A few steps ahead of Justin and Rosalind, Ryan and Bella walked side by side toward them. Ryan was
tall and handsome, and Bella was elegant and gorgeous. They looked like a match made in heaven.
Justinâs eyebrows twitched when he noticed that Ryan was holding a shopping bag. Did they go
shopping together?
Bella did not notice Justin and Rosalind as she was listening to Ryanâs animated jokes. Ryan and Bella
looked at each other and laughed, clearly enjoying themselves.
Justin inexplicably felt his chest tighten, and his eyes were sore from seeing this scene.
Ryan vaguely felt an oppressive chill coming from the front and raised his head. His eyes widened
when he saw Justin and Rosalind.
âJustin? What are you doing here?!â
Only then did Bella notice Justin, whose face was as cold as frost. She glanced at Rosalind, who was
in Justinâs arms, and sneered.
Knowing that her opportunity had come, Rosalind hugged Justin tighter, like a koala. She looked at
Anna provokingly, showing Anna that Justin belonged to her.
However, Bella did not care at all.
She would have been jealous before, but not anymore. Now, her heart was calm.
Bella thought, âThat scumbag and that bitch are a perfect match!â
âI should be the one asking you this, Ryan.â Justinâs voice was deep, and his face was gloomy.
âIâm shopping, of course! You know me, I love shopping.â Ryan smiled with curved eyes, not knowing
that he was in deep trouble.
Bella could not refute that. She had never seen a man who loved shopping more than Ryan.
Although Ryan kept chatting with her along the way, his eyes kept glancing into the display windows. If
Bella had not been in a hurry to leave, Ryan would have wanted to go into every store.
However, Justin thought that Ryan was provoking him.
âI didnât expect Ms. Brown to be so close to Mr. Hoffman that they could go shopping together.â
Rosalind clung to Justinâs chest weakly and added, âJustin, letâs go. We shouldnât disturb their date.â
Bellaâs eyes were cold, while Ryan was confused when he heard the word âdateâ.
Unexpectedly, Justin slowly pushed Rosalind away and strode over to Bella.
âHey, Justin!â
Rosalind called out to him, but he did not look back. Her eyes were red with hatred.
Bella raised her pretty face to meet Justinâs sharp gaze. Although she was wearing high heels, Justin
was still much taller than her. He gave off an indescribable sense of oppressive air as he stared at her
coldly.
âWhat are you doing?â Justin asked in a cold voice.
âWeâre just shopping. Whatâs wrong?â
Bellaâs red lips curled up slightly in disdain. âWhat a smart world! Mr. Salvador, do you want to blame
me for not walking another way when youâre using this path?â
âYou went shopping with him?â Justinâs eyes became darker, and he emphasized the word âhimâ.
âHey, whatâs wrong with Anna going shopping with me? Iâm not a pervert.â Ryan clicked his tongue.
Justin clenched his teeth. âWho knows what youâre like with the opposite sex?â
âWhat the f*ck!â Ryanâs eyebrows furrowed in anger.
âJustin, Iâm free to go out with whomever I please. Itâs ridiculous that youâre still finding fault with me
after weâre divorced.â Bella ignored Justinâs murderous gaze.
Was Justin angry?
He had nothing to be angry about. He could not possibly be jealous after seeing her and Ryan together,
right?
That was impossible because Justin did not love her at all. So why would he be jealous?
âWe havenât finalized our divorce yet, but youâre going out shopping with my friend so openly. If other
people saw you, what would they think of the relationship between Salvador Corporation and Hoffman
Group? Are you planning to cause trouble over nothing?â Justinâs chest felt tight and stuffy, and his
eyes were bloodshot.
Ryan raised his eyebrows and secretly complained. âThat old fox! Heâs just using me as an excuse!â
âHah!â
Bella felt that she had heard a joke that was not funny at all. âJustin, aside from the Salvador family,
who else knows that I am your wife?â
Justinâs eyes widened, and the emotions surging in his heart made his chest feel stuffy.
âWe have been married for three years, but have you ever taken me out in public? Have you to meet
your friends? Have we ever held a wedding ceremony?â
taken me
Bella smiled brightly, as if she were deliberately irritating him. âDonât worry. Even if I put my face on the
big screen outside the mall, no one will know that I am your ex-wife. So, youâre worrying too much if
you think that I will embarrass you and Mr. Hoffman. Letâs all go our separate ways. If we meet in public
in the future, letâs act like strangers. After all, a qualified ex should be as quiet as a corpse.â
After saying that, Bella decisively walked past Justin.
Ryan pondered for a second.
In the end, he chose to ditch his best friend and chase after his crush.
Justin stared at Ryanâs back and took a deep breath. The veins on the back of his hands were bulging,
and his expression was gloomy.
Somehow, he felt like Ryan had stolen his girl.
Most friends would stick up for each other, but in Ryanâs case, he would rather stab Justin to get the
girl.
