âDidnât have a good relationship? How thick of a skin must you have to say this in front of Bella?â
Justin stood out without hesitation at this moment. His eyes narrowed, and he did not conceal his
disdain. âYou are merely my fatherâs second wife, and I am not your son. You were never Bellaâs
mother-in-law in the first place. But even so, Bella respected you during the three years she lived with
the Salvador family and always satisfied your unreasonable requests. She endured you and Bethanyâs
bullying. Why arenât you speaking of those now?â
Bella felt a lump form in her throat. The upsetting past resurfaced in her mind, causing her fingers to
curl.
Although Justin did not look at her, he understood her bitterness and held her hand with a force she
could not resist. âAlso, Bella married me because she loved me. Is there anything wrong with loving
someone? She did not do anything wrong. I was the one who m mistake. I didnât see through
Rosalindâs true colors and kept co with her while married, hurting Bellaâs heart. I didnât know my own
feelings. I fell in love with Bella long ago but did not know it.â
At this moment, the camera flashes erupted again.
The president of the Salvador Corporation protected his former wife in front of all the media, and he
even admitted that he had an affair!
Shannonâs expression changed. Even Bethany was dumbfounded, her mouth hanging open.
They did not expect that for Bella, Justin was willing to throw away his image, reputation, and identity!
They had underestimated Justinâs love for Bella.
He was willing to shatter to pieces himself if it meant she remained unscathed; he was willing to be
covered in filth for her to remain pure.
Bellaâs lips trembled, and she stared at Justinâs back, standing as firm as a rock in front of her. For a
moment, her emotions surged, making her almost teary-eyed.
What moved her more than saying âI love youâ a thousand times was that Justin understood her
grievances and wanted the best for her.
âIâll make it clear one more time, and hopefully the last time.â
Justinâs sharp gaze swept across Shannon and Bethany, finally passing over the crowd. âIn our divorce,
I was in the wrong, and it has nothing to do with Ms. Bella. If any media dares to write anything against
Ms. Bella, even one word, I will investigate it thorough make the rumor-mongers pay a painful price!â
His words stunned everyone.
Shannon and Bethany shivered. They tacitly stepped back, not daring to provoke further.
âAwesome.â Ralph was impressed and clapped as a sign of respect.
Asher and Axel nodded as well, expressing their agreement.
Drew, watching from a distance, curled his lips. He turned around and lit a cigarette, revealing a
satisfied smile.
âThis brat is looking more and more like my brother-in-law.â
At this moment, a reporter was caught in the moment and asked loudly, âMr. Salvador! Since you and
Ms. Bella are divorced, why do you still interact so much? Iâve been following both of you for a while.
When Ms. Bella encountered several difficulties, you always stood out to help her. Do you treat her so
well because she was your ex- wife, or do you still have lingering feelings for her?â
âYeah! Mr. Salvador, what is your relationship with Ms. Bella now?â The other reporters echoed.
Just as Bella was at a loss for what to do, Justinâs eyes reddened, and he said clearly, âOnce, she was
my ex-wife. Now, I am hers.â
As his words fell, he turned around to look at Bella. Tears filled his eyes when their gazes met.
