Chapter 491
Bella gave Nigel a few more reminders about his health before excusing herself and leaving the room.
She had just left the room when Justin hurriedly came after her.
“I’ll send you home,” Justin said simply.
Bella had to suppress her anger in front of Nigel earlier. At this moment, it finally erupted as she quickly took a few steps back and pointed at his face.
She yelled loudly, “Halt!”
Justin frowned in confusion.
Bella pursed her lips in slight embarrassment. She originally wanted to say “no” but ended up saying “halt” due to some crossed wires.
Whatever, it meant the same thing!
“I don’t need you to send me home. I’m an adult, and it’s not like I don’t know the way home!”
“It’s late. I’ll send you home.” Justin unrelentingly took a step forward.
Bella remembered that she had been hugged by this man earlier that night and gritted her teeth. She patted her shoulder to dust off some invisible dirt. “Justin Salvador, I didn’t flip my shit earlier only because Grandpa Nigel was around, not because I want any form of relationship with you, so don’t cross the line. Right now, I’m super pissed because of Hunter Lovett and Bethany Salvador. I get the urge. to smack even a passing dog. So if you come any closer, trust me. when I say I’ll beat your ass.” novelbin
Bella thought she was very threatening and intimidating when she said this.
But Justin felt a bit like laughing when he heard this, so he smiled. slightly.
“If Hunter causes trouble for you again, tell me, and I’ll help you deal with him,” Justin said softly.
“Ha! There’s no need for an outsider like you to interfere in the affairs between the Lovetts and us Thompsons. Just mind yourself!”
Bella recalled that Justin had offended Hunter Lovett in front of the entire Salvador family just to protect her earlier, and a complex feeling arose in her heart.
But on second thought, that bastard was probably more concerned about his own interests.
After all, she could tell Gregory Salvador wanted Hunter Lovett to join. Salvador Corporation. If Hunter really became Salvador Corporation’s legal counsel, that was equivalent to Gregory gaining a fierce general, which would make the situation unfavorable for that bastard.
When she thought of this, Bella sneered.
Right when Justin took a step to try to get closer to her once more, at stern voice spoke from behind him.
“Justin!”
Justin frowned and turned around to see Gregory walking toward him quickly.
“Come to my study. I have something to say to you.”
“I’ll come see you later. Right now, I need to send Ms. Thompson home.” Justin replied calmly, not budging.
“Send? Ha! Does she even need you? Ms. Thompson is long gone!”
Justin was stunned.
When he turned back around, that woman, who was as agile as a rabbit, had long disappeared without a trace.
Bella walked out of the Salvador home expressionlessly.
“Ms. Thompson.”
She paused. Her gaze grew colder when she saw Hunter walk up to her with a fake smile on his face.
“Regardless of whether you’re happy about it, I’ve still gotten Ms. Bethany Salvador through this crisis. It’s not shameful for you to lose. to me.”
“Truthfully, no matter how I think about it, I’ve come out on top this time.”
Bella was not angered by him and instead taunted him by going along with his words. “Through this incident, I finally see you completely for who you are. I’ve seen many people complain about the cook after finishing their food, but you are the first who’s smashed the plate after you’re done eating. I just wonder if Uncle Neil knew the dream of the son he was most proud of was to wipe the asses of the rich and even worked against your former benefactors. Would he be ashamed of you?”
Hunter’s insincere smile stiffened completely, and his expression suddenly darkened. “Ms. Thompson, I went easier on you precisely because you’re Chairman Thompson’s daughter! You’re crossing the line by provoking me repeatedly! Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you’re rich?”
“You’ve just reminded me that I am the daughter of the richest ma Hatchbay. It’s a talent of mine to do whatever I want. Why shou leave such a noble status unused if I have it?”
Bella’s beautiful eyes narrowed dangerously, and the curl of her rea lips was like a saber that drew no blood when it killed. “So from now” on, before you go against me again, you’d better remember whose daughter I am and whose support I have. My temper is much worse. than my father’s.”
Turning on her chic and cool stilettos, Bella left in style.
Hunter gritted his teeth as he watched her beautiful figure go.
“Bella Thompson, don’t take me for that useless younger brother of mine. Just because Steven is willing to be the Thompsons’ dog, it doesn’t mean that I’m so cowardly to bend to your every wish! There are many days ahead of us. Our confrontation is yet to come!”
