The air became still for a moment.

Ian was so anxious when he saw that Justin and Bella were about to get into a fight again. He reallywanted to rush forward and tape his boss’s mouth shut.

Bella laughed out loud. Her beautiful eyes teared up and reflected the lights like scattered stars.”Justin, I admit that I have overestimated my capabilities and tried too hard. I pestered you and tried tobe nice to you time and time again, thinking that I could make you fall in love with me. But in the end, Igot nothing except self-pity. But there is one thing you’re wrong about.

“Even if you forced me to leave you, I have never resented you. I wanted to part ways amicably, butyou kept pestering me, shredding the last bit of dignity between us. So I have no choice but to expelyou, an intruder disrupting my new life, with any means necessary. Justin, you had no choice but tomarry me back then. Now, I have no choice but to do this to you. The only way for us to be happy is totreat each other as strangers from now on.”

Justin felt like she had hammered his chest. His heartbeat stalled, as if the pause button had beenpressed.

“Mr. Harris, it’s cold at night. Please send Mr. Salvador back.”

Bella suppressed the pain that arose from her heart and quickly turned around to leave.

Someone who did not even notice her love and sacrifice was not worth crying over.

Suddenly, Bella felt severe pain in her wrist. She turned around and was shocked to meet Justin’sbloodshot eyes.

“Justin, let go!” She pulled her arm away.

Justin’s thin lips parted slightly. Just as he was about to say something, a cold voice interrupted him.

“Mr. Salvador, you’re a person of status. Don’t you think it’s disrespectful to grab onto my futuredaughter-in-law in front of my house at this hour?!”

When Bella saw Mila and Sasha walking over, she quickly shook off Justin’s hand and stepped backfrom him.

“Future daughter-in-law?” Justin was stunned for a while. His mind went blank.

“I don’t think I need to explain what it means for Asher to bring Anna back for a family dinner tonight,right? He’s formally introducing Anna to us.”

As she spoke, Mila put her arms around Bella’s shoulders and looked at her affectionately. “Anna isbeautiful, righteous, and very much in love with Asher. Everyone in our family, including the chairman,is very satisfied with Anna and wants her to join our family as soon as possible. All that’s left is for us tomeet her parents and set a wedding date.”

Bella was stunned to hear this.

She knew that Mila and Sasha were here to support her, but this was too much drama.

Justin felt as if his heart had been hollowed out and filled with cold wind.

“Mr. Salvador, if I remember correctly, you announced your new marriage through the media not longago.’

Sasha’s eyes were murderous as she glared at Justin. She curled her lips and said, “Why aren’t youwith your fiancée at this time, and why would you come here to bother Anna? We don’t care if you want

to throw your reputation down the drain, but don’t drag Anna down with you. She’s part of our familynow, so if you don’t check your behavior, don’t blame us for being ruthless!”

Bella knew that Sasha was not someone who would rather use words than her fists. At this moment,seeing Sasha stand there and talk to Justin, Bella knew that Mila and Celeste must have warnedSasha not to act rashly.

Ian held his forehead and thought, ‘OMG, Mr. Salvador! Why did you come all the way here? Are youlooking for a scolding?”

Justin’s hand, which had just touched Bella, slowly clenched into a fist and trembled slightly.

He was trying hard to hold onto her, but it seemed like he could not hang on any longer. He did notknow why he was still so hung up over Anna when he was clearly the one to initiate the divorce.

“Aunt Mila, Aunt Sasha, it’s cold at night. You’ll catch a cold from wearing so little. Let’s go home.”

Bella said, “Let’s go home”, so naturally, as if she belonged there. This made Justin feel like there wasan invisible wall between them that completely isolated him outside.

“Anna, is that true?” Justin’s voice was hoarse and bitter.

Bella took a deep breath and simply played along. “Yes.”

“Great… Great…”

Justin’s handsome face was pale, and he kept repeating that word. He took out a black velvet jewelrybox and handed it to her.

“Consider this my wedding gift to you.”
