Chapter 1176
"Justin, although your brother is recuperating from his illness in
Meridan, you must not let down your guard. His first public
appearance was when you guys signed the contract with Journey
Ventures. Since he has taken action, it means that he'll return sooner
or later." Bella could not help worrying for Justin.
"Bella, you're really afraid of me freeloading on you." Justin chuckled
and teased her.
"I'm serious!"
"I'm not afraid of him coming back or confronting him directly. If he
wants to take back what belonged to him under the premise of fair competition, I will have no complaints."
Bella knew the kidnapping case had always been a thorn in Justin's
heart. He always felt as if he owed Grant.
"But if he operates in the shadows and uses illegal means, I won't let him. Your family won the race in the horse racing event. If Wilson Reed keeps to his word, he should choose you without hesitation. But if my brother or someone else tries to sabotage it, I won't sit idly." Justin's deep voice fluttered in her ears, particularly strumming her heartstrings. "Don't worry. I'm here."
Celeste did not go on a vacation, as she said. Instead, she stayed
home to take care of Wyatt and cook for the family.
calm and quiet.
She was grateful to Bella for avenging her, but once she had a lover,
family, and daughter, vengeance was nothing more than an
insignificant speck of dust in her eyes.
Bella happily gulped down all the nutritious soup Celeste made for
her.
Bella's three stepmothers surrounded her, relieved once they saw
Bella's rosy cheeks.
"Looks like that brat took good care of you."
Sasha rested her chin on her hand and shook her head. "After
listening to you, I quite admire Justin. A privileged young master w
willing to become a househusband for you. That's not a small
sacrifice."
"Indeed. Wyatt would never do the same thing. He's too proud." Mi smiled and teased.
Bella put on a smug expression, feeling as if she had struck gold.
"Bella, be patient a little longer. I think Wyatt is considering your
relationship with Justin. He's just too proud to go back on his words."
Celeste's words stunned the other three women, delighting them.
"Really?!"
"Wyatt had his eyes on Christopher before and kept trying to create opportunities
for you and him. But after the horse racing event, I think
clear to Christopher that day. Wyatt won't intervene in your relationship with Justin anymore. Everything will take its natural
course."
Bella felt extremely excited and drank another bowl of soup.
They have finally seen a ray of hope!
"Madam Celeste, Ms. Amelia and Mr. Lovett are here. They are
waiting in the living room downstairs." The butler came and reported.
Celeste's expression turned slightly stiff. "Got it. I'll come over in a while."
"Aunt Celeste, you don't look right. Did anything happen?" Bella keenly noticed Celeste's unusual act.
Celeste did not know how to start, but Sasha quickly chimed in,' Wyatt is aware of Amelia and Steven dating. He disagrees with it. Moreover, Steven's brother is Shannon's defense attorney, and h father supports him in servicing the Salvador Corporation. Wyatt is even more displeased by it."
