âJustin, you jerk! Donât touch me! Put me down!â
Bella immediately blushed. She wiggled around and kicked her legs in
a struggle.
Her hands, clutching Justinâs shirt, turned into fists that kept
punching his muscular chest. Although her hands were sore from the pounding, it was no different than
a massage for Justin. He even enjoyed it!
âYou wouldnât listen to me, so I had no choice but to carry you up.â
Justin lowered his gaze. He looked aloof, but his gaze concealed an
intense affection for her.
He could not control it.
If he could, would it still be love?
âWhy should I listen to you? Who do you think you are? I wonât! I just wonât!â Bella was so embarrassed
that she blushed and struggled
harder.
âIf you donât behave, Iâll kiss you.â Justinâs Adam apple bobbed as his
eyes narrowed.
âYou bastard!â Bella shivered and bit her lower lip in panic.
Justin curled his lips and suddenly let go of her.
âAh!â
Bellaâs eyes fluttered shut, and she broke into a thin layer of sweat, her arms immediately wrapping
around Justinâs neck.
Justinâs expression was still cold, but his dark eyes had a hint of
softness.
Justin carried Bella up the stairs, leaving the group of people behind.
The Hoffman family was at a loss for what to do, but since they were already there, they had to settle
the marriage. Otherwise, it would hurt their pride.
âFather, what should we do now?â
Claire whispered into Loganâs ear with concern, âLook at Justinâs
attitude. Itâs obvious that he doesnât want to marry Zoe. He doesnât
even want to talk to us.â
âGrandpa, are you going to stand by and watch me get bullied? Iâm
your granddaughter!â Zoe sobbed uncontrollably, looking pitiful.
After all, Logan was an experienced and powerful figure with a calm attitude. If it were any other
ordinary man, they would have started to cuss the Salvador family out with vulgar words.
However, Logan could not take the disrespect.
âChairman Salvador, is this how youâre going to handle this matter? My granddaughterâs reputation was
ruined by your son, yet heâs still bickering with his ex-wife in front of us. Do you think weâre easy to
mess with?â
Chap
In a fit of anger, Logan grabbed a coffee cup on the table and
smashed it.
The bodyguards from the Hoffman family immediately surrounded them, as if they had gotten the
signal. Shannonâs face turned pale from fright, and she hid behind Gregory.
In Savrow, everyone knew that the Hoffmans started off in the mafia.
The current situation seemed like they were about to fight with the
Salvadors.
âChairman Hoffman, what are you doing?â Gregory was infuriated as well. âDo you think you can step
on our heads like this?â
âHmph, donât worry. We live in a lawful society, and Iâm tired of the violent days.â
Loganâs eyes were gloomy. âI just want to tell you that Justinâs
behavior has made me very mad tonight. When I get angry, nobody
can predict what will happen next!â
Gregory clenched his fists. He almost could not control his anger. Loganâs words were an outright
threat!
