Chapter 959

The onlookers who caught a glimpse of this scene felt awkward watching the intense kiss between the two. As Justin's lips slowly parted from Bella’s, his gaze remained heavy and intense.

“You... You’re so impulsive,” Bella complained. She was breathing heavily through her mask after the prolonged kiss, with a look of resentment in her eyes. “Who gave you the permission to kiss me like that?”

“I wanted to kiss you, so I didn’t overthink it and just went along with my feelings.” Justin licked his lips in satisfaction while tucking a stray strand of her hair behind her ear.

“What if someone saw us?!” Bella asked anxiously.

“They won't. If they had noticed, they would have seen it the moment they walked in.” Justin was not a saint, and he was possessive, especially when it came to the woman he deeply cared for.

It was difficult for him to stay indifferent when others made such comments. Bella understood his intentions and decided to play along by teasing him, “What if others misunderstand us as a couple because of your sudden action?”

Justin’s gaze deepened as he stared straight at her for a moment. Then he leaned in close to her ear and whispered, his lips brushing against her earlobe, “I didn’t kiss you to let others know that you’re mine. I kissed you to tell them that I am yours.”

Bella’s heart pounded, her cheeks flushing beneath her mask. Instead of responding, she playfully punched his chest, letting it slide.

At that moment, Bella’s phone rang. Just a few seconds later, Justin’s phone also rang as if on cue. They both reached behind them to answer their phones.

“Hello? Ralph?” Bella said.

“Bella, Linny’s autopsy has been completed. Everything is set for the funeral tomorrow.” Ralph’s voice was low.

Bella took a deep breath and nodded. “I understand.”

“Also, Ash and Ax have convinced her grandmother to stay at our sanatorium in Hatchbay. She chose it herself because Savrow was where Linny passed away, and she didn’t want to remain there. It makes sense. Plus, Hatchbay has better climate conditions because it is by the sea. It’s convenient for us to take care of her on our own turf.”

“Yeah, I agree that settling her in Hatchbay is the best choice. Thank you all for your hard work.”

Bella’s eyes were filled with pain and sorrow. “Tomorrow morning, I will be attending Linny’s funeral. But I hope the funeral will be kept low-key to avoid alarming the media and frightening the elderly lady.”

“I understand. The police have already sealed off this case thoroughly,” Ralph said.

Asher had also chosen to suppress the news using KS Group’s deterrent power. “Bella, just trust us,” he assured her. “With us around, you won't have to worry about anything.”

Meanwhile, Justin was dealing with his own matters. As soon as he picked up the phone, his ear was bombarded by Ryan’s loud voice. His eardrums almost exploded!

“Bro! We've received updates about Winston! He sneaked into Terranova and landed there last night!”

“Keep a close watch on him. Don’t let him slip away!” Justin’s heart tightened, and he hurriedly lowered his voice. “What about the police? Have they reached Terranova?”

“No, they haven't. My men got there first!”

“Alright, tomorrow, you're coming with me to Terranova.” Justin’s eyes were bloodshot with anger.

“What? So sudden!” Ryan was taken aback.

“If you can’t leave Carrie behind, find someone to take over for you. I'll go there myself.”

“No, no. Bro, if you're going, I will definitely come with you. Actually, there’s one more thing I regret more, which is allowing my stupid sister to return from India!” The thoughts of Zoe brought on a deep sense of regret and gave Ryan a headache.
