Chapter 556
lan shut his dropped jaw and gave a thumbs up. “G-Good. You look
good.”
The man grimaced. “Why do I look good?”
lan was stunned. It then dawned on him.
If Justin was in good spirits, it meant that he was on the mend, and
Bella would feel less guilty and pay less attention to him.
On the contrary, if Justin looked pale and sickly, Bella would feel bad,
despite not admitting it.
Tsk. So that was Justin’s plan.
lan had to admit that Justin was pretty sneaky.
Justin and lan were stopped at the door when trying to get into the
establishment.
“Ms. Walker is with a guest now. She won’t have time for other guests.
today.”
Justin turned stern. “Is Ms. Walker with her mentor now?”
The assistant was surprised. “How did you know?”
“I’m here for her.”
Justin narrowed his eyes with composure. “I’m Ms. Thompson’s husband. Surely, I shouldn’t be stopped from seeing my wife.”
lan was dumbfounded.
The first rule of pursuing an ex-wife was to ditch one’s pride and ego.
The assistant frowned and sized Justin up before uttering coldly, “Do you think I can’t recognize you, Mr. Salvador? If I remember
correctly, your fiancé, Ms. Rosalind Gold, reserved a dress from us to announce your wedding on her birthday several months
ago. It was huge news.”
The mention of Rosalind rubbed Justin the wrong way, and he
frowned.
“It hasn’t been long, and now you’re telling me that Ms. Walker’s
mentor is your wife. Do you think we’re dumb?”
Justin opened his mouth to explain, but a curt voice cut through the
air.
“What did you say, Justin? What’s that? Who is your wife?”
Roza shouted while rushing toward Justin with widened eyes.
“Your mentor is Bella, the heiress of KS Group. She’s also my wife.”
Justin paused for a moment before he added “once” to prevent an unnecessary misunderstanding.
“Jesus Christ...”
Roza was not taking the news too well. Still, she was in disbelief. Don’t spread lies to ruin my mentor’s fame and reputation. We
can
sue you!”
“It’s okay if you don’t believe me. You can ask your mentor. She’ll tell
you.” Justin carried himself with composure.
“No way. I don’t get it. My mentor isn’t blind and dumb. What could
she ever possibly see in you?”
Roza sprung back to stay away from Justin. “Only a shallow woman like Rosalind would be interested in a shameless old man
like you.”
Justin pursed his lips embarrassedly
That was true. Why did Bella like him?
Sure, he had saved her life before, but that was thirteen years ago. Bella was only 11 years old at the time. How could she think
about
marrying him at that young age?
It did not make sense.
“That’s right. Justin is my ex-husband.”
The trio looked up in the direction of the voice from the second floor.
Dressed in a satin blouse paired with black pants, Bella rested her arms on the railing and smiled pretentiously. Despite Justin
standing in her line of vision, his presence held no weight in the scale of her
attention.
“Pardon me, but everybody makes mistakes.”
