Steven replied, “Yes, but now I’m Miss…”
Bella tugged on Steven’s arm and shot a look at him, telling him to shut up.
Steven was quick-witted and immediately stopped talking.
Justin scoffed. “Hah! Asher even assigned his most trusted secretary to you. He’s really treating you
well.”
Justin put aside his complicated emotions so that his face turned stone cold again. He sneered. ” Congratulations. I guess you’re about to marry into a wealthy family again. You deceived me, and now you’re deceiving Asher Thompson. I hope that you never let him see through your true colors.”
Every word was like a knife that pierced and twisted Bella’s heart.
Steven instantly noticed Bella’s unsteady breathing because he was holding her in his arms. Her thin shoulders were also trembling slightly.
What puzzled Steven even more were Justin’s words. ‘What the hell is he talking about? Is he crazy?!’
“Steve, let me introduce you to this man.”
Bella took a deep breath and put away her heartache. She smiled and said, “This is Mr. Salvador, president of Salvador Corporation, and my ex-husband, who I was married to for three years.”
“What…?!” Steven’s face turned pale. He felt like he was struck by lightning.
Bella disappeared for three years and had gotten married to Justin Salvador.
She hid from the world and the Thompson family just so she could be Justin’s wife?!
Why the hell would she do that?!
“But now, we’re divorced, and I left without taking a penny. He has nothing to do with me, so we’re
strangers.”
“We’re not officially divorced yet! Grandpa’s birthday…”
“That’s enough! Stop using Grandpa as an excuse!”
Bella was furious. Her eyes were red as she said, “You’re just using Grandpa to maintain this ridiculous marriage so that you can humiliate me like this, right? That’s because you know that I care about Grandpa.”
Justin’s body shook. He winced in pain, as if this woman had bitten him.
Anna had never been so angry before. In his memory, she was an even-tempered person. She was like
a sandbag that he could punch because she would never complain, no matter what.
But this time, her eyes were full of anger and hatred.
It was a hundred times worse than the last time she glared at him in the hospital.
Bella yelled, “There’s nothing left between us. You ended our relationship by cheating on me while we were still married. But have I ever blamed you for anything? What gives you the right to isolate and neglect me when we were married while still expecting me to be a chaste and dutiful wife? Do you expect me to never marry again? How can you be so selfish?”
Selfish?
Justin felt a stabbing pain in his chest.
He did not even realize how abnormal his behavior was gradually becoming. He also did not know why he was still so obsessed with his ex-wife.
“What’s more, I have never broken a promise. I will keep our divorce a secret until Grandpa’s birthday. You were the one who failed to handle this and allowed Rosalind to expose everything.”
Bella smiled bitterly. The last glint of light in her eyes was extinguished. “Come to think of it, I know why you’re blaming me for everything. That’s because you don’t want to blame Rosalind, right?”
Justin felt that his whole body had turned to stone.
He watched helplessly as Steven held his ex-wife. His cheeks were hot, as if he had been slapped
countless times.
“I will never look back.”
Justin clenched his fists.
He had clearly given her up first, but why did he feel like the one being abandoned?
His throat was filled with bitterness, and his heart felt like it had been shot.
