"Rachel, Mr. Salvador and I will pick you up downstairs at your place. Don't worry, we'll ensure no one notices." Bella reassured Rachel while her heart thumped excitedly.

"It's not about being seen or not. That's just the only time I can get out of my house," Rachel responded, sighing with frustration.

"We're coming to pick you up to ensure your safety."

Justin's voice was deep, and his expression was serious. "It's very likely that the Iversons are monitoring all of your actions now. If they notice you leaving rashly, it could be dangerous." Rachel was startled. "M-Ms. Thompson, who is this?"

"Don't be afraid, Rachel. It's Mr. Salvador. He's here with me." Bella reassured her, lifting her beautiful face slightly with a graceful hand.

Justin then leaned forward, positioning his handsome face close to hers with the elegance of a butler serving a queen, their noses nearly touching.

Bella blinked her sparkling eyes, momentarily caught off guard.

Then, he kissed her small, lovely lips.

His tongue teasingly lingered, sending her into a whirl of emotions. However, he pulled away just as she became utterly swept up in the sensation. Mmm... What a jerk, getting even naughtier by the day!

"M-Mr. Salvador?! Is it really Mr. Salvador?!"

Rachel's mood suddenly lifted, her previously subdued voice becoming bright with excitement. "Mr. Salvador! I admire you a lot! You're my idol!"

Justin frowned slightly. After a long pause, he managed to express himself with a stoic expression, "Well, thank you."

"I think you're extremely handsome, even more so than those celebrities. I really like you!"

"I already have a loved one, Ms. Thompson," Justin replied coolly, drawing Bella close by the shoulder.

"No, no! Don't get me wrong!"

Rachel hurried to clarify, "I admire your talents and looks. I didn't mean anything else with that comment! And... Actually, I really ship you and Ms. Thompson! I think you two are incredibly well-matched!" "Tsk. After all the criticism Mr. Salvador has gotten online, his good looks remain undeniable. And surprisingly, he even has fans. It seems that in today's society, appearance really is everything."

Bella playfully teased Justin, although a gleeful smile shone through her eyes that she could not hide.

"No, that's not it. Even though Mr. Salvador often faces criticism online, I believe that you and Ms. Thompson are genuinely in love."

Rachel expressed herself sincerely. "It's because I admire and trust both of you that I've decided to come forward and do this."

"Rachel, thanks for liking us, and thank you for your courage."

Bella's eyes curled into a warm smile as bright as the spring sun. "Stay safe. We'll see you tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Justin eagerly asked, "Bella, what spell did you cast this time? How did you manage to convince that girl to testify? Tell me all about it."

"Hmm... It was really nothing special. I just obtained her email address and occasionally sent her an email or two, giving her my contact info and letting her know I was eagerly awaiting her response," Bella said casually. Although she was nearly jumping with joy, her tone remained nonchalant.

However, Justin knew that, behind what she made seem effortless, she must have put in a lot of unseen effort.

"Justin, you've gained another bright ally!"

Bella wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, her soft body almost melting into his chest as she clung to him. "You're a psychic! You guessed it right. Things aren't over, and there's always a chance for change!"

Bella's praise visibly uplifted Justin. His eyes shimmered with joy. "Bella, I'm no psychic. Without your strategic planning, how could things have possibly improved this way?"

Bella firmly shook her head. "No. If I say you are, then you are. My man's words are blessed."

"Bella, I used to be quite a pessimist. Back when I was serving in the army, risking my life every day, I never really thought that I might actually survive and return from the battlefield. It's because of you that I've changed. You've infected me with your spirit, making me someone who is now optimistic. Even during that attack on the southern island, when danger fraught every second, the thought of you gave me strength, and I still harbored the hope of surviving."
