NovelStartChapter 1150 Christopher turned away from Bella, his expression sour as he adjusted his glasses.
Justin stood next to Bella, his thin lips tightly pressed together. He wanted to intervene, but he could never match her quick wit. Even if he were to intervene now, wouldn't that just make him act like Christopher, the type of person Ryan couldn't stand? “Bella, how are you feeling? Does your back still hurt?” Wyatt asked, ignoring his daughter’s sarcasm. He was more worried about her physical well-being.

You're just like your mother. No one can stop her if she puts her mind to something! Asher, get Scott on the line immediately and ask him to take Bella to the hospital. Also, arrange for experts to personally attend to her!” But Asher was very tactful and didn’t get involved.
The young couple wanted sprivacy, and he respected her wishes not to intrude. It's best to acknowledge their desires.
“No need. I'm fine with just Justin accompanying me,” Bella said as she boldly intertwined her fingers with Justin's, her gaze meeting his, leaving no room for anyone else in her intense gaze.
“Dad, | just want to remind you that real fighters don’t chase fame.
Who was the first one to gather evidence today, apprehend the culprit, and endure intense pressure for me? Who helped Whistle and our family pursue justice? And who did all of this without seeking credit from you? | hope you can tell right from wrong and not be influenced by others’ opinions. Don’t ruin your reputation and beca joke!” With that said, Bella lifted her lovely and radiant face, pulled Justin along by his hand, and swiftly walked past Wyatt and Christopher.
Christopher felt a wave of sadness as he watched Bella leave with Justin. He clenched his fists, feeling hurt and resentful.

“That cheeky girl. She’s out of control!” Wyatt observed them leave with astonishment, refraining from intervening as he just pointed at his daughter's head and exclaimed “Whoever is unlucky enough to marry you in the future will have quite a handful with that sharp tongue of yours!” Asher and Celeste could not stop laughing after hearing this.

You've already handled it very well. If you hadn't intervened when you did, Bella might have faced even worse bullying from that girl in the Hoffman family.” Wyatt's attitude towards him remained warm and supportive.
“If only | had done things differently, maybe Bella would have noticedmore. Then you wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble for us.” Christopher expressed his deep guilt as he looked down.
“Christopher, | recognize all the efforts you've put into helping Bella,” Wyatt said after a brief pause. There was meaning behind his gaze as he earnestly said, “But remember that feelings cannot be forced.” Christopher's pupils shrank suddenly, his heart skipping a beat! ‘What does he mean?’ Just earlier, Wyatt had promised to arrange their marriage. Why did his attitude change all of a sudden? Was it because Justin had helped the Thompson family catch the culprit at the horse racing event today, causing Wyatt to view Justin differently and turn a blind eye to his daughter's years of grievances?!
