âMs. Cecily, you should know that am your cousinâs ex-husband.â Justinâs side profile was beautiful and
intimidating.
He finally spoke to her.
However, it was about Bella.
âYes, I know,â Cecily replied weakly.
âSo, I think you should be more mindful of your surroundings. Donât appear in front of me, especially
when Bella is around.â
Cecily did not know what got to her. She misunderstood his words and asked with a flushed face,
âThen⦠Does it mean that when Bella
is not around, I couldâ¦â
âI think you have no chance of meeting me at all at other times ignore what you say. Donât overthink it.â
Justinâs gaze was cold a
drank another glass of champagne.
Cecily was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide She was shamelessly clinging to this
man, who gave her the cold
shoulder.
She had been quite successful in her romantic life over the past few
years. It had always been men chasing after her relentlessly, and this
was the first time she had willingly thrown herself at a man.
However, it did not matter.
Justin was worth it! As long as she could become Justinâs wife, she
and her father could finally raise their heads in front of Wyatt, no longer needing to rely on him.
Justin drank one glass after another. Anyone who wasnât blind could see that he was in a bad mood.
Cecily sat beside him, accompanying him in drinking while observing
his reactions.
An unnoticeable, wicked smile flashed across her eyes.
When Cameron ordered the waiter to serve them champagne just now, their plan had silently unfolded.
She thought, âDrink. Drink more. Then, you will forget about Bella. You will only see me from now on.â
After coming out of the backyard, Bella and Arnold did not hurry back.
It was not that Bella was unwilling to part with Justin. She had co all this way, so she had to take a look
at Shannonâs current situati
Bella wandered around the house for some time but did not see
Shannon. Arnold had already felt a little impatient.
âHey, what are you looking for?â
âSomeone.â.
âWho?â
âIt has nothing to do with you.â Bella focused on searching for her
enemy and could not be bothered to entertain Arnold.
âTsk, what is it? Youâre acting so mysterious.â
Arnold pouted. âOh. Since Justin refuses to get treated, does it mean I can go back immediately?â
âNo,â Bella straight-up opposed.
âWhy? I have things going on in Meridan. Do you think I have the time to waste here with you?â
âIâll meet Grandpa Nigel tomorrow and ask him to talk to Justin. Even though Justin doesnât listen to
me, heâll listen to Grandpa Nigel.â Bella was determined about this matter. Once she decided on
something, nobody could change her mind.
âTsk! He doesnât even appreciate you. Unbelievable!â
While Arnold wanted to vent his resentment, Bella suddenly shushed
him.
