"Wyatt, I forbid you to go! Just stay put!" Bella's heart raced with urgency as she stood before her father.
"How dare you?! I'm your father! You have no right to meddle in my affairs! You don't get to call the shots in the Thompson family
either!"
The father-daughter duo were locked in a heated standoff.
Mila stood frozen in place, overwhelmed by the situation.
Since being with Bella, Justin has never encountered such a situation. He was unsure who to comfort first or how to intervene in
their argument.
"Wyatt, you..." Bella gasped, her clenched fists turning white from the strain.
"Bella, if you really are a dutiful daughter, then stop provoking me. Stop making me yell until my voice is hoarse."
Wyatt's sweat soaked through his robe. His labored breathing made even catching his breath a struggle. His vision also began to
blur, and the image of his most beloved daughter grew increasingly faint. "Is it so hard for you to grant me this one wish?"
At 1:30 p.m., Wyatt appeared at the KS Group Headquarters with Quentin, Bella, and Justin accompanying him.
Donning a sharp suit like a suit of armor, Wyatt's energy belied the man who had struggled to get out of bed an hour earlier.
It was like a testament to the potent effects of the medication.
Concerned, Justin and Bella followed Wyatt all the way to the conference room, much like parents escorting their child to school.
"Hey, Wyatt!"
In an unexpected encounter, Wyatt's notorious brother, Cameron appeared before them.
Wyatt's keen eyes flashed, and a serene smile played on his lips. "Hey, Cameron."
"Wyatt, how are you doing?" Cameron approached them. His face was full of apparent concern as he observed his elder brother.
In reality, he was probing.
"I've fully recovered. Thanks for thinking of me," Wyatt replied with a composed expression.
"Oh, there's no need for such formalities between us brothers. At our age, all sorts of ailments start cropping up, especially those
heart and brain issues. You have to be extra careful!"
At this point, Cameron noticed Justin standing behind Wyatt. He exuded a formidable vibe, like a grim reaper.
Initially, Cameron felt a twinge of fear. But then he reminded himself that he was at the headquarters of the KS Group, not the
Salvador Corporation. He was on his own turf, with his brother present. What was there to fear?
So Cameron shot Justin a sly smile. "Mr. Salvador, are you joining us for the meeting? Has the Salvador Corporation also
invested in KS Group now?"
Justin's eyes darkened.
But with Wyatt present, Justin held back, respecting his seniority.
"Haha... I was just kidding."
Cameron waved his hand dismissively, laughing. "But we would certainly welcome Mr. Salvador's investment in our group. After
all, rumors are flying around that, as the illegitimate son trying to secure his position in the Salvador family, you're aiming to
become Wyatt's son-in-law, then use KS Group to boost your standing in the Salvador Corporation and gain more benefits for
yourself. Well, it's quite detailed gossip. If you really were to invest, it would not only earn you some good impression from my big
brother but also put an end to those rumors, wouldn't it?"
"Hmph, Uncle Cameron, I thought only your fashion sense was outdated, but I didn't realize your information was just as
ancient."
Bella felt an urge to tear Cameron apart. However, she maintained a radiant smile and was calm and collected. "Even if you
haven't switched to using 5G, you should have at least watched the TV, right? Justin is not an illegitimate son, He is the rightful
heir of the Salvador family. After Shannon's downfall, the media widely covered Justin's official status. If you keep spreading
these outdated rumors, people will think you are Shannon's accomplice. They will think you're still holding a grudge and refusing
to let go of Justin."
Justin gazed deeply at the petite woman. His heart felt warm and cozy.
