The hall fell silent. Bellaâs commanding presence only made everyone feel as if they were in an icy
cave.
Her intimidating look was not inferior to Logan, who straddled both sides of the law!
Shannon wanted to watch the show with a smile, thinking that Bella had come because she heard
about the Hoffmans trying to force Justin into marriage and wanted to snatch Justin from Zoe.
She thought she could enjoy the show, but Bellaâs unexpected intentions disrupted her plans entirely.
âMs. Bella, youâre looking for me? I donât have anything to do with you. Why are you looking for me?â
Shannon looked surprised and chuckled dryly.
âWhatever ties we had ended the day I divorced Justin.â
Bellaâs tone was nonchalant, revealing nothing about her en But your entanglement with one of your
old acquaintances from over.â
Her casual words were like a bomb that took the crowd by surp
âZoe! What is Ms. Bella saying? Whatâs going on?â Logan stared Zoe unbelievably.
âGrandpa⦠I told you before. Have you forgotten?â Zoe reminded him timidly.
âTold me? When did you tell me? I am old, but Iâm not senile! Youâve never mentioned that Justin had
been divorced once.
Logan had been recuperating overseas for the past year, leaving the business to Ryan and his second
son, Liam. He was unaware that Justin was married and divorced, and that his ex-wife was Wyattâs
daughter.
He felt deceived!
âMr. Hoffman, so what if our Young Master was divorced once?!â
Wilma could not endure it anymore. She retorted, âOur Young Master is an outstanding man. Even if he
was divorced eight times, he would still have a long line of women willing to marry him! Also, didnât your
granddaughter propose marriage to our Young Master? She didnât mind at all. Why are you making a
fuss?â
âOld hag, who gave you the right to speak here?â Logan scolded Wilma in anger and embarrassment.
âThis is the Salvador familyâs manor, not the Hoffmansâ. I ca whatever I want. Who do you think you
are?â Wilma snorted ar turned around, ignoring Logan.
âYou!â
Loganâs face reddened in anger, but quarreling with a servant fro another family was truly an act
beneath him.
Gregory had been holding back the whole night. Now that Wilma stood up against Logan, he could
finally release some pent-up frustration.
Although he did not like Justin much, he was still his flesh and blood. He could scold and beat Justin,
but not anyone else!
Justinâs breath hitched, and his heart thumped. He strode toward
Bella and lowered his voice. âBella, you can tell me. Iâll help you.â
âWhy? Are you afraid that Iâm interrupting your discussion?â
Bellaâs dark eyelashes fluttered as she cast an icy glance at Justin, whispering in a voice only they
could hear, âRest assured. I wonât disrupt your family meeting. Iâm only here for Shannon, and I will
leave after that.â
âIâve said that I will help you if you face any difficulties.â Justinâs brows furrowed, complicated emotions
surging within his eyes.
âYou canât resolve it, and I donât need you to.â
Bella avoided his intense gaze and turned to look at Shannon, her face expressionless.
âMs. Bella, since youâve come all this way, I donât mind treatin a cup of coffee. But I have nothing to say
to you.â
Shannon slightly raised her chin, lifting her eyebrows_in arrogal
As for whatever old acquaintances. I donât understand what you talking about.â
âDo you also have nothing to say about Celeste?â Bellaâs gaze was as cold as ice, her tone bone-
chilling.
Upon hearing this, Shannonâs heart skipped a beat, and her shoulders trembled involuntarily.
