Justin's eyes flashed with anger, and his temples throbbed noticeably. "I don't want that man laying his dirty hands on my woman."
"Have you thought about what will happen if you do that?" As an observer, Ryan calmly pointed out the potential consequences. "The Reeds are holding a banquet tonight to find new business partners. Everyone is eager for the opportunity, including Chairman Thompson.
If you cause trouble, it could ruin any chance Chairman Thompson has of making deals. Bella warned that her father holds grudges, so don't mess things up. You don't want to risk your dream of marrying Bella being shattered!"
While Justin hesitated, Bella smiled charmingly and said, "Mr. Wilson Jr., it's a pleasure to have you here in Savrow. To show respect, please allow me to reciprocate using the etiquette of your country."
With that, her melodious voice trailed off, and the enchanting woman lowered her long eyelashes, gracefully lifting the hem of her red evening gown in a dignified and elegant princess-like gesture. The men around her, including Wilson Jr., couldn't help but be mesmerized.
In an instant, it seemed like they had been transported back to a fancy medieval European ball. Everyone was captivated. However, only Bella knew she simply didn't want to touch this man's hand.

Bella reckoned he could probably field a football team with his illegitimate children.
Justin could see through her thoughts, and the corners of his lips curled into a gentle smile filled with sweet affection. Wilson Jr. remained smug, believing that Bella was interested in him, his eyes revealing an air of self-assured foolishness.
"The first purpose of this gathering is to announce upcoming business collaborations, and secondly, it is also my son's hope to provide both parties with an opportunity to understand each other better, as well as to get to know Ms. Thompson better."
Wilson's intentions were too obvious! He had his eyes set on Bella and intended to make her Mrs. Reed in the future! Asher's expression suddenly turned serious as he looked at his father with a mix of emotions.
Out of the blue, Wyatt's following words caught both the Reeds off guard. "Mr. Reed, are you interested in making my daughter your daughter-in-law?" Everyone was shocked!
Bella was also taken aback. She had not anticipated Wyatt to be so blunt! He was a man of reputation, yet he lacked insight.
Justin felt his heart tighten, and a cold sweat broke out on his palms. He had always trusted Bella without hesitation, but Wyatt was another story.
Wyatt could marry Amelia off to someone as evil as Christopher for the sake of the conglomerate's interests, so why wouldn't he consider the offer extended by the Wilson family?
On top of that, Wyatt had never held Justin in high esteem.
