview Manor’s metal gates for three days and three nights. When the time comes, I’ll definitely invite all of Savrow’s reporters to come look and spread your name far and wide.”

Her sarcastic remarks were viciously biting.

The snickering grew louder.

Justin did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.

This woman had to be constantly thinking up methods to torture him day and night.

Gregory really hated this girl.

It was a mystery how Wyatt Thompson had brought up his daughter to be so disrespectful!

“Ms. Thompson!”

Shannon was bolstered by the fact that her husband was right there to back her up and stepped forward to rebuke Bella. “This has been the Salvador family’s rule for decades. Kids who have done wrong have to unconditionally accept their punishment. My husband and Old Master Nigel also experienced it. So this is the way it shou Justin’s generation as well. Besides, this is our family matter already divorced Justin, so you’re no longer part of the family are you thinking, turning up at this time? In what capacity are you doing this? What right do you have to interfere?!”

Bella did not even have to think to know that the wicked woman would say exactly all that, so she was unruffled in the face of her questioning.

Justin could not bear to allow Shannon to bully his woman. His eyes. flashed with a vicious gleam as he opened his mouth. When he was about to speak, Nigel said, “Anna might not have a say in this, but I do!”
