Chapter 734
Charles glared at him. “Do you mean that I gave him the chance to
humiliate me?”
“No! Please don’t take my words wrongly. I’m just feeling indignant
for you! After all, you’re the one appointed by Chairman Iverson to marry Ms. Bella!” Cold beads
formed on the secretary’s forehead.
“I don’t need you to feel indignant on my behalf. I need ideas!” Charles was so agitated that he started
breathing irregularly, and his hand
trembled.
Seeing this, the secretary hastily brought a new glass and filled it with
whiskey. Charles drank it in one gulp, slowly calming down.
Who would have thought that the graceful and well-mannered man
was actually a manic man who needed alcohol to numb his nerves
and could not control his emotions?
“If that guy made you mad, you should return the favor. At least, you
shouldn’t let him have a smooth and happy date with Ms. Bella,” the

Charles’ eyes lit up as if he were inspired. After pondering for a
moment, he hooked his fingers at the secretary.
“I have an idea. Go and handle it for me now.”
Unable to contact Bella or get information from Asher, Justin was on
pins and needles.
He even began to have heart palpitations and hallucinations. There
a buzzing sound in his ears.
was
“Mr. Salvador, the chairman has an important social event ongoing
now. He wants you to be there immediately. Since you’ve just
recovered and have not appeared in public for a long time, tonight is crucial as it marks your first
appearance.”
As the president’s secretary, lan was always reliable on important matters. “You are the president and
the heir appointed by Chairman Salvador. You need to attend such events to show that you are well
and stable.”
Justin frowned and said nothing, merely staring blankly at the dark screen of his phone.
“Mr. Salvador, you can be in love, but it shouldn’t be your whole world.”
lan sighed helplessly. “I know you’re worried about Young Madam, but she is an adult with a noble
status. She has many brothers protecting her, and she’s more than capable of protecting hers What
could possibly happen to her? You’ve never been such an irrational person. A man needs to prioritize
his career.”
“Do you think it’s wrong for me to care about her?” Justin’s brows scrunched together.
lan was speechless. “That’s not what I mean.”
“In the past, I worked like a tireless and rigid robot. I had a wife, but
never took her seriously. At that time, nothing was more important than work to me. I felt that if I lost my
status, I would’ve lost
everything.”
Justin closed his eyes slowly. “After Bella left, I finally realized that I
was nothing without her by my side… Everything I possessed had

So what if he stood at the top of the social pyramid?
He still felt the pain of losing the woman he loved the most.
“Mr. Salvador, how can you say this? You’ve always told me that you strive to stand at the top even if
there’s no one up there with you because you need the power to protect the people around you. You
wanted fame and success to fulfill your responsibility to your
deceased mother!” lan spoke anxiously.
Justin’s eyelashes fluttered.
Thinking of his mother’s tragic death, he felt suffocated, the pain in his heart overwhelmingly clear.
“Moreover, you should not choose between love and career. If you only knew to please Young Madam
and neglected your work, what would happen when you ended up worse off than Young Mad
lan pursed his lips. “Do you want her to provide for you? That’s embarrassing…”
Justin narrowed his eyes, his chest filled with annoyance.
Although lan’s words were unpleasant, they were not without reaso “Prepare the car. We’re leaving
