For sreason, he always sensed that Nigel harbored a deep fear of Grant. His repeated warnings, the way he seemed willing to sacrifice everything to protect him-why did it feel like Grant was no longer just a man? He seemed more like a bloodthirsty beast lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike.
lan suddenly cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Salvador, that was a close call tonight." He noticed that Justin was in a bad mood and tried to change the subject.
"What?" "You almost lost your virtue!" lan exclaimed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Lost what?" Justin's brow furrowed.
"At the garden earlier, Ms. Amaryllis almost threw herself at you. Luckily, I was quick and showed up just in tto prevent any improper interactions and save your reputation!" lan raised his chin, looking pleased with himself.
Save his reputation? Justin looked at his insufferable expression and felt the urge to knock ssense into him.
"Even if you hadn't shown up, I wouldn't have had any contact with any woman other than Bella," Justin said as he closed his eyes, his handsface cold and indifferent. "Do I really seem that untrustworthy?" "Well, as they say, it's hard to stop a shameless woman from seducing a loyal gentleman.” Justin's face grew dark with anger.
"Even the most loyal man can't resist the seduction of a woman when they get the chance," lan continued, oblivious to the trouble he was in. "Tideview Manor is not like your private residence with the Young Madam. Gossip travels fast here. If word got out that you had any interaction with Ms. Amaryllis tonight, the Young Madam might hear about it, and she might not let you stay with her tonight." Justin's eyes flashed with anger as he kicked the back of lan's chair. "Tell me, who's the man that got seduced here?" lan gulped nervously, feeling lost for words.
"If you can't explain it, say goodbye to your bonus this month." lan immediately bowed his head and said, "Mr. Salvador, you're absolutely right. I was mistaken. My mind got a little serambled, and I made a bad analogy. It won't happen again, I promise!" Justin smiled faintly, though his eyes remained dark.
"Over the next few days, look into Ms. Amaryllis's background. Check into her employment history and verify whether she really worked with Doctor Without Borders in Kridor." * Late at night, Bella was still awake, her mind occupied with thoughts of Justin.
Seated on the living room sofa, she took out several pieces of exquisite jewelry from her personal collection.
Under the soft glow of the lamp, Bella delicately handled each piece, carefully polishing them with a soft velvet cloth.
Among them were pieces she had designed herself-priceless works that no amount of money could purchase.

Bella carefully placed the jewelry back into their boxes with a bright smile on her face.
These luxurious pieces were prepared for Carrie. Bella had been looking forward to the day Carrie would get married, so she could give her the wedding gifts in person.
Things had finally settled down this time.
No one would evere between these two lovers from now on.
As she finished straightening up, the door to the room was quietly opened.
"Justin!" Bella's sadness disappeared when she saw Justin's tall frame. Her eyes gleamed with a bright, lively sparkle.
