Upon hearing that there was good news, the crowd perked up, looking at Gregory's ambiguous expression.

Gregory's gaze flickered as he smiled at Justin. "Justin, come here."

Justin's heart skipped a beat inexplicably, and he frowned as he watched the woman beside him. His fingers tightened as he was unwilling to part with her.

"Go on. I'll be right here. I won't go anywhere."

Bella looked into his eyes gently and slowly pulled out her hand, which was red from Justin's right grip.

Justin did not have a reason to refuse at this moment, so he could only walk to Gregory under everyone's watchful eyes.

Gregory revealed a rare smile full of fatherly love, raised his hand, and patted Justin's shoulder. He turned to face the crowd and smiled.

"Tonight, with the joy of the collaboration between Mr. Reed and Chairman Thompson, I would like to announce another good news from our family. My son, Justin, has decided to marry Chairman Logan's granddaughter, Zoe Hoffman. The engagement ceremony will be held this month!"

The crowd's mouths hung open with shock.

What?!

Justin was getting engaged to Zoe?!

Some people looked at Zoe, who had been designated as the Salvador family's future young madam by Gregory.

Zoe was so excited that her whole body trembled as if she were twitching. Her eyes were wide and round, sparkling with excitement, almost breaking into tears.

Finally!

God knew how long she had waited for this day and how much effort her family had made to convince Gregory to accept her. She finally had the chance to show off in front of Bella, making Bella the laughingstock!

The humiliation and grievances she had suffered from that bitch all this while would finally be avenged.

At this moment, more eyes were shockingly looking at Bella with a complex gaze.

The color had drained from Bella's face, and her shoulders shook, as if she were submerged in a dark, freezing lake. Her body, which had felt warm because of Justin just now, slowly froze. Her blood was bone-piercingly cold, so painful that her mind went blank.

Zoe stared at her, laughing maniacally. 'How delightful! Bella had finally lost her sharp claws, looking disheveled and lost. It was truly too satisfying!'

"A marriage alliance between the Hoffman and Salvador families?! Why was there no word of such a big event? It is too abnormal!"

"Isn't this the Salvador Corporation's usual style? They only announced Justin's marriage to Bella publicly after they divorced. They hid those three years of marriage so well, and they're just repeating it this time with the Hoffmans."

"Huh? If Justin was about to get engaged to Zoe, what was his deep affection for Bella?"

"Perhaps they love each other, but Chairman Salvador disapproves of it. I never thought Justin and Bella were a good match from the beginning. Bella got Madam Shannon into jail! She exposed the Salvador family in broad daylight! If I were Chairman Salvador, no matter how beautiful, outstanding, and strong this woman was, I wouldn't let her into the family. I'm not lacking her money!"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, each word piercing Bella's heart until it was bloody and tattered.

When Wyatt heard of the marriage alliance between those two families, it felt like a thunderbolt had struck his ears. He was in disbelief and humiliated.

His precious daughter had suffered enough humiliation when they divorced in the past. Now, the whole world knew that Bella had gotten back together with Justin. Everyone also saw the intimacy and unique favoritism they showed each other.

However, Gregory dared to say that Justin was getting engaged to Zoe.

He did not believe Gregory genuinely wanted to ally with the Hoffmans. He was using the person Bella cared about the most, his own son, to take revenge against them.

Bah!

How petty and despicable!
