Chapter 424

Chapter 424

“Decant the bottle of Lafite, Steve.” Furrowing her brows, Bella turned away with her phone.

Steven felt sad because he knew Bella wanted him to give her space.

“I know what you’re thinking, Steve. I hate Justin due to our failed marriage, but we’re not enemies.”

With a smile, Bella patted his shoulder understandingly. “I’m bound to run into him if I want to set up base in Savrow and expand KS Group. I’m just trying to be adaptable.”

“But Ms. Bella-”

“What’s there to fear? Are you scared that he’s going to take advantage of me? Drew will take him out before Ash has a chance to if he tries anything.” Bella scoffed offhandedly.

Steven thought, ‘No, that’s not it. I love and honor you with all my heart. I’m not scared to put my life on the line for you. The only thing I fear is that you’ll fall in love with Justin again. I can’t bear to see you go down that road again.”

He sighed in dejection and left with the red wine in hand.

The phone in Bella’s palm vibrated persistently, which was very much like Justin’s stubbornness.

“What can I do for you, Mr. Salvador?” Bella took the call, her voice aloof as always.

“Thank you for your cake. It was delicious.”

Bella’s breath became shallow, and her lashes cast a shadow below her eyes.

The night was silent.

Justin’s husky voice was alluring.

In the past, she had enjoyed calling him on the phone to hear his voice. Despite his indifference, she would roll around in bed excitedly.

Yet now, she felt nothing.

She prided herself on having great discipline and being able to kick any addiction, including love.

“You’re welcome. I hope the cake serves as a good reminder to you to keep your advice to yourself and mind your own business.” Bella took a deep breath, her eyes chilling.

“I don’t think I was interfering.”

Justin sounded solemn. “Your business is my business too.”

Bella jeered. “I guess you can say that. You need me to take Bethany down a notch. If Bethany succeeds and becomes the general manager of the Salvador Hotel, your stepmother might be at it again, and you could find yourself in a predicament.”

Justin scowled.

Before, when Bella was still “Anna Brown”, she had put him before anything else, tending to him with great care.

Now, Bella hurt him with cutting remarks and only talked about plots and strategies..

However, he could not forget and move on from the woman who made his heart bleed.

It did not cost him anything to put his ego aside.

“Bella, do you think I care about Shannon and Bethany? They can’t start anything on my watch. Else, I wouldn’t have been president for many years.”

Justin paused for a moment, clearly with more on his mind, but he hesitated.

Bella clenched her fists, her knuckles popping. “I’d suggest you stay. out of my business, Justin. From an ex to an ex, this is my last advice to you. I can be ruthless when I get angry. Things might get messy, and innocents could get involved. You have been warned about getting caught in the crossfire, okay?”

“Don’t let anything stop you from doing what you want to.

Justin’s voice danced around her ear. “I can’t help you much, but one will stand against you with me at the helm of Salvador Corporation.”
