"Young Madam, let me tell you, the land transaction in Terranova is so bizarre!" lan seized the
opportunity to lavish praise on Justin. "Fortunately, Mr. Salvador is wise and discerning. He informed
Mr. Thompson in time about this investigation. There's still a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, the losses
would have been even greater if construction began!"
"Mr. Harris, are you implying that my brother is not wise and discerning?" Bella's fair and delicate arms
were crossed in front of her chest, her gaze intimidating.
lan's spine stiffened with fear. "Young... Young Madam, please don't misunderstand. I never meant
that!"
"lan, watch your words." Justin's icy gaze was piercing. "Loose lips can sink ships, or bonuses."
lan was stunned and speechless.
That statement carried even more weight!
Businessmen were humans too, and it was common to slip up.
In fact, Justin's wisdom and business prowess were not innate. They were the result of years of
managing the conglomerate and navigating countless pitfalls, big and small.
He just happened to know a little more about Terranova than Asher, and that little extra knowledge
played a crucial role.
"Originally, when I pointed out the problem, I wanted your brother to find a way to sell that piece of land
as soon as possible, but he hasn't found a suitable buyer yet," Justin said calmly, not thinking that what
he did was extraordinary.
Bella thought, 'A suitable buyer? Finding a scapegoat would be a more accurate description.'
But unexpectedly, Steven encountered some trouble, which turned out to be a fortune in disguise. A big
opportunity walked right into their laps.
"So, when Steven encountered
trouble yesterday, you thought of using that project as a bargaining chip for reconciliation. That's why
you hurriedly notified Asher to come over with the transfer contract." Bella squinted her lively eyes.
Justin caressed the silky hair of the beauty in his arms without reservation. âI can't hide anything from
you, can I?"
"Tsk tsk! If Mr. Salvador wasn't managing Salvador Corporation, he could consider going into fraud.
He'd definitely be a top swindler."
Justin's lips tugged slightly, and his smile was indulgent. "I didn't deceive James. At most, I just invited
him into the trap. It's his choice whether to step into it or not. We never forced him. He could have
refused to reconcile with Mr. Thompson for the sake of his cherished brotherly affection."
"Oh, come on, Mr. Salvador, you're so shrewd that others would probably develop acute paranoia just
by looking at you."
Bella poked his stiff chest with her
fingertip. "Upon closer inspection, your trap has many loopholes. Regarding that contract, James could
have delayed us until he took over, then sent people for on-site inspection and conducted cautious
research. So, ultimately, it's because you understand his current dire situation in the Iverson family.
He's eager to take credit, so he's impatient. Faced with such a big temptation, he'll definitely jump into
the pit without a second thought. As for brotherly affection, at that moment, James only thought about
how to turn things around and had long forgotten about Charles."
Justin admired her with his eyes, as if Bella were the most beautiful woman in the world.
"To conquer the enemy, it starts with the mind."
"Heh, James, who thought he had picked up a big bargain, probably won't be able to laugh for long."
Bella's face lit up again with a brilliant smile. She was in such a good mood that she felt like eating
another serving of mashed potatoes.
However, just as the atmosphere began to relax, a call from Ralph brought their mood back down.
"Bella, there's trouble. Promise me not to get angry and stay calm." Ralph took a deep breath, his voice
heavy. "Charles was just bailed out by Lance and James."
