Bella immediately felt suspicion, glancing at Justin discreetly. She could not understand what this man was up to again!
The atmosphere at the table was tense.
“It’s just ordinary trade goods. My business is nothing special.”
Christopher adjusted his glasses as he put on a perfunctory smile. Only the slightly stiff corner of his lips exposed the anger
hidden in his heart. “Mr. Salvador, you have such a rich imagination. Even if you

Justin smirked, curling his thin lips.
“Mr. Salvador, I’m not like you. You had a smooth ride in the Salvador Corporation and became a rising star in the business world
