“Anyway, | have to catch Winston before the police do.”
Men, especially those in love, tend to be very competitive.
Both Justin and Bella hung up their phones almost simultaneously
and turned around to face each other.
“Let’s go to Linny’s funeral tomorrow morning,” Bella said, her eyes
slightly red.
“Yeah, let's go together,” Justin replied.
After a moment of contemplation, Justin embraced Bella's waist as if
preparing to embark on a long journey, pulling her gently into his arms.
“Bella, there is an important project discussion tomorrow. As the
president, | need to be present. | might have to leave for a business
trip for a few days.”
“How many days?” Bella asked as she took a deep breath.
“Maybe five days, possibly ten?” Justin felt uneasy, even though he
knew it was a white lie. Deceiving the person he loved the most

weighed heavily on his conscience.
Bella blinked and asked, “Where are you going?”
“Inalia,” Justin lied, feeling guilty as he met her gaze.
“Alright then, take care while you're away,” Bella replied calmly.
All of a sudden, Justin embraced her tightly and said, “Bella, please

Without saying a word, Bella slowly wrapped her slender arms around
him. Her actions expressed more than words ever could.

The dense night fog surrounded everything, with the moon hanging in the sky. Despite it being early spring,
persistent overcast skies and drizzle had kept the temperature low.
“Tomorrow morning, the maid from the Salvador family will be laid to
rest.”
In the lavishly decorated room of Pivotage, Christopher sat on the sofa with his legs crossed as he faced away
from his secretary,
swirling wine in his glass.
“Oh.”
“Ms. Thompson will definitely attend. After all, that girl sacrificed
herself to save her. If Ms. Thompson goes, how could Justin not
attend?”
Taylor hesitantly approached him and asked, “Will you be attending?”
“She’s only a mere maid. Even if she saved Bella’s life, there’s no need
for such a commotion, right?”
Christopher smoothly sipped his wine as he gazed through his icy and mocking eyes. “Had she not shielded
Bella, she would have
remained a lowly maid forever.”
He continued, “But now, things are different. Because of her wise decision, she has becBella’s savior. Bella

her kindness, and her family will be well-treated because of her sacrifice. No matter how you look at it, it's
something worth sacrificing everything for.”
Taylor listened quietly, sweat forming on his back.

Christopher had the talent for making irrational and unreasonable statements appear completely logical and
justified. Despite his
cruelty, he always maintained a serene smile that put people at ease
around him, like soaking up the spring breeze.
However, this was only the case under specific circumstances. If
provoked or if someone touched his belongings or coveted them, he
could instantly turn into someone cruel and unforgiving.
Christopher finished his drink, his gaze deep as sadness devoured
him.
His decision not to go was not because he didn’t want to. It had been
a while since he last saw Bella, and the longing for her made it hard
for him to sleep or eat properly. He felt restless in his soul.
However, showing up unannounced tomorrow would only deepen h
resentment toward him. He had already fallen behind Justin by a ste
and couldn't afford any more setbacks.
Just then, the door creaked open slowly as Yvonne entered with a furrowed brow, holding an envelope in her
hand.
“Mr. Iverson, the person you sent has returned with something.”
