Bella kept her cool. If she could not take an insult, how was she
supposed to lead a multibillion-dollar empire?
However, the two men beside her were not having it.
Justin, in particular, clenched his fists and trembled with rage. He
looked like he was about to blow up.
Hunter laughed cockily because Justin could not take his anger out
on him at the police station. âHaha! Youâre a lucky man, Mr. Salvador.
Ms. Thompson has you sorted for any unsettled problems. I guess all
men yield to Ms. Thompsonâs wishes. Youâll get what you want through her.â
âArgh!â
Hunterâs conceit did not last long. He had a moment of blackout.
His nose hurt badly, and he saw stars when he face-planted on the
ground.
âJustin?â
Bellaâs eyes widened in shock, and her heart beat out of her chest as
she stared blankly at her manâs strong back.
Even Ralph was dumbfounded. He did not even see how Justin hit
Hunter to the ground.
Ralph made a note to himself to check the surveillance footage later
to learn Justinâs move.
âJ-Justin! We are in the police station. H-How could you hit me?â
Hunter held his nose, tears and a nosebleed rolling down. âIâll sue you for aggravated assault. Iâllâ¦
IâIIâ¦â
âAggravated assault? But I didnât hit anyone.â
Justin clutched his fingers, his knuckles popping as he looked askance at Hunter. âYouâre not human. I
canât even call you an animal because Iâll be insulting the animal kingdom.â
Hunter shook with rage and fear.
However, he was not a nobody. Hunter was a renowned attorney and
the heir of the Lovett family. He had never been so humiliated.
Hence, Hunter shouted out loud to attract the attention of other cops.
âThe president of Salvador Corporation is throwing his weight around and abusing the innocent. He
attacked and insulted me in the police station! Justin, your upbringing doesnât give you the right to do
whatever you please. Youâre disregarding the law and the legal
system by attacking me here.â
âListen up, Hunter.â
Justin narrowed his eyes on Hunter, his voice chilly. âIf you have a problem, you can come after me. I
play your game. But donât you
ever run your mouth about my woman. Even if it means jail time, I will make you pay. If I catch you
speaking ill of her again, Iâll pull your tongue out and flush it down the toilet. Just try me.â
Hunterâs eyes bulged, and his tongue went numb.
Bella went up and took Justinâs hand. She blew on his red knuckles
and whined, âYou hit too hard. Your hand is swelling.â
âItâs okay.â Justin smiled at her without a care.
Bella locked eyes with him before giving Hunter a smirk. âIf you have to sit behind bars, I should help
you by giving him extra punches.
âItâs boring to be in the free world alone. I should keep you company
in jail.â
Ralphâs jaw dropped. Bellaâs and Justinâs flirting was something else.
With pain the last thing on his mind, Hunter was dumbstruck.
What did they take him for? A subject to spice up their love life?
A flurry of footsteps approached.
âWhat are you doing, Justin?â
Justin looked up and grimaced.
