Chapter 203
After the birthday banquet, Nigel was worried about Carrie and asked his personal doctor to come
over and check up on her. Only then did the old man feel reassured.
In the corridor, two handsome men stood leaning against the window sill.
Justin asked Ryan for a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep puff. The smoke filled the air.
“Anna… Her real name is Bella Thompson, and she is the legendary daughter of Wyatt Thompson?!” Ryan still felt like it was all just a dream.
“Yeah.” Justin’s fingers trembled as he flicked the cigarette ashes.
“Fuck! Justin, you won the jackpot! How did you get so lucky?!”
Ryan patted Justin’s shoulder heavily. His charming eyes were sparkling. “You unknowingly became Wyatt’s ex-son-in-law. If you hadn’t divorced her, wouldn’t your net worth and career soar by now? You have the richest man in Hatchbay as your backer. Do you think your father and your evil stepmother will dare to bully you again? The entire Salvador Corporation will be in your grasp.’
“Even without Bella, Salvador Corporation would still be in my hands.”
Justin blew out a smoke ring and glanced at Ryan resentfully. “Do you think that I’m a useless man who needs to rely on women to get to my position?”
“No, you’re not destined for that carefree life. You’re a workaholic destined to work all your life!”
Justin was speechless.
“I just feel that it’s such a pity. If you could use the Thompson family’s influence, you could’ve retired ten years earlier!” Ryan sighed with regret.
Justin crushed the cigarette butt and felt empty and regretful, but he said the opposite to Ryan.
“I just don’t understand why she wanted to marry me back then.”
“I don’t understand either. You have a bad temper, and you’re so unromantic. You even love someone else! She would be better off marrying me than you.” Ryan spoke bluntly.
“Ryan, do you think that Wyatt will like you? Are you worthy of Bella?” Justin’s eyes darkened. He had the urge to strangle Ryan.
“At the very least, I’m not as petty as you. You just assume the worst of her when you see her with another man. Based on this alone, I think I would get more points than you in front of Bella. Don’t you agree?”
Ryan wanted to laugh. “Oh, right! Remember how you used to make trouble for her every day because she was close to Asher? You even said so many unpleasant things to her. Don’t you regret it now?”
“Who asked her to hide her identity from me?” Justin was infuriated when he thought of this.
“You’re divorced, so there’s no need for her to tell you her true identity. Besides, if you had any trust in her, you wouldn’t have done all those shitty things. That’s why I think that you two wouldn’t have lasted long anyway. You have no feelings, no trust, and no responsibility for Ms. Thompson. I can only say that I admire her willpower to endure all this for three years. If I were her, I would’ve left you in a heartbeat.”
Ryan could see everything clearly as a bystander. At this moment, his analysis pierced through Justin’s inner thoughts.
Justin’s thin lips were pursed tightly, and the veins on the back of his clenched fists were bulging.
Ryan squeezed Justin’s broad shoulders and smiled confidently. “Bro, I have learned an important lesson from you. I promise to never follow in your footsteps and learn from your mistakes. Whether she is Anna Brown or Bella Thompson, I will definitely pursue her as best I can. Wish me luck!”
“Get lost!”
If looks could kill, Justin would have chopped Ryan into pieces.
“Alright, I’ll leave.”
Before leaving, Ryan suddenly paused and narrowed his eyes intriguingly. “Are you just going to forget about what happened tonight?”
“Shannon and Bethany are inevitably involved in this.”
Justin’s voice was as deep. “Even if I have evidence, Gregory will suppress this matter because he wouldn’t want a family scandal to be made public. So I can only suppress them in other ways to teach them a lesson.”
“Ms. Thompson turned out fine this time, but what if…”
“Then Shannon and Bethany will be the ones taken away by the police tonight!”
Ryan took a breath of cold air.
At this moment, Justin’s body exuded such chill and hostility. If anything happened to Bella, he would kill them all without leaving a trace.
Justin felt a sense of crisis all of a sudden.
“What about your fiancée? When Bella was in trouble, Rosalind was the first one to spread the news to Chairman Thompson. Aren’t you suspicious of her?”
Justin’s eyebrows furrowed. Annoyance and suspicion filled his heart. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
